Summer is heating up in Western New York! Brian is back from his Disney excursion just in time to join Scott for a fresh mid-June beer breakdown. Scott is fighting through pure show-week exhaustion with a Beer Tree Checking Pils, while Brian cracks an ultra-fresh Beer Tree Any Day's Haze in his brand-new proper glassware.

"Don't Panic," Scott—you and Brian are finally back together on the same screen, even if you had to pour an 8% double IPA right over a 3,000-dollar Mac to celebrate! Reunited and it feels so good. Brian, hope the Disney withdrawals aren't hitting too hard; a fresh glass and a Dark Czech Lager from First Line is a solid way to ease back into reality.

Here are the streamlined show notes for your Acast feed, formatted exactly like previous weeks for maximum scannability.

Reunited, Canalside Shuttles, and Milestone Anniversaries

The band is officially back together! After a few weeks of solo flights, Scott (WNY Brews) and Brian (Buffalo Beer League) are reunited on screen to tackle a massive lineup of summer kickoffs, free transit loops, and heavy-hitting anniversary releases.

WATCH ON YOUTUBE: See Brian successfully use a real glass and watch Scott evaluate a five-month-old Industrial Arts collab in full video:
