Batch194: Stone Neverending Haze vs Bell's Light Hearted Ale & Topa Topa Women's Day IPA

March 31, 2020

Cheers and isolation beers, everyone! Sports may be canceled, but it's time for the championships of our 2020 March Madness Healthy Beer Tournament! In the finals, we see the number 2 seed Bell's Light Hearted Ale take on the number 1 Stone Neverending Haze. Who will take the crown?
The crew talks about all the breweries they've hit during the isolation to try and support the local spots as well as stay hydrated. Greg talks about his Instagram Live session with Ally, where they unboxed and tasted the latest offering from Stone. And the gentlemen decompress about the whole situation we find ourselves in.
Ally (@ally.in.cally) joins in to give a review from one of her favorite breweries: Tripping Animals Brewing.
In Sports News: Vin Scully reassures everyone in this crazy time, the Olympics have been rescheduled, Tom Brady moves south, the NBA is determined to have a championship, and Carmelo Anthony is still a narcissist.
Intern Brian drops is to correct Greg about his assumption that you can drink a 0.0 beer while driving.
Our Bullpen Beer comes to us from local (to us) brewery Topa Topa Brewing Co. It's their Pink Boots collaboration Women's Day IPA.
In Booze News: California has allowed the sale of beer and cocktails to go, Deschutes has closed all locations and laid off over 100 employees, and Ball Corp has to step up to meet the demand of all the crowlers being sold.
