This beer podcast is illegal in 15 states

Beer Guys Radio Craft Beer Podcast

Would you pay $250 for 25 ounces of beer?
It's once again time for the semi-annual release of Sam Adams Utopias and with that, the slew of websites touting that it is illegal in 15 states. Technically a beer, but drinks more like a spirit, and hits a hefty 28%. Have you tried it? What did you think?
Along with Utopias we recently saw the annual release of Bruery's Black Tuesday and Founders teased the return of their CBS (that's Canadian Breakfast Stout). We talked with Founders Brewmaster Jeremy Kosmicki about these big beers back in 2019.
What's the deal with beer fests?
Beer fests are a hot topic these days, too. People are divided on whether they're still cool, if they ever were, or if it's just a huge group of nerds getting drunk. We like beer fests. Well, some beer fests.
NA beer and bacterial growth, a bit of pee in your TsingTao, Alcohol and Loose Morals
A recent report says NA beer is a "breeding ground" for bacteria. We get the point they're making, but the headlines make it sounds a bit more scarier than we think it actually is.
An employee was caught on camera urinating into some malt at a TsingTao brewery in China. The brewery said they have secured the malt. They didn't say they tossed it, just that they secured it.
A study shows "one drink" of just 7 oz of spirits can impact your moral compass and have you dancing nude on stage at concerts BUT your loyalty won't waiver. Alrighty then.
