Listener Chase Smiley loaded us up with Minnesota beers, and Rubio, Grant and Mike drank all of them on this episode. 152 oz of beer, split between 3 people, which easily results in one of our drunkest episodes ever.

Surly Overrated!
Surly Hell
Surly Todd the Axe Man
Fulton 300
Indeed Double Day Tripper

AND there are also TWO Beerists Mini episodes for Patreon Patrons we recorded right after we finished recording the main show:

The Beerists Mini 15 – Odell Pina Agria
We recorded this review of Odell Piña Agria after particularly drunk regular episode recording. It’s rough, but the beer we’re reviewing is worth hearing about.

The Beerists Mini 16 – Westvletreren 12
Completely hammered, Rubio thought it would be a good idea for he, Mike and Grant to review a 3-year-old bottle of what has been long called the best beer in the world. Apologies to the monks.

Listener Kevin Hicks brought us 5 beers from Louisville’s Against the Grain Brewery. Rubio and Anastacia are joined Habeab and Harvey, affectionate lies are told, and things got a bit hairy at Rubio’s birthday party.

It’s hard to believe that Gose might not exist today if it wasm’t ressurected from extinction in the 80s. We try 5 of them on this episode, along with our buddy Habeab.

Destihl Here Gose Nothin’

Barreled beers are everywhere these days. These 5 seem pretty promising, if we don’t black out first that is. Grant is almost a dad again, Anastacia is sweaty, Rubio is 40, and Mike’s bathroom is gross.
