In this laid-back return episode of A Trip to the Beer Store, we catch up after a long hiatus brought on by work travel and life on the move. We share stories from the road, talk about what pulled us away from the mic, and what it feels like to finally be back.
Of course, it wouldn’t be the show without trying something new, so we crack open a fresh beer and give our honest, unfiltered thoughts. From first sip to final verdict, nothing’s off-limits.
To round things out, we dive into a fun (and slightly ridiculous) debate: if we were in a food-eating contest, what would we absolutely dominate? From comfort foods to wild picks, we make our cases and challenge each other’s appetites.
It’s a mix of catching up, cracking beers, and classic banter—just like you remember.

This week’s ride to the beer store goes off the rails in the best possible way.

A dog. A truck. A shotgun that should not have gone off and yet here we are, laughing about it anyway while questioning how reality is still holding together.

We crack open new beers from Washington like we’re negotiating peace treaties with hops and carbonation, debate what it actually means to meet your heroes without ruining them, and unpack travel stories that feel one bad turn away from legend or disaster.

Somewhere between “lanes travels” and existential chaos, we spiral into the two questions nobody asks sober enough to answer properly:
What’s the best way the world ends… and what’s the absolute worst way it could?

It’s messy. It’s loud. It’s half philosophy, half poor decisions in a parking lot.

And somehow, you’re coming with us.

This week on A Trip to the Beer Store, the guys crack open a brand new beer for review, test their knowledge in a chaotic round of Beerpardy, and dive into the incredible story of a school principal who became a real life hero by wrestling a gunman to the ground and potentially saving countless lives.

As always, the conversation takes plenty of unexpected detours, mixing laughs, questionable facts, cold beer, and the kind of random nonsense that somehow keeps everyone listening. Whether you’re here for the craft beer reviews, the trivia battles, or just a group of friends talking about whatever pops into their heads, this episode has a little bit of everything.

Grab a cold one, play along with Beerpardy, and join us for another trip to the beer store. 🍻
