Steph stops by to hang out and share one of her favorite beers of all time. Flex just got back from a baseball game and Greg had a fight with his Uber driver over some teams. We’ve also got beer fertilizer, a dumb baseball-beer challenge, and a new gross beer origin story.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  1. Greg is drinking Row 2 Hill 56 Pale Ale from Russian River, a clean, crushable Simcoe pale.
  2. Steph is drinking Secale from Red Rock Brewing, a rye barrel-aged doppelbock, rich and whiskey-forward.

Flex kicks things off by unofficially launching his beer guild, complete with membership rules and it’s first member. Greg shares a rideshare that turns into a full Dodgers vs Giants argument with a driver who won’t stop talking, which explains why he’s fully out on small talk. Steph drops back in like she never left and ends up in the middle of a real debate about Idaho’s beer scene before things drift into long-term goldfish survival, backyard memorial plans, and how a $10 fair prize somehow became a permanent responsibility.

Booze News:

  1. St. Patrick’s Day still boosts draft beer even on a weekday
  2. March Madness lifts Busch Light, Guinness, and Blue Moon
  3. Firestone Walker takes over U.S. production of Trumer Pils
  4. BrewDog drops from billion-dollar hype to discount buy
  5. Natty Light turns spent grain into lawn fertilizer
  6. Giants’ “9-9-9” challenge isn’t actually 9-9-9

Greg is drinking a hype beer thanks to a listener, Flex backs it like he’s been waiting for this moment, and then a listener drops a story about a pilsner that tasted exactly like hot dog water. This turns into the great hotdog debate of 2026. Flex gives us the inside scoop grocery store bribes, Greg reliving a Four Loko night he barely remembers, and a Florida golf cart ride that ends about as badly as you’d expect.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  1. Greg is drinking MI, MI, MI, a Triple IPA from Old Nation Brewing. Thanks listener Andrew!

Greg wastes no time declaring his triple IPA a problem in the best way, while Flex basically co-signs every sip from a distance like a proud parent. A listener email about a pilsner tasting like hot dog water spirals into a surprisingly passionate argument over boiled versus grilled hot dogs, complete with ketchup crimes and Midwest speculation. Flex shares stories from his grocery days where frozen pizza reps were handing out perks like it was a low-budget mafia, including a short-lived run of unlimited free pizza that ended in a mysterious party theft. Thanks to our Obscure Beer Term, a new beer term gets fully adopted, Greg revisits a Four Loko blackout he barely survived, and Flex introduces possibly the dumbest employee he’s ever worked with, which says a lot.

Booze News:

  1. Wine and spirits execs caught running a decade-long grocery store bribery game
  2. George Clooney enters the NA beer chat with “Crazy Mountain”
  3. Four Loko might be worth $400 million somehow
  4. Tilray scoops up BrewDog’s U.S. spots, including that beer hotel
  5. Florida man gets a DUI… on a golf cart… after his wife falls off

Greg is drinking free beer and it actually holds up, Flex is deep into his no-drinking stretch and catching heat for it, and Fontana Jim comes in hot with a full rules breakdown. There are some big brewery moves, a new segment featuring a beer made with bull testicles, and a reminder that DoorDashing champagne to a kid’s birthday party is always an option.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  1. Greg is drinking Dad Strength IPA from Dad Strength Brewing, a low-calorie West Coast IPA with a light body and piney bite.

Flex is nearly a month into no drinking and realizing warm weather, snow days, and productivity all feel like they should come with a beer, while Greg is out here DoorDashing champagne to a family party like it’s completely normal. Fontana Jim checks in just to absolutely unload on Flex for his version of Lent, which leads to a full debate about whether Sundays count and if any of it matters anyway. And thanks to Scott, Greg introduces a new segment involving beers with gross origins, which quickly turns into a full conversation about eating bull testicles with zero hesitation from Flex.

Booze News:

  1. Sycamore Brewing reopens as Club West after ownership change
  2. Tilray deal closes 38 BrewDog bars and cuts hundreds of jobs
  3. Half Acre and Maplewood merge into Chicago beverage company
  4. Michigan moves to raise ABV cap on canned cocktails

Greg is still drinking for two while Flex continues his dry spell. Greg cracks open a hazy IPA that looked promising but had other plans, while the guys talk about a listener’s mushroom double experiment, a new idea to tax alcohol based on ABV, and a Brewers Association report that is not exactly encouraging. Somewhere in the middle they detour into a Seattle growler adventure, a drunk lawmaker, and a ski resort arrest that involves marijuana, kids, and ski boots behind the wheel.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  1. Greg is drinking Electric Limbs Hazy IPA from Beachwood Brewing, a 6.7% hazy IPA brewed with Mosaic and Citra hops.

Greg rolls the dice on a Beachwood hazy IPA that turns out to be aggressively carbonated and strangely lifeless, which leads to a listener email about a mushroom double from a very hipster brewery. The conversation wanders into old drinking stories, including Greg roaming Seattle with a growler stuffed in someone’s purse while exploring the stadium district. Flex and Greg also get into the realities of the modern craft beer industry and how things like AI tools and shifting revenue are changing the landscape for brewers.

Booze News:

  1. Hawaii lawmakers propose alcohol tax based on ABV instead of beverage category
  2. Brewers Association reports another operating loss in 2025
  3. Washington state lawmaker apologizes for being drunk during committee meeting
  4. Michigan woman arrested for DUI at ski resort while wearing ski boots

Flex gives up drinking for Lent, but Greg is making up for it. That leads to dirty soda experiments, Daytona Bike Week bar stories involving baby bird shots and hurricane slaps, and the phrase mack and scrote has entered the chat. We also get into bloated tap lists and wrap with Booze News packed with brewery buyouts and a DUI story that is medically impossible.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  1. Greg is drinking Million Dollar Hazy from Shelter Beer Company, a hazy IPA brewed with Mosaic, Citra, and Sabro hops.
  2. Flex is drinking a dirty soda made with Diet Coke and French vanilla coffee creamer.

A listener writes in about breweries running huge tap lists and we get into whether more options actually make things better or just harder to pick a beer. Flex shares stories from Daytona Bike Week including a baby bird shot and a hurricane shot that ends with water in the face and a full slap, which begs the question: which one would you take? A bar conversation introduces the term “mack and scrote” and it immediately becomes part of the show. Flex explains his Lent break from alcohol and the accidental discovery of dirty soda, which somehow leads to a conversation about sedation dentistry and extreme fear of the dentist.

Booze News:

  1. Tilray acquires BrewDog’s brand, brewery, and UK pubs for £33 million
  2. Drake’s Brewing and Figueroa Mountain launch the West Coast Craft venture
  3. Left Hand Collective adds Bootstrap Brewing
  4. Latitude Beverage expands with the House of Mason platform acquisition
  5. Monster’s alcohol sales drop and the company records a $53.7 million impairment
  6. Angel City Brewing announces April 30 closure
  7. Colorado driver arrested after being 12 times the limit!

Greg cracks open the IPA that started his craft beer obsession, Flex rolls the dice on way too much tangerine, and Vanessa is handing out drunk Buc-ee’s tours. We do a little episode 500 reflecting, remember the good times, and talk about what craft beer might look like 500 episodes from now (in the year 2000). We’ve also got drunk dentists, drunk drivers hopping away, and Georgia breweries fighting for the right to party (and sell more of their own beer.)

Beers We’re Drinking:

  1. Greg is drinking IPA 395 from Mammoth Brewing Company, a 7.2% old school West Coast IPA with sage, juniper, and dank citrus throwback vibes.
  2. Flex is drinking Tangerine Jams from Brix City Brewing, an 8% milkshake style double IPA with tangerine, vanilla, Citra, and Mosaic.

Episode 500 turns into a little memory lane as Greg and Flex try to remember their first beers on the show, debate how beer trends might swing back around in another decade, and admit that some of their favorite moments never even made it to air, including an unhinged Fraggle Rock bit. Greg shares a Valentine’s Day Buc-ee’s field report that turned into a drunk walking tour, while Flex talks about actually going to the doctor like a responsible adult and realizing that healthy by default is no longer a thing. Both the guys did a little research and live to tell the tale.

Booze News:

  1. Heineken 0.0 adds cold pressed lime and nectarine juniper because apparently NA beer is just juice now
  2. Bend breweries unite under the new Oregon Beverage Collective
  3. Real American Beer drops Hulk Hogan from packaging and says it hits different
  4. Georgia craft brewers push to loosen sales limits and shake up the three tier system
  5. Iowa dentist reinstated after allegedly performing a root canal at .158 BAC
  6. Man in a Kia Soul allegedly hits 100 mph while drunk, then hops around during arrest

This week we’re talking overrated beer styles and why IPAs caught stray bullets, a Milwaukee extra pale ale that Steve absolutely misunderstood, Olympic athletes apparently doing cardio after hours, Corona owning the Olympic taps, a ballplayer sneaking beer into the dugout, and more brewery shakeups than anyone wants to see. It’s craft beer, sports-ish, and Florida doing Florida things.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  1. Flex is drinking Strata Pictor Pop from Amorphic Beer, a 4.5% extra pale ale with berry-forward hops, crisp floral finish, and clean sessionable vibes.
  2. Greg is drinking Planetary Alignment from Pure Project Brewing, a 6.7% murky IPA with pineapple, mango, and soft tropical haze.

Greg throws a simple question out into the internet and accidentally starts an IPA civil war, while Flex goes to war with a guy named Steve who ordered a beer, described it perfectly, and still complained about it. The two debate overrated versus underrated craft beer styles, land on red ales and gose as forgotten heroes, and immediately turn into old men yelling about fruit puree. From there it’s on to the Olympic Village: rumors, future super-athletes, Corona somehow being the only beer at the Games. The Phillies release an outfielder after he grabs a beer on his way to the dugout. And the Super Bowl was a super dud, though the halftime show earned some respect for its production and tree-costume genius.

Booze News:

  1. Corona is the only beer at the Olympics
  2. Topa Topa cuts staff but keeps taprooms open
  3. Colorado proposes per-bottle fee to fund addiction recovery
  4. BrewDog explores sale and possible breakup
  5. Super Bowl beer sales dip across the board

A listener calls in with a story about the worst beer he’s ever had, we debate whether Busch Light counts as a Wisconsin tumbleweed, and we learn a Scottish beer term that needs better PR. There’s talk about driving before Uber existed, Monster selling off more brewery equipment, Rogue heading to auction, Sam Adams pushing a 9 percent wheat ale, and a Florida man who kept driving while his car was on fire.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  1. Greg is drinking Legends of the Hidden Terpene from Cellarmaker Brewing, a citrus-forward West Coast IPA.
  2. Flex is drinking Honeymoon Phase from BlackStack Brewing, a fresh hop double IPA loaded with sweet citrus, melon, and tropical candy vibes.

Listener Brian brings us back to some truly awful beers, barely fermented pours from a tiny spot where everything somehow tasted exactly the same. That leads to a conversation about terrible brewery names and even worse logos, including a ferret that looks like it lost a fight. Andrew writes in to find out if the Wisconsin Tumbleweed is real, which turns out to be a can of Busch Light rolling down the street. We also bring back Obscure Beer Term of the Week with “inky pinky,” a real Scottish phrase for weak beer that sounds like anything but. From there the guys get into the pre-Uber days, how impairment actually hits, and why having options now is a very good thing.

Booze News:

  1. Monster Brewing auctions off Deep Ellum’s brewing equipment.
  2. Rogue Ales’ assets head to estate auction while the brand name stays put.
  3. Major alcohol retailers push for federal regulation of hemp-derived THC drinks.
  4. BrewDog shuts down its distilling arm after heavy losses.
  5. Sam Adams releases a 9 percent Imperial Wheat Ale in 19.2-ounce cans.
  6. Florida man charged with DUI after driving down the highway in a burning car.

There’s Super Bowl talk without much Super Bowl excitement, snack rankings that draw some heat, a voicemail that turns into a travel guide, and multiple reminders that not every brewery idea needs to exist. We’ve got research at a closing brewery, game-day math, and some brewery news that hits close to home. Grab a light lager, maybe avoid the ketchup keg, and hang out for a bit.

Beers We’re Drinking:

Greg and Flex both got their hands on Howdy Beer. An easy-drinking American pilsner with light hop presence and a clean finish.

With the Super Bowl happening this week, we’ve got an appropriate game-day beer, Super Bowl (drunk) fun facts, and the top 10 snacks to have at your big game party! The number one snack does not sit well with Flex. Chew calls in to double down on Paperback Brewing and to share his brewery expansion anxiety. And Greg does a little local research…one last time.

Booze News:

  1. Casa Agria announces its final pour window after weeks of uncertainty
  2. Heinz releases a 114-ounce ketchup keg just in time for the Super Bowl
  3. Columbia Sportswear backs a lager brewed with water infused with bear droppings
  4. Topa Topa reportedly lays off upper management amid sale speculation
  5. Former Rogue employees file lawsuit over sudden shutdown
  6. GABF announces an outdoor Denver location for 2026
  7. Trillium auctions off its $200,000 outdoor bathrooms

There’s a disco ball IPA, a listener confession that brings back the beer horror story era whether anyone asked for it or not, and a real discussion about why some brewery memberships feel like math homework. Somewhere along the way, we learn that “buttload” is not just a phrase, rice lagers get official recognition, and having a dead snake on your wrist might actually get you out of a DUI. Probably.

Beers We’re Drinking

  1. Flex is drinking Disco Beer from Evil Twin Brewing, a double IPA with Sauvignon Blanc grape juice and Citra and Nelson hops.
  2. Greg is drinking Culture Vulture Hazy IPA from Fall Brewing, citrus-forward with orange zest leading the way.

A listener email drags the show back into beer trauma territory with a bottle-conditioned saison that smelled like a barn and finished like a wet dog with hobbies. Greg and Flex compare worst-beer memories, including a stout that tasted like iron filings and a Firestone release that somehow still has thousands of positive ratings. The conversation turns into a full-on debate about brewery memberships, mug clubs, and why doing the math sometimes ruins the vibe, especially when the perk is a mug nobody asked for. Somewhere in there, Flex admits he respects anyone who keeps pre-cut limes ready for parking lot Modelos, Greg confesses his complicated relationship with movie theater beers, and both agree that late-night happy hour is one of humanity’s greatest achievements.

Booze News

  1. Leinenkugel’s leadership stays in the family as the presidency changes hands.
  2. Goat Patch Brewing has a new spot in Colorado.
  3. Rice lager officially joins the Brewers Association style guidelines.
  4. Iowa man pulled over with open Modelos and a lime ready for action.
  5. Drunk driver in India allegedly escapes police by threatening them with a dead snake.

Flex lets his kids pick his beer at the bottle shop, which leads to a very pink can and a reminder that not everything good needs to be an IPA. There’s a listener message that brings back the Yule Log, Greg gets outside for some very official beer research, and a discussion about why hard cheese deserves more respect. We’ve also got a drunk guy in the wrong house, the oldest bars in America still pouring drinks, and a gentle nudge that it’s okay to just drink now.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  1. Flex is drinking Memory Loop from Phase Three Brewing, a West Coast-style extra pale ale with blueberry, mango, and fresh hop notes.
  2. Greg is drinking Lucky & Cheeky’s Escape IPA from Beachwood Brewing and Green Cheek, a dry West Coast IPA with bright citrus and an easy finish.

Flex talks about his field trip to the bottle shop with his girls and how that led to an extra pale ale that actually rules. Greg hits up his new favorite spot for a couple beers and some very official research with Deb and Brian. A listener leaves a podcast review that somehow turns into a conversation about personalized license plates and whether anyone else is supposed to understand them. There’s also a message from a listener that proves some traditions still land, even when you’re just trying to survive a Costco run. Things wrap up with a run of drunk stories involving the wrong houses, the wrong rooms, and a few very bad bathroom decisions.

Booze News:

  1. New federal drinking guidelines say just drink less, no more gender limits
  2. Sycamore Brewing moves toward a rebrand after co-founder arrest
  3. Oskar Blues shuts down its Colorado Springs taproom after eight years
  4. Florida man arrested after trying to break into the wrong house while drunk
  5. America’s oldest bars that are still open and still serving

Greg and Flex get into boozing on a budget, a listener writes in to set Flex straight, and Greg finally tries Beatboxes so everyone else doesn’t have to. There’s a voicemail about getting wrecked on fruit punch, a Costco beer that smells like banana candy, and a reminder that Florida is still Florida. Add tacos, onions, and some beers that we used to know to get your favorite beer podcast.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  • Flex is drinking Breakfast at Tiffany’s from Mikerphone Brewing, a Berliner-style weiss with blueberry and maple syrup.
  • Greg is boozin’ on a budget with Kirkland Signature Vintage Ale, a 12% barrel-aged budget bomber.

We’re taking polls: what are beers you used to love and just can’t do anymore? A listener writes in to set Flex straight on his “my sister-in-law’s husband” phrasing, and the ruling does not go his way. The guys get into tacos, why onions matter, and the emotional damage left behind by ground beef tacos pretending to be real tacos. Greg reports back after finally trying Beatboxes at Total Wine, confirming that free samples can still feel overpriced. BuzzBall sightings make an appearance, along with holiday memories no one asked to relive. There’s also talk of new international listeners, which has Greg wondering if it’s time to gas up the jet and go say hi.

Booze News:

  • New Mexico’s largest brewery shuts down taprooms after a bankruptcy filing gets denied.
  • Brewery closures continue to outpace openings as survival matters more than expansion.
  • GLP-1 medications hit drinking tolerance harder and last longer than expected.
  • Florida man blames DUI on a medical condition he cannot pronounce.

Greg shares why glitter is banned from his house, unveils new merch, and reacts to a surprise spike of listeners in Hong Kong. A voicemail from Psycho Bear turns into equal parts local brewery talk and NFC North trash talk, while holiday stories cover brutal work schedules, forcing kids to stay up until midnight, bacon-wrapped chestnuts, and surviving family gatherings. Greg finally makes it back to Disneyland, pilots the Millennium Falcon, and learns that blinking buttons are apparently not obvious to everyone.

Booze News:

  • Sycamore Brewing closes its taproom following serious criminal charges against a former owner.
  • Heineken plans new non-alcoholic flavor extensions and a zero-everything option.
  • GhostFish Brewing takes over the former Pike Brewing space in Seattle.
  • Malibu Brewing announces a future location at Universal CityWalk.
  • A women-brewed pale ale highlights outdated beer laws around the world.
  • A stolen mandolin gets returned with a note that reads, “sorry I been drunk.”

Flex is out with the lingus, but Erica jumps in to fill those short-shorts. Greg finally tracks down his annual dosing of Sierra Nevada Celebration, Erica brings her own Sierra Nevada winter vibes, and the holidays officially kick off with champagne dreams, questionable work parties, white elephant rules that make no sense, and the long-awaited dropping of the Yule Log. There’s also a raw egg beer cocktail nobody asked for, some very loud Christmas traditions, and Florida doing what Florida does best, getting frisky in a grocery store parking lot.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  • Greg is drinking Celebration Ale from Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. — classic West Coast holiday tradition.
  • Erica is drinking Skiesta Bavarian Lager from Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. — crisp, bready, easy winter lager.

Flex is out, Erica is in, and she wastes no time talking about her holiday white elephant party and why fancy work parties are basically designed to make everyone uncomfortable. Greg finally completes his Celebration Ale hunt without committing to a Costco-sized mistake, proving that two cans is the perfect amount of that beer, once a year. They get into their shared love of champagne, Erica’s love of chnog, and Greg’s ongoing refusal to attend holiday parties—even if there’s free booze involved. Everything wraps up the only way it should: with the most important Christmas tradition of them all, the annual dropping of the Yule Log.

Booze News:

  • North Carolina bars react after Sycamore Brewing co-founder arrest
  • Anheuser-Busch moves closer to owning BeatBox
  • AB announces brewery closures amid manufacturing overhaul
  • Blackout Wednesday drinking dips year over year
  • Florida trio arrested for midday grocery store parking lot activities

Greg finally completes his Celebration Ale hunt without committing to a Costco-sized mistake, proving that two cans is the perfect amount of that beer, once a year. They get into their shared love of champagne, Erica’s love of chnog, and Greg’s ongoing refusal to attend holiday parties—even if there’s free booze involved. Everything wraps up the only way it should: with the most important Christmas tradition of them all, the annual dropping of the Yule Log.

Greg’s on a mission for two Celebration Ales and somehow ends up planning a Christmas party beer con.

There’s a crash course in beer biology, a reminder that bars are basically therapy, and a rundown of what to drink with your dry turkey dinner, very on brand for a craft beer podcast heading into the holidays.

Flex learns about calamansi mid-pour, and Greg buys regretfully from Total Wine (aka the beer thrift store.

Greg rediscovers an old beer flame while Flex gets extra creepy with his new mustache. Flex educates us with some beer history, while Greg works through the science of staying buzzed but functional at a concert. Moshing ain’t easy. We’ve also got a new list, the fall of fun, and a huge craft brewery suddenly closes its doors while another one might rise from the dead.

Beers We’re Drinking

  • Greg is drinking Black Butte Porter from Deschutes Brewing — rich chocolate, coffee, and smooth roasted notes.
  • Flex is drinking Evil Ways from Eagle Park Brewing — hazy, juicy, and packed with Sultana and Citra hops.

Flex’s mustache era is officially here, and it’s making everyone. Greg admits beer is emotional support at concerts, and the guys figure out just how much liquid courage belongs in the pit. And beer vs liquor, what are you drinking at a concert? We’ve also got a list of the nation’s best IPAs (so they say), and some nerdy podcast news.

Booze News

  • Rogue Ales shuts down — one of Oregon’s OG breweries calls it quits.
  • 21st Amendment might not be gone after all.
  • Modelo gets festive with Noche Especial.
  • New Belgium’s Lauren Woods Limbach retires after nearly three decades of shaping American sours.
  • And Congress finds a new way to make sure fun stays illegal.

Flex takes the captain’s chair again, armed with a milkshake IPA and lost movie quotes. Greg’s back with a story so anatomically correct it probably violates building codes. Meanwhile, Untappd jumps the shark by letting people rate sodas. Listener Nate keeps the poop beer saga alive with a ketchup-flavored saison nightmare, and somehow the guys end up debating pickles on burgers and the ethics of a 20% service charge on a 10-cent martini. And a drunk judge that gets caught with her pants down.

Beers We’re Drinking:


Flex starts off sweating over his Untappd search while trying to keep the show on course, but Greg derails things immediately with the world’s most unfortunately designed hotel. The guys go full detective mode on Untappd’s soda ratings, proving once and for all that the app has truly lost it. Listener Nate drops another installment of the “poop beer” saga with some real burger vibes. And why is Maine so stingy about their beer?

  • Great Divide opens a new taproom in Denver’s RiNo District.
  • Molson Coors cuts 400 jobs before the holidays.
  • Ballast Point shutters another location and lays off staff.
  • And in Arizona, a judge gets drunk, loses her pants, and her job — in that order.

Flex is still running the show while Greg recovers from his lingering Lingus, and Erica’s back in the mix to keep things on track. Flex shares his new obsession: a pastry sour so good it borders on romantic, while Erica talks about killing rattlesnakes, surviving Aftershock Festival, and accidentally turning her Beer Babes pool party into an icing ambush. Plus, we coin a new beer slang term, roast Spotted Cow’s clout, and flirt dangerously with launching our own brewery just so we can call it Daddy.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  • Flex is drinking Magic Wands from Xul Beer Co., a blueberry lemon cheesecake pastry sour that he calls “heaven in a can.”
  • Erica is drinking Mambo Italiano Pilsner from Mikerphone Brewing, a crisp Italian-style pilsner with notes of fresh bread and balance for days.

Flex is the captain again and shares how his daughter’s “pink pony club beer pick” led to one of the best sours he’s ever had, and Erica talks about her trip to Aftershock, a one-day run of bands, beer, and a surprisingly solid Marilyn Manson performance. The radioactive spider bite saga continues, complete with new Spider-Man theories, and Erica casually drops that she killed a rattlesnake with a shovel like it was just another Tuesday, a beer well earned.

Flex introduces a new segment, “Obscure Beer Term of the Week,” breaking down what it means to be a “ticker” and sparking a chat about Untappd culture, Spotted Cow hype, and how the beer scene has evolved.

  • Dad Strength scores $300K on Shark Tank with barely-beer IPAs

Flex introduces a new segment, “Obscure Beer Term of the Week,” breaking down what it means to be a “ticker” and sparking a chat about Untappd culture, Spotted Cow hype, and how the beer scene has evolved.

