A double hazy IPA with an 80s-pink can shouldn’t be this smooth, but Grimm Artisanal Ales’ Lambo Door (Brooklyn, New York) has us drinking fast and talking even faster. We get into real craft beer tasting notes, why an 8% ABV can still feel dangerously easy, and the truth about paying close to $18 for a four-pack. Then we take a detour through the everyday stuff that somehow always turns into a bigger rant, including gas prices that jump overnight and the feeling that none of it makes sense.
Food shows up like it always does, because beer pairing is a lifestyle. We break down a killer gumbo dinner and talk about what changes when you cook it camping-style in a Dutch oven over an open fire. After that, we share a Blackstone griddle idea that’s basically built for parties: candied peaches caramelized with butter, brown sugar, and hot honey, layered onto a bruschetta-style bite with pesto, fresh mozzarella, cured ham, jalapeño, and basil from the garden. Sweet, salty, spicy, and ready for your next backyard hang.
After the break, we crack Toppling Goliath Brewing Company Caramel Apple Fandango, a fruited sour that drinks like a caramel apple dessert. We debate the finish, rate it honestly, and talk fall beer season strategy, including when to start the pumpkin beers and whether Oktoberfest brews deserve more love. Somewhere in the middle we also play would you rather, attempt “beer math,” and close out with golf plans and NFL preseason hype. Subscribe, share this with your drinking buddy, and leave a review with your pick: hazy IPA or caramel apple sour?

SPEAKER_02I can't do that.
SPEAKER_01So hey, DR's in the house. Here we go. You know why it's got me in this 80s slippity slap?
SPEAKER_02Stick it where it don't go.
SPEAKER_01Bring a hog in and smack it on the ass.
SPEAKER_02All right.
SPEAKER_01So this is called Lambo Door. Double IPA. And it's kind of cool because it's kind of like a car and it's all pink, hide like 80s looking.
SPEAKER_02The can't even have a whole lot of words on the back of it. And I can't see a fucking one.
SPEAKER_01But let me tell you, if you can look at on uh YouTube, you'll see all the awards. There's like four wards on the side, so it's exciting. I'm gonna go it's out of New York, it's out of New York Imperial, double hazy, IPA, New England, New England style. Yeah, they make this hard for me. Why is that so hard for you? I don't understand. I don't want to hurt my fingers.
SPEAKER_02Evidently, you're not hippity hoppy.
SPEAKER_01I got lady fingers.
SPEAKER_02You would you would think your your fingers, your fingertips would be a lot more with all that typing you do.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I can I can I can hurt you with the punch there, you know? Yeah, like ooh, delete, delete, delete, delete, fired, fired, fired. Hey, actually, that's pretty good. The first hit.
SPEAKER_02Ooh. I like it. That is really good. It is good. Now it is an eight percenter. I don't know if you said that. No, I didn't. Uh uh, yeah. That's actually for an eight percenter, dude. That's fucking really good. That's good. That's a really good. Now, we'll just throw this out there right now, though. I mean, for a four-pack, it was $17.99. Yeah. You know, a little pricey.
SPEAKER_01A little pricey, but they're 16 ounce, though, aren't they?
SPEAKER_02They are 16 ounce, and you drank 16.8 percenters. 16 ounce or four eight percenters. You're not getting in that lamb.
SPEAKER_01Yeah,
The $20 Four-Pack Reality
SPEAKER_01you ain't gonna have to worry about it tomorrow. No, no, you're like, where'd that $20 go? Yeah, make a high gas tank, what yeah, gas prices. You know, I'm just gonna say I won't stay on gas price long, but one day I was traveling to work and I said, Oh, $378, I'll get it on the way home. I came home $449. I was like, how did it jump that quick?
SPEAKER_02I don't I try not to even look at gas prices anymore because it doesn't matter. Yeah, you got you're gonna you're gonna do it. You have to pay for it anyways. But yeah, I've realized that for some reason where I work and out here, which is a 40-mile difference, we're cheaper out here, and they're right on 90. Which is yeah, which uh doesn't make any sense. So anybody saying that, well, it's cheaper because you know they're closer to the freeway, they don't have to drive as far. They're full of shit.
SPEAKER_01Yes, full of shit. Even my way, it's expensive, it's the same as what it is up at your work. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02It's absolutely ridiculous.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but I'll get off of that because that's that's out of your baby. Yeah, it's a bad fucking and yeah, but I just don't know how it goes up in one day like that, you know.
SPEAKER_02Well, no, especially because and I brought this up on the show before. The one guy pointed out, he goes, It's not like they got a new delivery of gas. That morning. Right. Everybody in the area, like I can understand it going up if you get a new delivery of gas because they had to pay for it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02But it no, you're you're charging the same gas, same, it's the same gas as yesterday.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02That you just now are all of a sudden paying. That's why they trickle down slowly.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's bullshit.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, whatever.
SPEAKER_01It is bullshit.
Gumbo Night And Campfire Roux
SPEAKER_01Whatever. Anyways, what you do this past week? Oh, wait, before we get in that, we had a good meal tonight. We had some gumbo. Some gumbo. Delicious gumbo. And it it really was presentation, it was nice. It had scallop, shrimp, okra, sausage, chip, uh, chicken, chicken thighs. Yep. And it was good flavor, a little bit of heat to it, but it was really, really good. Now, Rick does this when he does camping.
SPEAKER_02I do. Yeah. I'll do the open uh in a Dutch oven oven on the open fire. And and and it it kind of turns into more of a jambalaya instead of a gumbo. Yeah. Because the rice it maybe it could just be because of my rice ratio that I end up dumping in there. Yeah. Uh but it takes over the same flavor. Yeah, I mean, it's basically the same exact flavor.
SPEAKER_01This one might have more rice than the other.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah. And just uh the gumbo has a little more liquid.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it was it was very good.
SPEAKER_02It it's it's a lot rougher to make it over an open fire.
SPEAKER_01Because of the roux, right?
SPEAKER_02The roux, the just your inconsistency of heat over an open fire. You gotta keep you it like you, you know what I mean? You gotta pull it off, you gotta mix it up, whatever. You know, you cook all your uh meats pre-hand in the same pot so that way you can stir all them goodness up in it. Up in it, all up in it. All up, you gotta get that goodness up in it. Goodness up in it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, just the way she likes it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, so I mean it's it's definitely a lot rougher. Uh it's a lot rougher, but it's good. It's so good. You get that fire smokeness, smokedness, that burn flavor. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Baby, mmm, baby, mmm, baby.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, just it's like I'm gonna behave. I don't want to be kicked off of YouTube. Yeah, again, a little smokiness isn't bad.
SPEAKER_01Again, and a little bit of Monica in my right, a little bit of Monica. Oh, anyways. I forgot where it's going.

We improved on our score, that's all by one.

Whoa, and then I heard that one plugged on you and you picked it up and they gave you a fucking stroke. Yeah, we dug it out, yeah. You dig it out and then you drop it, and then it's like there they give you a stroke because they're like, hey, what what's going on?
SPEAKER_01You know, yeah, because it was in a hill, you know, you know, and we were over there, oh here it is, you know. And then there was one we played that was kind of right on the edge, and I wonder if they were questioning that one too, because uh it was in bounds, but it was right there, and I was able to hit it out of there a little bit, but Bobby he ended up hitting a root, I think, or no, hit the tree or something, and couldn't get quite out of it, you know.

On Saturday or Sunday, we came back and just chilled and get rid of mine, just came back and chilled Sunday and stuff like that. So it kind of went fast, you know.
