Have you ever found yourself perusing the craft beer aisle at Trader Joe’s wondering, “Where do they get this mysterious IPA that’s $4.99 for a 6-pack?” Stephen & Gabe have! This week, The HOP heads to the grocery store to uncover the truth behind the Trader Joe’s beer brands. Who really brews this stuff? Is it any good? Is Trader Joe’s the craft beer deal of the century or a case of, “you get what you pay for?” The boys peel back the curtain on the whole operation, sampling several options from breweries around the U.S. (And of course we grabbed some orange chicken on the way out!)
Featured beers: Drive-Thru Red Ale and Boatswain DIPA, (a.k.a. Twin Screw Steamer.) Plus: Stephen finds himself in a standoff with a chicken on the street in DTLA.