  • Sazerac’s Fireball faces a class action for being fake fire

Greg’s under the weather this week, so Flex takes the wheel with Erica riding shotgun. Erica shares her Beer Babes weekend that turned into a Smirnoff Ice ambush, and Flex breaks down how much baseball fans are drinking during the playoffs. We also share some some wild beer stories; Godzilla teaming up with PBR, a cyberattack that shut down Asahi in Japan, and a guy who thought wearing a Walmart vest would score him free beer.

Beers We’re Drinking:


Greg’s half-medicated and sipping Coke Zero while Flex steers the ship, and Erica settles right in with talk about her Dollar Tree obsession and their questionable bathrooms. The crew gives a shoutout to London for suddenly becoming the show’s top listening city and tries to figure out what they did to earn that kind of spike. Erica shares her Beer Babes weekend—six women, one pool, and a sneaky Smirnoff Ice prank that left everyone chugging and cursing her name—while Flex calls it “very yin and yang.” Things roll into postseason drinking habits, with Greg admitting he drinks more during football playoffs out of nerves and Flex confessing he celebrates quietly like a mime in a house full of women. And Flex decides to scar us with LeBron’s feet; don’t Google it. 

Booze News:

  • Michelob Ultra tops Bud Light as America’s best-selling beer by volume.
  • Godzilla invades PBR with monster can art hitting 60 million packages.
  • Funkwerks calls it quits on their Fort Collins taproom after 15 years.
  • Asahi gets hacked, leaving Japan’s biggest brewer unable to ship beer.
  • “Regular Greg” arrested after trying to steal beer in a Walmart vest.

Craft At Your ServiceWelcome to Craft Beer Republic, where Greg is still hoping Flex will start thwipping webs, but instead he’s dropping ketchup confessions that belong in therapy. From trivia heartbreak and ear-splitting concerts to taproom food debates and QR code ordering fails, the guys are pouring plenty of laughs. And in Booze News, Charlie Sheen is making NA beer, investors are claiming their cash funded Netflix binges, and Michigan introduces us to the legal level of “super drunk.” 

Beer Reviews


Flex may not be Spider-Man, but he’s mastered the “thwip” sound effect, much to Greg’s confusion. Paso Robles shows up as the top listening city, and Greg jokes about slapping QR codes in questionable places to boost downloads. The guys trade stories of trivia heartbreak after losing a championship by two points, and Greg explains why sitting too close to a live band nearly rattled his brain loose. Flex admits his lifelong ketchup obsession—from cucumbers to butter sandwiches—while Greg is left reeling and questioning everything he thought he knew about his co-host. The conversation takes a serious turn into taproom talk, where food, service, and post-COVID changes make or break a brewery visit.

Booze News:

  • Charlie Sheen jumps into NA beer with Wild AF Brewing.
  • Investors sue Island Brands, claiming their cash went to Netflix, Xbox, and Starbucks runs.
  • Brewers Association asks the DOJ to bust outdated beer laws that protect the big guys.
  • Michigan man goes “super drunk” with a .258 BAC after a loud argument.

This week, Flex is turning into Spider-Man (but with zero powers and 40 antibiotics), Greg witnesses a Michelin-level icing, and a Mighty Mighty Packer fan gets roasted into ska silence. There’s throw up on the streets, superhero origin stories gone wrong, and a listener check-in that might make you swear off off-flavors forever. There's even a pants-less guy running from the cops!

Beers We’re Drinking:

  • Greg is drinking Oktoberfest from Sierra Nevada and Störtebeker with it’s clean, crisp festbier vibes.
  • Flex is… not drinking, thanks to a radioactive spider bite. Flex is riding the sober train this episode. The Tongue-jobber is on IR.

Flex kicks things off with his failed Spider-Man origin story, courtesy of a nasty spider bite that led to red streaks, lymph node swelling, and enough antibiotics to knock out a horse. Greg, on the other hand, witnesses the most elegant Smirnoff Ice ambush of all time—complete with shaved ice, table service, and a sommelier delivering the final blow. Flex also takes us through his first Packer game, where he downs a heroic amount of booze, beefs with a ska-loving fan, and ends up vomiting like a legend at a four-way stop. To top it all off, listeners write in with some truly horrific beer stories, featuring everything from burnt rubber and wet cardboard to denture cream and broken dreams. It's a cautionary tale of off-flavors and overindulgence you won’t want to miss.

Booze News:

  • Antigua Brewing closes abruptly — San Luis Obispo taproom shut down with no warning.
  • East Brother Beer opening new SF taproom — New “Rec Room” taproom launches in the Metreon.
  • Call to Arms Brewing to shut down — Denver brewery announces permanent closure in December.
  • 21st Amendment layoffs confirmed — 76 employees impacted as closure moves forward.

Greg and Flex are back and thirstier than ever—thankfully, they’re also well-hydrated and hilariously unhinged. This week’s episode is full of bold beer moves, both brilliant and brainless. We’re talking awkward Monkish moments, beer line PTSD, and what happens when you try to impress your kids with a fuzzy can label. Plus, Flex lays down some deep craft beer philosophy while Greg just wants to toss fruit salad on a beach. Throw in some Florida Man chaos and a new installment of Ludicrous Libation Law™, and you’ve got an episode juicier than a fresh double dry-hopped pour. Let’s get sudsy.

Beers We’re Drinking:


Greg recounts a recent work trip detour that ended in wings, hazies, and a Monkish beertender with the personality of a wet bar rag. Flex gets emotional over brewery loyalty (and a killer mustache), while both hosts spiral into the decline of beer club perks and the days when brewery releases actually felt special. We dive into pandemic beer pickups, some honest facial hair confessions, and the kind of skincare talk you didn’t know you needed. And just when you think they can’t get any more hipster, Greg casually reveals his coffee subscription and home grinding setup—because of course he did. Also, Flex may have just invented the world’s most wholesome beer parenting moment.

We’re talking pocket pancakes at ballgames, party houses outside Lambeau, and beers so bad they come with a trauma response. A listener shares the legend of a poop-flavored pint, which spirals into confessions about dirty lines, old cans, and hazies that somehow pour clear. Big breweries are calling it quits, Florida Man takes to his lawn mower, and it’s time to vote for beer!

Beers We’re Drinking:

  • Flex is drinking: Watermelon Wavelength – More Brewing Co. A tart, juicy gose so good he went back to buy another just for the show.
  • Greg is drinking: Cloud Racer Hazy IPA – All Season Brewing. Surprisingly bitter, slightly boozy, and possibly old enough to vote.

Tailgating in Wisconsin is a whole different world when party houses near Lambeau turn into backyard bars. Other weird Wisconsin sports traditions? Pancakes in your pockets. Listener Gabe writes in with a legendary poop beer story, which kicks off a full therapy session about beers gone bad. From mislabeled IPAs to sunscreen-flavored Modelo, what gets you to send back some nasty beer? That also leads us to Trader Joe’s mystery beer bags, sketchy movie theater beer taps, and a few beers that should’ve never made it to the draft list in the first place.

This week we’re raising a glass (a black one, no less) to beer research, 90s nostalgia, and the fine art of being pleasantly hydrated. Greg’s got beef with hazy IPA ratings, Flex lets the Tongue-jobber run wild, and Erica schools us on peak beach beer game. Also, Oktoberfest vibes are already rolling in, and someone might’ve confessed to loving banana Runts. Might’ve. There’s a whole lot of laughing, a little education, and a surprising amount of cargo short appreciation. Grab a beer, open your mind, and maybe skip the Irish car bomb.

Beer’s We’re Drinking:

  • Greg is drinking Infinite Universe by Everywhere Brewing x Tripping Animals — soft mouthfeel, white grape vibes, chuggably smooth.
  • Flex cracks open Rabbit by Trillium — classic West Coast, citrusy with a light malt bite, but no fireworks.
  • Erica sips Peaked in the 90s by Movement Brewing x Altamont — peachy haze, crushable nostalgia in a can.

Denver takes the crown as our top listening city (what’s up, Mile High homies!), and the crew dives headfirst into Oktoberfest feels—minus any actual travel to Munich. Erica channels the ‘90s with beer and smiley faces, Flex has childhood flashbacks involving Trillium cans, and Greg invents a whole new beer-tasting experience involving mystery glasses and fancy wine logic.

We also learn important life lessons: banana Runts are divisive, black glass tastings make beer nerds feel classy, and sometimes the best way to enjoy a slim can is just to imagine you’re being healthy. Also, yes—you can fit two in your cargo shorts. Probably three if you try.

  • Wiseacre Acquires Bearded Iris — Home Style now with Memphis flair

From wild seltzer collabs and trivia smackdowns to birthday shenanigans and beer with literal Swedish Fish in it, this episode covers all the essentials: beer, banter, and questionable karaoke decisions. Also, turns out Greg and Flex are both pretty passionate about Taylor Swift, and Erica may or may not have danced sober at a silent disco. Don’t judge—just pour yourself something delicious and jump into the good times.

 Beers We’re Drinking:

  • Greg cracks open Lutefisk from Old Irving Brewing (with Chaos Brew Club) – A kettle-soured Swedish Fish beer.
  • Erica sips on West Coast IPA by pFriem Family Brewers – Bright, crisp, and slightly dank.
  • Flex dives into Tropics in the Toes from Young Blood Beer Co. – a mango and raspberry sour IPA.

Erica’s back and gearing up for her Beer Babes collab event with a majestic purple peach seltzer (brewed by badass women only, of course). Greg celebrated his birthday by beating the trivia pants off a pizza place team and stealing their gift card like a champ. The gang reflects on past GABF shenanigans, including silent disco disasters, missed lucha libre sightings, and questionable food decisions. Also, we learned Flex has Taylor Swift on shower rotation, Greg hates Oasis, and Erica might have a nose as sensitive as a drug dog. It’s all very on-brand.

Booze News:

  • Boston Beer Breakups – Truly LA and Angel City Brewing are both getting the axe
  • Three Weavers Goes Chapter 11 – LA brewery hits tough times but fights on
  • Boston Beer CEO Steps Down – Jim Koch is back in charge of the mothership
  • High Noon Recall – Some cans labeled as energy drinks were actually vodka sodas. Surprise buzz!
  • Oasis Reunion = Pint Party – Wembley sells over 250k beers per night, making Coldplay and Swift look like lightweights

]]>Welcome in, thirsty friends! We’ve got Flex, Greg, and the one and only Erica back in the mix—and things get juicy real quick. From wild seltzer collabs and trivia smackdowns to birthday shenanigans and beer with literal Swedish Fish in it, this episode covers all the essentials: beer, banter, and questionable karaoke decisions. Also, turns out Greg and Flex are both pretty passionate about Taylor Swift, and Erica may or may not have danced sober at a silent disco.

What starts as a casual morning tasting quickly becomes a deep dive into Jan’s beer journey, from drinking High Life in high school to running one of Colorado’s most respected breweries.

Over a lineup of OMF’s best beers — Keller Pils, Sunny Kölsch, Stingray Jesus West Coast IPA, Neon Nail Hazy IPA, and Little Character English Brown — Greg and Jan dig into how the brewery grew from a one-barrel setup into an award-winning neighborhood spot. They talk about brewing the beers they actually want to drink, Colorado-grown malt and hops, collaborations, Denver’s evolving craft beer scene, and why OMF avoids chasing trends.

There’s plenty of brewer-level nerd talk (floor malting, hop selection, water chemistry), but always in the spirit of keeping craft beer fun and approachable. They also get into OMF’s community work, from nonprofit partnerships to Pride merch that benefits local LGBTQ+ groups.

Because no Craft Beer Republic episode is complete without some fun, Greg closes the interview with rapid-fire questions about guilty pleasure beers, dream beer trips, and hangover cures. It’s the kind of beer podcast conversation that feels like hanging at the bar with a friend who just happens to make incredible beer.

Flex returns from a whirlwind trip to Nashville that involved banjos, birthday beer, and a suspiciously bougie breakfast buffet. Meanwhile, Greg brings tales from Colorado where he drank his way through the Rockies, crushed trivia, and found himself in the middle of a country concert and a lightning storm at Red Rocks. Plus, one of them may have developed a deep spiritual bond with a beer bottle that looks like it belongs in a drawer marked "private." Let’s just say it’s one hell of a ride this week.

Beers We’re Drinking:


Flex's one-day trip to Nashville could only be described as "country chaos meets luxury carbs." From a jaw-dropping resort buffet to a surprise country concert at the Grand Ole Opry, he covered more ground in 24 hours than most of us do in a week—and he still found time for overpriced Paulaner and cheap mountain dew. Meanwhile, Greg’s Colorado birthday bash included first class flights, boozy bar crawls, and trivia domination (or at least participation). The highlight? Seeing Andrew McMahon at Red Rocks under a lightning-lit sky while sippin' road sodas. There was also a ton of beer research, and an appearance by NoHo Hank.

Greg’s rocking a forehead bruise after losing a fight with a boat trailer, Flex is giving Kentucky beer some serious love, and a guy at the airport got so obliterated he took an unexpected exit—escorted, of course. Greg also discovered the mystery of the half-pint pour while wandering the Bay Area, and the guys debate who’d make the best beer buddy among the founding fathers (spoiler: Ben Franklin’s a party). Lots of stories, lots of laughs, and even more reasons to double-check your pint size.

Beer We’re Drinking:

  • Greg is drinking Hops Are Flowers by North Park Beer Co. – A triple-dry-hopped tropical juice bomb that’s smooth, fragrant, and dangerously drinkable. Daddy’s rocked.
  • Flex brings Witness the Citrus by Country Boy Brewing – A Kentucky haze full of citrus and tropical mango, with low carb and easy-drinking vibes. Tongue-jobber approved.

Greg’s recent travel saga included wine-sipping in Paso Robles for his birthday (tap-ass style) and nearly knocking himself out trying to load a boat. His forehead may say otherwise, but he swears it wasn’t a concussion. He also took a long, definitely unnecessary, walk across the Bay Area to visit Wondrous Brewing—only to get hit with a mysterious half-pint surprise.

Meanwhile, Flex dropped some serious praise on Kentucky’s underdog beer scene and shared a touching plan to surprise his daughter with a Nashville birthday trip. We also learned a valuable lesson: if you're drunk enough to break glass at the airport wine bar, security will gladly escort you off your flight… and probably out of your vacation.

And just in case you’ve been losing sleep wondering which founding father would be best to crush a beer with—Ben Franklin took top honors, George Washington got side-eyed, and Flex would still rather have a pint with Abe Lincoln (bear-wrestling beard and all).

  • Ryanair passengers get soaked in booze mid-flight—cheers?

This week on Craft Beer Republic, Flex, the Louisville Chugger, is back from his road trip all over the east-ish part of the south. He’s got tales of missed opportunities, life-changing beers, and kids riding ponies. Greg is currently on a road trip and is drinking local to pass the time. Hulk Hogan is being sued over his beer, breweries are closing up shop, and a driver in California is really drinking on the go!

Beers We’re Drinking:

  • Greg visits the local bottle shop and picks up Recursion IPA from Bottle Logic Brewing in Anaheim.
  • Flex picks up what he thinks is the best beer ever; Bootsy Brewski from Fretboard Brewing.

Flex tells us all about his road trip. He survived the family road trip through Ohio and Kentucky without having to hurt anyone, good for him! He kicked things off in Cincinnati with a meal so good he couldn’t stand up afterwards. And the beer he had was life changing… but could he ever find it again? Then he ended up at Jungle Jim’s grocery store with world class bathrooms and beers you can drink while you shop. He then jumped over to Kentucky for some horse riding, no bourbon tasting, and a mortgage payment worth of souvenirs at Buc-ee’s. 

In the News Flight: Silver City Brewing is sold, Urban Chestnut acquires O’Fallon Beer brands, and Denver’s TRVE Brewing is closing down.

  • A California driver got pulled over with a few too many roadies in the car.

Greg’s rocking an ice pack and Flex is diving into seltzer science—but don’t worry, this is still very much a beer podcast. The guys compare notes on wild beer adventures, including a boys' day out that turned into a Casa Agria treasure hunt and a seltzer experiment involving soft serve ice cream. Plus, Erica calls in drunk from Alaska to challenge the state’s infamous beer laws, and the guys debate whether Yuengling is actually just “meh” or just hard to get. Also, Greg’s trying to age gracefully while still launching off wakes, and Flex’s kids are choosing beers with names that make ten-year-olds giggle.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  • Greg is drinking Casa Agria’s Space Craze Hazy IPA – Out-of-this-world juiciness, hazy perfection, and stone fruit for days.
  • Flex is drinking More Brewing’s Little Space Booties – DDH session pale ale, herbaceous and green, but too hoppy for its britches.

Greg gets out of a dance recital and right into a brewery crawl—with backup from Marty the Brew Pup and intern Brian. Meanwhile, Flex reveals that his kids picked his beer based solely on the word “booties,” and it honestly checks out. Erica the outlaw comes in , a nostalgic breakfast burrito craving sparked by Qdoba talk, and Greg makes it clear he’ll take back pain if it means more wakeboarding. Plus, we get the tragic tale of a head brewer who can’t drink his own beer anymore, and Flex tells us why soft serve seltzers may be the weirdest delicious thing you didn’t know you needed.

Flex’s kids play a dangerous game of beer roulette, Greg recounts his wakeboarding-induced soreness (and pride), and both share 4th of July plans that include everything from action movie marathons to borderline-illegal fireworks. Plus, we finally find out how many hot dogs America can throw down in one day and dive into the chaotic brilliance that is Buc-ee’s. Also, someone might’ve created the worst beer game ever—thanks, Malort.

Beer’s We’re Drinking:

  • Flex is drinking Fogsicle from Abomination Brewing, a sour DIPA with peach, vanilla, and marshmallow vibes.
  • Greg cracks open Within Us from Anchorage Brewing. A juicy double hazy with citrus and a bitter kick.

Flex’s kids strike again, picking out a beer that sounds like dessert and looks like a metal album cover—and somehow it’s amazing. Meanwhile, Greg survives some very dad-level wakeboarding and shares tales of forgotten beers and even more forgettable brewery service. Flex is off to Cincinnati and Louisville, with stops at bourbon distilleries and—wait for it—a pilgrimage to Buc-ee’s. The duo reminisces about the joys of drinking on high school grounds (legally-ish), and Greg spills the wine about his fancy Fourth of July plans that include movies and laundry. Also, happy early birthday to Flex—don’t send him anything. Seriously.

This week on Craft Beer Republic, Greg and Flex are feeling extra old, extra nostalgic, and just the right amount of buzzed. We're talking Muppets, dry grad parties (gross), and why opening a tab isn’t just polite—it’s efficient, damn it! Plus, Greg dabbles with a THC experiment, and Flex gets his mind changed mid-sip by a honey-drenched DIPA. Also, Psycho Bear emerges from hibernation with a voicemail challenge that includes horses, darts, and hopefully nothing that ends with Greg on a true crime podcast. It’s everything you love about Craft Beer Republic—good beers, big laughs, and even bigger opinions.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  • Greg is drinking Galaxy Traveling Scientist by Hop Butcher for the World — Dank nose, citrus tongue jobber, hazy surprise.
  • Flex is sipping Mosaic Cutting Tiles by Trillium — Dry finish, honeyed shock, peachy evolution.

Episode Highlights

Flex confesses his undying love for the Swedish Chef while Greg tries to remember what the hell an Erlenmeyer flask is. They bond over dry graduation parties (ew), share tales of teenage sneaking-around, and try to figure out why today’s kids aren’t drinking or hooking up. Greg recalls his teenage genius in evading a parental walk-in, and Flex nearly sheds a tear watching neighborhood kids play his old-school drinking game. And Greg does some dabbling with a THC cocktail. Also: seltzer-mosas are officially a thing (sorry, not sorry).

This week’s episode is tart, tangy, and packed full of laughs—Greg and Flex accidentally twinsies their way into a sour-off, proving once again that great minds drink alike. Greg gets VIP treatment at a local beer fest (even if he has no idea what that means), there’s a hunt for Flex in the wilds of Milwaukee, and somehow Chew Your Beer runs into Coley and BDN in the middle of a baseball circus. There’s also some family time, a little heat, and Flex has to go on a big apology tour.

Beers We’re Drinking

  • Greg is drinking Tropícal Brut from Blue Owl Brewing – A funky, fruity sour with a dry Brut finish that hits perfectly on a hot day.
  • Flex is sipping on Ooey Gooey Guy by The Brewing Projekt – Basically a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in a glass, and somehow it totally works.

There’s a full-on Flex hunt going down in Milwaukee, but Vanessa and her hubby end up at the wrong Eagle Park. Meanwhile, Greg enjoys VIP status at Topa Topa’s 10th anniversary bash and may or may not have figured out what "VIP" actually means.

Flex gets real about palate sabotage via Tex-Mex trail mix (a very specific flavor crime), and issues a heartfelt apology to the breweries he unjustly judged last week. There’s also a touching moment of family bonding—Flex celebrates a belated Father’s Day with his kids, beer shopping included, while Greg endures the mariachi madness of a boozy brunch. Plus, the guys trade stories about cheap Midwest beer, Topo Chico price hacks, and playing lawn darts like it’s 1979.

And of course, Chew Your Beer calls in with stories about his chemical engineering kids, LA Beer Week, and a wild run-in with Nicole and Big Dick Nick at a Savannah Bananas game. Peak chaos. Peak CBR.

]]>Welcome in, craft beer lovers! This week’s episode is tart, tangy, and packed full of laughs—Greg and Flex accidentally twinsies their way into a sour-off, proving once again that great minds drink alike. Greg gets VIP treatment at a local beer fest (even if he has no idea what that means), there’s a hunt for Flex in the wilds of Milwaukee, and somehow Chew Your Beer runs into Coley and BDN in the middle of a baseball circus. There’s also some family time, a little heat, and Flex has to go on a big apology tour.

Beers We’re Drinking

  • Greg is drinking Tropícal Brut from Blue Owl Brewing – A funky, fruity sour with a dry Brut finish that hits perfectly on a hot day.
  • Flex is sipping on Ooey Gooey Guy by The Brewing Projekt – Basically a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in a glass, and somehow it totally works.

There’s a full-on Flex hunt going down in Milwaukee, but Vanessa and her hubby end up at the wrong Eagle Park. Meanwhile, Greg enjoys VIP status at Topa Topa’s 10th anniversary bash and may or may not have figured out what "VIP" actually means.

This week, Greg returns from his Florida “vacation” with tales of heat-induced hallucinations, a surprise parking ticket sting operation, and chain restaurant dining nightmares. Meanwhile, Flex endures a major letdown from one of his most hyped beers, and Greg thankfully redeems the week with a dreamy Colorado hazy. We’re also diving into some ludicrous libation laws and a Florida-fueled Booze News lineup that includes public urination (of course), karaoke belts, and Hulk Hogan’s potential empire expansion. It’s sweaty, it’s silly, and it’s exactly the escape you need. Join the Republic!!

Beer Reviews


Flex kicks things off with high hopes and a glorious pour, only to be betrayed by the mighty Voltron. What starts as fresh pineapple nose bliss ends in disappointment and a borderline drain pour (but hey, at least the can art slaps). Greg takes us through his humid, sweat-soaked Florida trip, complete with passing-out grandparents, a "pay for your own" graduation lunch, and a surprise parking ticket at the hands of a lurking enforcer.

Despite the chain restaurant circuit and weather described as "living in a mouth," Greg finds a few worthy brewery stops in Tampa—finally landing a winner at Ology Brewing. He also somehow manages to survive a karaoke-belt-worthy bar owned by Hulk Hogan (yep, that’s real). Along the way, Flex and Greg uncover some very scientific coffee ratio grievances and debate the merits of chain dining while dehydrated.

Booze News

  • Craft Beer Giants Keep Shrinking: 6 of the top 10 lose volume in 2024.
  • Boston Beer’s Big Belly Flop: 320k barrels down, ouch.
  • Hulk Hogan Wants to Buy Hooters… Turns out Pastamania wasn’t enough.
  • Florida Man Bingo: Drunk driver hits pedestrian, urinates in cop car, and says racist stuff—all in one night

Greg and Flex are talking Memorial Day misadventures, from Flex dominating the annual backyard game of HORSE (while drinking, of course) to Greg accidentally attending a fired coworker’s awkward wedding reception-only party. There’s sangria, journey cover bands, Uber pukers, meth pants (yes, really), and a whole lot of laughs. This one is packed tighter than Flex’s fridge on a Friday night.

