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 stout into a bottle and it becomes a bottle that you can flip for expensive expedition gear. You put it in a teapot, well now you have beer in a teapot and that's weird. Now, beer can flow or it can sit in your linen closet until it's past it's prime and no one cares anymore except for people like Alex. Don't be like water, my friend, and drink your beer.

This year the Malty Boyz™ get the official media kit for the BCBS line up and review the entire horizontal.

The Malty Boyz™ drink perhaps the rarest tick ever when they pop a never released Fantôme homebrew from 1988. Individually hand labeled by Dany Prignon's niece and bottled from a keg this is effectively Fantôme Batch 0. Hear what secrets this ghost has in store for the Boyz. In the Beer News, The Boyz drink Sierra Nevada's Bigfoot aged in E.H. Taylor barrels, complete with minty tube, Lakefront Brewing adds a bit more flair to their brewery, and the latest Miller Lite viral consumable might be a rare swing-and-a-miss for Sofia Colucci.

Due to unforseen CiRcUmStAnCeS, the Malty Boyz™ record this episode in the "dark" because Alex's internet goes out. With no Zoom video to reference, they must record using only the sound of their own not-so-soothing voices. In the Beer News, Selin's Grove says goodbye after 25 years of brewing, a New York brewery raffles off an AR-15, and Arby's releases a smoked bacon bourbon. Alex ticks a Fantome he's been chasing for over a decade followed by another linen closet deep cut for the Bottleshare. Michael continues Ohio beer month. Stephen brings on another barleywine from Virginia but it's not from Aslin this time.

That's right, in an unprecedented event, the Malty Boyz™ coincidently take the low ABV route starting with an non-alcoholic beverage hop infused beverage from Mikerphone. Then it's all light sailing from there with offerings from Sideward Brewing Co., Berryessa Brewing Co., and Ohio. In the Beer News, Modern Times is on the auction block, the Boyz learn about North Carolina obscenity laws, and Miller Lite releases a product that does not have Sofia Colucci's fingerprints on it.

Being courageous means hiking up your prices according to Heineken, who posted record profits in 2021. Meanwhile, local breweries can't price a pilsner for more than $7 without drawing outrage.

Alex brings in a barrel-aged stout collab between 7venth Son Brewery and VooDoo Brewing then showcases a Helles from Dovetail for the Bottleshare, Michael finds an odd brew from 3 Fonteinen, and Stephen tries to romance the boyz with some Christopher Elbow beer.

Alex shares a cripsy hometown hero from Iowa while Stephen presents a double feature.

What zingers will Michael come up with when discussing Topo Chico releasing their hard seltzer in glass bottles? How hard will Michael burn Goose Island when The Malty Boyz™ drink 2013 Bourbon County Barleywine? What comedy will Michael mine out of revealing a deep rooted truth about Stephen’s Bottleshare beer?

The craft beer industry is forced to confront issues it's long overlooked or flat out ignored after head brewer Brienne Allan asked the question “What sexist comments have you experienced?” on her Instagram (@ratmagnet). What followed was thousands of stories from beer industry workers about the sexism, misogyny, and sexual abuse they experience far too regularly, often times on a daily basis. Stories about working in breweries, working with distributors, and dealing with management and regulars in bars and restaurants. Terminations and resignations followed from breweries big and small. We also look at how larger beer entities like the Brewers Association have responded as well as examine how niche craft beer communities such as the Beer Advocate messageboards are reacting.

There's nothing more macro beer than holding a contest where you can win lots of money. This year, the macro beer gods blessed it's drinkers with not one but two such contests.

In other Beer News, Dogfish Head has entered the Wynwood, FL arena and Stone lets fans write in votes for what's included in their 25th anniversary releases. Alex brings in bargain bin Cantillon and a gem of a barleywine from BKS Artisan Ales.

Fresh out the linen closet, it's a special bonus Malt-terrogation with Paul Arney, owner and head brewer of The Ale Apothecary! He gives perhaps the most unique answer to "If money was no issue what's the next piece of non-essential brewing equipment you'd buy?" but for a brewer that uses hollowed out spruce trees as lauter tuns the answer should be that surprising.

Every week Alex labors over writing an elaborate script with jokes and runners and callbacks.

There were adjuncts in any direction, at any release. If not across the Everglades, then up the Pacific Northwest or down the Mighty Mississippi to Decorah or St. Louis... you could strike waxed bottles anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were drinking was right, that we were winning. There they go. Three of Lord Maris' own prototypes. High-powered mutants of some kind never even considered for mass consumption. So now, more than 500 beers later, you can go up on a steep hill in Los Angeles and look West, and with the right kind of buzz you can almost see the high gravity mark - that place where the wort finally broke and rolled back.

The slow pour queen of pilsners, Ashleigh Carter of Bierstadt Lagerhaus, joins the Malty Boyz™ as they record at altitude in Denver during GABF weekend. From glassware to buying and shipping an entire brewery across the Atlantic, they get to the bottom of why Ashleigh's lager game is so strong. Alex brings in a treat from Forager Brewery to offset all the crispiness. Michael and Stephen hit up a local bottleshop in search of malty treasure.
