    It's that time of year, that time for crappy beer. It's in the fridge, it might be old, but it's right here. Let the BRJ boys and Stromie help you through some of the choices you'll be faced in this battle of the Macro beer stars.Warning: This one starts with cursing, and doesn't get any cleaner as it goes. In fact, it's arguably the horniest Thanksgiving episode since that one the Waltons did.

    Uncle Travelin' Matt comes back from New Hampshire with beers...from New Hampshire! That's right, for the first time in BRJ history, Matt brings back beer from the place he was in. From Meredith, NH it's Twin Barns Brewery's Palmer Town NEIPA, and from Stoneface's IPA from Newington, NH. Both beers he found in a supermarket. Lesson learned: World class beer can be as close as a gas station. Also we talk a lot about the Bills. It's almost preseason, so the second half of the show is a lot of sports talk. But also logistical stuff about going to games? It's fun. You know how we do it.

Blue wants to call it the Box of Farts, but we run a classier establishment than that. It's Cold Hearted, Two Hearted, Light Hearted and Black Hearted. All definitely worth drinking.
