We fuel up with our Beer of the Week: the legendary Tropicália from Creature Comforts Brewing Co. This 6.6% balanced, soft, and juicy IPA washes over the palate with passion fruit and citrus. It's an absolute classic—so good that even Thor drinks it in the Marvel movies! - Chant (Burial Beer Co): High school cheerleaders find an ancient spell book in the woods and incorporate the cursed chants into their Friday night routines. Soon, the whole town is mind-controlled, and the only hope to save them…
