Adam and Steve are back in the studio for that good, good audio quality. This week is talking coffee beers. There's news about Pittsburgh breweries, the affect of the pandemic on Americans buying treats, and Steve sneaks in a news story to use as a jumping off point to pitch a Smokey & The Bandit. Next they use the speculation of 2020 coffee trends to speculate on the trends of beer in 2020. There's at least one good idea in there someone will steal. And speaking of stealing, they rip off PTI for another round of beer industry themed word and wind up getting a little rowdy about the state of American commerce.
