| Synopsis | When Moe's gall bladder goes on the fritz, Homer, Carl, Lenny, and Barney are forced to face the prospect of life without beer - unless Moe's Bar's best barflies bound from their barstools becoming bartenders to save their buddy's bread and butter. But once these four lushes taste the lush life, there may be no going back! Watch the olives fly, the beer taps flow, and cocktail napkins get all soggy as Moe mixes it up with his new rival mixologists - The Beer Boys! It's a refreshing tale, shaken not stirred in December!
