Summary

Alex sources a line-up of four mostly from Colorado West Coast IPAs that have never been featured on the show to see who reigns supreme in the Centennial State! Alex also gives an update about Facebook drama after the Barleywine is Life group gets deleted. In the Beer News, Stephen and Alex try to Blue Moon lip balm, the famed PH1 barrel is now full of Off Color beer as John Laffler reveals what's gestating inside everyone's favorite barrel, New Belgium releases a set of Malort IPAs but the gimmick raises some red flags, mostly stolen valor, and William H. Macy does a whiskey collab that no one asked for.
