Three IPAs, one variety pack, and zero patience for fake tasting-note nonsense. We crack open BrewDog Hop Fiction, BrewDog American IPA, and Hazy Jane Double Hazy and talk like real drinkers: how much grapefruit shows up, where the bitterness hits, what changes as the beer warms, and which one is actually “crushable” enough to buy again. If you love IPAs but hate when they taste like straight-up citrus peel, our ranking is built for you.
Things get sideways fast when we start comparing everything to Wingman and Elvis Juice, then stumble into BrewDog’s DogHouse hotel near Columbus. Yes, the one with shower beers and in-room taps. We also swap real-life chaos stories, including getting knocked out by a rough sick week, battling yard drainage after heavy rain, and that moment when tornado weather makes you wonder where you’d even hide if you don’t have a basement.
Then we pivot to food because beer deserves backup. Ricky walks through his “cowboy sushi” Traeger cook: a bacon weave wrapped around a meatloaf-style filling with cream cheese and smoked pepper gouda, finished with a high-heat crisp and a glaze that locks everything in. We close out with the last beer scores, a quick run through our Bad Choices card game, and the usual unfiltered laughs.
