Welcome back, craft beer lovers. Steph from the Utah Brewers Guild joins Greg and Flex as Greg uncovers a five-year-old IPA lurking in the craft beer thrift shop, the hunt for the worst beer ever ordered adds a few strong contenders, and Psycho Bear calls in with a surprise update. Somewhere in the middle, Flex explains why he’d absolutely steal a penguin if given the opportunity, before Booze News delivers a story about a drunk driver getting arrested while picking up another drunk driver from jail.

Beers We’re Drinking:

Greg is drinking Hippie Van Hazy from Malibu Brewing Company, a dank, piney hazy IPA.
Steph is drinking a Mexican Lager from Templin Family Brewing after her Drowned Lands Kinsfolk doppelbock went full soy sauce.
Flex is drinking Watercolors Fruit Punch from Skygazer Brewing, a smoothie sour repeat that turned out to be a great mistake.

Greg’s latest trip to the craft beer thrift shop uncovers a five-year-old IPA still sitting on the shelf; this should be a crime. The conversation turns into a collection of beer horror stories involving pennies, blood, soy sauce, habanero beer, and memorable drain pours, while Steph shares a disappointing doppelbock that made a cross-country trip for nothing. A surprise voicemail from Psycho Bear brings updates from California beer country before the group debates pickle beer, Mexican lagers, and whether Flex could successfully leave a zoo with a penguin.
