Battle of the Hazy IPA's

Send us a text

Summertime adventures and ice-cold hazy IPAs collide in this long-awaited return episode where Rick and Princess catch listeners up on their whirlwind summer travels. From a beautiful mountain wedding in North Carolina's Nantahala National Forest (complete with bourbon and cigar bar) to death-defying tubing escapades that sent bodies flying four feet into the air, every story brings the laughs you've been missing.

The pair recount their white water rafting experience down the frigid Nantahala River in open kayaks—a decision that led to Rick's memorable description of what happens when 55-degree water hits sensitive body parts. You'll feel like you're right alongside them as they navigate Class 3 rapids and the shock of ice-cold mountain water with nothing but paddle power and questionable decision-making skills.

The episode features the ultimate "Battle of the Hazies" as two distinguished IPAs face off for supremacy. Boojum's Blue Ridge Haze from Waynesville, NC brings fruity notes and minimal bitterness to the competition, but can it stand against the surprisingly smooth Double Dry Hopped "Fast Friends" from Derive Brewing in Columbus? The shocking unanimous verdict might have you seeking out these brews for yourself.

Between tales of their annual White Rock river trip (where they made the rookie mistake of drinking all their alcohol on night one) and golf course psychological warfare, Rick and Princess deliver the perfect blend of summer adventures and beer appreciation that will leave you laughing and thirsty for more.
