Who's Actually Winning?

About this episode

The episode explores the current state of the beer industry and the ongoing battle between commodity and art.

In a world that's full of "Pickle PBR" and $3 Pints of beer. Where commodity and art are battling daily, and the industry is getting its butt kicked all over. Where breweries are restaurants, wineries are tearing out their grape vines, booze comes in a little plastic ball... It's worth asking ourselves: Who's actually winning at the end of the day? I don't know that we come to a conclusion in this week's episode, but we do drink some rum and a West Coast IPA from Birdfish. That's a plus!
