Episode Details

Welcome in, craft beer friends. Greg is back at his mid-grade hotel because apparently reliable Wi-Fi requires personal sacrifice, while 14 Cannons trades brewing equipment for pool tables and inspires a questionable business plan involving billiards and strippers. The final gross beer origin story brings vaginal bacteria into the brewery, which immediately gives "from the tap" a whole new meaning. Then Greg and Flex remember the pungent glory of BOD body spray before imagining Belgian cops going full Scrooge McDuck with $10 million in brewery gold.

Beers We're Drinking:

1. Flex is drinking Bitrate Fluctuation from Equilibrium Brewery and WeldWerks, an 8.5% double IPA that's six months old, dangerously drinkable, and good enough to earn a four-pack commitment.
2. Greg is drinking 7th Inning Stretch from Trademark Brewing, a 7% West Coast IPA that's light, dry, easy-drinking, and hiding peel-off baseball card stickers on the can.

Greg continues the world's worst camping trip, choosing the same mid-grade hotel every recording night strictly because the Wi-Fi doesn't suck. Then comes the apparent transformation of 14 Cannons, where brewing equipment made way for pool tables and Flex learns his instinct to keep beer at a brewery is apparently why he'll never be a businessman. Scott's gross origin story series reaches its grand finale with a Polish beer made using cultured vaginal bacteria, prompting immediate questions about sourcing, board meetings, and drinking it "from the tap." That jogs loose memories of BOD body spray. The $10 million brewery gold discovery also has Greg and Flex picturing cops swimming through the evidence like Scrooge McDuck, while a Delaware driver's revenge on a pub earns the simple strategy of, "You kick me out, I kick you in."
