This week, we’re heading to one of America’s homes of barbecue, Kansas City, Missouri. Coincidentally, K.C. is also where Paul once received one of his all-time favorite ears of corn, handed to him by a total stranger. But hey, that’s what makes life worth living — nothing ventured, nothing gained!

With that spirit of adventure, the BeerJunkie is going outta this world, with Boulevard Brewing’s Space Camper Cosmic IPA.

But this episode isn’t just about the beer; it’s about one of the oldest and hippest breweries you can visit. Sit back, crack a cold one of your own, and enjoy!
