Welcome to "We'll Take The Lot," a craft beer/comedy series where Work For Your Beer co-founders Alicia and Mel taste every beer on tap at various breweries around the country — and eventually, the world.In this week's episode...We are genuinely obsessed with the bike-themed decor and beer names at Crank Arm Brewing Company in downtown Raleigh, NC.Not to mention their can art, new outdoor alley with patio seating, and the bike rides, yoga classes, run club, and trivia nights they host. If you're looking for somewhere to #WorkForYourBeer in Raleigh, this is the spot for you!At Crank Arm Brewing, we taste every beer on the tap list while talking about...
Our YouTube audience's apparent interest in girls burping (someone please explain to us if this is a fetish?)
Penn State personalities we recall from our time in college together like Unicycle Guy, Squirrel Girl, Afro Kid, Boombox Guy, and more
How Mel's corgi, Pancake, is a "Tricycle Prince" (a beer name at Crank Arm) because Mel rides him around her neighborhood in the basket of an adult tricycle
Alicia's cicerone training, and how it means yes she WOULD notice if you mixed up our beer order, Devon!!!
What the hell a "skid lid" is
...and much, much more!Mel's favorite was obviously the Tricycle Prince, a triple berry sour inspired by Prince himself, while Alicia favored the Skid Lid, a kettle-soured pale ale with tangerine and dry-hopped with Citra hops.Beers, in order of appearance:
