Description:
This week on the Beer Engine, Griff and Tony stumble into another hour of beer-soaked banter, featuring everything from crispy bois to questionable adjunct choices. We dive into the ongoing lager renaissance, ask whether cold IPA is a scam, and offer unsolicited advice to macro brewers who’ll never listen.
Also on tap:
- Griff tries not to cry while reviewing another West Coast IPA made with fruit loops.
- Tony explains why pickle seltzers are a war crime.
- The boys react to Untappd reviews like they’re courtroom testimony.
- Plus: a surprise tasting of a beer that may or may not contain actual pastry.
Beer Shouts:
A few brews we cracked during the episode:
- [Brewery Name] – [Beer Name]
- [Brewery Name] – [Beer Name]
- (And something in a can that looked suspiciously like paint thinner.)

What is The Beer Engine?
Every bar worth its salt has its regulars. Cheers had Cliff and Norm, Moe's had Barney and Homer and Lenny and Carl and the guy with the hat and the green vest and that one balding guy (?). Barstool Sports has that maniac who rates pizza and goes on alt-right tirades. Hey, but what if the regulars came to you and maybe the conversations were recorded? Maybe they talked about their beers, and they might have unusual hobbies or know too much about buying beer on the internet. Tony and Griff are the regulars at the bar chatting over a few cold ones about beer, or whatever else is going on. Belly up, crack open a Hamm's and feel free to eavesdrop on what these two drunks are going on about today.
