This week we have some huge craft beer news as historic Anchor Brewing Company is ceasing its operations and liquidating their business. We discuss what this means for the Craft Beer landscape moving forward. Also, this week Brandon isolates some audio from last week’s episode that becomes an all-time unintended ricochet shot on Kristen.

The threesome is back together after a few weeks with someone missing! This week we decided to move away from the comedy just a little bit to discuss an article released by Food & Wine last month (June 2023) regarding the fading interest & prevalence of Trappist Breweries. We also discuss what it means for the future of craft brewing. Brandon's sick & wants everyone to know it while Kristen's busy getting lewd & gross Instagram messages during a recent AMA. They end the episode with a rousing brew songs!

Brandon is out again this week so Nick & Kristen crack the mics to talk new beers hitting the market! First from Founders; a KBS variant with blueberry & then a 5-beer Limited Edition IPA mixed pack from Firestone Walker.  Before the duo covers the news, they hit "What Are You Drinkin?" and Nick shares an annoyance related to parking lot etiquette. During the break, they share a love of something gross, and end the episode with a round of brew songs that's sure to have you laughing.

Brandon sat out this week so Nick & Kristen cracked the mics to talk big news in the craft brewing industry as Skagit Valley Malting out of Burlington, WA closes, seemingly, surprisingly. The duo chats about what it means for craft beer, home brewing, and the industry as whole. They open the episode with a fascinating "What Are You Drinkin'?" where Kristen tries one of Nick's beers in a box he sent last week! The pair close the episode with a round of brew songs that's as entertaining as it is informative.

Kristen and Brandon (No Nick this week) chat it up about the recent news of Funky Buddha being Re-acquired by original owners and what that means for its future, this dovetails nicely to a discussion about the state of Craft Beer in 2023. Show note.. No brew songs this week out of respect for Nick not being able to make the recording.