Beers We’re Drinking:


Flex absolutely crushes the family basketball tourney, holding court and a triple IPA at the same time. And yes, he sent a victory pic with a plastic horse as his trophy—because that’s what legends do. Meanwhile, Greg found himself in the middle of a very small, very weird wedding reception where the bride and groom were 45 minutes late and the DJ was out here cranking the volume instead of vibes. Later in the show, things take a sharp turn into backseat disaster territory as the guys swap stories about puke in cars—who’s thrown up, who’s cleaned it up, and where Uber drivers draw the line. But the weekend got saved by a lake day, backyard beers, and a gummy-powered Journey cover band concert. Also, shoutout to Riverside (the city, not the software), and hello again to our friends in the Netherlands. Apparently, we’re big in places with excellent healthcare and dial-up speed internet.

Booze News:

  • RIP to Highland Brewing founder Oscar Wong, the godfather of craft in North Carolina
  • Great Divide is closing two Denver taprooms—RIP to post-Rockies beers
  • A woman gets caught with meth in her pants and a 1970 Camaro
  • Uber driver dumps drunk passengers on the highway. Drama ensues.
  • Topo Chico confusion: not all seltzer is boozy, people!

Greg’s got his lab coat and is back on his “beer research” grind, while Flex finds out what happens when brunch in a can goes sideways. The guys dive into beer horoscopes, swap stories from their younger (dumber) days, trade booze for cheeseburgers, and try to make sense of a USPS driver who decided vodka pairs well with mail delivery.

Beers We’re Drinking:


Greg and Flex dive headfirst into beer horoscopes, debating whether anyone actually enjoys saisons or if sweat socks are just part of the experience. What’s your beer sign? A trip down memory lane brings stories of red-light scavenger hunts and some drunken conveyor belt races at the grocery store. One late-night drive thru turns into a cheeseburger-for-booze trade that somehow pays off. Flex gets into a stare-down with traffic-blocking geese, and Greg rediscovers the lost art of beer hunting at a neighborhood spot that finally brings the fun back. And hype breweries, are they worth the hype?

Greg and Flex are reunited and it feels so good! Greg's got travel stories, Flex gets philosophical about Four Loko, and there's a surprise “icing” that might go down in family history. We talk about doing beer research (the hard-hitting journalism the people deserve), weird off-flavors thanks to shipping beers, and Greg’s never ending beer trip. We’ve got a listener voicemail, and Florida Man get’s an ATV.

Beers We're Drinking

  • Greg is sipping Grazing Clouds by Mountains Walking—a juicy banger with a suspicious funky twist.
  • Flex cracks Muscle for Rank from Drekker Brewing—tropical haze with mango vibes, but the peach ghosted him.

Greg get’s denied entry to San Francisco Brewing Co after a cable car and too much walking, but redeems it all with a Nerds-rimmed sour and a classic Irish coffee. Flex tests his old man drinking tolerance with a beer fridge cleanout including a 12% stout. Hangovers just hit different these days. After some winetasting and a failed wakeboard trip, Greg’s wife becomes the MVP of the family by hiding Smirnoff Ices in a baby shower diaper cake. Pablo calls in to give props to Flex and throwdown some education. Flex finally has his first Four Loko. And we break down the reasons why you should stop buying beer. 

Booze News

  • TTB Tax Pilot Program: Good news for brewery owners who like fewer forms and more beer.
  • Instacart Launches “Fizz”: It’s like Drizly with group orders and shared tabs. Cue the lazy party planners rejoicing.
  • Corona Sunbrew O: Because lime-flavored beer water wasn’t citrusy enough.
  • Modelo Oro in Bottles: Light, tasty, and now bottle-ized for all your beachy needs.
  • Monster’s Alcohol Sales Tank: Nasty Beast Hard Tea isn’t exactly flying off shelves. Wonder why.

He’s also got a drunken wedding conundrum that he needs your help with. We’ve also got some big World Beer Cup winners, a drunk driver came in through the window, and a teacher shows up drunk with plenty of party favors in her purse.

Greg was slangin’ dough! 42 pies to be exact. He got drunk and made a bunch of pizzas at a birthday party, full of saucy drama and ungrateful customers. Flex has a new whip and can’t stand driving around this titanic beast on his way to the golf course. He’s also got a weird wedding situation coming up; should he go to the weird food-court reception?

This week on Craft Beer Republic, Greg and Flex are celebrating Cinco de Mayo in peak craft beer fashion—with tacos, questionable Spanish, and beers that made them emotional. Greg relives a hilariously overpriced glass of hotel wine, Flex gets gifted a beer born from Arbor Day insanity, and they both spiral into stories about painkillers, Vicodin-induced brother fights, and how not to behave on an airplane. Plus, they dish on the proper tipping etiquette, bobble some beer history, and maybe crown Wisconsin as the birthplace of beer (move over, monks).

Beers We're Drinking

  • Greg is sipping on Enlightened Energy from Radiant Beer Co.—a hazy pale, bursting with tropical juice.
  • Flex cracks open Our Bar Day from Explorium Brewpub—an American lager brewed in celebration of Arbor Day.

It’s a full-on fiesta as Greg and Flex record on Cinco de Mayo and try to remember the actual meaning behind the holiday (spoiler: not Independence Day). Greg shares a wild hotel wine story that ends with a $28 glass of regret and a serious tipping debate. Flex talks Arbor Day beers and celebrates a friend-turned-beer-delivery-guy who dropped off a hometown special. The two dive into past Vicodin adventures—including Flex falsely accusing his brother of theft during withdrawal sweats—and laugh through the horrors of wisdom teeth surgery. They also dish on the reaction from last week’s episode with Steph, clear the air about Flex’s “mad” vibes, and theorize about Utah’s new hockey team names (sadly, not the Sister Wives). And yes, they do their best to avoid sounding like drug addicts. Mostly.

Welcome in, beer nerds! This week is packed with laughs, swishes, and suds as Flex may or may not swirl his stout, Greg brags about his elite-level taco guy, and Steph returns to shake things up with her crispy takes and Kolsch-fueled wisdom. Steph also drops her wisdom from the brewers guild and is knee-deep in beerfest planning while Flex is letting his kids pick out his beer and Greg gets classy drunk (again). 

Beers We’re Drinking

  • Flex is sipping on Teddy Bear Kisses by Upland Brewing, a boozy, bourbon-barreled stout that's shockingly smooth and deeply chocolatey.
  • Steph is enjoying a Kolsch from Bohemian Brewery in Salt Lake City—crisp, traditional, and unapologetically coffee-free.
  • Greg cracks open Here’s to Feeling Good All the Time by Bissell Brothers, a dank and piney DIPA that could use a little less malt and a little more chill.

Steph crashes the party again, and things immediately derail—mostly thanks to Flex’s stout-swirling scandal that launches an all-out war over what actually counts as a “swish.” Greg tries to keep order but gets sidetracked bragging about his personal taco guy (yes, that’s a thing), sparking a full-blown culinary class divide. The gang confesses to drinking more wine and seltzer than beer these days, which might be blasphemy on a craft beer podcast, but hey—hydration matters. And Steph tells us all about the planning of her upcoming beer festival: the Great Beer Mashup!

Booze News

  • 🍸 California distillery sues New York for playing hard to ship—just let the booze flow already.
  • 🍺 Utah’s got a beer fest where actual brewers pour the beer—imagine that.

Welcome in, hydration nation! This week’s episode is bursting at the seams with hilarious stories, awkward encounters, and beer nerd gold. Greg and Flex are joined by the always-awesome Steph, executive director of the Utah Brewers Guild and part-time chalice queen. From the depths of WrestleMania weekend to a seltzer-fueled solo Vegas trip and a hilarious Riverside takedown, the gang covers it all. We’re talkin’ collab-heavy beer fests, weird assless cowboy encounters on the Strip, the Florida party that should’ve been a movie, and whether or not Flex's jorts have enough flower embroidery. It’s the perfectly ridiculous mix of craft beer talk and complete nonsense you didn’t know you needed.

Greg & Flex – Blind Pig IPA – Russian River Brewing. A crisp West Coast classic that sparked a hoppy debate between the boys.

Steph – Brainless Belgian Ale (Sake Barrel Aged) – Epic Brewing. A boozy, berry-packed beauty with a sake twist that Steph couldn't resist.

Greg's solo Vegas adventure quickly turned from adulting to Topo Chico chugging while dodging cowboy strippers in assless chaps. Meanwhile, Flex got dragged for his questionable jorts, though his “apple bottom” did earn some respect. Steph gave us the inside scoop on planning Utah’s most exciting beer fest, where brewers team up for one-time-only collabs and serve their own creations—it’s like beer nerd Comic-Con with more yeast. There was also a heartfelt shoutout to salty pretzel necklaces, a heated debate about malt bombs, and the tragic tale of Flex’s friend whose girlfriend dumped him immediately after listening to the podcast. Honestly, we can’t blame her—it was probably during the "Tipsy on Tits" segment teaser.

]]>Welcome to Utah, Where the Beers Are Weird and the People Are Funnier

Welcome in, hydration nation! This week’s episode is bursting at the seams with hilarious stories, awkward encounters, and beer nerd gold. Greg and Flex are joined by the always-awesome Steph, executive director of the Utah Brewers Guild and part-time chalice queen. From the depths of WrestleMania weekend to a seltzer-fueled solo Vegas trip and a hilarious Riverside takedown, the gang covers it all. We’re talkin’ collab-heavy beer fests, weird assless cowboy encounters on the Strip, the Florida party that should’ve been a movie, and whether or not Flex's jorts have enough flower embroidery. It’s the perfectly ridiculous mix of craft beer talk and complete nonsense you didn’t know you needed.

There’s a brutally honest review of a lime-flavored lager, a trip to the legendary Billy Goat Tavern, and some thoughts on just how far you should go for good tacos and fresh churros. Greg shares his plans to get classy wine drunk in Malibu, Flex defends his ridiculous beer choice, and somehow we end up talking family lineage, rude bartenders, and one man’s DUI with a blood alcohol level straight out of a horror movie.

Beers We’re Drinking

  • Greg is drinking Voltron Volume Seven from 4 Hands Brewing—juicy, hazy, and a little tongue-coaty.
  • Flex cracks open Leinie Lodge Lime by Leinenkugel’s—a limey lager that’s more summer lawnmower beer than craft cred.

Flex is buzzin’ after a couple of Leinies and recaps his trip to Chicago—complete with a melty ice cream museum, a free zoo, the biggest (and booziest) Starbucks, and an angry bartender at a legendary cheeseburger joint. Greg’s gearing up for a wine-soaked taco party in Malibu, and the guys debate chocolate ribbons vs chips, stress over Apple CarPlay shortcuts, and dig into Greg’s unexpectedly legal Mormon lineage.

Booze News

  • PBR Lite is back and ready for your cooler.
  • Anheuser-Busch bails on St. Louis Pride after three decades.
  • Hooters files for bankruptcy—turns out the wings couldn't save 'em.
  • Allagash sets up shop inside Citi Field—Mr. Met approves.
  • Left Hand and Dry Dock team up for a Colorado craft shake-up.
  • Florida man arrested for drunk driving… on an e-bike… with a BAC that would kill a small elephant.

Greg’s breaking his beer dry spell and kicking things off with Flex, who’s fresh from some spicy tailgating. We’re diving into champagne-fueled weekends, overpriced ballpark beers, and a voicemail from a familiar voice who’s calling us out over one of the Midwest’s best beer fests. Plus, we’re brainstorming odd business ideas, sharing travel stories gone weird, and doing what we do best—cracking cold ones and cracking each other up.

Beers We're Drinking


Greg’s back on the beer train after a week of wine and champagne-fueled mayhem—including his first DoorDash booze run and a brunch that spiraled into bubbly debauchery. Meanwhile, Flex hit up the Brewers home opener for overpriced beers and underwhelming baseball but made up for it with Ziploc chips and spicy ranch water regrets. A voicemail from Brian gets the gang buzzing about the Great Taste of the Midwest. And just when you think it can’t get weirder, things spiral into Vegas tales, topless espresso stops, and a brand-new entrepreneurial idea that could only come from the minds of two beer-drinking degenerates.

  • Stone Distributing acquired by Hand Family Companies, ending its independent run.
  • Great Divide Brewing sold to Wilding, parent company of Stem Ciders and Denver Beer Co.
  • Founders Brewing now fully owned by Mahou San Miguel following complete acquisition.

Greg picks apart a beer with a wall of hops, Flex describes his beer like it came from a pharmacy, and Erica tries to survive a co-ed volleyball league full of 20-something savages. And Sacramento as a beer destination? Doubt it. It’s good to be back.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  • Greg is drinking Double Dry-Hopped Alien Church from Tired Hands Brewing—a hazy IPA with alien lizards on the can and a tropical punch to the face.
  • Erica is sipping Slap and Tickle from Brewery X—an herbal, melon-leaning IPA she only found because a BevMo guy might’ve been flirting.
  • Flex is rocking Simcoe Traveling Scientist from Hop Butcher—a hazy pale ale that somehow tastes like pine, orange, and maybe Robitussin.

Flex kicks things off with a hipster joke that somehow manages to be worse than circus peanuts. Erica settles back in like she never left, diving headfirst into chocolate debates, candy nostalgia, and the horror of being the “old one” on a volleyball team called the Glitter Hitters. Greg gets stuck on bingo at breweries—are they fun, or just a red flag in disguise?—and everyone agrees music bingo might be the only acceptable form. There’s talk of trail mix obsessions, Sacramento truths, and how hard it is to jump once you hit your 40s. Also, Flex reveals his secret talent: reciting the alphabet backwards... for very Wisconsin reasons.

Booze News

  • Sierra Nevada cancels Beer Camp and Oktoberfest—RIP adult day drinking
  • New England beer sales are up, because variety is the spice of life (and beer)
  • Willie Nelson’s new tonic is THC-infused and alcohol-free… just like your weird uncle

This week, Flex brings the beer snobbery, Greg’s hotter than a sun-soaked stout, and Erica’s fresh off the salty seas with snacks and hazies. We’re talking beer mix-ups, birthday voicemails, blackout rage gallons, and how Flex is emotionally scarred by a mislabeled IPA. There’s also news on MobCraft’s comeback, Delirium’s shipping spree, and a Florida man story that’s peak Florida. Grab your pretzel necklace and let’s party like it’s the Pink Pony—just, y’know, with less fire.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  • Greg cracks open Keeping Time from WeldWerks—a hazy that started rough but warmed up nicely.
  • Erica sips Shred-Head from Evergreen Brewing—sent straight from PA with pretzels and passion fruit vibes.
  • Flex breaks out Citra Cream from Phase Three—a pillowy, tropical cream bomb he’d hook up to his water fountain if he could.

Flex’s beer snob moment at dinner ends with a bruised ego and a canceled pint, while Erica’s kids are out here calling anything in a can “beer” like it’s totally normal. Greg relives a suspiciously clear “hazy” that sent him down a spiral, and somehow everyone ends up bonding over beer trauma. The crew discovers the chaotic world of BORGs—blackout rage gallons are officially a thing—and Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day scene might be even wilder than expected. Chew Your Beer checks in with birthday vibes and beer fest plans, and Greg casually drops that his nephew was born on 3:16 and is now destined to live in jorts and wrestling tees. And Flex might’ve found his dream life in Chicago’s unlimited ice cream museum.

Booze News:

  • MobCraft Rises Again: New owners take a $160K gamble on Milwaukee’s most inconsistent brewery.
  • Canada’s Presidential Pack: Moosehead sells out of their beer-a-day-for-four-years crate—because obviously.
  • Delirium Dumps the Tank: 300,000 liters are en route to beat the tariff apocalypse.
  • Florida Man Strikes Again: Drunk dude sets strip club on fire, adds a little... splash for the cops.

Greg and Flex are back to quench your thirst for craft beer and questionable decision-making. This week, Greg takes a “totally unplanned” trip to San Francisco Beer Week (sure, buddy) and manages to turn a simple bay cruise into an elite-level beer smuggling operation. Flex holds down the fort with some delicious Wisconsin brews and a deep dive into why Sheboygan has an odd sheep obsession. Plus, we’ve got booze news, terrible funeral director choices, and a heated (but not a baseball show) debate over the Dodgers.

Beers We’re Drinking

  • Greg: Fog City Hazy IPA – San Francisco Brewing Co. – A hazy with surprise bitterness, aggressive carbonation, and a backstory involving a near beer flood.
  • Flex: The King of Sheboygan – Young Blood Beer Co. – A juicy double hazy that flexes tropical flavors and zero bitterness—just don’t ask about the sheep.

Greg’s “totally not a beer trip” to San Francisco somehow included Beer Week, a booze-filled bay cruise, and a questionable amount of beer smuggling. Flex, on the other hand, takes a deep dive into Sheboygan’s unexpected sheep obsession—because, of course, Wisconsin.

Also, Greg stumbles upon an airport beer win, Flex crushes another stellar Wisconsin brew, and an old man with a PBR and a breakfast burrito might have life figured out better than all of us. Plus, there’s a heated (but not a baseball show) debate over the Dodgers, and Greg nearly breaks his own brain trying to recall obscure ’90s wrestling trivia.

Booze News

  • Georgia Distributors Throw a Fit – Small breweries want self-distribution, and big distributors aren’t happy about it. Shocking.
  • Texas Cracks Down on THC Drinks – The Lone Star State is trying to kill the buzz—literally.
  • Drunk Funeral Director Busted – A Minnesota man shows up sauced to pick up a body. Bold move.
  • Drunkest & Soberest Colleges in America – BYU stays dry, while an unexpected school takes the top drunk honors.

Greg and Flex are back just in time for Saint Patrick’s Day with a fresh batch of beer-fueled nonsense. Greg drops a HUGE piece of industry news that he's been sitting on for weeks (seriously, the suspense was killing him). Flex reviews a hazy IPA so thick it should come with a spoon, and the guys dive into some questionable history facts (spoiler: Flex is just making things up at this point).

Greg and his trivia crew, Prestige Worldwide (featuring the Silly Billies), won the Best of the Best trivia night, and he’s letting everyone know about it. Flex is developing his own Tongue Jobber comic strip. The guys make fun of breweries that insist on making their own Guinness alternatives, and Greg has some very strong opinions about it. We also learn about Greg’s recent trip to Malibu Brewing, where he enjoyed some new beers, fantastic weather, and apparently burnt end turkey. And we’ve got St. Patricks’ Day Fun Facts! 

And the biggest news of all—Monica and James have moved to Austin! Our favorite brewer duo has taken on new roles at Fast Friends Beer Co., and Greg finally gets to spill the details on what that means for the Austin beer scene. Spoiler: It’s about to get real damn good.

Booze News

  • Monster Energy’s big mistake – They took a $130 million hit on their alcohol brands. Shocking, right?
  • Tilray does it again – Revolver Brewing’s production is getting shut down and moved elsewhere. Another craft brewery bites the dust.
  • Mexican beer prices are going up! – Thanks to a 25% tariff and an old legal agreement, your Modelo and Corona are about to get a little pricier.

The guys break down the math behind those too-good-to-be-true dollar pints, brainstorm ways to keep breweries alive (spoiler: trivia night is fine, but bingo might mean you’re doomed), and discuss why non-alcoholic beer had its best Dry January ever—much to their disappointment.

Beers We’re Drinking


Episode Highlights

Greg survived (barely) a Champagne Around the World birthday party for Deb, and let’s just say champagne drunk is a special kind of drunk. There were spreadsheets involved (Flex was impressed), sideline bottles, surprise DoorDash deliveries, and an ungodly amount of bubbly consumed. The aftermath? A raging champagne headache and a desperate need for sweet potato fries. Meanwhile, Greg also made a highlystrategic Smirnoff Ice purchase, setting up a hidden ice attack on unsuspecting guests. The boys also dive into the fine art of brewery marketing—why collabs are the key, trivia is timeless, and why breweries throwing comedy nights might need to re-evaluate their business plan. Oh, and Flex flexes his ability to recite the alphabet backwards, just in case the need ever arises (Greg, on the other hand, does not have this talent).

Booze News:

  • 🍺 Dry January Just Got Worse – Non-alcoholic beer claimed a record share of the grocery store market last month. Civilization is crumbling.
  • 🍑 Georgia Breweries May Finally Catch a Break – A new bill could open the door for self-distribution. About time?
  • 💰 Sapporo’s Regretful Beer Shopping Spree – Stone Brewing’s new owners just admitted they massively overpaid… again.
  • 🚔 Ravens Lineman Blows a .178 – At 6'6" and 360 lbs, this guy needed way more than “three or four beers” to get there.

There were spreadsheets involved (Flex was impressed), sideline bottles, surprise DoorDash deliveries, and an ungodly amount of bubbly consumed. The aftermath? A raging champagne headache and a desperate need for sweet potato fries. Meanwhile, Greg also made a highlystrategic Smirnoff Ice purchase, setting up a hidden ice attack on unsuspecting guests. The boys also dive into the fine art of brewery marketing—why collabs are the key, trivia is timeless, and why breweries throwing comedy nights might need to re-evaluate their business plan. Oh, and Flex flexes his ability to recite the alphabet backwards, just in case the need ever arises (Greg, on the other hand, does not have this talent).

Booze News:

  • 🍺 Dry January Just Got Worse – Non-alcoholic beer claimed a record share of the grocery store market last month. Civilization is crumbling.
  • 🍑 Georgia Breweries May Finally Catch a Break – A new bill could open the door for self-distribution. About time?
  • 💰 Sapporo’s Regretful Beer Shopping Spree – Stone Brewing’s new owners just admitted they massively overpaid… again.
  • 🚔 Ravens Lineman Blows a .178 – At 6'6" and 360 lbs, this guy needed way more than “three or four beers” to get there.

Greg went full beer tourist and drank his way through Austin, and he’s here to spill all the boozy details. Meanwhile Brewing served up his favorite beer of the trip—so good it forced him to break a years-long Untappd dry spell! Flex, on the other hand, is freezing his mustache off in the Midwest, sipping on a Toppling Goliath variety pack and confirming what we already knew: people on Untappd have no taste. The guys also dig into the absurdity of TSA screenings, the power of food truck barbecue, and the ongoing battle against Big Beer’s nonsense. Plus, why is Michelob Ultra so damn popular?

Beers We’re Drinking


Greg went on a Valentine's weekend trip to Austin, which quickly turned into a full-blown beer pilgrimage. From Meanwhile Brewing’s award-winning haze to Zilker and Lazarus Brewing, it was one tasty stop after another. Flex, meanwhile, has been battling negative temperatures and living in a hoodie. The guys discuss TSA’s fascination with Greg’s “oversized package” and reminisce about the best airport snacks (Southwest’s Maui onion pretzels for the win). Greg also recounts a wedding night in Asheville that ended with gin-fueled regrets and a long nap on the cold bathroom floor. Meanwhile, Flex reveals his grandma’s secret to beer drinking (spoiler: salt) and the guys dunk on Michelob Ultra drinkers.

Booze News (Revised)

  • Big Beer Strikes Again – Another craft brewery is calling out Molson Coors for some sneaky marketing. Haven’t they learned their lesson from that $56 million lawsuit?
  • Super Bowl Beer Sales Fumble – While the Chiefs took home the trophy, draft beer sales took a hit. But somehow, Michelob Ultra is thriving. We have questions.
  • New DUI Limit Proposal: Will It Change Anything? – North Carolina wants to lower the legal limit to .05. But will it actually stop drunk drivers, or just ruin happy hour?
  • Guam’s Most Honest Drunk Driver – When asked how much he had to drink, his answer was… refreshingly straightforward.

Plus, Greg catches an old drinking buddy in the ultimate beer hypocrisy, and we dive into some truly ridiculous booze news, including yet another Japanese government worker losing sensitive data while drunk. Crack one open, because this one’s a ride!

Beers We’re Drinking


Greg’s Super Bowl involved beer, Mario Kart, and absolutely zero emotional investment in either team. Flex’s was a mix of a sick kid, some pretzel nuggets, and the stunning realization that his dad might actually be a white Samuel L. Jackson. But the real shocker? Greg caught an old drinking buddy slamming a certain beer that they swore off years ago!

Flex also dabbled in some THC experimentation, confirming that 6mg is his sweet spot but 10mg had him straight-up wobbly. Greg, on the other hand, revisits a dispensary freebie that was so bad it tasted like pure regret. And just when you thought things couldn’t get worse, we break down the tragic beer choices from Super Bowl Sunday (seriously, Michelob Ultra??).

