Poop Beer Gate returns with a barrel-aged stout that belongs on rice, Vanessa explains how Alaska breweries track every ounce you drink, and Flex reveals that wedding dancing usually ends with most of his clothes missing. Greg also protects his marriage with a raspberry sour, Costco beer fans prepare for a goodbye, and a trip to DUI probation goes exactly as well as you’d expect. Beers We’re Drinking: Greg is drinking Tarantula Hill Brewing’s Dazzleberry Sour, a light and tart raspberry-blackberry summer beer. Flex is drinking Lion’s Tail Brewing’s Oktoberfest, a crisp, smooth German-style lager worth buying in July. Flex confirms the Fresh Coast is real and admits Lake Michigan brings out his full nature-dork side. Vanessa calls in with Alaska’s strict 36-ounce brewery limit, including bartenders who remember your face even after you leave and try another seat. Poop Beer Gate returns when a listener spends $20 on a barrel-aged stout that tastes like straight soy sauce, prompting an important detour into sushi ginger etiquette. Later, Greg saves his gluten-intolerant sister from pre-gaming a wedding with mini Fireball bottles, while Flex explains that his own wedding routine involves dancing until the jacket, vest, and possibly the shirt are gone. Booze News: Voodoo Ranger Takes Its 11% Tanker Back on Tour. Copper Kettle Crowdfunds Its Brewery Cleanup. Costco and Deschutes Call Last Pour on Kirkland Beer.
