Send us Fan Mail Air conditioning, beer heists, Oktoberfest fights, and questionable science. Just another week in beer. We kick things off with a little life strategy involving air conditioning and the responsible use of PTO before getting into an increasingly frustrating problem: finding good local craft beer singles. We love trying new beers, but buying a whole four- or six-pack every time we want to check something out gets expensive fast. Up north, Canadian booze is finding itself on the...

Send us Fan Mail Brian’s A/C is busted, it’s still hot as hell, and somehow Oktoberfest season is already here. So naturally, we kick things off talking about sweating through late summer while drinking beers designed for Fall. We also get into boilermakers this week, including a couple with a nod to Dolly Parton: The Dumb Blonde and The Jolene. From there, beer news gets weird.

Way back in 2024 Brian acquired this set and it took us a couple...

Send us Fan Mail This week, we start on a somber note as we remember Alan Sprints, founder of Hair of the Dog Brewing and one of the true pioneers of American craft beer. Sprints helped define what bold, unconventional brewing could look like, and his influence can still be found in breweries and beer cellars across the country. From there, we move into beer politics. The Teamsters are pushing for a massive 75% tariff on imported beer, a proposal that could have a major impact on breweries, d...
