Cheers, and Midwest beers! Zack from Indiana is back, and we’re talking about his new beer job, fresh hops, holiday decorations, getting iced, the return of expensive beer, and scooting while intoxicated. 

-

Greg is drinking the 2023 Celebration fresh hop IPA from Sierra Nevada. Zack is sipping on Unsessionable IPA from Revolution Brewing in Chicago. Flex is reviewing Rocket Rodeo from Dream State Brewing in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

-

While drinking a holiday beer, the guys discuss the proper time to put up holiday décor. Do they go up before or after Thanksgiving? Zack fills us in about his new gig at Revolution Brewing! We also talked about his new ride and vanity license plate. What’s the best vanity plate you’ve come across? And talk about why good VHS tapes are so hard to find. We also talk about revenge-icing people and whether the person needs to see or touch the bottle. What are your rules?

-

Oskar Blues suddenly closes their Austin taproom. Sam Adams is bringing back Utopias for 2023, but how much is it this year? Dry Dock Brewing is moving its production to Great Divide. The Teamsters, who deliver the beer, have paused negotiations with AB InBev. And a man gets a DUI after hitting people…on his e-scooter. 

-

Shoutout to Council Bluffs, IA, for being our top listening city of last week.
