The modern rock opera in question is titled American Love Story by Beats, Beards & Brews alum Butch Walker. One things for sure, 'ol Butch's guitar tones are absolutely on point on this album. Next, Dan gets even more fired up when he learns Eric has been slathering emu oil on his face for the past week. Why you ask?

Let's just say it's not quite "album of the summer." Dan and Eric test out Grave Before Shave's latest beard-softening product, its Beard Butter, which is not heatproof. It's also better for big, burly beards than it is for tender, trimmed beards. The Beats, Beards & Brews trio then goes on to review a trio of Radler aka Shandy beers, which are underwhelming in the abv department.

The gang goes a little bit country and kicks things off with a review of Kacey Musgrave's third studio album Golden Hour, not to be confused with "Golden Shower," which will hopefully be her fourth studio album. Kacey seems to bring a little more pop and a little less outlaw to the table this go-round and everyone finds it to be inoffensive listening.

The boys are a little divided on this one, but there are a few key points they can agree on. 1) The album art for Pinewood Smile is atrocious. 2) Permission to Land is still awesome. 3) Never go full Queen.

Naturally, several f-bombs are dropped in this episode. Dan and Eric then ponder the evolutionary and health-related benefits of having a beard, including its ability to protect from sickness, allergens and the elements.

Evan gets lost in the heavy metal nostalgia, while Dan isn't as easily impressed. Dan and Eric then give their take on an innovative, and slightly perplexing, new product called the Beard Balm Brush (aka #spongebowser). It's more balm than brush and it definitely smells good, at least the bearded duo can agree on that. Finally, everyone reviews a lemony-fresh, sour brew straight outta Evan's hood (Des Moines, Iowa).
