Joining him are his co-hosts, comedy writers and performers Stephen Loh and Michael Gabriel. Together they explore the absurd underbelly of the craft beer world while also discussing movies, music, video games, pop culture, and their sad, basement dwelling lives.

Batch 234: Don't Be Like Water

Malt Couture ·

2023/03/09

Don't be like water making its way onto endcaps. Do be assertive, but adjust to the customer's preferences, and you shall find a way onto shelves and into tap lines. If nothing within you stays hazy, outward things will disclose themselves to be bottom fermented. Empty your mind, be untradeable. Overabundant, like water (unless you live in California then, please, conserve water). If you put water into a cup, it becomes a marketing campaign that you get sued by AB InBev for. You put a barrel-aged
