Ever had a beer that isn’t great but gets the job done? That’s a Harbor Freight beer. Zack is making his big return as we talk about hype breweries, the Florida beer scene, ChatGPT recipes, St. Patrick’s Day beer sales, and drunk recipe books.

We’re drinking Sorath, a Czech-style Dark Lager from Magnanimous Brewing in Tampa, FL, thanks to Zack.

Are we all tired of the awful hype breweries? Seems like it. Zack talks about his trip to Florida, where he did some major beer research and returned with some unique snacks. Greg talked about his Florida trip that involved way too much awful beer, and we talked about the old days of getting drunk on crap beer. Greg talks about getting clear, hazy IPAs and how annoying it is. And we have a live show coming up soon!

Chew Your Beer calls in to prove he’s okay and hasn’t disappeared.

New Belgium Brewing is acquiring a Constellation production facility. It turns out we got something wrong about Cold IPAs. Diageo is closing its Guinness brewery in Maryland. Saint Patrick’s Day beer sales were a bit disappointing this year, and we all need to step it up! Virginia retailers must separate alcoholic versions of non-alcoholic brands. And the New Zealand Fire Department has released a cookbook for drunk and high people.
