In the season three episode 24 of The A-Team, entitled "Trouble Brewing," viewers are taken on a thrilling adventure as the team must rally to help a brewery owner who is being threatened by a rival businessman.
Hannibal, Face, Murdock, and B.A. are called in to help R. J. Johnston, the owner of a small brewery who is facing harassment and intimidation from a larger beer company who wants to buy him out. Johnston has refused the offer, prompting the larger company to send hired goons to destroy his brewery and run him out of business.
The team initially gets involved by pretending to be reporters interested in covering the story. This allows them to get close to the heart of the issue and start investigating the larger company and their schemes. They quickly discover that the larger beer company is not above getting their hands dirty and using violent tactics to achieve their end goal.
As the team continues to gather information, they realize that Johnston is not the only one being targeted by the larger company. Other small businesses in the area are also being threatened and bullied into selling out. The A-Team decides to take action to help not only Johnston but also these other business owners.
The show takes the audience on a thrilling ride as the team engages in a series of stunts and plans to take down the larger beer company and restore peace to the small businesses in the area. As always, Hannibal is the mastermind behind most of the plans, and there are plenty of explosions, car chases, and fist fights.
One of the highlights of this episode is the interaction between the A-Team and Johnston. Johnston is a likable character who is easy to root for. He is passionate about his brewery and refuses to let the larger company take it away from him. He is grateful to the A-Team for their help and is amazed at some of the stunts they pull off.
The A-Team also faces some challenges in this episode, especially when it comes to B.A. Early on, B.A. is reluctant to help Johnston because he disapproves of alcohol and doesn't want to be involved with a business that promotes it. However, he eventually comes around when he sees how much Johnston's livelihood means to him and how his brewery is a source of pride for the community.
Overall, "Trouble Brewing" is a classic episode of The A-Team that fans of the show will enjoy. It features all the elements that made the show great, including witty banter between the team members, over-the-top stunts and plans, and a likable underdog character who needs their help to overcome a powerful opponent.
