Barley & Me host Ben Rice is joined by Paulina Olivares (Sacramento Pink Boots Society) and Corky McDonnell (Dare Daniel Podcast) to review this week's beer-centric flick, Furious 7. This film was recommended by the boysz at Drink Something, Say Something Podcast! We break down this film's plot, script, acting, and beer authenticity, over a pint of Fight Me I'm Irish from Campus Brewing and some pickle whiskey (we recorded on St. Patrick's Day). Is this a beer movie? How does it compare to other beer movies? Which stunts blew our minds?!? And what the hell kinda Belgian ale is this? Plus! Hilarious real-life car crashes, cloud dancers, the unexpected Bachelor/F&F crossover, and a MASSIVE Wahlberg family reveal you do not want to miss. Enjoy!
If you have a beer-centric or heavily-beer-involved movie recommendation, let us know and maybe we’ll do this again!
