One of the conceits of Day Drinking on Delmarva is that we let AI name our episodes and then feed that name into an AI image maker. I don’t know why there are bears in the image.

There almost are too many things to talk about for this one episode, but I’ll try and keep it brief. Todd got an “influencer” kit from ABInBev, which bought Hoop Tea. If you’re not familiar, Hoop Tea was developed in Ocean City as a beer alternative in the style of things like Mike’s Hard Lemonade. This was before every local brewery realized it was cheaper to just hook up their alcohol to their club soda dispenser, but that’s a story for another day. Then point is Todd isn’t an “influencer” in ...
