BEERS: Will had a classic two-beer-festival weekend in Rhode Island, hitting the Ocean State Brewers Festival and "Brew at the Zoo."  He ran into BBB guest Nichole Pelletier, founder at Crooked Current Brewing Company in Pawtucket, who is slinging out some of Rhode Island's finest beer!  Will tried Banana Split Brown Ale, a perfect complement to the rest of the Crooked Current portfolio.  Meanwhile, Jake's western tour continues with a trip to San Diego.  Jake goes through some of the rich craft beer history in SD, and chooses Weekend Vibes by Coronado Brewing Company, one of the OG's in Southern California. BUSINESS (27:09): Colleen Eyges was out to eat with her family when she realized their waitress looked sick...everyone's worst nightmare.  But when she saw the waitress's Pedialyte and ginger ale in tow, Colleen's worries eased - the waitress was just hungover! Realizing there must be a better way to drink vodka, Colleen set out to create the brand that became Velo Vodka.  We discuss how Velo was built and scaled throughout the Boston area and beyond, the issues with other spirit brands across the country, and what makes Velo unique.  Colleen also imparts her lessons from 20+ years in the corporate world and jumping into an industry she didn't have direct experience in. BALLS: Football season is upon us in just a few short days. We discuss how we're feeling about the NFL season as a whole as a precursor to our Writers Room show next week.  Is it the Chiefs' season to lose, and what needs to go wrong for them to slip away?  We also discuss some favorites to win the NFC North and South, break down some big moves this offseason, and explore the Ravens as a possible sleeper to turn some heads.
