It's Professors of Hopitude for this Hopisode! The Dudes get historically hysterical and lay down the low down of our founding fathers' brewing activities. It's a Fourth of July tribute to 250 years of American brewing! They taste the Rules of Civility series by Dynasty Brewing located in Leesburg Virginia, procured from George Washington's historic home at Mount Vernon. Get your tri-cornered drinking cap dusted off and let the fireworks begin!

The Hopsters head to the beach, the Outer Banks to be exact! They rove up and down the OBX, from Corolla to Manteo, to find the best the bars, brews and spirits that the barrier islands have to offer and they dig deep with the hard working folks that make this vacation land the magical place that it truly is! It's boozy blanket bingo with two beach bound bozos!

They talk with Scott Smith at Outer Banks Distilling, purveyors of some of the finest rums anywhere! They hang with Darrell Brickhouse, brewmaster at Whalehead Brewing and taste the latest brews - straight out of the storage vat! Then there's "Dirt"! Award winning bartender of Lost Colony Brewing. They even hang with some folks in Williamsburg's Precarious Beer Project on the way the beach! We'll meet you at Torguga's Lie for lunch!

It's sand sun and suds to get you all hopped up for summer!

The Hopsters sit down with the Lost Rhino crew: Owner Matt Hagerman, Public Events Manager Stephanie Dalton and Head Brewer Ed Dick. It's the 15th anniverary of the Hoppy Dudes' favorite watering hole and we get deep into the history of the brewery. The tastings include silver medal winning Rhino Chasers pilsner, gold medal winning Final Glide hefeweisen, gold medal winning Cold Front IPA and Gold medal winning Coconilla stout. Wanna know how to make beer from prehistoric whalebones? Then THIS is YOUR Hopisode!

Hop on in (beware of the Megalodon)!
