Welcome back, craft beer people. Greg runs a boat straight into the dock after some boat beers, Flex introduces his kids to the glory of fourth meal, and bug beers sound worse than poop beers. Pilot Tom drops off some precious cargo, Ballast Point is falling apart at the seams, and Tony Romo DUIs his way into Wisconsin folk lore.

Beers We're Drinking:

1. Flex is drinking Lawson's Finest Liquids Sip of Sunshine, a classic Vermont IPA delivered under the strict supervision of Pilot Tom.
2. Greg is drinking North Coast Brewing Scrimshaw Pilsner, a crisp craft pilsner making its first appearance on the show in years.

Greg's relaxing morning on the lake ends with a boat parked in the dock a little harder than intended after the battery gives up at exactly the wrong time. Flex discovers his daughters are officially old enough to appreciate the magic of fourth meal after a concert, and the guys spend far too much time deciding whether bug beer or poop beer is the less offensive beverage. Pilot Tom's cross-country beer delivery also gets the VIP treatment it deserves.

Booze News:

1. Ballast Point’s ownership battle puts the brewery’s future at risk.
2. The Lost Abbey opens taproom number five.
3. James Watt makes an offer to buy-back BrewDog.
4. Tony Romo scores a DUI in Milwaukee.
