​This week we welcome Danny aka Hip Hops to his Malting Hour hosting duties. To kick off his first show, Dan has hand selected three local lagers from Metropolitan, Dovetail and Goldfinger for us to sip on and discuss.

​This week we sit down sip on the one and only Utopias Barrel-Aged World Wide Stout from Dogfish Head.

"Chock full of intricate aromas and warming flavors, Sam Adams Utopias is a unique blend of aged ales dating back more than 25 years – the perfect complement to an already complex World Wide Stout. And thanks to a shipment of freshly emptied Utopias barrels from our friends at Sam Adams, we were able to see just how well these two beloved brews would mingle. After sitting in the barrels for a full year, Utopias Barrel-Aged World Wide Stout was born."

​This week we bring you part one of our three part series titled: "Build Your Own Media Kit 2021".
While we didn't get a media kit to preview the 2021 lineup, we managed to grab every variant and we're going to review them all for you. You're welcome.
On part one we drink and review:
Bourbon County Brand Stout 2021
Bourbon County Brand Classic Cola Stout
Bourbon County Brand Blanton's Stout
Editors note: During the episode we said there wasn't a coffee variant last year and there was. Special #4 was the 2020 variant with coffee.

This season of After The Final Pour kicks off with Hop Butcher For THe World's "Minted". A holiday Imperial Stout Brewed with Chocolate & Frango Mint Oil. A collaboration with Garrett Brands/Frango Mints.

This week we stay in the neighborhood and visit one of our favorite local breweries, Old Irving Brewing. An early morning visit on Monday, we sat down with Trevor Rose-Hamblin (co-founder and headbrewer) and Maatther Moldenhauer (sales director and social media guru) to discuss the history of our local brewery.
