We open four very different takes on wine-inspired beers, some that have aged gracefully, and some that go places with styles in a way we haven\u2019t experienced. Also, Craig discovers a new innovation in frozen pizza technology; we re-examine the arch of sour programs in the U.S. over the last decade; Ryan\u2019s trying his hand at being a Zoom-based magician; and we try to avoid the crash of flabby sweetness.
