It’s that time of year again and The HOP is back with a brand new episode! Despite not feeling too patriotic this year, the boys are commemorating the holiday the only way they know how . . . by drinking classic, American beers. First, we’ll swing by Kentucky for an obligatory shot of bourbon whiskey. Then, it’s up to New England for one of Gabe’s very favorite options, a go-to lager named for an American statesman that’s been on the market since the mid-1980’s. Finally, we head out west for a stop at 21st Amendment Brewing, a company named for the constitutional amendment that made it possible for our show to exist.

Featured beers: Samuel Adams Boston Lager & 21st Amendment Brew Free or Die IPA, (West Coast and Blood Orange.) Plus: Sapporo purchases Stone Brewing, and an Australian mechanic sets a new Guinness World Record!
