Over an hour and a half, we discussed everything from the evolution of craft brewing in Tuscaloosa to personal stories about Maddox, including the first time he ever drank alcohol and a look back on his college football playing days as a defensive lineman at UAB.

But in keeping with the central of the show, Tuscaloosa businessmen and podcast hosts Justin Grimball and Matt Ray, along with Tuscaloosa Patch and Maddox, tasted and reviewed Druid City Brewing Company's Lamplighter IPA.

The brewery describes this local favorite as a bitter, balanced beer with a subtle maltiness, topped off by a nose that gives distinct hints of tropical fruit. This IPA is 5.9% Alcohol By Volume, so is sure to appeal to both casual and refined palate.
