Dark Lord Goes Retail, AI Drama, and Beer Science

Send us Fan Mail This week on Beer Guys Radio, we're talking rare beer, artificial intelligence, home distilling, and a little science. Plus, we've got some Halloween beer recommendations and one seriously unusual beer-related competition. 3 Floyds Dark Lord is hitting retail shelves! The legendary imperial stout has long been associated with Dark Lord Day, but now it's getting its first retail release. We talk about what this means for one of craft beer's most infamous beers and whether the hype is still alive. Brian shares his Halloween beer shopping list, because spooky season deserves more than pumpkin spice. Then we dive into some AI drama involving podcasting and brewery marketing. Is artificial intelligence making things easier, or just making everything a little weirder? On the legal front, the Supreme Court is hearing a case involving home distilling, and the Brews to Barns Act has been introduced in the House. We dig into what these developments could mean for hobbyists, brewers, and farmers. We've also got some beer science to discuss. Researchers are looking at how beer affects the oral microbiome. Could your favorite beverage be changing the bacteria in your mouth? Finally, we head to Slovakia for the Sherpa Rallye, an unusual competition that proves beer can inspire some pretty wild adventures. Grab a beer and hang out with us. Cheers!
