Fall beer season has officially arrived, and we're celebrating with a deep dive into two exceptional seasonal brews that captured our attention. The Bent Run Amber Ale from Warren, PA packs a perfect balance of toffee notes and drinkability at 5.8% ABV, while Shiner's Oktoberfest delivers a surprisingly smooth experience that challenges our usual preference for pumpkin beers.

Rick takes us on a culinary adventure, recounting his camping experiment with hot honey garlic scallops and ramen on a Blackstone griddle. Despite the challenges of finding proper sea scallop medallions and the patience required to steam ramen outdoors, the result was worth every minute. This cooking tale transitions naturally into discussions about the joys of fall camping and the approaching leaf season, which forecasters predict will arrive early this year.

The conversation wanders into hilarious territory during "Ricky's Bad Choices" segment, where road trip adventures and hypothetical scenarios have us in stitches. We debate the merits of various brewing techniques, smartphone etiquette in public restrooms (spoiler alert: never put your phone on a bathroom floor), and plans to explore dispersed camping sites near the Allegheny Mountains. 

Whether you're team Oktoberfest or team Pumpkin, this episode captures that magical feeling of embracing seasonal flavors while enjoying cooler temperatures. Join us next week as we continue our journey through fall's finest brews and maybe even sample some of the pumpkin offerings that are starting to appear on shelves everywhere.
