The Worst Beer and The Weirdest Jerkey

In episode 228, we dive deep into a terrible Imperial IPA, Howard tries a questionable snack, and the controversy around AI art. This week, Howard bravely samples Pan's Mushroom Jerky, a vegan, plant-based, gluten-free snack. What's the verdict on this shiitake mushroom-based jerky? Is it a delicious, savory alternative, or just a sweet, chewy oddity? The unexpected California warning label adds another layer of intrigue to this fungus-based discussion. We're also talking about the backlash against AI-generated art and why Howard is moving away from it for show thumbnails. Is AI art a form of theft? We discuss the public skepticism and the hilarity of some AI-generated images, including one of Mark Kidder as Yoda. Plus, we've got updates on "KD's Log," a Beretta disassembly challenge, and Mark's viral petition to ban IPAs. All this, plus a heated debate on Star Trek vs. Star Wars and an expensive car breakdown! We also get into the history of hops and why they were once banned.   Recorded: 8.22.25 0:00 – Intro 5:58 – What’s on Tap? 15:28 – After IPA Snacks 22:37 – Should IPAs be Banned 26:53 – Breaking News: Gunshots 28:44 – Dad Jokes of the week 31:31 – Howard’s Expensive Week 37:36 – A Great Way to Start a Saturday 41:23 – Star Trek Whiskey & Sad Trombone 46:03 – What’s on Tap?
