ChatGPT is the new lager

Description:

This week on the Beer Engine, Griff and Tony stumble into another hour of beer-soaked banter, featuring everything from crispy bois to questionable adjunct choices. We dive into the ongoing lager renaissance, ask whether cold IPA is a scam, and offer unsolicited advice to macro brewers who’ll never listen.

Also on tap:

• Griff tries not to cry while reviewing another West Coast IPA made with fruit loops.
• Tony explains why pickle seltzers are a war crime.
• The boys react to Untappd reviews like they’re courtroom testimony.
• Plus: a surprise tasting of a beer that may or may not contain actual pastry.

Beer Shouts:

A few brews we cracked during the episode:

• [Brewery Name] – [Beer Name]
• [Brewery Name] – [Beer Name]
• (And something in a can that looked suspiciously like paint thinner.)
