Mac Miller dropped his GO:OD AM album back in September, and has been on tour ever since. Now, he's got another first to celebrate: His first signature beer, brewed specially for him by Dogfish Head's Sam Calagione on the latest episode of "First We Feast Presents: That's Odd, Let's Drink It."

On this episode of "That's Odd, Let's Drink It," Mac and Sam hit up Freemans on the Lower East Side in NYC to share the one-of-a-kind brew: a bourbon barrel-aged brown ale inspired by the Mac's love of whiskey. In order to demonstrate the possibilities of aging beer, they also sample a Thomas Hardy Ale from 1986—before Mac was even born—that's valued at $150 a bottle.

With the extra-special brews acting as a truth serum, the unlikely drinking buddies delve into Mac's love of brown spirits, his new album, and his earliest hip-hop memories. Finally, Mac offers some brutally honest feedback on Sam's fledgling craft­-beer rap group, The Pain Relievaz.
