Episode 545 - Icy Treats: Italian Ice & Bomb Pops

We've covered a lot of summer-friendly light drinking beers on the podcast lately, but this one goes right for the freezer aisle. Taking inspiration from a few popular icy treats, this lineup is summer fun in a glass, for the most part, even if said "fun" isn't, like, "beer." We have two beers inspired by lemon italian ice and two beers (plus a seltzer) mimicking that blue raspberry-white lime-red cherry trio of classic American popsicle. Also, we consider what eating contests we might have an okay shot at to win, there's a new level of cuvée happening, and Ryan's weirdly hung-up on Craig's stubbornness around Mission: Impossible. Just be sure to toss the wooden stick when you're done.
