251: The Enmilkening

Alfred Hitchcock's silhouette looms as we get into beer brags. Michael has a limited run peanut butter stout, which was most superb. Jeremy has a Berliner Weiss that tickled his fancy. Going from beer, we make an abrupt turn into the AI Dungeon, which throws a few abrupt turns back at us. Join Ser Gumbel as he faces the dragon,  gamblers, and his own family. With that nonsense out of the way, we get into the FDR, where we spray a tanker truck full of milk stout into the wrestling ring.

250: Pre-Antebellum Brewing

An ad-hoc intro leads to some B-level band talk. Like that band that sang about a chair in the room... or something? Did that lead singer die? For beer brags, Michael celebrates with a Celebrator and Jeremy Keeps 'er Movin'. Jeremy has the inside track on Bud Light Seltzer. Prepare to be inundated. Michael then puts a halt on the interesting topic in order to bring back the Painstakingly Detailed Oblivion Recap, where we learn Jeremy liberated Krotch. Finally, we get into the FDR, where we awaken an ancient one to see if it is still a contender.

249: New Year New Newcastle

Welcome to IL Dope Boyz. Before that though, beer brags. Jeremy has a bevy of brews in Wisconsin, noting one from Ale Asylum. Michael has a little uzi vert ical "flight" of Yule from Boom Island. We then talk about the legalization of recreational cannabis in Illinois, using our crystal ball to predict its future and impact on beer. Finally, it is time for the FDR, where we have a brew that was previously sampled on the show about two years ago. However, things have changed, and that might make all the difference. Did they "Poochie" the beer?!

248: Baby New Year Cosplay

Michael has an Oddball beer, which was supposed to equate to a regular brew, but turns out to be odd anyway. Researcher Jeremy puts his thoughts on Backpocket Brewing to the test and comes out with significant results, rejecting the null hypothesis. Meanwhile, it turns out that England is no country for hard seltzer. Then, the FDR. We throw down a foamy brew, but we probably botched it, leading to some wanginess.
