• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Man, it's uh, it's something to I can't wait to
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: put this in my mouth.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: It does funny things in my pants.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: It smells so good looking get hazy every so often.

• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, because that's typically when you talk about
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: tropical fruits. That's what you're talking about. When you're talking
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: about citrus. You're going more along lines of the orange
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: and the grapefruit right right right, So tangerine, that's just
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: science right there. I can't argue with science.
• 2:35

• 2:56
  Speaker 1: in from Mississippi because we like to break up the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: trip right three hours ago. I mean actually rain like

• 7:20
  Speaker 1: friendly staff, and the beers were really good. I didn't
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: have one bad beer actually, so okay, that's cool. Went

  Speaker 1: multiple times, you know what I mean. I was like,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the thing was, I stayed in Orange Beach and this
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: is in Gulf Short so it's about about ten minutes
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: that not really And the cool thing about down there
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: is it's not like when you go to like Deston
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: or something like that. It's just packed. You packed in
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: there like sardies no matter where you go, right, And
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: it seemed like down there in Alabama, it's just kind
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: of there was a lot of space for it, but
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: everybody kind of spread out a little bit. Okay, you know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: he had a room. Yeah, but Good Brewery liked it
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: a lot, so I was like, I gotta get me
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: a beer. It was like, you're just gonna go on.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna get one. It's like I get a
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: bunch of Maybe we'll come back about it.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: I will do that from time to time.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Just get one. I can't get every beer from every place.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: You can't, right, I mean I can't. You know.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it's usually like a four pack, maybe a six
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: pack if if I can get like individuals, right, it
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: just depends on how they sell the beers and what
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: the cost is.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Could you go to Sumberas and they're like, oh, yeah, no,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I can sell you individuals at nine bucks a pop.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: And you're just like good.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much that was. They were like,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I go, how much are you going to go beer?
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: She goes, it just depends. I it depends on what.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: But she's like, well, it's like usually a dollar or
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: two more than what it is for a regular court
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: on tap. Yeah. And I was like, well, that's pretty
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: good deal considering this is like a twenty five ounce,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: so you get ten x rounces from a dollar more.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Two dogs one and it wasn't that much. It plus
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: not a real big add the didn't have a lot of.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Did they have these ones already pre canned?
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah? It was so there to go. Beer is right
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: next to the door, so you can just grabe it
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: run out the door. Okay.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Well, because I know someber like especially like cans like this,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: sometimes they'll okay, right, they'll can it right there.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: You're like, hey, I would like to get this on tap,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: like okay, and they do that.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: One of the breweries we went to, actually I don't
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: know where that beer is. I got to find it
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: because I did grab a beer from one in Mississippi
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and uh, oh no, it's a four pack. Okay, we
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: got one of those. We gotta go through that too,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: But yeah, like six packs and four packs or whatever.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I did ask one place that was like we went
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to for some reason. I was like, uh, you know,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: can a beer for me or whatever? Like, no, you gotta,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: we already got everything over there. It's like, oh, okay,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know whatever, but anyways, this
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: thing is delicious. It's pretty chad, dude, and it's not great.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I think it's right in a wheelhouse. It's six point
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: six six, six to eight I think it's good for hazes,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: right right, yeah, but I don't think they go above
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: seven a whole lot unless they start getting to Is
• 9:38
