Matty and Noah are alone once again, ready to tackle a particularly long list of topics. First and foremost - SHIRTS ARE IN!!! They're honestly sicker than expected, resulting from the exponential power of multiple former guests, and are the best way to support the podcast with a lil' panache. Next, the guys provide an update on the rating war with John Hill, tease Noah's Steal This Beer appearance, and also talk about COVID-19 finally making its way to Milo, Maine and how it led the brewery to stay closed for the peak sales of 4th of July weekend. Closing stung extra, as it prevented Matty and BBB3R from selling the brewery's annual lime lager and answer to Bud Light Lime, Dangol (pronounced "DANG - OL'"). After conducting the podcasts first (and maybe last) blind-tasting ever, Matt grills Noah on Dangol's interesting and multifaceted origin story, how it has evolved, and the ins and outs of where the recipe and concept stands this year. Noah gets specific on corn and ingredient sourcing and how and how many limes are processed for the beer each year, and also laments the disappearance of a very niche tool that has made the beer possible every year. Plenty to chew on here, so let your thoughts be heard by leaving a review on Apple, DMing @GrainingInPod on Instagram, or even buying a particular item of incredibly hip and cool clothing that will make all your pals say, "NEAT-O, friend-o!" ............................................................................................................Music: "Mountain Climb" by Jake Hill

Recorded in Framingham, we talk with Matthew Steinberg, founding brewer/owner of Exhibit 'A'. Matt boasts over two decades in the brewing industry, and geeks out hard with the guys on his history in the New England scene, from his time at Harpoon, Mayflower, and Rapscallion. That opens itself up to some really interesting broader conversation on the nature of both ownership and mentorship, with three very different perspectives and paths into beer sitting at the same table. Noah wasn't going to leave the table without talking about Exhibit 'A's acclaimed Kolsch - Goody Two Shoes - which promptly steers the podcast towards talking (a lot) about the oft-forgotten hero of beer, grain, as well as pros and cons of narcissistic naming tendencies, all things rye, and even tires. Undoubtedly one of the most wide-ranging and enjoyable conversations we've had yet. Music: "Mountain Climb" by Jake Hill
