Sometimes the best Thirsty Thursday episodes are the ones that have the worst kind of beer and go a little sideways—and this week’s edition is no exception. From mystery drinks to role reversals (and yes, a pink hoodie), this one had laughs, strong opinions, and a great piece of branded drinkware that we actually wanted to keep.
This time, Jade, Kirby, and Briar took their usual seats—except they didn’t. Jade and Briar switched spots, and for reasons that will only make sense if you watch the episode, Briar ended up wearing Jade’s bright pink zip-up hoodie. It was silly from the start… and only got sillier.

What we loved about this cup:
-
Big, bold branding – With a full-color imprint, it’s perfect for sports teams, company events, tailgates, and giveaways.
-
Sturdy feel – Not your flimsy, throwaway stadium cup. This one has substance.
-
Large capacity – Holds 22 oz of your favorite beverage (hopefully better than the one we tried this week).
-
Reusable and functional – A budget-friendly way to get your brand in people’s hands—literally.
Verdict: A Thirsty Thursday favorite. We may not have loved the drink, but we’d happily keep the cup.
The Drink: Guinness 0 Non-Alcoholic Stout
Now, let’s talk about the other part of Thirsty Thursday—the mystery drink.
This week’s pick was the Guinness 0 Non-Alcoholic Stout. And while we’re always open to trying something new… this one didn’t win us over.
First impressions:
-
It looked like a Guinness, smelled like a Guinness… but that’s where the resemblance ended.
-
The flavor? Thin, watery, and confusing.
-
Briar’s now-infamous quote: “It tastes like a spit cup.”
Oof.
Whether you’re a diehard Guinness fan or just curious about NA options, we’ll say this: proceed with caution. If you’re after that classic stout flavor without the alcohol, this may not be the one to get you there.
The Vibe: Pink Hoodies and Punchlines
Beyond the drink and the cup, what made this episode fun was the energy. From the moment Briar zipped up Jade’s hoodie and took her seat, the tone was set. It was loose, unscripted, and full of laughs—the kind of vibe that makes Thirsty Thursday what it is.
One of the best things about this series is that it’s not just about drinkware—it’s about real reactions, real people, and relatable branded merch. Whether the drink is a hit or a flop, we always walk away with a product we’d be proud to recommend.
