The boys are back for Round 13 and a special, quarantine edition of The HOP! This week we take a look at Stone Brewing -- one of the largest craft breweries in the country headquartered in San Diego, California. First, Stephen takes a drive down the Coast for an in-person visit on our new segment: Taproom Special. Joined by his little brother, Stephen samples several beers on tap and hosts a fascinating discussion about the intersection of craft beer and punk rock. Later, Gabe and Stephen sample one of Stone's most popular brews while taking a look at their impressive operation.

Featured beers: Ruination DIPA 2.0, Bourbon Barrel Aged Arrogant Bastard and Xocoveza Imperial Stout. Plus: Sorry not sorry -- we have to talk about the Cats movie one more time. #ReleaseTheButtholeCut
