S5-E37, Imagine biting into a fresh pumpkin while sipping on a pumpkin pie automail—sounds intriguing, right? This episode launches with a spirited pumpkin beer tasting session featuring some of the most unique autumnal brews from Royal Bliss Brewing Company and Brew Dog. We savor the earthy bitterness of pumpkin ales and the tropical storm of IPAs, and share our lively chat about Royal Bliss's vibrant atmosphere in Denver, North Carolina, where concerts and eclectic brews await. Amidst jokes about pairing peach body fruited wheat beer with bath salts, we can't help but spotlight their award-winning beer lineup and tease a tantalizing tasting adventure.

But not all is smooth sailing, as a Southern storm disrupts our plans to attend an Appalachian State game, sparking reflections on the resilience and generosity found in North Carolina. We share stories of ticket refunds, kindness, and the quirky challenges of event logistics, like parking in strip malls. Our adventure through the stormy aftermath is lightened with laughter, discussing odd travel plans and the unpredictable weather. Anticipation builds for Bliss-tober Fest, where we look forward to more beer tastings and perhaps a new golf escapade amidst the chaos of recovering from nature's whims.

Craft beer lovers will enjoy our candid tasting session, as we weigh the merits of pumpkin ales against peach-flavored wheat beers. The surprise bitter notes of chocolate pumpkin flavors earn mixed reviews, while the peach beer's authenticity makes it a crowd favorite. We also delve into the art of beer selection at local breweries, from industrial aesthetics to the perfect appetizer pairing. Wrapping up, we touch on societal norms, public intervention dilemmas, and the humorous missteps of navigating the world of craft beer, all while sending heartfelt gratitude and support to our listeners. Stay connected, stay safe, and join us for this merry brew-filled journey!
