Listener Justin Frick paid us a visit last week and brought a suitcase full of beer with him. We try 5 on this episode, Mike reads Grant’s jokes thanking new Patreon Patrons, and Anastacia is obsessed with baskets.

Before we get to reviewing 5 delightfully hoppy beers, Rubio springs a POP QUIZ on his unsuspecting co-hosts. And they pick out Sierra Nevada in a blind taste test? Grant has some bones to pick about the last episode, and Anastacia gets a 3-faced baby.

Note: This was released to our Patreon-exclusive feed a few days ago, and I was asked by a few Patrons to make this one available for the rest of our audience.
