Description:

This week on the Beer Engine, Griff and Tony stumble into another hour of beer-soaked banter, featuring everything from crispy bois to questionable adjunct choices. We dive into the ongoing lager renaissance, ask whether cold IPA is a scam, and offer unsolicited advice to macro brewers who’ll never listen.

Also on tap:

• Griff tries not to cry while reviewing another West Coast IPA made with fruit loops.
• Tony explains why pickle seltzers are a war crime.
• The boys react to Untappd reviews like they’re courtroom testimony.
• Plus: a surprise tasting of a beer that may or may not contain actual pastry.

Beer Shouts:

A few brews we cracked during the episode:

• [Brewery Name] – [Beer Name]
• [Brewery Name] – [Beer Name]
• (And something in a can that looked suspiciously like paint thinner.)

Dare I say, some of our best beer conversation and the most psychotic pizza group posts combined in a single episode ever?? Maybe, but it leads off with some of America and Australia’s favorite NBA, AFL, AF1 and Colorado politics conversation. Tony finally has some success in a game which was a real Caribou Slobber Knocker. I’m dreading leaving this room because I just know that SOMEONE is watching the show about Mormon Wives that drink 10 “Dirty Dr. Peppers” a day then go swing. It’s propaganda everyone! Don’t watch it!

In Germany the Subway bread is GOOD. Griff is back from a long break and the guys are running through the important info for beer drinkers that follow the “Great Griff Trail.” Hey, check out the slideshow on the Discord!! Kolsch, Orvals, lambics, $25 stout, it’s all covered here. It’s the beer-lovers fantasy - “yeah sure, I can have the best beers in the world for $5 but screw that! I want to pay MORE for SUGAR. Also, the real Pizza Pope has come to power and is controlling our lives. That’s good enough for today, hey, I gotta keep going to work ova heah!!!
