I’m excited to bring you the YouTube replay of “The Return Of The Happy Hour Live Stream” from July 18, 2025, where we kicked things off with fresh brews, bold opinions, and plenty of laughs. I’m pouring my favorite cold one, and you're invited to join—virtually—as we reconnect, catch up on beer news, and enjoy electrifying conversation with the extended BeerVentures community.

In this episode, I dive into what’s been brewing in craft beer land—from new releases landing on tap racks to surprising trends in sour beers and hazy IPAs. We also revisit memorable highlights from past live streams, reflect on channel growth since the last live session, and look forward to upcoming collabs and beer adventures. As always, real-time viewer questions and shout-outs kept the energy high. My buddy Todd and Shannon popped in via chat, and we had a blast riffing on local brewery expansions and beer trivia.

Expect a casual, get‑you‑in‑a‑good‑mood vibe: beer tasting notes, fan stories, and the kind of candid chatter that only a live stream (and its replay) can deliver. I also share my vision for new video formats, including deeper brewery visits and themed beer challenges. If you're a longtime BeerVentures Brigade member or tuning in for the first time, this replay is a perfect blend of nostalgia, fresh beer talk, and next-level ideas.

Whether you’re checking in on your commute, chilling at home, or prepping your glass for another pour—thanks for listening. Let’s pick up where we left off and keep the beer and community flowing.