Booze News:

  • Super Bowl Shotgun Showdown – Saquon Barkley just put on a beer-chugging clinic, but did he really finish it?
  • $1 Beers for Life? – A brewery is offering lifetime $1 pints—if you’re willing to shell out some serious cash first. Worth it? Let’s do the math.
  • Super Bowl Beer Wars – The top-selling beer in Kansas City and Philly might surprise (and disappoint) you.
  • Another Drunk Government Worker Loses Sensitive Files – When are they going to learn their lesson?

Greg is back from his travels, Flex is deep into his late-night Instagram scroll addiction, and Brian is here proving once again that he might actually be related to Greg (which is both alarming and hilarious). This episode is packed with road trip beer adventures, brewery letdowns, and a deep dive into the tragic fate of expensive hype beers. Plus, we’ve got some ridiculous Booze News—including an Arkansas law change that actually makes sense and a Florida story that is pure Florida Man energy. Grab a beer, sit back, and let’s get into it!

Beers We’re Drinking


Greg recounts his Vegas trip where he didn’t step foot on the strip but did fall into the hype trap of Beer Zombies Brewing. Turns out, the can art is the best thing about them. Flex takes us on a journey of beer disappointment as he sips a $7 can that tastes like “just fine.” Meanwhile, Brian shares tales of a Portland, Maine, beer trip so good that Deb had to buy an extra suitcase for the haul. Oh, and speaking of travel, Greg is heading to Austin, Flex is hitting up Minneapolis, and Brian is plotting a bourbon-fueled birthday bash in Louisville. Get ready, America.

Booze News

  • Arkansas Trying to Loosen Up – Lawmakers propose raising the state’s max ABV limit from an embarrassing 5% to a respectable-ish 14%. Progress?
  • Connecticut’s Buzzkill Bill – A new proposal would require alcohol cans to warn that drinking beer mightincrease cancer risks. Because nothing pairs better with a cold one than existential dread.
  • Keeps Being Alaska – Lawmakers want to add even more alcohol warning signs in bars. Still won’t let you actually get drunk in one, though.
  • AHA Splits from BA – The American Homebrewers Association is separating from the Brewers Association. Because nothing brings people together like arguing over bad homebrew.
  • Florida Educators Gone Wild – A Florida principal and a teacher were arrested after repeatedly hosting underage drinking ragers… and making custom party t-shirts for them. Just Florida things.

Greg is back from his globe-trotting adventures, Flex is still the Director of the Health Ministry (whatever that means), and we welcome the smartest beer drinker we know, Intern Brian, who’s actually a real lawyer—unlike Greg’s pretend legal expertise. We break down Pringles' questionable decision to release Miller Lite Beer Can Chicken chips (Flex is already hoarding them) and, in a story that will make you cross your legs in sympathy, a Canadian man learns the hard way why you should always wear a belt in a bar fight—especially in subzero temps. Oh, and there’s beer. Lots of beer.

Beers We’re Drinking


Greg is fresh off a Bay Area beer pilgrimage, bringing back tales of pilsners, lagers, and his ongoing battle with TSA over confiscated cans. Flex makes a triumphant return to Phase Three Brewing after a two-year beer boycott, and Brian drops way too much legal knowledge on beer label laws. Speaking of legal nerdiness, the crew continues their deep dive into what breweries are actually required to print on their cans, uncovering why some beers list their ABV and others don’t. Also, Greg debates his royal title in the Craft Beer Republic (King Greg? El Presidente? Supreme Overlord of the Haze?), and the gang somehow goes down a very passionate rabbit hole about onions.

Booze News

  • San Francisco’s iconic Tornado Beer Bar is up for sale! Who’s pitching in to buy it?
  • IPAs continue their reign of terror, topping $2.27 billion in sales in 2024. Hazy vs. West Coast—who’s winning?
  • Sapporo Stone Brewing is making cuts, axing employees and shutting down their e-commerce. No more beer or merch shipped to your door.
  • Pringles drops a Miller Lite Beer Can Chicken flavor, and Flex is already clearing room in his pantry.
  • A Canadian man learns the hard way that pants are important in sub-zero temps. The rest of us learn…well, nothing, but we do laugh a lot.

This week, Greg and Flex are back with an episode that hits harder than a triple IPA after a long workday. We’ve got questionable road trips, big hearts (with a “t”), and some hilarious revelations about drunk driving, pants removal, and the unsung heroes of beer-drinking adventures. Grab a cold one because this episode is one for the books.

Beers We're Drinking:


Greg shares his strategy for navigating the tap list at small breweries like There Does Not Exist, and Flex reminisces about a watermelon gose that deserves a comeback. The guys hilariously unpack the logistics of driving naked, and we raise a toast to the unsung heroes of drunken escapades—those friends who set us up with buckets, blankets, and couches when we needed it most. Plus, Greg and Flex dive into the big questions: where do beer drinkers want to buy their brews, and what can breweries do to get us to drink more? We need your answers!

Booze News:

  • Dogfish Head announces a 30-minute light IPA with only 95 calories. Can they really pack that much flavor into something so light? Stay tuned.
  • Constellation Brands is raking in the cash as beer prices soar.
  • Laguna Beach takes the title of DUI capital of California, thanks to its party-town vibes, endless drinking establishments, and tourists who can't resist.
  • Police are on the hunt for a man who drove naked and drunk after a fight.

Beers We're Drinking

Greg and Flex: Pliny the Elder by Russian River Brewing – A double IPA icon with crisp hops and a smooth 8% ABV that’s dangerously crushable. Finally popping Flex’s Pliny cherry.

Greg and Flex sip on a West Coast classic while catching up on the absurdities of life. Greg’s been juggling California wildfires, power outages, and an awkward beer run that included plenty of Pliny and some questionable company. Flex shares memories of college cocktail disasters and explains why some beers are worth the hype (and others definitely aren’t). It’s a mix of chaos, beer, and laughs you won’t want to miss.

Booze News

  • Hydration? Nah. New Belgium’s making a boozy Gatorade. It’s 5% ABV and already questionable.
  • Beer Dynasty Drama: The Leinenkugel family wants their brewery back, but Molson Coors says, “Nah.”
  • Dew the Booze: Hard Mountain Dew is here, but Greg and Flex are having flashbacks to bad decisions.
  • Philly Loves BYOB: Most Philly restaurants are BYOB—because why not pair that cheesesteak with your own stash?

This episode is anything but dry—because Dry January isn't welcome here! Greg, Flex, and Erica dive headfirst into hilarious conversations about wild animal encounters, disastrous brewery closures, awkward first dates, and the struggles of finding the perfect gift. Plus, they break down the latest Booze News and share their honest (and sometimes questionable) beer reviews. It’s a sloppy, salty, and crunchy good time you won’t want to miss!

Beers We’re Drinking:


Greg kicks things off by firmly rejecting Dry January, while Erica proudly joins the anti-dry movement with her salty snacks. Erica shares stories about mountain lions casually roaming her neighborhood and teases an upcoming Alaskan cruise (with plans to challenge local drinking laws). Greg recounts the time he drunkenly chased a coyote in flip-flops, proving that liquid courage knows no bounds. Flex opens up about the struggle of holding in gas during the early days of dating—because nothing says romance like two-minute farts in the car. The crew also dives into the recent trend of brewery closures and debates the art of giving (and receiving) the perfect gift. Plus, Greg might have started a family revolution by boycotting holiday gift exchanges.

Booze News:

  • Cancer Warnings on Booze? The U.S. Surgeon General wants to slap cancer warnings on alcohol. Will that stop anyone? Yeah, right.
  • Stone vs. Molson Coors: Molson Coors loses its appeal and now owes Stone Brewing $56 million. Plus interest. Ouch.
  • Flex’s Mall Brewery is Blowing Up: Explorium Brewpub is taking over Good City Brewing, expanding beyond the mall and into Flex’s heart.
  • Harpoon + Smuttynose Merger: Two New England breweries join forces to create Barrel One Collective. Worst. Merger. Name. Ever.
  • Drunk Detective Frees Inmates: A hammered cop in Zambia accidentally frees 13 prisoners. Cheers to new beginnings?

Greg, Flex, and Erica are here to fight the good fight against Dry January, bringing you a hotline to save beers—and lives. Erica shares wild stories from her epic Egypt and Abu Dhabi adventure, Flex faces off against some overzealous fireworks and an IPA hangover, and Greg dodges DIY disasters with his neighbors. Plus, pozole presents, beer-snob debates, and a voicemail so wild it could only come from Chew Your Beer. Let’s start the new year with laughter and liquid courage!

Beers We’re Drinking

  • Greg: Nelsie by Monkish Brewing – Greg’s hazy pale ale is packed with Nelson Sauvin hops, tropical aromas, and a pillowy smooth finish. 
  • Flex: Terra Nelson by Drowned Lands Brewing – A triple hazy IPA with bright tropical notes and Sauvignon Blanc vibes. Flex calls it "Nelson perfection" despite the price tag.
  • Erica: Schism by Lupulin Brewing – A bold black IPA with roasty bitterness, smoky undertones, and a lingering dankness.

Dry January is the enemy, and the Craft Beer Republic hotline is here to help. Flex relives his chaotic holiday, from a four-beer hangover to a near-underwear brawl with New Year’s fireworks enthusiasts. Erica takes us on a journey from the pyramids of Egypt to Eminem concerts in Abu Dhabi—complete with desperate Heineken beer-runs. Meanwhile, Greg shares tales of pozole-filled holidays, neighbors on a DIY rampage, and his ongoing fight to keep family visits under control and over inebriated. It’s beer, laughs, and chaos to start the new year right.

Erica shares wild stories from her epic Egypt and Abu Dhabi adventure, Flex faces off against some overzealous fireworks and an IPA hangover, and Greg dodges DIY disasters with his neighbors. Plus, pozole presents, beer-snob debates, and a voicemail so wild it could only come from Chew Your Beer. Let’s start the new year with laughter and liquid courage!

Beers We’re Drinking

  • Greg: Nelsie by Monkish Brewing – Greg’s hazy pale ale is packed with Nelson Sauvin hops, tropical aromas, and a pillowy smooth finish. 
  • Flex: Terra Nelson by Drowned Lands Brewing – A triple hazy IPA with bright tropical notes and Sauvignon Blanc vibes. Flex calls it "Nelson perfection" despite the price tag.
  • Erica: Schism by Lupulin Brewing – A bold black IPA with roasty bitterness, smoky undertones, and a lingering dankness.

Dry January is the enemy, and the Craft Beer Republic hotline is here to help. Flex relives his chaotic holiday, from a four-beer hangover to a near-underwear brawl with New Year’s fireworks enthusiasts. Erica takes us on a journey from the pyramids of Egypt to Eminem concerts in Abu Dhabi—complete with desperate Heineken beer-runs. Meanwhile, Greg shares tales of pozole-filled holidays, neighbors on a DIY rampage, and his ongoing fight to keep family visits under control and over inebriated. It’s beer, laughs, and chaos to start the new year right.

Greg, Flex, and Mel are here to kick off 2025 with plenty of laughs, questionable resolutions, and beers that make us glad our tongues can’t talk back. Flex reminds everyone why Wisconsin is the Fresh Coast (it’s real, he swears), Mel educates us on the dos and don’ts of edibles at weddings, and Greg channels his inner David Attenborough during a stoned encounter with whales. Plus, they’re petitioning to make 2025 the Year of the Gose, debating when craft beer really peaked, and roasting chestnuts—well, metaphorically. Cheers to another year of beers, nonsense, and mildly useful advice!

Beers We’re Drinking:


The gang dives into the nostalgia of the “good old days” of 2019, arguing over the true peak of craft beer. Greg and Flex trade stories of hilariously high experiences with THC drinks, including a memorable balcony whale encounter that may or may not have been real. Mel reminisces about her edible misadventures at a wedding, where she learned the hard way to read the dosage warnings.

In a heartfelt New Year’s brainstorm, they pledge to rekindle the camaraderie of the craft beer community, resolve to post on social media more often (no promises), and petition to make 2025 the year of the Gose. And in true CBR fashion, they somehow turn beer reviews into a conversation about roasted chestnuts, door decor, and why juicy IPAs should just be labeled correctly already.

Booze News:

  • Craft breweries are closing faster than they’re opening for the first time—so much for new year optimism.
  • A woman runs the New York City Marathon drunk. Goals?
  • Castle Island Brewing rescues Cambridge Brewing’s IP—because good beer deserves a second chance.
  • Diageo considers selling off P Diddy’s vodka. Uh, who’s still drinking that?

From cantaloupe debates to wrestling belt coolers, the crew dives headfirst into the absurdities of the season. Flex shares a Christmas beer that’s as festive as his short shorts, Mel cries into boxed wine (again), and Greg realizes he might need to hit the lake with his new championship fanny pack. It’s a holiday hangout full of bad movies, great beers, and questionable decisions—cheers to that!

Beers We're Drinking

  • Greg: Love Hazy IPA by Almanac Brewing, bursting with cantaloupe and tropical vibes, this IPA supports a great cause—and Greg’s cantaloupe obsession.
  • Mel: Everything Naughty by Ommegang Brewery, a smooth, caramel-forward blonde stout with festive vibes, but the white chocolate didn’t RSVP.
  • Flex: Christmas Ale by Abita Brewing, a malty holiday ale that looks great on the table, even if it tastes like liquid bread.

The gang kicks off with a heated debate over the best Grinch (Jim Carrey vs Timothée Chalamet) and why long Christmas movies are the absolute worst. Mel celebrates her three-year CBR anniversary, reflecting on how far they’ve come… and how much boxed wine it took to get here. Flex proudly unveils the ultimate holiday gift—a championship belt fanny pack cooler—while Greg dreams of strapping one on for a day on the lake. Holiday drinking traditions get hilariously weird with Heineken, boxed wine, and the most questionable wrapping strategies you’ve ever heard. Plus, Mel shares a wild dad story involving fake hockey players, proving that nothing says “Merry Christmas” like a good J-ism.

Booze News

  • Brewers Association gets a new CEO—can he save craft beer?
  • Chuck Schumer’s “Bubble Bill” might lower taxes for cider and mead.
  • Enlightened Brewery in Milwaukee shuts its doors after 10 years.
  • Budweiser kills RateBeer—RIP to another OG beer site.

Flex shares how his kids are basically his beer sommeliers, picking out a beer that pairs perfectly with… Crocs? Greg’s beloved annual “Dropping of the Yule Log” returns, and yes, it still sounds like the most festive dump. Plus, an actual super hero gets arrested, Christmas train shenanigans, and a surprising list of brewery ingredients that no longer need government approval. It’s a sleigh ride of stupidity, beer, and holiday spirit—ho ho hops!

Beers We're Drinking:


Flex dives into “Dad Life Goals” by letting his kids pick beers at the liquor store based solely on their shiny cans—what could go wrong? Greg, meanwhile, brings back his favorite holiday tradition, the Dropping of the Yule Log, leaving listeners in tears over its unintentional bathroom noises. The guys get real about hyped breweries charging insane prices, the sexiness of affordable beer, and Greg’s surprising champagne fiasco that ended with Uber Eats saving the day. Meanwhile, Flex daydreams of getting arrested in a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costume. Priorities.

Booze News:

  • TTB Gets Cool: Brewers no longer need approval to use ingredients like bananas, nuts, and rhubarb—less red tape, more beer.
  • Goat Patch Takes Over Pike’s Peak: Colorado Springs’ Goat Patch Brewing is acquiring Pike’s Peak Brewing, turning schools into breweries and keeping things local.
  • No Fun on the Train: A UK train company launches a low-alcohol beer campaign to stop people from getting shmammered mid-ride.
  • Constellation Sells Svedka: Sazerac adds yet another booze brand to its ever-growing liquor empire.
  • Batman Gets Booked: A man in a full Batman costume crashes his car, flees the scene, and fails sobriety tests—justice was served.

Greg’s kicking off the show from a two-week road trip with his priorities firmly set on beer and podcast gear (who needs clean clothes anyway?), while Flex brings the Thanksgiving drama, complete with late-start drinking and smoked turkey revelations. Meanwhile, Psycho Bear calls in with beer tips and maybe a murder plot, and Kentucky proves mules aren’t meant for high-speed getaways. Grab a beer and buckle up—it’s chaos in a can!

Beers We’re Drinking


Greg kicks things off by proving his priorities are in order: podcast gear over clean clothes for his road trip. Flex dives into Thanksgiving tales of smoked turkey and late-drinking drama, while Greg shares the tragic saga of a $400 ham disaster and how a family pregnancy almost derailed the mimosa tradition—until a heroic champagne run saved the day. Psycho Bear calls in with beer wisdom, sass, and a potential murder plot, and the guys debate whether marriage is really just a lifelong effort to stop men from doing dumb things.

Booze News

  • Blackout Wednesday Fizzles: Draft beer sales continue to slide on the biggest bar night of the year—are we losing our touch?
  • Michelob Ultra Reigns Supreme: The top draft beer for the second year running… and it’s only 4.2% ABV.
  • Stoli Files for Bankruptcy: Blame it on Russian interference, cyberattacks, or just bad luck—either way, vodka’s taking a hit.
  • Man Drives Drunk to Police Station: Pro tip: don’t show up to complain to the cops when your BAC is 0.22.
  • Drunk Mule Escape: A Kentucky man tries to flee police at 15 mph—on a mule.

Greg and Flex are back for another episode of Craft Beer Republic, and this time, the shenanigans are extra juicy. From brunch-induced chaos to beer trades that make us question our morals, the duo dives deep into life, laughs, and some seriously good beer. Plus, we discover Flex’s undying love for mashed potatoes and find out why Greg might owe “Not Murderer John” a little something extra for bringing him Treehouse beer. Sacramento, congrats on being our top listening city—sorry about the shade! Let’s raise a glass and get hydrated!

Beer We’re Drinking:

  • Greg: Little Machine by Treehouse Brewing – A 5.5% hazy pale ale bringing strong notes of pineapple, candied tropical fruit, and grapefruit, with gorgeous lacing that is borderline pornographic.
  • Flex: Spellbinder by Wren House Brewing – A 6.9% hazy IPA bursting with tangerine and stone fruit flavors, earning top marks and a spot in Flex’s dream beer lineup.

Greg kicks things off by recounting a brunch-turned-binge session that ended with some couch therapy and a bathroom confession. Flex shares his love for mashed potatoes—seriously, it’s a borderline love affair—and the two dream up a mashed potato flight that’s sure to revolutionize brunch menus everywhere. Pilot Tom earns Flex's eternal gratitude with a beer hookup, while Greg sings the praises of Non-Murderer John, whose beer generosity keeps on giving. And Greg keeps it classy with more wine drinking. Oh, and Sacramento? You may be our top listening city, but you’re still boring. Sorry, not sorry.

Booze News:

  • High ABV beers boom: Big beers are outselling hard seltzers—efficiency in a can!
  • Black is Beautiful creator’s next act: Marcus Baskerville is opening a San Antonio spot where fried chicken meets craft beer.
  • New Belgium offloads Upper Hand Brewery: The high hand of craft changes owners, but the beer stays local.
  • Tequila heist madness: 24,000 bottles of Santo Tequila vanish in an Ocean's 13-style operation.

We’re bringing you Thanksgiving week beer science, a heated debate on food vs. beer at breweries, and the ultimate guide to "Drunksgiving" boozing. Plus, we roast the bizarre world of shots (spoiler: gin shooters are the worst) and vent about Massachusetts still refusing to legalize happy hour.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  • Flex is sipping on Joe Joe's Chocolate Vanilla Cream Stout by Hardywood Park Craft Brewery, a smooth and sweet stout, perfect for Thanksgiving indulgence.

Thanksgiving week kicks off with Greg and Flex sharing stories about the chaotic traditions of “Drunksgiving,” from packed bars to running into people you’d rather avoid. The debate over food versus beer at breweries sparks some laughs and unexpected takes, with Flex looking at it from a family angle and Greg holding onto his beer-first mindset. They also dig into the surprising buzz around Trader Joe’s beer selection, and all the single can fun! Finally, the duo takes on the sudden obsession with All I Want for Christmas Is You and debates whether it’s always been a classic or just recently found its fame. Are you tired of that song yet?

Booze News:

  • Molson Coors Takes a $41M Hit: Divesting craft brands turns into a pricey tax write-off.
  • Stone Brewing Goes Local: Say goodbye to Stone beers abroad as exports are axed.
  • Massachusetts Hates Fun: The state keeps its outdated happy hour ban alive and well.

They swap stories about classy (and not-so-classy) wine adventures and some unexpected marathon strategies involving pork chops. With debates over the best pizza, insider beer tips, and all the usual banter, this episode has something for every craft beer fan.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  • Flex: One Cat on the Chessboard by Fat Orange Cat Brewing – A New England-style single-hop IPA showcasing Eldorado hops with notes of pear, peach, and candied watermelon.
  • Greg: Celebration Fresh Hop IPA by Sierra Nevada Brewing – A holiday classic, blending piney hops and rich caramel malt for a crisp, bitter blast of holiday cheer.

Greg shares his latest wine party escapades, this one at a swanky restaurant, while Flex marvels at the magic of single-can purchases at Trader Joe’s. Did you know that you can break cans off at Trader Joe's? We also cover quirky Connecticut laws in Ludicrous Libation Law, debate the best pizza styles (sorry Chicago), and recount hilarious marathon stories involving pork chops and our friend Lou. We also reflect on what makes a holiday beer truly special.

Booze News:

  • The Leinenkugel family isn’t happy about recent closures at their iconic brewery.
  • MobCraft Beer has been sold, raising questions about the challenges of surviving in today’s craft beer market.
  • Wicked Weed’s Funkatorium in Asheville faces indefinite closure due to hurricane-related water outages.
  • The Brewers Association adds a new style to its guidelines: the Italian-style pilsner.
  • We break down the price of a beer at every NBA arena, with Boston taking the top (and most absurd) spot at over $20.

In this episode, we dive into tales of questionable beer ratings, Flex’s joy over the triumphant return of Miller High Life Light, and the mystery behind an unexpected jar of jelly that showed up at Greg’s door. Plus, Flex reveals why having a craft beer-loving pilot as a friend might be the ultimate beer perk and the sad news coming to Wisconsin.

Boris (Pedals & Pints) is back with Greg and Flex, and he’s got some hop knowledge to drop. Plus, we’re diving into those horrendous Costco advent calendars, drinking on the job, awkward brewery comedy nights, and drunk Florida man ghost riding the whip. 

Beers We’re Drinking

  • Boris is drinking Dank Meter, a dank, tropical West Coast IPA collab from ISM Brewing and Riip Beer Company. 
  • Flex is sipping What’s the Triple in the IPA? from Evil Twin Brewing—a monster triple IPA with a smooth pour and a budget-friendly price tag. Triple the hops, triple the fun!

Boris dives into hop geekdom with a rundown on the latest in hop tech, like Dynaboost. We talk about old school IPAs and not missing those protein shakes. We crew swaps holiday horror stories about the infamous Costco advent calendar disaster—yes, Boris went back for more, year after year. He also gets basic on us, professing his undying love for New Glarus Spotted Cow—it’s Midwest royalty, after all. Greg spices things up with a question about the most horrendous beer flavors possible, with nightmare brews like liverwurst lager and nacho cheese ale making the cut. And, if that’s not enough cringe, Greg shares a painfully awkward experience at a brewery comedy night,

Thanks to Missouri for this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law.

Booze News

  • Oskar Blues is (for some reason) rolling out a new non-alcoholic Dale’s Pils as well as a session IPA.
  • New Glarus Brewing is starting a $55 million expansion project.
  • And a Florida Man goes to Pennsylvania, get’s hammered, and ends up on top of his car.

Greg, Flex, and Boris—the new head brewer at Pedals & Pints—kick back with stories from the brewery trenches, a few epic beer fails, and plenty of laughs. Boris spills on his journey to head brewer, Flex keeps things fresh with a killer autumn lager, and Greg’s got a new hazy that’s almost too drinkable. Join the crew as they serve up everything you love about craft beer: good friends, great brews, and even better stories.

Beers We’re Drinking

  • Greg is enjoying Psychedelic Vibes from Shred Beer Company, a 6% hazy pale ale that’s bursting with notes of peach, orange, and citrus.
  • Flex drinks up with Frisbee from Eagle Park Brewing, a juicy New England-style IPA at 8.5% with heaps of mosaic hops and a smooth, fruity finish.
  • Boris brings Foilage, an autumn lager from Enneagram Brewing, with a hoppy, malty body perfect for fall.

Greg shares his recent appearance on the Taproom Podcast with Mike, then spills on a mini beer adventure with Erica and McDreamy, hitting up High-Hand Brewing, Shred Beer Company, and Track 7. We dive into Boris’s story and his new role as head brewer at Pedals & Pints, where he’s crafting new brews and planning for holiday stouts, fresh hop blends, and the ultimate Christmas beer lineup. The crew debates the perfect spot for a brewery, and the homie Chew Your Beer calls in with some critical advice on burgers and beer—and a spot you’ll definitely want to avoid.

Booze News

  • Modern Times is getting a shake-up as Maui Brewing’s parent company spins off the beloved brand, handing it over to two new partners who promise a fresh start.
  • Speaking of Modern Times, they’re currently having a garage sale if anyone needs brewing equipment.
  • Alesmith Brewing stirs up curiosity (and some skepticism) by introducing a hard cider to their year-round lineup, raising questions about what craft drink fans are looking for next.

Greg has an awkward run-in during Uber Eats duty, Flex sips on a PB&J-inspired sour, and Erica gets worked up over grape jelly (Midwest vs. West Coast, anyone?). Plus, the gang comes up with ridiculous beer names based on their last texts—Flex’s “Boo to Fake Boobs” might just take the cake! And in Booze News, we dive into the latest updates from Stone Brewing, Tilray's big acquisition, and the shocking tale of a teacher hitting the bottle a little too hard.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  • Erica is drinking Fresh Juicy Strata from Moonraker Brewing, a hazy IPA bursting with fresh, sticky hop goodness.
  • Flex is enjoying We Go Together Like from 1840 Brewing, a PB&J-inspired sour that perfectly balances peanut butter and grape flavors.
  • Greg is sipping on Code Breaker from Trademark Brewing, a West Coast IPA that’s dank, piney, and refreshingly bitter.

Greg goes on a rant about how gross it is to find yeast cakes at the bottom of your hazy cans. Erica does some beer research at a few less-than-stellar breweries and shares her sadness over Monica leaving Pedals. The gang has a blast coming up with ridiculous beer names like “Missing Plug” and “Boo to Fake Boobs” based on their last texts, and they want to hear yours—send us your most ridiculous beer names! Plus, Flex’s beer choice sparks an epic debate: which jelly reigns supreme—grape or strawberry? Oh, and did you know it’s illegal to serve beer and pretzels together in North Dakota? Yeah, the crew has some thoughts on that, too.

Booze News:

  • Stone Brewing reveals their new business model-bye-bye to all their fun beers.
  • Jack's Abby is set to acquire Night Shift Brewing, making it the largest craft producer in Massachusetts.
  • We finally find out how much cash Tilray dropped to acquire those Molson Coors breweries (and how much they owe Neck Nosh!).
  • And an Iowa teacher gets arrested for being absolutely hammered in class.

There's also too much money being spent on crappy booze, a prime example of how accurate the Flex Algorithm is, a weird offering from Sam Adams, and getting hammered to watch hockey.

Beers We're Drinking:

  • Flex is drinking On the Loose, an IPA from Tripping Animals in Miami, FL.
  • Greg is chugging Alesmith’s Oktoberfest Märzen as Oktoberfest season comes to a close.

Flex tells us all about his Disney trip to the infamous Dick Hotel! He also got to drink around the world at EPCOT, pound some foreign beers, eat the best fish and chips, and get hurricaned out. Greg recaps a brewery baby shower (because beer makes everything better) and shares his experience seeing Something Corporate live. Unfortunately, the concert left him with more than just great memories—food poisoning hit hard, and it was rough! And Flex confirms that the Algorithm is accurate! 

Booze News:

  • Sam Adams is selling a limited-edition seance kit, because apparently, summoning dead brewers is the new fall trend.

Greg reflects on how his so-called "relaxing" vacation left him more stressed than when he started, while Flex dives into his love-hate relationship with grammar. The guys also take shots at breweries that claim their beers are “world-famous”, and spiral into a wildly entertaining discussion about a little place called Dildo Brewing. And let’s not forget Greg’s unfortunate IPA choice, which left him with some serious childhood vitamin flashbacks—because nothing says craft beer like nostalgia for Flintstones chewables.

The two swap stories about airport beers priced like fine dining, laugh over weird travel mishaps, and chat about how no one in Portugal seems to eat dinner before 9 PM (Greg's kind of people). Somewhere in there, Flex talks about a beer that left him genuinely impressed – a rare moment for our seasoned beer snob.

Miss Tipsy Socks, who brings her signature blend of wit and beer knowledge. They kick off the episode with plenty of laughs, roasting each other over everything from intros to Steph's surprisingly small desk. But it's not all jokes—they dive into Steph's new role as the Executive Director of the Utah Brewers Guild, discuss the quirks of Utah’s beer laws, and even share some bizarre news out of Virginia. Plus, Greg and Flex debate what really makes a "classy" drinker. It’s an episode full of hilarious banter, unexpected beer finds, and, of course, a bit of chaos—just the way we like it.

The gang also gets into the madness of beer festivals, with Steph recounting her recent trip to the Great Taste of the Midwest—complete with tales of VIP perks and beer-soaked adventures.

]]>This week on Craft Beer Republic, Greg and Flex are back at it with a special guest—Steph, a.k.a. Miss Tipsy Socks, who brings her signature blend of wit and beer knowledge. They kick off the episode with plenty of laughs, roasting each other over everything from intros to Steph's surprisingly small desk. But it's not all jokes—they dive into Steph's new role as the Executive Director of the Utah Brewers Guild, discuss the quirks of Utah’s beer laws, and even share some bizarre news out of Virginia. Plus, Greg and Flex debate what really makes a "classy" drinker. It’s an episode full of hilarious banter, unexpected beer finds, and, of course, a bit of chaos—just the way we like it.

Beer Reviews:

Flex shares his desperate dash to restock on beer before football, and the guys take a few jabs at the new non-alcoholic version of 805 that nobody asked for. Plus, Chew Your Beer calls in with a rant about being stuck as the taco guy and craving some “white people food,” and they wrap things up with a classic Florida Man story that proves even trees aren’t safe from drunken shenanigans. It’s craft beer, comedy, and chaos all in one.

Beers We're Drinking:

  • Greg is drinking "Conflict of Interest," a West Coast IPA from Fall Brewing Co. in collaboration with Harland Brewing. It's a juicy, slightly hazy IPA with notes of peach, red berries, pineapple, and a dry, dank finish.
  • Flex is enjoying "Cashmere Sweater" from 1840 Brewing Company, a double IPA bursting with apricot and orange marmalade flavors, topped off with a soft, pillowy texture.

Episode Highlights: Greg unveils his latest creation, an online beer-buying algorithm inspired by Flex’s strict criteria—can art, price, and ABV—and the guys put it to the test with Flex’s current brew. The guys also dive into the ultimate dilemma: finding decent beer at the grocery store and what beers to look for the ease the shopping pain. We also cover the universal struggle of over-committing to brewery swag. The conversation gets even juicier with a deep dive into the ultimate white food: mashed potatoes. The homie Chew Your Beer calls in with a hilarious rant about being stuck as the taco guy at every family event and his dream of hiring someone to make him classic American meals instead. This brings up the question, what is the ultimate white-people food?

Booze News:

  • Tilray Expands Again: Tilray closes on the some of the big brewery acquisitions they’ve been chasing.
  • 805 Goes N/A: Firestone Walker drops a non-alcoholic version of 805, and the guys have some strong opinions on it.
  • Modern Times Shakes Things Up: Major changes are underway for Modern Times, and they might not be what fans were expecting.
  • Weathered Souls Says Goodbye: A beloved brewery known for a significant campaign announces it’s closing its doors.
  • California Cracks Down: The state takes a hard stance on hemp-derived THC products, and the new rules could have a big impact.
  • Florida Man Strikes Again: A bizarre incident involving a man, a gun, and a tree ends in a way only a Florida Man story could.

From a spontaneous trivia night at a German beer hall to a boozy bender at Dave & Buster’s, the guys have plenty of laughs and stories to share. And of course, no episode would be complete without a crazy Florida Man story—this time featuring a tractor. Grab a beer and join the fun!

Beers We're Drinking:

  • Flex is drinking MKE Brewing’s Oktoberfest, a Marzen-style lager with its perfect balance of roasted malts and caramel sweetness. 
  • Greg is chugging Enegren Brewing’s Oktoberfest, a traditional Bavarian style Marzen with a dry finish. 

Greg shares his solo trivia night at a San Francisco German beer hall, where he found himself unexpectedly competing and making the comedian question his career. He also recounts a wild night at Dave & Buster’s that involved beers, Jell-O shots, more beers, and an Uber ride that almost didn’t happen. The guys also debate their love-hate relationship with Dunkels and discuss the perfect time for Oktoberfest beers. And Pyscho Bear calls in and leaves a voicemail.

Ludicrous Libation Law takes us to the hills of West Virginia.

Booze News:

  • Fireball's legal mess: Sazerac is under fire for misleading consumers with their malt-based mini bottles that aren't actually whiskey.
  • Cambridge Brewing Company closing: After 35 years, Cambridge Brewing is closing shop, not because of financial woes, but because the founder is ready to retire.
  • Florida Man strikes again: A man was arrested for driving a tractor drunk on Main Street, in true Florida style.

The guys catch up on brewery visits, share some hilarious and questionable restaurant experiences, and get real about the struggles of getting older. Plus, there are exciting shoutouts, a bizarre Hulk Hogan incident, and some good news for New York cider and spirit lovers. Whether you’re in the mood for a deep beer dive or just a good laugh, this episode has you covered!

Beer Reviews:

  • Flex is continuing his love for Oktoberfest beers with MC Hammerschlagen, from Eagle Park Brewing. It’s a festbier that hits all the right notes without being overly roasty; will it be  Flex's new favorite of the season?
  • Greg is drinking Citra Traveler, a West Coast Pilsner from Casa Agria. Loaded with citra hops, this crushable pils is perfect for the crazy hot weather right now.

We’re out there doing the research, including Greg’s visit to a new (ish) brewery in Paso Robles where he was pleasantly surprised, and Flex continues his deep dive into Oktoberfest beers. This leads to a discussion about BJ’s Brewhouse, their meh beers, and Flex’s less-than-stellar dining experience there. The duo also gives a shout-out to some local supporters and fans, like Wondercorn Snacks and Andrew from Ventura_County_Beer.

Booze News:

  • Hulk Hogan’s new beer brand promotional event ends in disaster as a woman is injured by a flying beer can.
  • New York Governor signs a bill allowing direct-to-consumer shipping for hard cider and spirits, but not beer.
  • New Belgium finds a buyer for Magnolia Brewing, with some familiar faces from 21st Amendment and other local ventures taking over.
  • Sapporo Stone workers in Virginia begin a union drive, seeking better pay and working conditions.

This week, we're thrilled to have Mel, aka Beergirl_Mel, back on the show, bringing her infectious energy and beer expertise to the mic. As Greg and Mel take you through the latest in the craft beer world, they'll unpack the wild economic fallout from Pliny the Younger's release, share boozy stories from the UK, and dive into some hilarious beer science. With Mel on board, you know it will be a fun, insightful, and wildly entertaining dive into the world of craft beer!

Mel is drinking Green Yield, an unfiltered IPA from The Drowned Lands Brewery. Greg is crushing American Reinheitsgebot Helles, a crispy love child from Enegren Brewing and Bierstadt Lagerhaus.

Greg talks about going hard at brunch and getting the day drinking started early, which leads to a complete amateur hour situation. It turns out Mel also loves day drinking; is it the choice of "older" drinkers? Mel also discusses her recent dive into old 80s movies and how awful they are. No wonder we drink! And is Yuengling still considered craft?

The homie Chew Your Beer calls in to throw shade on a brewery.

In Booze News:

  • The release of Pliny the Younger, the highly sought after triple IPA from Russian River, brought millions of dollars to the local economy.
  • The UK is breaking distillery records.
  • The DEA is looking to reclassify marijuana, which will influence beer production.
  • The Brewers Association gives some production updates.
  • In Beer Science, we learn about a new gel being tested to eliminate hangovers!

Flex is out sick, and we’re calling in the big guns to fill those short shorts. With Beergirl Mel’s help, we’re digging to the back of the fridge and digging up our oldest dinosaur beers. We’re also talking about Mother’s Day drinking, making our own skinny seltzers, another lawsuit over beer names, awful wedding beers, and more teachers getting drunk at school. 

Greg reached way back and pulled out a 2020 Stone and Modern Times collab: Wizards & Gargoyles, a coffee-hazy IPA. Mel dug up Babe Brew 6, another hazy IPA, this time from Saint-Houblon—La Microbrasserie. 

As you can imagine, we discussed the importance of drinking beer fresh. Don’t be like us and save them. We’re also talking about our Mother’s Day shenanigans. Mel went to see family and did a fair bit of drinking, while Greg convinced his mom to go wakeboarding and wine tasting. The two discussed what alcohols are good for trying to shed a few pounds, and Michelob Ultra is not in the running. 

The homie Chew Your Beer calls in with a brewery review of sorts. Thanks to Chew, we talk about breweries in bad neighborhoods and picking up street meats after drinking. 

In the News Flight: Wisconsin Brewing launched a non-alcoholic beer with Harley-Davidson, Firestone Walker is getting into the NA scene with 8ZERO5, and Massachusetts makes cocktails to-go a permanent fixture.

In Booze News, the founder of Lead Dog Brewery buys back his former business. BrewDog CEO James Watt finally steps down…sorta. No-Li Brewing files a lawsuit over the use of a beer name. Modelo Especial and Michelob Ultra are topping the sales charts. And another teacher gets fired for getting drunk at school.

We’re talking about some getting in the research while traveling, how to lose weight with alcohol, recipes for the perfect snacks, homebrewing seltzers, drinking too much on a plane, and the crispiest beers in the US!

Greg is drinking Konkey Dong, a big, double IPA from Hoof Hearted Brewing. Flex is sipping on Only Interested in Bangers from Hop Butcher for the World. 

Greg does a little more traveling, which means he got in a little research. He also found some good spots to eat and hopes he made a missed connection at the airport. Flex is doing his best to lay off the goods and try to get back into fighting shape. Do you have any tips on how to lose weight while still drinking?

Thanks to Mississippi for coming through with the very classy Ludicrous Libation Law. 

In Booze News: Full Circle Brewing and Crowns and Hops founders unite in a new craft alliance. British passengers on a flight to Turkey drink all the booze on board in under an hour. A guy admits to being pretty drunk for his twelfth OWI arrest. And we’ve got the top crispiest pilsners in the US.

Flex and Greg are enjoying the sweet, delicious weather in Wisconsin while sipping on some quality brews.

Recently, Greg officiated a wedding and felt like a big deal, while Flex reminisced about his wild bachelor party adventures. There's been a buzz of activity in the beer world, with various brewery acquisitions taking place. Oh, and let's not forget about the drunk guy who kicked a buffalo and the mystery of secret pizza! The Craft Beer Republic is always full of surprises and good times.

Greg indulges in Voltron Volume 4, a hazy IPA collaboration between 4 Hands Brewing and Surly Brewing Company. Flex, on the other hand, is savoring the Cosmic Archer, a banger of a beer from the renowned Toppling Goliath. 

Greg did some officiating over the weekend and is hot off the tail of being the center of attention. He also learned about the art of secret wedding pizza and the importance of late-night wedding food. Flex talks about his wedding and the trouble he got into at his bachelor party. He also took the family to a baseball game so they could watch the Brewers lose and eat a bunch of food.

In Booze News, Pike Brewing's founders are to acquire Freemont Brewing out of Washington. Faubourg Brewing's expensive facility is hitting the auction block. Jack's Abbey is acquiring Wormtown Brewery. Ballast Point is ceasing its brewing production and moving to a contract model. And a drunk man kicks a bison at Yellowstone.

Shoutout to Dallas, GA, for being our top-listening city last week!

Steph is back for another funny episode as we talk about the fallacy of greatness that Budweiser presented, Utah beer research, Eagle Park’s Jointfest, Flex’s awful culinary experience, Greg’s brush with TSA taking his beer, cocktail talk, and Florida Woman is making a comeback! 

Step is drinking Warm Smile, a fruited sour from Seek Beer Co. in San Diego. Greg is sipping on Squid Prints, a collab IPA from Imprint Beer and Vitamin Sea Brewing. And Flex has one of his favorites from Eagle Park Brewing. 

When it comes to macro beer, is there a bigger sham than the image that Budweiser sold us with their commercials? And what crap beer do you reach for if you have to? We also find out that Steph is related to The Rock, as are most Samoans. Greg has done some traveling and didn’t see eye-to-eye with TSA about bringing beer aboard the cabin. He also did some excellent beer research while in the Bay Area. Shout out to Wondrous Brewing Co! And we find out that Flex has a strange affinity for ketchup; are you a ketchup person?

In Booze News, one cocktail reigns supreme in the United States! The Bruery is moving to Idaho. In terms of off-premise sales, less beer is being sold than a couple years ago. And Florida Woman takes the wheel, on three wheels; what are they drinking down there?

Greg is drinking Juce = Juce, a collaboration Hazy IPA from Great Notion and Equilibrium Brewing. Flex is sipping on an old Berliner from Eagle Park Brewing (no surprise). 

Thanks to our biggest fans in Finland, we’re getting Pants Drunk! Greg conducts algorithm-approved budget beer research. Flex is teaching us that beer never dies, no matter how old it is. 

The former Dark Horse owner is facing jail time if he doesn’t pay back his staff. Sazerac is buying BuzzBalls, the really weirdly shaped RTD drinks. A judge sides with Constellation in the battle of the seltzers with AB InBev. An airline pilot receives jail time for showing up to work drunk. And Floridaman is at it again, molesting a manatee statue and throwing gator nugs at innocent bystanders. 

Thanks to North Carolina and their hatred of fun for our Ludicrous Libation Law.

]]>This week on Craft Beer Republic, Greg and Flex are conducting some beer science, learning about getting pants drunk, drinking REALLY old beer, discussing the proper taco, and taking a trip down south to hang out with Floridaman. 

Greg is drinking Juce = Juce, a collaboration Hazy IPA from Great Notion and Equilibrium Brewing. Flex is sipping on an old Berliner from Eagle Park Brewing (no surprise). 

Thanks to our biggest fans in Finland, we’re getting Pants Drunk! Greg conducts algorithm-approved budget beer research. Flex is teaching us that beer never dies, no matter how old it is. 

The former Dark Horse owner is facing jail time if he doesn’t pay back his staff. Sazerac is buying BuzzBalls, the really weirdly shaped RTD drinks. A judge sides with Constellation in the battle of the seltzers with AB InBev. An airline pilot receives jail time for showing up to work drunk. And Floridaman is at it again, molesting a manatee statue and throwing gator nugs at innocent bystanders. 

Thanks to North Carolina and their hatred of fun for our Ludicrous Libation Law.

This week on Craft Beer Republic, Flex and Greg are talking about their Easter drinking situations, when to teach your kids about beer flights, participating in Pink Boots collab days, the upcoming WrestleMania weekend, drinks to-go, Blue Moon ruining the eclipse, and taking a drunk swim with your car.

Greg and his wife, with a bunch of other beer friends, were invited to Pedals & Pints Brewing (thanks, Monica!) to participate in their Pink Boots Collaboration Brew Day. We’re both talking about our Easter adventures. Flex pre-gamed his Easter a couple days early and is a better man for it. Greg started the day with some edibles and quickly classed things up from there. And, of course, a quick “looking forward” to WrestleMania 40 this weekend!

Greg is drinking Thrash Punk Coffee Kolsch from Witch’s Hat Brewing Company; thanks to Andrew for sliding that one over. Flex is sipping on The Raspberry Vanilla Cheesecake Incident, a Berliner Weise from Eagle Park & Mikerphone Brewing. This also gets Flex talking about taking his kids to Eagle Park’s brewery and when the right time is to get them educated on flights. 

In the News Flight: Mad River Brewing was acquired by the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians, the Cicerone program has been sold, and Indiana makes cocktails to-go permanent!

In Booze News: California breweries have some new legislation to look forward to when it comes to selling beer. It turns out that basketball fans prefer beer over other alcoholic beverages. Blue Moon is doing their best to ruin the solar eclipse with “Eclipse Sips.” A drunk driver confuses a boardwalk for a road and ends up in the drink.

We’re talking about traveling and drinking, upgrading your booze selections, keeping it saucy on the golf course, politicians getting involved in beer, and drunk platinum-status travelers.

Flex is sipping on Samsara IPA from Evergrain Brewing in Pennsylvania. The other gents are drinking MC^Ghost from Parish Brewing and Equilibrium Brewing. 

Did you know a new Ghostbusters movie is coming out? Dan and Flex are very excited. Greg went on a work trip and managed to get some research done. He has a PSA about spirits selections when you’re getting fancy cocktails. Flex is getting sporty and drunk on the golf course with his new-found love for golfing. Dan reveals his love for minor league hockey and the Milwaukee Admirals. It turns out he often goes to watch games and gets drunk on the cheap. 

New Jersey is back at it with this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law.

In Booze News: Congress is looking to give tax breaks to bars with new draft beer systems. Politicians are sticking their noses where they shouldn’t with THC beers. Wyoming adopted new franchise reform laws. Stone promises to get back to making beer…mostly. And a drunk platinum flyer really needs to drink a little water and stop asking people their size.

Shoutout to Pennington, New Jersey, for being our top listening city last week.

For the big 4-0-0, we are having a party! Greg and Flex are hanging with the OGs, Scott and Dan. We’re talking about our 3:16 Day and St. Paddy’s Day celebrations, day drinking like a champ, pizza-flavored beer, and getting in a drunken wrestling match in the drive-thru.

Flex is sipping on This Is My Serious Face, a hazy from Amorphic Beer. The other gents are drinking the most popular craft beer from 2016, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Can you believe we’ve been around since 2016?!

In honor of Stone Cold Day and St. Patrick’s Day, we did some celebrating. Flex hung out with the family and had his annual whiskey shots. Dan did his celebrating on 3:16. Scott celebrated from the couch. Greg pre-gamed too hard and doesn’t remember the end of Saint Patrick’s Day 2024. Flex is a massive champion of day drinking, and who isn’t?

In Booze News: Alaska Airlines and Fremont Brewing team up for a flight-inspired beer. Voodoo Ranger is dropping a pizza-flavored beer that no one can afford. Cigar City Brewing (thanks to Monster) is laying off a chunk of its workforce. And a Florida Man starts ramming cars and brawling in the drive-thru (and inspires a song).

This week, Flex and Greg are back with tales of alcohol hidden in the walls, throwing sharp objects while drinking, drinking too much with professional wrestlers, the Florida Man Games, Tennessee’s cold beer saga, and getting arrested for flirting with cops.

Flex is sipping All Beef Frank, an IPA from Hop Butcher for the World. Greg is drinking Extra Sunshine, a hazy IPA from Shred Beer Company. Thanks to Erica for sending that down. 

Greg apologizes to some forgotten beers and talks about the joys of drinking beer while throwing axes (and other sharp objects). He also went to Palefest, started drinking with a professional wrestler, and ended up way too hydrated. We talk about what a coffee nerd’s actual name is. Flex has kept Greg in suspense all week as he tells his tale of hidden alcohol bottles and getting in trouble for their sudden appearance. 

Chew Your Beer left a voicemail: Happy birthday, Chew! You can leave one, too: (805) 538-BEER.

In Booze News: the Florida Man Games have come and gone, and the real winners are the spectators. JuneShine acquires Flying Embers if anyone cares. Tennessee has an about-face on its cold beer stance. Georgia is doing their best to keep small brewers down and help out the big distribution companies. And a drunk man is arrested for slapping his real and flipping off the cops…not in Florida!

We're excited to be at Red Engine Brewing Company to talk to Preston Andreini, the founder, brewmaster, and the man behind the vision of this new brewery. He speaks about his history with craft beer, being the first brewery in town, designing recipes, making important mistakes, and making beer people want to drink. 

Preston shares Java Bump, a coffee blond ale, and the perfect breakfast beer. We discuss his "other" job as a firefighter and his connection with the brewery's name. We get into the planning stages, starting a podcast about building a brewery, getting friends to help build, and the acceptance from the local community. 

Next, we share First In, an American light lager. We get nerdy with the brewing process and beer enzymes and turn the conversation to picking the correct location. He shares who helped him during the planning, the most significant lessons he learned throughout the process, and what he would have done differently. 

Then we sample Smoke Show, a not-too-smokey dry Irish stout. Preston talks about his focus on beer making and the importance of having more than just beer in the brewery. He speaks about his first beers in life and brings that full circle to his brewing education. We drill down on process and discuss what hops he's crushing on and who he's excited to collaborate with. 

Finally, we finish with Probie, their blonde ale. While we sip on that, we run through a round of rapid-fire questions. It would be a crime not to mention the pizza they're slinging at the brewery. We shared one before the interview started, and it was delicious!

Check out Red Engine Brewing in Filmore, CA, at 803 Ventura St. Find them online at RedEngineBrewing.com. And on the socials. Thanks to Preston for sharing his beer, pizza, and time with us! If you check out the brewery, let us know what you think!

With the Super Bowl this week, we have to take a moment to chat about the 49ers and the Chiefs. We’re also talking about brewery anniversary parties, Coley’s birthday shot parade, day drinking at the driving range, some unexpected brewery closures, and a big brewery sale. 

-

Casa Agria in Oxnard had their big 8th-anniversary party last weekend, and Greg grabbed the crew to investigate. Coley celebrated her birthday with brunch and a big shot parade (don’t worry, we explain it) and the downfall of cheap champagne. Flex did some day drinking at Luxe Golf, where everything is half off for Mulligan Mondays…EVERYTHING! Greg got an embarrassing thrill of a lifetime after getting re-grammed by one of his favorite artists.

-

We all know this isn’t a sports show, but we must mention the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs. Who do you have winning the Super Bowl?

-

Flex is drinking Keystone State of Mind, a Hazy IPA collab from New Trail Brewing & Other Half. Thanks to @shredded_brew for the hookup! Greg is sipping on Casa Agria’s Oxnard DDH Nelson Pale Ale.

-

In booze news, there is huge breaking news in Southern California as local brewery 14 Cannons has been abruptly sold to a local “Entrepreneur” who has already started making significant changes. AB InBev closed the Wynwood taproom in Miami and moved operations to Veza Sur. New Belgium has closed its San Francisco outpost after less than 3 years. Patrick Mahomes Sr. does a little too much celebrating before the big game. And we’ve got the Top 15 Beers in the U.S.

]]>We’re talking balls and beers! With the Super Bowl this week, we have to take a moment to chat about the 49ers and the Chiefs. We’re also talking about brewery anniversary parties, Coley’s birthday shot parade, day drinking at the driving range, some unexpected brewery closures, and a big brewery sale. 

-

Casa Agria in Oxnard had their big 8th-anniversary party last weekend, and Greg grabbed the crew to investigate. Coley celebrated her birthday with brunch and a big shot parade (don’t worry, we explain it) and the downfall of cheap champagne. Flex did some day drinking at Luxe Golf, where everything is half off for Mulligan Mondays…EVERYTHING! Greg got an embarrassing thrill of a lifetime after getting re-grammed by one of his favorite artists.

-

We all know this isn’t a sports show, but we must mention the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs. Who do you have winning the Super Bowl?

-

Flex is drinking Keystone State of Mind, a Hazy IPA collab from New Trail Brewing & Other Half. Thanks to @shredded_brew for the hookup! Greg is sipping on Casa Agria’s Oxnard DDH Nelson Pale Ale.

-

In booze news, there is huge breaking news in Southern California as local brewery 14 Cannons has been abruptly sold to a local “Entrepreneur” who has already started making significant changes. AB InBev closed the Wynwood taproom in Miami and moved operations to Veza Sur. New Belgium has closed its San Francisco outpost after less than 3 years. Patrick Mahomes Sr. does a little too much celebrating before the big game. And we’ve got the Top 15 Beers in the U.S.

-

Greg has to hit the road for work, but he does get in some research at a couple of breweries: Hangar 24 and Everywhere Beer Co. He also scores major beer points with his wife. Flex takes the family out for beers but has to chase down someone to get a beer. And have you heard of Anchovy hops? Could there be a worse name? We need better hop names. And Erica is gearing up for Beerfest season at Neck Nosh!

-

Greg is drinking Soon Enough, a hazy IPA from Everywhere. Erica is sipping on Moon Boots from Sideward Brewing. And Flex is drinking Mikerphone Brewing’s Mic Check 1, 2 DDH DIPA.

Flex and Greg are back at it, and we’re talking about corporate beer that’s still good, drinking at concerts, work-from-home happy hour, Snoop Dogg’s new drink, setting drinking records in Australia, and some crazy guy is blowing up bars.

Flex drinks Danger is Our Business, an IPA from Drekker Brewing and Xul Beer Company. Greg is sipping on One of My Favorites (that’s the name) from Pure Project.

-

Flex talks about his new favorite activity, after-work drinks with the crew from work, while Greg fails on his work-from-home drinking status. And the difficulties of finding a good beer while you’re at concerts leave us with a question: what is your favorite “big” beer?

In this episode, host Greg and his incredible co-hosts Flex and Mel take you on a wild ride through the world of craft beer, sharing their thoughts, opinions, and reviews on the latest brews.

Greg and Flex venture into a spirited discussion about sports (yes, it's not a sports show, but they can't help it!), expressing their opinions on baseball player Shohei Otani and deferred payments in the world of sports. They may not be sports experts, but they undoubtedly bring a unique and entertaining perspective to the table.

Meanwhile, Mel joins from the East Coast, sharing her experiences during the holidays and introducing a local favorite: Newburgh Brewing Company's Angry Eggbert. This New England IPA captures the essence of the holidays with its comforting flavors and story. Listen as Mel describes this brew and its ties to a beloved Christmas egg, Egbert, creeping everyone out thoroughly.

As the conversation continues, Flex recalls a long-lost beer establishment, and the trio digs into a festive holiday voicemail from their homie, Chew. Bursting with holiday cheer and mischief, Chew encourages us to make resolutions we can all keep and definitely piques our curiosity about the much-anticipated "2024 resolution."

Of course, this show wouldn't be complete without in-depth beer reviews. Flex indulges us with his experience savoring Hoppery Hazy IPA from Yazoo Brewing, sharing its unique characteristics and lamenting the discrepancy between the can's appearance and the actual pour. The conversation evolves into a discussion about labeling accuracy, with a sly suggestion to call all juicy beers "juicy" or "unfiltered" to avoid confusion. 

Greg then gives us his review of Propitiation, a sour barrel-aged porter from Russian River Brewing Company. With tons of "sour" smell on the nose and hints of toastiness, the flavor is highly unique, with subtle fruit and chocolate flavors and a tart finish.

In the news, we talk about the world's strongest can of beer. More non-alcoholic beers are being added to flights. Dorchester Brewing and Aeronaut Brewing are getting together for a merger. Tilray is receiving multiple calls a day to buy small breweries. Diageo is looking to offload almost all of its beer brands. Kid Rock says he's ready to drink some Bud Light again. And we've got the drunkest cities in America for 2023.

-

Flex is drinking Wandering Into The Snow, a double milkshake IPA with marshmallows from Abomination Brewing. Greg and Coley are sipping on Beneath the Canopy, a collaboration murky from Pure Project and Smog City Brewing. 

-

Flex talks about celebrating St. Nicholas Day, which the rest of the world is sure is fake. Coley tells us about her crazy, destroyed Tavour box that got kicked to her front door. Greg gets into the wine and food pairing party he had for his wife and all the crazy competitors that showed up. And The Beer Bastard writes in to defend Gnarly Barley Brewing.

-

Stay tuned for our holiday episode next week! We’d love to hear your craziest, drunkest, holiday stories. 

]]>Get ready for a hilarious and beer-filled episode as Coley joins Greg and Flex on Batch 386! We’re talking about Flex’s fake holiday celebration, brewery expansions and closures, destroyed beer shipments, free beer promotions, New Jersey drama, and Heady Topper’s anniversary.

-

Flex is drinking Wandering Into The Snow, a double milkshake IPA with marshmallows from Abomination Brewing. Greg and Coley are sipping on Beneath the Canopy, a collaboration murky from Pure Project and Smog City Brewing. 

-

Flex talks about celebrating St. Nicholas Day, which the rest of the world is sure is fake. Coley tells us about her crazy, destroyed Tavour box that got kicked to her front door. Greg gets into the wine and food pairing party he had for his wife and all the crazy competitors that showed up. And The Beer Bastard writes in to defend Gnarly Barley Brewing.

-

In the News Flight, Wild Barrel Brewing is shutting down operations, and Second Chance Brewing is closing its taprooms. However, Westbound & Down is acquiring Aspen Brewing and Capitol Creek Brewery.

-

In Booze News: XGolf is in trouble for giving out too much free beer. The New Jersey governor vetoes a bill to help struggling breweries. Heady Topper is celebrating 20 years with some special anniversary brews. And deep dive into the economics of beer-to-go.

-

Shoutout to Pennington, New Jersey, for being our top listening city.

-

Cheers to our newest sponsor, Magic Mind. Go to magicmind.com/BEER and use code BEER20.

Flex and Greg are back for Batch 385. They're talking about beer advent calendars, taking boozy road trips, a new drunk driving test, the best beers of 2023, excellent cocktail spots, and Saint Nicholas Day.

-

Greg is sipping on Campfire Stout from Highwater Brewing. Flex is drinking Third Space Brewing's Cranberry Gose. 

-

Flex talks about all the holiday beer research he's been working on and the sweet beer advent calendar he got from MobCraft. Greg talks about his wife's birthday trip and the insane number of cocktails they put down while they were gone. And Flex blows Greg's mind with the existence of Saint Nicholas Day (not Christmas). Is this even real?

-

In Booze News: Voodoo Ranger is the best-selling "craft" beer right now. AB InBev is losing its chief marketing officer. Other Half Brewing is buying Young Lion Brewery. Scientists have developed an app to tell how drunk you are. A drunk Giants fan punches his nurse. Drunken grizzly bears are tormenting the local trains.

Join Flex and Greg on Batch 384 as we talk about our Turkey Day beverages, Christmas beer traditions, the onset of hangovers, Pozole Palooza, the sale of Anchor Brewing, and the best 20 Beers in 2023.

-

Flex is drinking Milkshake IPA from Eagle Park’s Demo Track series. Greg is reviewing Frosty the Hazeman, a holiday hazy from Second Chance Brewing.

-

Flex talks about his first Thanksgiving home in decades and enjoying it for once. He also recalls his most drunk holiday story that didn’t end up so well. Greg talks about his holiday and all the boozing (and cooking) he did. We’ve also got the Top 5 states when it comes to Thanksgiving alcohol consumption. Chew calls in to talk about Pozole Palooza 2023 and all the food and beer we destroyed! 

-

In Booze News: AB InBev and the Teamsters have reached a deal to keep delivering crap beer. Sapporo is finally selling Anchor Brewing, and they don’t care how much of it you buy. Tree House Brewing is getting sued by one of its shareholders. Chinese imports to Korea dropped drastically after the Tsingtao “showers.” Wisconsin is overhauling some alcohol laws that could help breweries.

On Batch 383, we’re getting sauced for turkey day as we drink some beers we’re grateful for. We’re also talking about Flex’s dabbling, the most popular Thanksgiving booze, Blackout Wednesday, more craft “strategic partnerships,” truckloads of alcohol go missing, and anti-hangover shots!

-

Flex is drinking an Apple Pie Imperial Stout from Lion’s Tail Brewing. Greg is sipping on Gemeinschaft, a collab between El Segundo Brewing and Enegren. And Zack is reviewing…something different.

-

Flex talks about his hatred of fruit pies; who hates fruit pies? He also talks about his time spent with the THC seltzer from Eagle Park. It turns out that Flex is now a dabbler. We talk about our favorite spots for Blackout Wednesday and the most popular Thanksgiving Day booze, thanks to Drizzly. 

-

Smuttynose Brewing’s parent company snatches up Five Boroughs Brewing. Ninkasi is closing its Better Living Room location. Ecliptic Brewing was acquired by Great Frontier Holdings (aka Ninkasi). Somehow, literal truckloads of alcohol have gone missing. Wisconsin may become the first state to have its own cocktail. And a new anti-hangover shot is hitting the market, but does it actually work?

-

-

Greg is drinking the 2023 Celebration fresh hop IPA from Sierra Nevada. Zack is sipping on Unsessionable IPA from Revolution Brewing in Chicago. Flex is reviewing Rocket Rodeo from Dream State Brewing in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

-

While drinking a holiday beer, the guys discuss the proper time to put up holiday décor. Do they go up before or after Thanksgiving? Zack fills us in about his new gig at Revolution Brewing! We also talked about his new ride and vanity license plate. What’s the best vanity plate you’ve come across? And talk about why good VHS tapes are so hard to find. We also talk about revenge-icing people and whether the person needs to see or touch the bottle. What are your rules?

-

Oskar Blues suddenly closes their Austin taproom. Sam Adams is bringing back Utopias for 2023, but how much is it this year? Dry Dock Brewing is moving its production to Great Divide. The Teamsters, who deliver the beer, have paused negotiations with AB InBev. And a man gets a DUI after hitting people…on his e-scooter.

The Dream Team is back together for Batch 381; we’re taking names at trivia, hitting up some new breweries, getting beer while trick-or-treating, staying away from Tsingtao, and running away from Florida Man!

-

Deb and Greg are drinking 14 Cannons Hurriquake, their 6th Anniversary West Coast IPA. Flex is sipping on Believe It or Not from Third Space Brewing.

-

Greg, Deb, and the rest of the Prestige Worldwide team took the victory at Naughty Pine’s trivia night! Greg did some wine-making; it was kind of gross. He also hit up some new breweries on the last wakeboard trip of the year. Flex does some trick or treating with his kids and gets the hookup from his friend at Eagle Park Brewing; he even got some substances! Do you still trick or treat?

-

Thanks to Maryland for our Ludicrous Libation Law. Are we expert beer writers?

-

Sammy Hagar is back at it; this time, he’s opening up a brewery. Tree House is opening a new location in New York; who’s ready for more hazies? Bad news out of China: video shows an employee urinating into a tank. A bar overseas was fined for offering free “encounters” and boozy hookups.

On Batch 380, we’re talking about Taco Tuesday, football players buying fans beers, new Sunday beer sales for New York, the Floridaman Games, and the importance of whipped cream and pumpkin pies.

-

Flex is drinking a Halloween classic, Pumpking, from Southern Tier Brewing in Lakewood, NY. Greg and Deb are sipping on Pumpkin Ale from Kern River Brewing Company. 

-

Our beer selections bring up an important debate: can you have pumpkin pie without whipped cream? Listener Bryan gives us a big update about “porn in the morn.” Somehow, this brings up buffets and how good/gross they are. And Taco Tuesday isn’t under copyright anymore. Should we rename the show “Taco Tuesday Podcast?”

-

Shoutout to Boydton, VA, our top listening city of last week.

-

In the News Flight: Steffon Diggs tracks down some Bills fans and buys them a beer, and the Brewers Union of Georgia loses the vote over at Creature Comforts. 

-

In Booze News: Bud Light is the official sponsor of the UFC. New York is extending beer sales on Sundays; get ready for that 6:00 AM bender! The Floridaman Games are coming to St. Augustine in February 2024. A California man is arrested for riding his horse drunk. And 8 Halloween Beers you need (so they say).

-

Mel drinks Dexterous, a Helles lager from Aspire Brewing in New York. Flex is sipping on Mikerphone Brewing’s Key Lime Cheesecake Incident. And Greg is reviewing Castle Made of Clouds, a milkshake IPA from Gnarly Barley Brewing out of Louisiana. 

-

Remember Kings and Convicts, the brewery that bought Ballast Point? Turns out they have an extremely awkward taproom, complete with lawn chairs and nobody in it. Please let us know if you’ve been there! Then we discover that Mel doesn’t represent her roots, and Flex has to teach us Italian. And Mel tells us about a great “Gentleman’s Club” with excellent steaks.

Greg talks about his other beer research while in Colorado (not GABF-related). Erica and Greg break down the game tape on icing Erica while in Denver. Erica talks about her trip to Nashville for the beer release with the Brewbabes Family. And now we all need to meet up in Nashville; who’s coming?

]]>Hiya pals! Erica is back with Flex and Greg, and we’re talking about the Nashville Brewbabes trip, doing beer research in Colorado, drunk lawnmower riding, and the icing of Erica!

-

Flex is drinking Mikerphone Check 1, 2 from Mikerphone Brewing. Erica is sipping on Common Law & Dark Shadow’s collaboration with the Brewbabes Family, Muscadine Grape Ale. And Greg is drinking Cognitive Dissonance, an IPA from Flatland Brewing.

We're recapping our trip to the GABF 2023, talking about the research we did outside the festival, spending time at the zoo, the breweries that are craft again, and the garbage pumpkin beers.

-

Erica and Greg are drinking Delusional, a juicy IPA from Worthy Brewing in Bend, OR. Flex is sipping on Cromulent, a hazy from Transient Artisan Ales. 

-

Greg, Erica, and even Mini-Flex talk about the trip to Denver for the Great American Beer Festival. We cover a lot of the beers we tried, the quality (and lack thereof) of many attending breweries, the difference in crowds from day to day, and selling pretzels to a bunch of drunks! We also mention our research at the Pints for Prostates Rare Beer Tasting, where we enjoyed some extremely unique beers and hung out with some old friends. 

-

We also discuss the Brewery of the Year winners at the Great American Beer Festival, including Balter Beerworks, Third Eye Brewing, Liquid Gravity Brewing, Wibby Brewing, Saint Arnold, Allagash Brewing, and Shred Beer Co. Check out the GABF website for the full list of winners.

-

In the News Flight, a new beer collaboration in New Jersey called "Sign the Bill, Phil" aims to encourage the governor to sign a bill that would ease restrictions on breweries. And Virginia is now allowing craft breweries to self-distribute through the Virginia Beer Distribution Company.

-

Tilray's acquisition of several brands from Anheuser-Busch is complete. Who's excited to drink a craft Shocktop? And 10 Barrel Brewing isn't hiding how they feel. Finally, a California judge upholds Stone's trademark verdict against Molson Coors.

Cheers, beers, and pizza, we are live from Fluid State Beer Garden in Ventura, CA! Greg sits down with Aaron Duncan and Jen Schwertman, owners and co-founders, in front of a live audience for a fun show about finding beer, making pizzas, and being picky about the beers we love!

-

Aaron shares his background as a restaurant owner, head chef, and self-proclaimed pizza pimp. Jen tells us about her background in the alcohol industry and how it led to her passion and knowledge of craft beer. We also find out about her (almost) major beer award!

-

Next, we learn how they secured the fantastic and historic building they’re in and what it took to get from concept to open doors. They also had a very different idea at the beginning of business planning. Aaron and Jen share their brewing experience, trials and errors, and mishaps. And most importantly, we find out how Jen and Aaron get all their amazing beer (hint: he drives EVERYWHERE).

-

We finish the show with questions from the audience and a round of rapid-fire questions.

-

On the show, we drank Silvapils from Silva Brewing, Everywhere Brewing’s Must Be The Feeling IPA, and Faction Brewing’s Anomaly Milk Stout.

We’re talking about fall and the PSL takeover, partying into the wee hours at our advanced age, getting iced, more weird New Jersey laws, more breweries unionizing, and drunks calling 9-1-1 on themselves. 

-

Greg and Coley are drinking MadeWest’s Short Lived series, this one a collaboration with Tarantula Hill Brewing. Flex is sipping on Forbidden Pumpkin from Abomination Brewing Company.

-

In time for fall, Coley finally tried her first-ever Pumpkin Spiced Latte. Greg, Coley, and the group stay up ‘till 3:30 AM partying. Are we too old for this? Greg throws it back to college and Ices Nick and plans to ice "a friend" for their first time at GABF. We need your icing suggestions. Flex goes on a very midwestern trip to pick apples. 

-

Thanks to New Jersey for supplying this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law.

-

In the News Flight: Elysian Brewing staff voted to unionize, Kid Rock is caught drinking a Bud Light, and Modelo passes Bud Light in sales for the year.

-

Heineken finally sells their Russian operations for less than a pint. Eggo is dropping a waffle and brunch-flavored liqueur. And a drunk driver calls 9-1-1 on himself!

We’re talking about traveling to meet up with Instagram friends, drinking Eurobeers, drunk American tourists, teachers drinking on the job, and the 10 most popular beers (that no one likes).

-

Flex is drinking River of No Return, a collab IPA from Pure Project & Kern River Brewing. Greg and Erica are sipping on Circle Back, a westie from Helper Beer in Utah. 

-

We get super nerdy and talk about hop kief: what it is and what it sounds like. Many listeners had thoughts about our Blue Moon discussion, so it’s time for round two. Flex talks about the importance of French fries at a brewery. Greg talks about his trip to Tahoe, where he got to hang out with Erica and miss_tipsysocks and see their actual faces. It also turns out the beer isn’t so good up there. There’s also a meaningful discussion about how bad saisons are. 

-

Thanks to YouGov, we discovered the most popular beers in the US, and it’s not a good list. A third-grade teacher was arrested for being drunk on the job. And some sloppy drunk Americans pass out in the Eiffel Tower and get a free state.

]]>Batch 368: Cheers from the taproom! Mike, the host of The Taproom Podcast, stops in to crack a brewski with Flex and Greg. We’re talking about brewery road trips, being the guinea pigs for major breweries, drinking crap beer when it’s hot out, spiked Dunkin’ sugar bombs, and the big news from Anheuser-Busch.

-

Flex is sipping on Apiary Drip, a honey IPA from Modist Brewing and Dangerous Man Brewing Company. Greg is drinking Everywhere Beer Co.'s All Green Lights. And Mike is researching All About The Brick from 8Bit Brewing.

-

Mikey spills the beans on his podcast and the new format, and the crew talks a little shop. Greg talks about his birthday weekend, all the breweries he stopped in for a bit of research, and the awful concert beers. The crew starts talking about favorite beers, least favorites, and being the guinea pig for Firestone’s crazy expensive Brewmaster’s club.

We're talking about drinking in other cities, crazy drunks at the airport, why thiols are so cool, getting drunk at Hooters, and a drunk lady getting slammed with a chair!

-

Greg and Monica are drinking Cuddle Puddle, a hazy IPA from Black Hammer Brewing in San Francisco. Flex is drinking what may be his favorite beer ever: Voltron Volume One from 4 Hands Brewing Company. 

-

We start off by embarrassing Monica for all of her Instagram videos and for being the face of Pedals & Pint's social media. Greg talks about his trip to San Francisco and the beer research he was able to conduct. He also talks about the drunk lady at the airport that got chased down for not finishing her drink. Flex needs to go to the Great America Beer Festival, and Greg (with help from AI) has written a letter to his wife. And Monica breaks down how cool thiols and thiolized yeast are when it comes to making IPAs.

-

In the news: Diageo will roll out more non-alcoholic Guinness… in Ireland! Monster and Arizona are both coming out with "hard" versions of their drinks. Coca-Cola launches an alcoholic off-shoot brand. A drunk woman turns a gun on restaurant employees, only to be taken down by furniture. And Hooters will be serving Hard Mountain Dew, in case you need one less reason to go.

Greg and Erica recap her trip down to SoCal to do a little brewery hopping with the CBR crew (and Flex joined…sorta).

Flex is drinking Sidewalk Surfer Double IPA from Maplewood Brewing Company. Greg and Scott are sipping on Rising Depths, a double blurry IPA from Woven Water Brewing. 

-

We’re comparing and contrasting the Midwest and the west coast. Greg is doing some lakeside drinking and enjoying the weather. Is it always stout season? And Prestige Worldwide has yet to redeem their second place crown in trivia, but what’s with the trivia weirdos?

-

Finally, someone has figured out the dangers of driving tired vs. drunk. We also learn that riding with Scott isn’t advised. Over half of the top 50 craft breweries saw a volume decline in 2022. But Topa Topa is killing it among regional breweries. Busch Gardens is offing free beer this summer. And a man gets so drunk that he forgets his car and gives it to a stranger.

Greg and Deb are sipping on Loam IPA from The Drowned Lands Brewery (thanks, Mel!). Flex is drinking Mikerphone Brewing & BlackStack Brewing's U-Rah-Rah, a hazy IPA.

-

Deb talks about accidentally buying the wrong keg of beer and having to finish it off. Greg talks about his trip to a new local brewery and some of the awkwardness that followed. We talk about Kill the Keg parties and how awesome they are. 

-

Champagne sales skyrocket for the King's Coronation in the UK. A federal judge allows a lawsuit against Fireball to go forward. California approves the sale of RTD cocktails in stores.

We’re talking about over-hopping beers, making new beer friends, drunk drivers on the beach, breweries buying themselves back, and states that don’t let you buy booze on holidays. 

-

Flex is drinking the “What’s Your Myspace?” collab from Young Blood and Third Space Brewing. Greg and Deb are reviewing Park Hopper IPA from Smog City Brewing. 

