• 0:30
  Speaker 3: We got to shake the can up real hard?

  Speaker 1: I don't think so. It doesn't say anything about it.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: No?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: No, it's not like a Guinness, right? Yeah.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: This is a Day Drifter Nitro Dosed IPA from Harpoon.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Let's see here. The nitrogen is the gimmick, but it's
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: actually doing something. Harpoon uses a combination of nitrogen and
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: CO2 to give it a smoother draft-like mouthfeel while keeping
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the beer light and sessionable. Harpoon describes the hop profile
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: as bright, citrusy, and tropical. It's 4.8% alcohol by volume,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: 25 IBUs. Untapped has a score of 3.65. 3.6 out
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: of 5. Beer Advocate has a score of 85 on it.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's not bad. Look at this.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: It looks delicious. I just want to put it in
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: my mouth. Mazel Mazel, good things.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: We haven't had a normal IPA in a while.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Well, you still haven't. This one's nitro-dosed.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Get that little aftertaste on the ass end of it, though.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: That's pretty good. You like that?
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Pretty damn good.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Real smooth. Well, with 25 IBUs, it should be quite smooth.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I love the color of it. The color is just
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: beautiful looking beer.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: You like that? I can see everything just kind of
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: sitting there.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Do you like that? Do you like that?
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Man, you can just see everything just kind of, the
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: particles all just sitting in there.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Just, oh.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: It's crazy, yeah.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Looks, oh, so, so.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know, the last time I had an IPA
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: that was just kind of like a, oh, this is
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: what we're doing, an IPA.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, we had some IPAs last week.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Did you?
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we did.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Well, we had mangoes and blood oranges and stuff like that. Yeah,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: I guess so.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: And we, we don't typically go too long without having
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: an IPA.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: I guess.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I like IPAs. Do you? I do.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: We were hazy boys for a while.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: You know, which we still have every so often or whatever.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, no, this one, the nitro dose, what does
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: that even do? What's that do to it?
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: It's to give it a more smoother, uh, mouthfeel. Um,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: make it feel a little bit more like it's coming
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: off the tap. Yeah.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I like that. Yeah.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Cause I mean, if you ask people about beer, they
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: always say, well, it's better off the tap.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, I agree to a certain extent, Indian pale ale.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: It says, please, please recycle Puerto Rico.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Don't do not litter. What? It says it on the
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: side of the can.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Harpoon brewery, Boston mass Windsor, Vermont. We just talked about
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: that too.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: We're looking at you, Puerto Rico. Everywhere else is cool,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: but Puerto Rico.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: We're looking at you.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I feel like they have a different country there. They
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: shouldn't be throwing shit in the river. They're like, well,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: don't know where to throw it. It's going in the water.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: All right, cool.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: And then we're sitting there drinking paper straws because, you know.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, it said that on their other one, too. So
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I just want to look because we didn't notice that
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: on the last one, but it says that on the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: The Wanamango, too. Please recycle, Puerto Rico. Do not litter.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: I'm going to get Lizzie in here on one of these. Like, hey, you...
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: What's going on? Hey, Nutsack. You guys just throwing shit
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: in the water?
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: So what's the deal with the littering there? Littering and
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: littering and.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I watched the second one of that last night.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Like, the ass end of it. Okay. Yeah.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I still need to go see three. I hadn't made
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: it yet to go see three.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Is it out? It is. Oh, yeah. I'll catch on streaming.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: I'll catch on streaming.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Two weeks ago.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Two weeks ago. I think so.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Damn. Yeah.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Was that that far off? Yeah. Yeah.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: It's been like two weeks, two weeks.

  Speaker 2: Studio Movie Grill has it at 1039.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: I might go to.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I can't do it because I'm watching a blood
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: moon tonight. So 1045, I got to go out front.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, there's a blood moon tonight.

  Speaker 1: Do I need to grab a blood orange beer and
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: look at the blood orange moon?
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: You can if you want.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Blood moon, not blood orange, just blood.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Is that blood? Absolutely.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like this. It's not bad, but yeah, you
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: got to slow roll these things. When you get back
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: to a traditional IPA or whatever, I don't slam IPAs.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: It's only 4.8%. Well, I know, but I just enjoy
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: them because there's a lot of taste. Even though the
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: bitterness is quite low on this one as well. But
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I like the can, though. The can's cool.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Nice little can. I like cans. Big fan of cans.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Huge, huge can fan. I say I celebrate their entire catalog.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Cans, that is. Yeah, yeah.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: All different shapes and sizes, too. I don't discriminate when
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: it comes to cans. I celebrate them all.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, God. Did you pull up an untapped score on this,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: or did you already say it?
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I already said it.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: What is it?
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: It is a 3.6 out of 5.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: How many check-ins have we got on this thing?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: That I don't have, but I can get.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's part of untapped. Or is it from ChatGPT?
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I get it from ChatGPT.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't believe in the internet, man. It's just
• 6:19
