True or false: Paul Pabst has been blacklisted in Boulder, Colorado, for losing a rental car that has never been recovered. The answer is just one of the fun facts packed into this week’s episode — an episode that keeps us in one of America’s havens of craft beer, the Mile-High City.

In fact, Denver even plays home to the annual Great American Beer Festival — “GABF” (sounds like it’s spelled). And standing in the city’s western neighborhoods is a stout brick building, as unassuming on the outside as it is hopping on the inside. Diebolt Brewing is a family-friendly taproom and a family-inspired brewery that cranks out mainstay brews and experimental flavors in equal measure.

The Back Bowls Brown Ale is the brand’s “reboot” of its GABF silver-medal-winning beer. But a silver medal would pale in prestige to the acclaim of the BeerJunkie himself. So, what does Pabst think? You’ll have to watch to find out!
