In this episode, the Shannon and James take fantasy football season in a different direction by holding their very own draft—only instead of quarterbacks and wide receivers, they’re selecting their dream lineups of beer styles. From hoppy heavy-hitters to dark and malty sleepers, the duo debate their picks, defend their strategies, and have a few laughs along the way.
Make sure to visit our Instagram @doublehopbeatpodcast to vote on who has the best team, best name and best strategy.
Alongside the draft fun, James and Shannon share updates from their latest homebrewing adventures, including how fermentation is going, new recipes in the works, and lessons learned from their recent batches. Whether you’re a fantasy football fanatic, a beer enthusiast, or just love some good banter, this episode is the perfect blend of competition and craft.
