The 1975, Mistress Brewing, 56 Brewing

The boys are now 10 quarantine episodes deep. And more regular podcast recording means more wild card music reviews.

This time, the gang dives into The 1975's fourth studio album Notes on a Conditional Form. The album is one hour and 20 minutes of spoken word, punk rock, pop rock, synth-pop, and more. The music is all over the place ... for better or worse.

Eric decides to take a break from the beard portion of the podcast this episode as he tries out new products, including Iowa Beard Company's Beard Wash and Co Wash (stay tuned for his review in an upcoming episode of Beats, Beards & Brews!).

Evan and Eric drink Summer Fling Pineapple IPA from Mistress Brewing out of Ankeny, Iowa. This dangerously smooth 8% abv beverage is Eric's pick for "beer of the summer 2020." Whoa! Meanwhile, Dan sips on Solarama Crush, a double dry-hopped honey, hazy American IPA from 56 Brewing in Minneapolis.

Never forget this out of context gem of a quote from Dan: "Everybody in the Braak household gets a facial!"

If only everyone could be as generous as Dan is in these trying times...