-

Fresh off of Flex’s beer review, we discuss the importance of correctly naming your beer. Then, Greg goes to Institution Ale Company’s Tacky Tiki Party. Flex went swimming at the neighbor’s house and made new beer friends. And Deb talks about the heroic battle that ensued at Naughty Pine’s trivia night. Finally, inspired by Flex’s beer, we all talk about the good ol’ days of MySpace and our top 8. 

-

Chew Your Beer calls in to recap the live show at 818 Brewing and give his Grammy acceptance speech. 

-

The original owners of Funky Buddha and another brewery will reacquire the brewery after Constellation Brands decides to exit craft beer. The owners of Appalachian Mountain Brewery are repurchasing the brewery from AB InBev. FX Matt will acquire Flying Dog Brewery. A Florida woman drives drunk onto a beach that is full of people. And it turns out that some states have weird laws about buying alcohol on Memorial Day.

We are excited to finally try the collab beer between 818 Brewing and the homie Chew Your Beer. To celebrate the occasion, we held a live podcast with Bryan and Derrick of 818 Brewing and Chew to discuss the beer, the origin, the adjuncts, and their new pilot system. We also discuss surviving the pandemic, future plans and expansions, favorite beers to make, how we got into craft beer, and listener questions! 

-

Derrick and Bryan led us on a guided tasting of Flantastico, Valley Girl Blond, SchnuggleZ Hazy IPA, Hellyes lager, and Valhalla Barrel Aged Imperial Stout.

-

Chew and Derrick talk about how the collab came to be and why it ended up tasting the way it did, from vanilla beans to coffee additions and everything in between. 

-

Bryan explains what it took to keep a brewery open during the pandemic, lockdown, and even grow the operations. Derrick talks about his most rewarding (and hated) beer to make. The guys tell us about their relationship with Untappd, and how they use it to drive recipe creation. And we find out where everyone started in their drinking career.

-

We got some great listener questions, including inspiration about the collab, the worst hangover, and when will Chew open his own brewery?

-

A huge thank you to Bryan and Derrick Olson for allowing us to take over their brewery. Find them @818Brewing and 818brewing.com. Make sure you try some Flantastico! And thanks to Chew Your Beer for inviting us to host the release party; we had a blast! Follow Chew @ChewYourBeerOG_.

We’re so excited to share our live interview with Philly Martinez, the new head brewer at Ventura Coast Brewing Company. Philly shared his history in the industry, learning how to drink, collabing with beer friends, working for a big brewery, taking over at an established brewery, getting fired from Costco, and keeping grounded.

-

Philly shared five beers with us from VCBC: Doppelbock, Mystik Krewe Breux, Ex-Wizards, Extinction, and S’More of What.

-

We meet Philly’s parents and learn about his early days as a drinker, and how that fed his love for craft beer. He talks about his early days of brewing coffee and making other alcoholic beverages before getting a job at Modern Times. He also shares a piece of what it was like during the huge transition time his former brewery went through. That also leads to a very unique interview process at VCBC. He also talks about his jobs before brewing and the crazy stuff he got fired for. 

-

We also learn about taking over an established brewery, the unique position of slowly taking over a tap board, and how to make old recipes shine again. Finally, he tells us about his upcoming collaborations and shares insight into his brewing process. 

-

The listeners in the audience submit some great questions from Philly, and we wrap up the interview with a round of rapid-fire questions.

-

A huge thanks to Ventura Coast Brewing Company, Philly, Priya, Kyle, and the entire crew for having and hosting us. And to Geri of Daughters of Ninkasi for helping to arrange the event.

Heineken is cutting draft sales from five states. Brewdog is closing its Pittsburg location; such a shame. It turns out it’s crazy cheap to get drunk at the Masters.

Chew Your Beer also leaves a voicemail recapping his time at the festival. We also talk about jockey boxes and when does ABV hit a point of being too high? Also, tailgating: it’s fantastic.

That’s a Harbor Freight beer. Zack is making his big return as we talk about hype breweries, the Florida beer scene, ChatGPT recipes, St. Patrick’s Day beer sales, and drunk recipe books. 

-

We’re drinking Sorath, a Czech-style Dark Lager from Magnanimous Brewing in Tampa, FL, thanks to Zack.

-

Are we all tired of the awful hype breweries? Seems like it. Zack talks about his trip to Florida, where he did some major beer research and returned with some unique snacks. Greg talked about his Florida trip that involved way too much awful beer, and we talked about the old days of getting drunk on crap beer. Greg talks about getting clear, hazy IPAs and how annoying it is. And we have a live show coming up soon!

-

Chew Your Beer calls in to prove he’s okay and hasn’t disappeared. 

-

New Belgium Brewing is acquiring a Constellation production facility. It turns out we got something wrong about Cold IPAs. Diageo is closing its Guinness brewery in Maryland. Saint Patrick’s Day beer sales were a bit disappointing this year, and we all need to step it up! Virginia retailers must separate alcoholic versions of non-alcoholic brands. And the New Zealand Fire Department has released a cookbook for drunk and high people.

In this week's episode, we're joined by the fabulous Erica from NeckNosh, as we dive into the world of sour beer festivals, Utah’s hatred of fun, beer pokers, stolen beer, and the best Cold IPAs.

-

Kicking things off, Erica tantalizes our taste buds with Chance of Crowds, a hazy IPA from Alibi Ale Works, while Greg indulges in the juicy goodness of Ectogasm, a hazy from Drekker Brewing.

-

Flex tells us about his invite to a sour beer festival at Mobcraft, and we debate the best fruit for sour beers. We pitch more pretzel necklace ideas to Erica. Someone left us a glowing review on Apple Podcasts; we needed to share it! And why are the B52s so awful?! Also, Flex LOVES Sabro hops. 

-

Fontana Jim calls in to share his hatred of beer pokers. It turns out Erica owns multiple! Click here to see the video he is talking about.

-

We love to harp on Wisconsin for its weird laws surrounding underage drinking, but it turns out most states allow some form of teenage drinking. Are you in one of those states? In a real act of heroism, Fontana police recovered pallets of stolen beer. Constellation Brands beats Anheuser-Busch in a battle over the rights to Corona seltzer. Figueroa Mountain Brewing is releasing a non-alcoholic beer. And a list of the Best Cold IPAs.

Thanks to Bryan from Titletown Brewing, we're all drinking Blizzard Bay Cold IPA.

-

Flex hung out with Bryan and did some lunchtime research with some tasty beer. Greg digs up some old gift cards and gets drunk at a fancy steak house. He also dined with a celebrity.

Not-so-punk BrewDog has a beer that's over $200 and doesn't even mess you up. The National Advertising Division puts an end to MolsonCoors calling Bud Light "water." And a drunk driver gets arrested after complaining about a cop's emergency lights.

Greg is drinking Pure Project Brewing’s Monteverde murky IPA, in honor of their 7th anniversary. Flex is sipping Westwise, a west coast IPA from Casa Agria Specialty Ales.

-

Flex talks about how old he is and what he did to throw his back out. Brandon tells us about San Diego Beer News and his take on up-and-coming and new San Diego breweries.

We’re talking about lunch beers, sobering up at work, walking and drinking, the downfall of seltzers, and the drunkest states in America.

-

Greg and Spencer are sipping MadeWest’s newest porter, Moon Hands, with peanut butter, coffee, vanilla, cacao nibs, and peanuts. 

-

Greg talks about his mid-day field trip to have lunch beers on a school day and how good they go with pizza. Then we talk about how horrible it is to wake up drunk and have to sober up while working. And walking while drinking, who can do it and who can’t? (And, of course, walking-around-beers).

-

We head to Washington, DC, for the Ludicrous Libation Law.

-

In booze news, it turns out that hard seltzers are tanking in sales. Urban Artifact is back at it with expensive beers. We found out who the most and least drunk states in America are. A man is charged with DUI after peeing in the street. And a drunken man is let off the hook after fleeing from his wife.

We're talking about Dry January stats, disgusting gift beers, how much beer the government wants you to drink, and celebrity hall passes. 

-

Flex is drinking Sex and Candy from 18th Street Brewery. Greg and Coley are sipping on Shell Shock, a big stout from Martin House Brewing. 

-

Flex's beer sparks a conversation about our favorite candy and celebrity hall pass. Coley is officially famous as her Instagram got stolen. Greg has officially launched debsdicks.com, and everyone should go and check it out. And for some reason, we're charting in Slovakia!

-

Fontana Jim calls in with some new year's resolutions and is mad about Costco advent calendars.

2022 saw the lowest number of breweries apply to the TTB in almost a decade. The amount of Dry January participants has decreased. How much alcohol your government wants you to drink. And the best triple hazy IPAs of 2022.

We’re so excited to announce (and drink) our collaboration with Pedals and Pints head brewer Monica Potter: These Guavas Are Making Me Thirsty! It’s a Gose-style beer with guava added. It makes for a delightfully tart, crisp, and refreshing beer with some guava added to it and a hint of salt to balance things out. 

-

To celebrate the beer release, we shared it with a live crowd at Pedals and Pints. We talked about the collab beer, Hummingbird Lager, Born to be Mild, and Pale Rider Pale Ale. 

-

We also got to know Monica and asked about her background, love for beer, and so much more. We find out her background as a beer lover, getting into brewing and starting professionally, and how she got her start at Pedals. She also has a background in chemistry that lends perfectly to brewing. Now that she’s in charge, we get into her focus as a brewer, keeping up with demand, having so many different styles, starting to distribute, and how to stand out with so many great breweries around. 

-

After finding out about Monica, we take listener questions. And we wrap things up with a round of rapid-fire questions.

-

A huge thanks to Monica for inviting us to collaborate with her. The entire process was a blast! And another huge thank you to Pedals & Pints for allowing us to come in and have a release party and live show!

We’re talking about our drunken Christmases, weird Wisconsin foods, Murky vs. Hazy beers, end-of-the-year beer lists, and our collaboration beer with Pedals & Pints!

Mel is drinking Cup of Gold Murky DIPA from Pure Project & Alvarado Street Brewing. Flex is sipping on King Julius from Tree House Brewing. And Greg is researching Focal Banger from The Alchemist.

Big News: Greg brewed a collaboration beer with Monica from Pedals n Pints. There will be a live show on Friday, January 13, to celebrate! Intern Brian and Flex had a World Cup bet, but who’s the biggest loser? Mel talks about her very Italian Christmas and all the made-up food they ate (and wine they drank). Flex slept his way through the holiday. And thanks to illness, Greg’s festivities were quite laid back. Flex also turns us on to some weird, mid-western food. Mel’s beer leads to an important question: what’s the difference between murky and hazy? And we talked about hanging out with Mel’s husband off the air and all the craziness that ensued. 

-

Many breweries are finishing the year by closing their doors; is this a sign of what’s to come in 2023?

Greg had the opportunity to sit with the Malibu Brewing Company crew. Ryan Ahrens is the co-owner and co-founder (with Jill Ahrens), and Chas Cloud is the brewmaster.

-

The recent winners at the 2022 Great American Beer Festival talked about winning their first year, opening their brewpub just a couple months ago, and planning (or pivoting) a brewery during a pandemic. Brewmaster Chas led us on a guided tasting of their delicious beers: Canyon Rose Lager, Happy Days Honey Blonde, Wild Grove Hazy IPA, and their brand-new Double IPA.

-

We get into the pasts of Ryan and Chas as beer drinkers and find out when they got bit by the hop bug. Ryan talks about his background as a nuclear scientist and lawyer (and many other things), while Chas talks about his long experience in the local brewing community. They also share their process for recipe creation and why good ingredients are crucial to making great beer. 

-

Chas and Ryan talk about the focus of Malibu’s beer program, what sets them apart from other local breweries, and why it pairs so well with the great food in their taproom. We also find out what Chas is excited about with upcoming brews, collabs, and new hops. And it turns out Ryan also has a bit of a background in brewing. Chas also indulges us with the most annoying beer to make. 

-

We wrap up the episode with a round of rapid-fire questions!

Beergirl Melissa stops in to hang out and convince us to have a "CBR After Dark" version of the podcast. We're also talking about the sober world cup, Thanksgiving aftermath, the grossest-looking fruit, the weird saga of MacLeod Ale, and when to admit you're drunk.

-

Flex is sipping on Raspberry Tart from the elusive New Glarus Brewing. Mel is drinking Murphy's Law from District 96 and Ghost Hawk Brewing. Greg is enjoying Malibu Brewing's Oktoberfest. 

-

Are you watching the world cup? Hopefully, not from the stadium where you can't drink any beer. We're talking about our Thanksgiving break, and it turns out that there's a "pasta course" during dinner. Flex got drunk with his in-laws, and Melissa is starting a new 800 service for hot Italians. And we're tackling the big questions, like what is a snake fruit?!

-

Chew calls in to talk about Atrevida Beer in Colorado Springs.

-

MacLeod Ale out of Los Angeles is having all kinds of weird drama. San Francisco's Cellarmaker Brewing acquires The Rare Barrel. Another cop shows up drunk to work. A drunk lady hits a pole and doesn't hide it. And we have a crucial conversation about giving directions.

Coley is back, and we’re talking about dangerous drinking activities, brewery sellouts, hanging out with moose, drunken teachers, and free beer!

-

Coley brought Greg a delicious can of Jelly Not Jam, Lemon, Strawberry, and Vanilla from Burley Oak Brewing. 

-

The beer we’re drinking leads to Coley’s favorite joke of all time. Greg went axe throwing and drinking (sounds safe). Coley got hooked up with some fantastic free beer. And we address the age-old question of do we accept free beer from breweries that sell out?

-

Alaska is still coming in strong with Ludicrous Libation Laws. Any thirsty moose out there? And what’s the plural for moose? Meese? Mooses?

-

BANG! Energy drink is in trouble for some false advertising. Brewery taproom traffic is back to pre-pandemic levels. Roadhouse Brewing announces they intend to purchase Melvin Brewing. Michigan is looking to make cocktails-to-go a permanent feature. New Glarus is going to reclaim its CO2. Coronado Brewing is now distributing with Stone. And a drunken teacher gets chunked out of his bean and is banned from teaching.

Greg and Spencer are drinking West Coast Freshie from Monkish Brewing. Flex is sipping on Demo Track from Eagle Park Brewing. It’s an open-fermented West Coast IPA.

Greg went to Naughty Pine’s emo night and ran into a bunch of beer friends. Spencer talks about the most annoying questions he gets while working at a brewery. He also does a great job walking us through what an open-fermented beer is.

Maryland is making things awkward with this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law.

Boston Beer is rolling out a new tequila RTD cocktail. New York is cracking down on fake IDs…supposedly. It turns out DogfishHead isn’t worth as much as Sam Adams paid for it. A drunk guy in Florida has a spooky excuse for damaging his car. And 15 classic beers you should (maybe) revisit.

Halloween season is upon us, and we are drinking ZERO pumpkin beers! Trillium is selling their brewery, Flex is influencing new breweries, Bud light Seltzers just got worse, Greg is partying at local breweries, and the Roll Tide remix!

-

Thanks to Great Notion, the whole crew is sipping on Ripe, a hazy IPA jammed with Citra and Citra Cryo hops.

-

Flex was invited to Lion’s Tale Brewing’s soft opening of their new spot and did some excellent research. Greg stops by the 5th anniversary for 14 Cannons to sample all the new beer releases and party with the Scuba Kids. Erica and Greg are disgusted by Flex’s love of Circus Peanuts and other horrendous candy. Flex loves a lot of awful candy. He also likes hotdog-flavored beers.

-

Thanks to Alabama for this week’s very confusing Ludicrous Libation Law. Roll Tide!

-

Evil Genius Brewing is making a Burger IPA for White Castle. Bud Light is upping its gross game with new seltzer flavors. Heineken is not far behind with their new “healthy” beer. Trillium Brewing is to consolidate operations and sell its original location. And a drunk man urinates in a parking lot in Cleveland.

Thanks to Great Notion, we’re all drinking Patterns, a hazy DIPA.

Greg hit up a few spots for beer research and ran into some beer friends. The fantasy football season is going very smoothly for CBR. Deb catches a commercial stealing our theme song (and she’s Ford tough). And Flex is ready to suit up and sell pretzels at the Great American Beer Festival next year. 

-

Thanks to Iowa for being lame with this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law. 

-

Draft beer sales are thanks to the return of Football season. Packaged beers are getting more expensive than ever. Are you loving IPLs? We’ve got the top 7 according to Untappd. What’s your sign? Because we’ve got a beer for you! Erica shares her guilty pleasure beer and won’t be invited back (joking). And a teacher gets drunk on her way to school and plays a little bumper car.

Greg hit up a few spots for beer research and ran into some beer friends. The fantasy football season is going very smoothly for CBR. Deb catches a commercial stealing our theme song (and she’s Ford tough). And Flex is ready to suit up and sell pretzels at the Great American Beer Festival next year. 

-

Thanks to Iowa for being lame with this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law. 

-

Draft beer sales are thanks to the return of Football season. Packaged beers are getting more expensive than ever. Are you loving IPLs? We’ve got the top 7 according to Untappd. What’s your sign? Because we’ve got a beer for you! Erica shares her guilty pleasure beer and won’t be invited back (joking). And a teacher gets drunk on her way to school and plays a little bumper car.

Flex, of course. Erica comes in from Capistrano to hang out. We’ve got the best breweries near NFL stadiums, Flex is hulking up, Greg does a ton of road trip research, Erica is getting ready for a festival, and lagers are cool again!

Erica is drinking Numb and Number from Fall River Brewing…and totally redeems herself! Greg is sipping on Holy Bones, a Black IPA from Boneyard Beer, and Holy Mountain Brewing.

Flex has the alcohol metabolism of She-Hulk, and is gearing up for Halloween! Greg went to his first concert since Covid and did lots of research in Orange County (looking at you, Radiant). Erica is getting ready to ditch her kids and go to Aftershock. And we all talk about the importance of pre-gaming a concert. And Flex’s friend won a beer competition and had his recipe made!


The homie Chew Your Beer calls in to talk about Busta Rhymes and the beer selection at Dodger Stadium. He also has advice for Flex.


Heineken snatches up another brewery. Lagers are cool again, according to Drizly. Dunkin’ and Harpoon Brewing are at it again with some basic beer flavors. Dogfish Head is cutting costs and closing a taproom. And the best breweries near NFL stadiums.

Es ist Oktoberfest! Beergirl Melissa is joining das fest as we celebrate the beginning of Oktoberfest! We’re drinking all German-style beers, sharing Oktoberfest fun facts, doing some major day drinking, and finding out how drunk Wisconsin is.

Flex is drinking Phase Three Brewing’s Oktoberfest. Mel is sipping on Wallenpaupack Brewing’s Oktoberfest. And Greg is researching Heater Allen’s Marzen.


Mel shares the secret to getting kids out of your house (important for drinking time). Greg leaves a vacation early but finds a new spot to conduct research on the way back. The crew discusses the importance of not bringing crappy beer to festivals and the problem with good beer at dive bars. 


This week’s Ludicrous Libation Law comes from, you guessed it, Germany!


Milwaukee Brewing is being purchased by a brewery in Chicago. Wisconsinites drink a lot! Youngsters (of legal age) are buying beer for the artwork. The beer community has started “Drinking in Another State” to help the industry with reproductive care. It turns out that people are getting drunker earlier in the day. And Oktoberfest fun facts for the beginning of the festival!

Flex Drinks Bud Light Next and Lives!We hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. Flex is back! We’re talking about some new breweries, drinking with Instagram friends, trouble for hop growers, and Flex has some awful news to share about what he’s been drinking.

Flex is sipping on Desert Noise from Eagle Park Brewing. Greg is drinking Cactus Cat from Ogopogo Brewing.

Greg talks about the party Pedals & Pints threw for Emo Night and what a great job Monica and Brit did on their emo collab beer. He also got to hang out with friend-of-the-show Fontana Jim at Naughty Pine. Flex did unofficial research with friends who gave him a Bud Light Next; not most incredible friends. He also tried to get drunk from some 450 North cans, but there wasn’t any alcohol; now, he just has fruit flies. 


Chew Your Beer calls in to give Greg the business about his feelings on Untappd.


Mikkeller closes its San Diego taproom and production facility but still won’t address the real problem. In October, Maui Brewing and Modern Times will be under the “Craft Ohana” umbrella. Sapporo officially closes on their deal with Stone Brewing; another one bites the dust (this becomes a therapy session). Another San Diego brewery, Green Flash, is hitting the auction block this month. And German hop crops are not doing so well with the drought, it might be time to find some new varietals and we have questions.

We’ve got drunk city council members, Shooter McGavin arrested for a DUI, new brewery field trips, cringy open mic nights, and the cheapest cities to drink a beer!

Greg and Shannon are drinking POG Tart from Eureka Brewing Company out of Gardena, CA. Erica is sipping on Babe Brew 6 Hazy IPA from Saint-Houblon up in Canada, eh.


Are you ready for pumpkin beers? The crew is split on whether to drink them or not. Greg and Shannon accidentally walk into an open mic night at a favorite brewery, and boy, was it awkward! They also talk about the crazy drunk women at a cocktail bar that were doing their best to try and get arrested. 


We’re off to Connecticut for this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law…and we don’t concur.


Cape May Brewing is being sued over stealing (allegedly) Shore Tea. It’s official: beer is way too expensive. Allagash is adding their first core IPA to the lineup. Shooter McGavin thinks he can get out of trouble for being… Shooter McGavin. An Indiana woman leads police on a long, slow-speed chase. And we have the cheapest and most expensive cities to drink a beer in.

We’re sipping on some lagers, getting famous in the UK, talking trivia, getting angry at Untappd users, drinking some homebrew, and getting pulled over while high. 

It turns out that the UK is in love with the Craft Beer Republic. Erica talks about her big news with the Great America Beer Festival. She’s also got chicken drama and a snake that tried to attack her while she was getting a beer. Greg talks about hosting a trivia night on the gram and the a-holes that play at breweries but never buy any beer. The crew talks about the new hats in the CBR store (go check them out) and then does their best to offend everyone. And Greg brings up the Untappd reviews for Morning Watch (spoiler: he’s not pleased). 


Thanks to Vanessa, everyone is drinking Lager Me Bro, Tripping Animals Miami Beer Week collaboration beer. In the bullpen, Greg and Shannon are drinking Captain Kolsch, his latest homebrew. 


Scales, a rapper from the Nappy Roots, was robbed, kidnapped, and shot at his own brewery. Modern Times plans to lay off over 100 employees before the final sale to Maui. Sonic hard seltzer is now the official hard seltzer of a major sporting league. Mexico is looking to end beer production in the north (this leads to some inspiring stories). A Florida teen was pulled over for not being drunk, but he was very honest. And the top 10 countries that drink the most beer per capita.

Stone loses in court, a drunk tourist plunges into an empty pool, black IPAs, the idiots of Untappd, and a DUI in a golf cart…in Florida. 

Greg is sipping on Murkaveli, a double hazy from Pure Project & Weathered Souls Brewing. Scott is drinking Steamworks Brewing Black Angel IPA.


We’re topping the podcast charts in more foreign countries; wonder what they’re drinking? COVID is making its way through the CBR family, and it’s boring. Flex is doing homework from Eagle Park Brewing and their Czech Pils. Greg is still waiting for his knighthood from the Order of the Hops.


Kansas brings us this week’s (most likely) racist Ludicrous Libation Law. 


Ale Asylum’s plans fell through and had to close permanently. Monster energy drink is dropping a new malt beverage this year; strap in! A judge rejects Stone’s attempt to squash Keystone. A Florida woman is arrested for racing her golf cart down a highway. Some drunk tourist in Crete goes swimming in an empty pool. And the 12 Highest Rated Black IPAs of 2022 from Untappd.

