Preston Lloyd becomes the new, no-nonsense manager of the Pawtucket Brewery in "The Birthday Bootlegger".
With a sharp focus on increasing productivity, Preston orders the halt of birthday celebrations that Peter had been in charge of. When the employees try to take them underground in an unused conference room, Peter's overpowered guitar amplifier gives the game away and he ends up being fired. But when the employees make a show of solidarity behind him, Peter is reinstated and allowed to celebrate employees' birthdays on a monthly basis.
In "The Jersey Bore", Preston takes Peter along with him to Atlantic City to face some distributors that are threatening to quit selling Pawtucket ale. The latter tries to have some fun by inviting his friends along with him, but Preston turns it into a working trip. When Peter gets caught after sneaking away with his friends, he tells Peter that he'll never amount to anything. Peter challenges him for never even tasting their product, so he decides to give it a try. The next morning, the guys awaken a state of disarray and find a message from Preston asking for help. Unable to locate him, Peter starts to give Preston's presentation, but finds he is losing the clients, so he improvises his own based on his own experience with beer and manages the save the contract. Afterwards, Preston appears and states that he did it intentionally because after sampling beer and finding it totally disgusting, he realized that only a drunk like Peter could truly explain it. They finish out their time in Atlantic City together watching the bodies float in from the ocean at the pier.
Preston Lloyd is voiced by Peter Macon.
