In this episode of Beers That FITZ, I sit down with Hannah and Courtney for a fun beer-tasting session featuring three unique 5oz pours. Courtney, who’s not a big beer drinker, joins us to explore some bold flavors and give her honest takes as we discuss and rate each brew.

We start with Other Half Brewery’s Berry Mallow Crunchee, an Imperial Granola Berliner Weisse packed with an impressive lineup of ingredients, from berries to marshmallow and even toasted coconut. Next, we dive into White Lion Brewery’s Tropical Secrets, a Fruited Golden Ale bursting with mango, peach, and guava. Finally, we close with White Lion’s Marcus Camby NEIPA, a juicy brew crafted in collaboration with UMass legend Marcus Camby.

Grab your favorite drink and join us for a lively conversation about bold flavors, honest opinions, and what makes these beers stand out. Cheers to good times and great brews!
