Grab a craft beer and join us. A listener calls in with a story about the worst beer he’s ever had, we debate whether Busch Light counts as a Wisconsin tumbleweed, and we learn a Scottish beer term that needs better PR. There’s talk about driving before Uber existed, Monster selling off more brewery equipment, Rogue heading to auction, Sam Adams pushing a 9 percent wheat ale, and a Florida man who kept driving while his car was on fire.

Beers We’re Drinking:

Greg is drinking Legends of the Hidden Terpene from Cellarmaker Brewing, a citrus-forward West Coast IPA.
Flex is drinking Honeymoon Phase from BlackStack Brewing, a fresh hop double IPA loaded with sweet citrus, melon, and tropical candy vibes.

Listener Brian brings us back to some truly awful beers, barely fermented pours from a tiny spot where everything somehow tasted exactly the same. That leads to a conversation about terrible brewery names and even worse logos, including a ferret that looks like it lost a fight. Andrew writes in to find out if the Wisconsin Tumbleweed is real, which turns out to be a can of Busch Light rolling down the street. We also bring back Obscure Beer Term of the Week with “inky pinky,” a real Scottish phrase for weak beer that sounds like anything but. From there the guys get into the pre-Uber days, how impairment actually hits, and why having options now is a very good thing.
