Summer is heating up in Western New York! Brian is back from his Disney excursion just in time to join Scott for a fresh mid-June beer breakdown. Scott is fighting through pure show-week exhaustion with a Beer Tree Checking Pils, while Brian cracks an ultra-fresh Beer Tree Any Day's Haze in his brand-new proper glassware.
