128. "Dark Phoenix" // Bend Brewing Co (Bend, OR) // Funky Buddha (Oakland Park, FL)

This week, our discussion of the latest (and final) installment into the X-Men franchise that brought us "First Class," "Days of Future Past," and rammed "Apocalypse" down our throats. "Dark Phoenix" chronicles the downward spiral of Jean Grey after she's hit by, what's thought to be a solar flare. As the power within her grows stronger, her ability to control it weakens and the rest of the X-Men may pay the price. Our conversation in fueled by beers donated to the show by our friend Cameron. One is a reprisal to the FHC scene with "Ching Ching." It's a sour from Bend Brewing Co with pomegranate and hibiscus clocking in at 4.5% abv. The second is a HUGE barrel aged imperial porter called Morning Wood from Funky Buddha Brewing out of Oakland Park, FL.
