| Batch 276: The Malty Boyz™ Get In Line | 05 Dec 2024 | 01:52:23 | |
You think waiting in line for hours and hours is your ally. But you merely adopted line culture, The Malty Boyz™ were born in it, molded by it over the course of 276 episodes. They didn't think to hire proxies or ignoring the hype until they were men, by then it was nothing to them but another day with grandma waiting for Celly Drippins, grand opening Costco bourbon, and rare whiskey allotments in Ohio. Alex and Stephen talk a lot about line culture and Stephen tastes Celly Drippins in the Beer News before putting four NA beers through the Power Ranking treatment.

| Batch 153: Year Of The Ratmagnet | 03 Jun 2021 | 01:49:42 | |
The craft beer industry is forced to confront issues it's long overlooked or flat out ignored after head brewer Brienne Allan asked the question “What sexist comments have you experienced?” on her Instagram (@ratmagnet). What followed was thousands of stories from beer industry workers about the sexism, misogyny, and sexual abuse they experience far too regularly, often times on a daily basis. Stories about working in breweries, working with distributors, and dealing with management and regulars in bars and restaurants. Terminations and resignations followed from breweries big and small. We also look at how larger beer entities like the Brewers Association have responded as well as examine how niche craft beer communities such as the Beer Advocate messageboards are reacting.
