It's the end of July, so that means it's Oktoberfest season. But David isn't ready to drink one just yet, so he drinks Urban Roots Nothing is Certain, which he got from our new sponsor Beer Drop. Gary breaks out the Old Forester 86.

Urban Roots Nothing is Certain is a black lager with an ominous can. It pours dark as night, and has a nice roasty backbone with a smooth finish.

We also chat about one of our favorite stories of the year: Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout variants are announced. We are a little underwhelmed with the offerings this year - maybe it's a down year after they went all out for the 30th anniversary last year?

We also chat about craft beer declining in the first half of 2024 and why that may be, and Larceny gets a rebrand.

• Goose Island announces 2024 Bourbon County Stout variants
• Craft beer declines in first half of 2024
• Heaven Hill Revamps Larceny Packaging, Launches Campaign Inspired by the Mischievous Antics of a Bourbon Legend