Neck Nosh’s Erica stops in to make things extra salty with Flex and Greg. A packed show as the crew talks about the insignificance of IBUs, our big anniversary, Flex’s invite to a special beer event, getting catfished by a brewery, Sour Jim’s new business, and belligerent Buddhists.<br /><br />Flex is drinking MobCraft Beer’s Low pHunk Rad-Berry sour. Greg and Erica are sipping on Fall River Brewing - Numb Numb Juice Hazy IPA.<br /><br />Do IBUs really matter anymore? Greg has a recap of Naughty Pine’s Emo Fest. Flex was invited to MobCraft’s Weirdfest preview night and had some bizarre beers. Erica lets it out that she has zero idea of the rules of cornhole. And Greg and Erica reminisce about being hammered the weekend of the Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Festival.<br /><br />The homie Chew Your Beer calls in to tell us about getting catfished by a brewery. What is the requirement to call yourself a brewery?<br /><br />Sour Jim reveals his next venture after leaving Firestone Walker. MolsonCoors will be the first “other” alcohol to be featured at the Super Bowl. Sierra Nevada is closing their Berkley location. And a Buddhist Monk is busted for drinking the COVID away. <br /><br />Erica: <br /><a href="http://www.instagram.com/neck_nosh_llc" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/neck_nosh_llc</a> <br /><br />Flexy: <br /><a href="http://www.instagram.com/flex_me_a_beer" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/flex_me_a_beer</a> <br /><br />Craft Beer Republic: <br /><a href="http://www.CraftBeerRepublic.com" rel="noopener">www.CraftBeerRepublic.com</a> <br /><a href="http://www.instagram.com/CraftBeerRepublic" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/CraftBeerRepublic</a> <br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/CraftBeerRepublicPod" rel="noopener">www.facebook.com/CraftBeerRepublicPod</a> <br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/CraftBeerRepub" rel="noopener">www.twitter.com/CraftBeerRepub</a> <br />(805) 538-2337 <br />Use promo code UNFILTERED on Tavour.Batch313: Inbetweener BeersBatch313: Inbetweener Beers
Zack is drinking Wiseacre Brewing’s Bow Echo hazy IPA. Flex is sipping on ‘Scuse Me, a pale ale from Ope! Brewing. Greg is reviewing Brewery X’s Signature Series Volume III.

Wakeboarding is tough when you’re old; just ask Greg. At least he found a new lake beer – Firestone Walker Mind Haze Light. The crew talks about an essential beer – the intbetweener. What’s yours? Turns out the Midwest has a funny way of saying Modelo (thanks Flex), and the jury is still out on apricot. And Flex hammers the importance of setting expectations with beer names. And did you know there was a town in Canada called Dildo? They have a brewery.

Alaska is coming back around for Ludicrous Libation Laws.

Pliny the Younger brings millions in economic impact; it sounds like an important beer. Melvin Brewing is looking for a “partner”… *cough* buyer. Monday Night Brewing is expanding…again. And the highest-rated beers (so far) of 2022!

Zack is drinking The Beach Within Reach, a Berliner Weisse from Wiseacre Brewing out of Memphis, TN. Flex and Greg are both drinking Mind Haze Hopical Crush, compliments of Firestone Walker Brewing Co.

Greg talks about the upcoming emo-fest at Naughty Pine Brewing on July 16. Flex talks about his birthday extravaganza, drinking beers, not watching fireworks, and going to Wolf Lodge. Zack talks about his 4th of July, traveling food business, and being a certified carnie. Greg talks about his holiday celebrations and the Jello shots that Coley forced down his throat, as well as ending the night with multiple sours.

Greg also discovered he left a drunk voicemail while in San Diego celebrating Vanessa’s birthday.

The crew discovers that New Jersey is trying to become the worst state. EVER. Brewery X shocks everyone and pulls out of the Modern Times purchase. Scotch Whiskey is finally a certified category in the US. Get ready for some spiked coconut water. There’s a new burger/beer collaboration between Tarantula Hill and The Habit.

Flex is drinking Citrus’d, an IPA from Lion’s Tail Brewing in Wisconsin. Coley and Greg are sipping on Jelly Not Jam, a fruited sour from Burley Oak Brewing.

Greg talks about his weekend full of homebrewing, and what’s coming up for the summer. He also needs some help finishing his beer. And Coley is getting ready to mix up some Jello shots. We also start talking about some sexy mullets.

Iowa is really bringing things down in this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law.

MolsonCoors recalls their gross beer. The Qualified Captain and Cape May are collabing again on Boat Ramp Champ Helles. ABinBev is going to share the commercial space during the Super Bowl. A drunk guy loses some important, top-secret information while out on the town. And a drunk man crashes and then urinates in public.

We wrap things off with a list for Flex; the Top 10 Fruited Sours of 2022.

The couple recants their time at the Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Fest, including some great beer, meeting some beer Instagram friends in real life, the spiciest thing ever, and post-fest BBQs. They also got a VIP trip to There Does Not Exist and checked out Wild Fields Brewing.

We head to New Orleans for semi-legal drinking and driving for this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law.

Modern Times is finally going up for auction this week, but who will pay the steep price? Los Angeles-based Cellador Ales is closing their doors. Eppig Brewing in San Diego is opening a new location. New Belgium to launch an inclusive training program. And a top 5 list that is seltzer heavy.

Los Angeles-based Cellador Ales is closing their doors. Eppig Brewing in San Diego is opening a new location. New Belgium to launch an inclusive training program.

Deb and Greg are drinking Speedway Stout Double Fudge Edition from AleSmith Brewing in San Diego. Flex is sipping on Out for Delivery, a hazy IPA from Phase Three Brewing.

Greg recaps all the fun at the 14 Cannons Brews & Crews festival, including meeting everyone's favorite homie! Thanks to Fontana Jim complaining about tipping on to-go beers, people write in with their opinions. And we find out just how much Greg hates the World Cup.

Chew Your Beer drunk dials us, and he's pretty hydrated.

We're going to Minnesota for this week's (not-so) Ludicrous Libation Law.

Just as the case between Sycamore Brewing and Stone Brewing was heating up, it all just disappeared. Maui Brewing puts in a bid for Modern Times. Minnesota is now allowed to sell 4 and 6 packs to go. Would you buy the world's most expensive fermented beverage? And a drunk Amish guy tries to get home on auto-pilot but is stopped by the cops.

Fontana Jim calls in, and he’s got a couple bones to pick.

Greg has an important question: is it okay to drink at kids sporting events? And we all want to know, what booze do you sneak in with you? Erica and Greg are getting ready for the Firestone Walker Invitational beer festival in just a couple of weeks; let us know if you will be there! And NeckNosh is partnering up with a gigantic brewery in Boston!

Florida is keeping things confusing for Ludicrous Libation Laws.

Molson-Coors is doing its best to ruin anything that tastes good. Also, if you’re looking for some drugs, I guess they’ve been hiding them in coffee. Finally, drunk brothers get kicked out of EPCOT for fighting with cops and scaring kids. And Flex talks about how easy it is to get drunk at Disneyworld.

Greg is drinking Nic and his collab: Morning Watch Coffee Kölsch.

Greg made the mistake of searching reviews of Morning Watch, and Nic talks about the evil that is “Untappd.” 14 Cannons is hosting their first Brews & Crews festival on May 21, and we’ve got a promo code! Nic also talks about all the breweries that will be on hand and the music lineup, including his own band, The Scuba Kids!

The guys get Nic to open up on what the F a Cold IPA really is. He also gets nerdy and talks about two new yeast strains: one that sours without any contamination and another that eliminates the need for dry hopping.

Massachusetts is bringing the vibe down for Ludicrous Libation Law.

Huge news: 14 Cannons is opening a second tasting room and pilot system on the water. Modern Times is still in trouble; now, they’re hoping to be sold as a whole. Stone accuses Sycamore Brewing of stealing “Keep it Juicy” first. Moonlight Brewing has a new part-owner, and they’re craft again! Sad news for America’s only Trappist brewery. And Apple is trying to curb drunk driving.

Would nutrition labels on beer turn you off? They may be coming soon. Finland keeps coming back for more, and we can’t wait to visit! Ever had a beer from dirty beer lines? It’s disgusting. And Monica tells us why it’s so bad (and some horror stories). And why are craft seltzers always so bad?

Thanks, Oklahoma, for finally fixing your weird, beer-spoiling laws.

Guinness is looking to infiltrate the coffee world. A teacher shows up high, drunk, and higher to class. Florida Man is back at it, and he’s got a grenade this time. And the highest-rated hazy IPAs of 2022; sure to anger Flex.

Greg and Monica are drinking Pedals & Pints Beach Cruiser Tropical IPA; it’s Monica’s first recipe since taking over as head brewer. Flex is sipping on Eagle Park’s Maibock.

Monica gets nerdy with hops and talks about Sabro and its coconutty flavor and doubles down on the beer science with fun yeast strains. She also talks about the difficult, fun task of coming up with beer names, and why there aren’t enough sour beers. Greg went to a Chili Cookoff and Beer Festival with some friends and got recognized from the show…famous! Monica did some research at a new spot, Shadow Grove Brewing.

Bad news for Stone Brewing in their case with Sycamore Brewing. But there is good news for the craft beer industry. A couple from Arizona wants to find the drunks that crashed their wedding. Founders Brewing is now having to lay off employees. Who thrived in 2021? We have the top 50 breweries (and don’t worry, we don’t read the whole list).

A couple from Arizona wants to find the drunks that crashed their wedding. Founders Brewing is now having to lay off employees. Who thrived in 2021? We have the top 50 breweries (and don’t worry, we don’t read the whole list).<br /><br />Monica: <br /><a href="http://www.instagram.com/momoagogooo" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/momoagogooo</a> <br /><a href="https://www.pedalsandpintsbrewing.com" rel="noopener">https://www.pedalsandpintsbrewing.com</a> <br /><br />Flexy: <br /><a href="http://www.instagram.com/flex_me_a_beer" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/flex_me_a_beer</a> <br /><br />Craft Beer Republic: <br /><a href="http://www.CraftBeerRepublic.com" rel="noopener">www.CraftBeerRepublic.com</a> <br /><a href="http://www.instagram.com/CraftBeerRepublic" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/CraftBeerRepublic</a> <br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/CraftBeerRepublicPod" rel="noopener">www.facebook.com/CraftBeerRepublicPod</a> <br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/CraftBeerRepub" rel="noopener">www.twitter.com/CraftBeerRepub</a> <br />(805) 538-2337Batch301: Après-Ski Accident BeersBatch301: Après-Ski Accident Beers
Flex is drinking Crippling Predictions from Modist Brewing and Blackstact Brewing. Mel is sipping on Babe Brew 2, an Imperial Stout from Microbrasserie Labrosse and Brew Babes Family. Greg is researching Flames of Eden, the International Women’s Day collab brew from Pure Brewing.

Greg talks about drinking his way through Mammoth on his recent ski trip and the worst fall he ever had on the slopes. Turns out Mel was a ski instructor. Flex continues his opening day tradition and gets hydrated at a Brewer’s game. It turns out that you can’t drink at Jets games; why even go? And the only way to tailgate at Dodger games is to hide in your car.

This week’s Ludicrous Libation Law comes straight from New York City.

Stone Brewing is trying to squeeze even more out of MolsonCoors. But Sycamore Brewing is suing Stone over the name of a new beer. Modern Times is up on the auction block. BrewDog closes its Indianapolis taproom. New Belgium and Bells Brewing officially merged and started letting people go. A man goes on the all-beer diet for lent and comes out better for it.

Go support the Mel and the Allyson Whitney foundation @allyson4rare. And a huge thanks to everyone that came out for our live show at Naughty Pine Brewing.

The show starts with a guided tasting of Sturdy-B Pilsner, followed by Supply Chain Deficit Rye Amber, Alligator Skin Belgian IPA (Pink Boots Brew), and 17 Hundred British Brown Ale.

Brit and Greg talk about what got her into the beer industry, why she hates homebrewing, and her “gateway” craft beer. This leads to a discussion about her love for making lagers (the right way), working for a popular German-style brewery, and starting a brewery (with no experience) in Hawaii.

The discussion turned to Naughty Pine Brewing, which has been open for six months now. Now at the helm of Naughty Pine, she can brew exactly what she wants and design the taproom how she wants. The inspiration behind it is straight out of the early 1900s. She also tells us her biggest taproom pet peeves. The show ends with rapid-fire questions where we find out her favorite word for being drunk.

A huge thank you to Brittany for allowing us to record our 300th episode at her brewery and for taking the time to come on the show and share her beer. Thank you to everyone that came out to watch and drink along. And thanks to the NP staff for taking such good care of everyone!

Toppling Goliath and Untitled Art got together and made a delicious love child named Think Piece, and that’s what Flex is drinking. Coley and Greg are drinking Intent to Swing, a hazy DIPA from Topa Topa Brewing, in honor of baseball season.

The crew is trying to sample as many of the Pink Boots collab brews as possible; which have you tried? Don’t forget to leave an Untappd review for the 14 Cannons Collab Brew: Morning Watch. And come out to Naughty Pine Brewing on April 16 for a live Batch 300!

Utah is keeping things weird in Ludicrous Libation Laws. How can you hate happy hour?

A paralyzed man orders a beer with the help of new technology; can you blame him? Massachusetts extends its to-go alcohol laws. Science says that alcohol may shrink your brain; challenge accepted. And the highest rated beers (so far) of 2022.

Thanks to Firestone Walker for making sure we were able to try one of their latest releases, Hopnosis. It’s their new IPA brewed exclusively with Cryo hops.

Greg touches on the tragic loss of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins. Don’t forget to come party with us at 5:30 PM on April 16 at Naughty Pine Brewing for our 300th episode! Coley tackled kids tee-ball without any alcohol. And you know we couldn’t pass the opportunity to talk about Wrestlemania 38. After all, everyone’s favorite beer drinker made a HUGE return!

Texas is really bringing the goods with this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law.

Stone Brewing racked up a massive win against MolsonCoors. So now MC is looking to rebrand…duh! Yakima Chief Hops scores a new patent for their cryo hop technology; it gets pretty nerdy. Busch Lite wants you to pee in their beer; no, seriously. We all need to do our parts as beer shipments are down in the US for the first couple months of the year. Breweries in Pennsylvania are teaming up to create one big hippy commune. And a new hurdle for Flex as he tries to buy Milwaukee Brewing.

Have you had a chance to try the 14 Cannons/Craft Beer Republic collaboration beer? We want to know what you think! And thanks to the listeners for the feedback on some of our changes; we always like hearing from you!

Erica is sipping on Babe Brew 1, a Helles from Bone Haus Brewing, collaborating with the Beer Babes Family. Greg is drinking Pit-bulls And Palm Trees, a hazy double IPA collab from Tripping Animals and Crowns & Hops.

Greg did a bit of traveling and drinking. First, he went to San Luis Obispo and stopped at Antigua Brewing, Oak & Otter, There Does Not Exist, and Bang the Drum. He even hit up a couple wine spots. Then he went up to Ojai for some wine and checked out a new brewery. Flex and Greg perform a bit of Masterdrunk Theatre to reenact Greg’s trip to a weird brewery with a beertender that was full jerk-mode.

It turns out that North Dakota hates pretzels and beer. So Erica won’t be going anytime soon.

It’s time to make Flex angry with the 10 Best Imperial/Double Stouts of 2022. Milwaukee Brewing is for sale; do you know anyone in the area? If you’re trying to be healthy, a probiotic beer is hitting the market. A drunk stranger breaks into a stranger's house and hangs out with their cat. And another drunk man gets arrested after fighting the medics trying to help him.

Mark your calendars: April 16, 2022, at 5:30 PM. Our live show and Batch 300 party at Naughty Pine Brewing in Westlake Village, CA.

Thanks to Erica, we are all sharing the same beer today: New Glory Craft Brewery and New Belgium Brewing’s Cargo Short Flex. The perfect beer name.

Greg gives a recap of the live show from 14 Cannons and announces the next live show: Batch 300, LIVE from Naughty Pine Brewing on April 16! The crew discovers they’re too old for St. Patrick’s Day, talks about getting really hydrated on a school night, weirdos trying to pay Erica for the pretzel necklace around her neck, and all the people at beer festivals that have too many opinions. Flex also got invited to a sour festival preview at Mob Craft Brewing.

Fontana Jim calls in to share his lousy weekend of beer buying.

Utah is coming in strong for this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law.

Speaking of Utah, they’re passing a law that will ban hard seltzers. Stone Brewing and Molson Coors finally have their day in court; it’s not looking great for Stone. Heineken stopped selling their garbage in Russia. And a drunk man in Utah crashes onto a golf course. But have you ever golfed sober?

Everyone in attendance had the Podcast Flight which included Patient Pilsner, California Coffee Republic Nitro Cold Brew, Morning Watch Coffee Kölsch, and Wreck Yo Ship TIPA. Nic led everyone on a guided tasting as he talked about the various ingredients, brewing process, tasting notes, and all-around beer nerdiness.

The duo also talked a bit about 14 Cannons beginnings and leading up to now, 4 ½ years later. What led up to the collaboration, and the really fun coffee nerdiness that everyone got into on the day of the brew day. Will brough multiple coffees to sample alongside the ingredients of the beer, and based on the hops being used, an Ethiopian blend was used. Nic also talks about the process of brewing a coffee to put on tap at a brewery.

Greg gets Nic to talk about what annoys him when it comes to taproom shenanigans. He also discusses the process of making Wreck Yo Ship, hopping during and after fermentation, what that does to the beer, and how it can cause your fermenter to explode.

Everything gets wrapped up with a round of rapid-fire questions where we find out Nic’s first beer, beer & food pairings, favorite local beers, and his favorite word for being drunk. The crowd chimes in with their favorite drunk words as well.

A huge thank you to Nic and 14 Cannons for not only allowing us to collab on a beer, but also be the host of our first live show since the pandemic started. It felt so good to drink with real people!

Greg and Coley are drinking Star God, a hazy IPA from There Does Not Exist. Flex is getting into the St. Patrick’s Day spirit with The Knot from Phase Three Brewing.

Flex went to his first concert since the pandemic. He loaded up with beer, went to emo fest, and still can’t talk. Coley and Greg spent the weekend at 14 Cannons and Naughty Pine Brewing for a couple of amazing Pink Boots collaboration brews.

Turns out that Kentucky is very strict on people sending alcohol gifts. Calm down!

The homie Chew You Beer calls in to talk about his birthday weekend shenanigans, brewery tour, and his excitement for meeting Greg the first time.

The Brewer’s Association has updated lots of language for beer styles, including IPAs of various temperatures. Modern Times is now seeking a buyer or investor after closing most of their taprooms. The CEO of Threes Brewing steps down after his less than classy comments over vaccine mandates and the Holocaust. Look out, Florida Man; Mountain Dew Hard Seltzers are finally hitting shelves just in time for your spring break! Matthew McConaughey very strongly endorses Troy Aikman’s new EIGHT beer, like very strongly. And Molson Coors has to ruin a great thing with Vizzy’s new mimosa flavors.

Greg found a beer from Indiana and is sipping on No Sparge Imperial Golden from Taxman Brewing Company. Flex is drinking Trouble’s Coming, a triple IPA from Eagle Park Brewing. Zack is researching Party Business, a hazy from Off Square Brewing.

The guys talk about some of the recent beer research they’ve been conducting (Naughty Pine and Poseidon Brewing). That leads to talking about all the awful people that post on Untappd. Greg made Zack a custom beer label, now breweries are fighting to brew the “Adjunct Mother F***ker” beer. And don’t forget: live podcast at 14 Cannons on March 10 with the release of our Coffee Kölsch!

You know you’re in for a treat when Florida provides us a Ludicrous Libation Law.

Turns out that the top brass at Boston Beer are making quite a bit of cash. Hawaii is looking to lower the BAC limit for drivers, but is there science behind it? Greg finds a drunk buy passed out in the middle of the road. And a politician gets drunk and starts making children cry.

Greg kicks off the beer research with K-17, a Czech Dark Lager from 14 Cannons. Luckily Nic is around to provide all the details and process. In addition, Nic is drinking Yuzu for Papa, a slated wheat beer from Green Cheek Brewing.

The big news of the day is the official release date and live podcast for our collaboration beer with 14 Cannons on March 10. We still need help naming our Coffee Kölsch, so please help us out! Nic also talks about the release party for Wreck Yo Ship, a 10.5% triple IPA, on February 26. Flex gets him to talk about making such a big beer and keeping it balanced. And this year, they’re opening their Pink Boots brew day to the public, so make sure you check that out! The guys also talk about the Super Bowl and how awesome that halftime show was.

Thanks to Connecticut for the Ludicrous Libation Law. Now no one wants to visit.

Breaking news in the craft world, Modern Times is closing most of its locations. 14 Cannons is hosting their first beer festival in May; stay tuned for more on that! The recently acquired Oscar Blues quietly closed one of their taprooms. Are we seeing the “reckoning” of the craft world? Nic lends his expertise to the closures of all these breweries. According to the Treasury Department, AB InBev and Molson are forcing people to overpay for beer. Nic talks about the difficulty in distribution laws and getting beer to market. The CEO of Threes Brewing is causing quite a stir after some horrible tweets. And two drunk sisters fight naked at Disneyworld; who knew Disney could be that fun?

Greg is getting the research started with Baxter, a Cold IPA from Fremont Brewing in Seattle. Flex is redeeming the pink beers with Fatty’s Beer Works Cotton Candy Milkshake IPA.

The crew celebrates the end of Dry January, not that anyone participated. The Super Bowl is around the corner; who’s getting ready to party? National Hangover Day and Valentine’s Day are one in the same this year; what will you be doing? And Greg has some massive news about a collaboration brew with 14 Cannons and California Coffee Republic.

California coming in strong with some dumb rules in this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law.

Green Flash’s brewery is still for sale if you’ve got the cash. Budweiser is dropping a new, non-alcoholic energy in India. Also gross, AB InBev is releasing a zero-carb beer. The Colorado Beer Guy hits all the breweries in Colorado in record time. And Dick Leinenkugel is leaving his post at Leinenkugels.

Flex kick-starts the research session with Hidden Meanings, a Double NE IPA from Good City Brewing in Milwaukee, WI. Next, Greg warms up in the bullpen with Death and Taxes, a San Francisco-style black lager from Moonlight Brewing Company in Santa Rosa, CA.

Greg has an admission: he got really drunk over the weekend due to the 49ers winning and moving on in the playoffs. What started as a research day turned into mixing booze, drunk messaging, and a lost night. It also turns out that he has a weird hangover remedy. Erica gets sloppy and reaches for a Bloody Mary. Flex grabbed a friend and went out for some essential lunch beers; the work never stops. Do you have a specific drink to help you with the hangover blues?

Thanks to Georgia for bringing some sanity to this crazy world and allowing people to drink outside. Are you a fan of “walking around beers”?

Monster Energy Drinks throws down some cash and buys CANarchy Craft Beer Collective. Turns out Molson isn’t just selling off the St. Archer taproom; they’re done altogether. The former Green Flash brewery and taproom is up for sale if you’re looking for a major brewery to open. Budweiser is putting a golden ticket in some beer boxes...sort of. And BrewDog is in more trouble, this time for lying to the government.

Greg learned about quite possibly the best drinking game in existence: Beerio Kart. Now we must find a way to hold an official CBR tournament. The crew talks about the importance of drunk snacks and where to get the best ones. Coley talks about her quarantine after testing positive for COVID.

Thanks to Maine for taking the fun out of this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law.

We’ve got a list of the world’s worst beers, thanks to Beer Advocate.

Uinta Brewing is the latest casualty in a recent string of craft brewery buyouts. Corona is launching a “healthy” beer, just in time to get bikini-ready. Bacardi is launching non-alcoholic spirits, but why? A drunk woman hits a dear, loads it into her car, and then gets a huge surprise. And an 18-year-old drunk driver kicked and bit officers after blowing a stop sign.

Greg kicks off the beer research with Fantastic, an IPA from Societe Brewing & Beachwood Brewing. Zack is sipping on Blackberry Double Marbles, a milkshake IPA from More Brewing Company in Huntley, IL.

Zack got in touch with us after we spent a few minutes talking about how much we don’t appreciate Indiana back on Batch 285. Not only is he an Indiana native, but he also works for a craft beer distributor and knows his way around the craft scene. He sets Flex straight on the good parts of IN and fills us in on some super weird alcohol laws.

The homie Chew Your Beer calls and drops a fresh voicemail on us.

We found out the best-rated American IPAs in 2021; did it make Flex angry?

The sale of Bell’s Brewing is official; welcome to the dark side. Pabst Blue Ribbon drops some very lively tweets comparing Dry January to licking certain body parts. Kings & Convicts have acquired the old Sant Archer taproom. It turns out that SweetWater and Tilray didn’t have to pay all that much for Green Flash and Alpine Beer. And Troy Aikman is dropping his own lager with a super creative name.

Bad news for London, they’re about to run out of beer. Is it time for Londoners to learn how to brew? To make things worse, Heineken is launching 0.0 on tap. AB InBev is working with scientists to recycle spent grain.

Intern Brian is sipping on The Butcher, an Imperial Stout from Societe Brewing Company.<br /><br />It turns out that the Craft Beer Republic is still worldwide and doing better than ever in Finland. Greg ran into a listener who handed over some free beer. Brian and Flex have been doing some research from home. And Greg talks about his very boozy road trip, including stops at Firestone and a few other breweries. <br /><br />Turns out that Deadwood, South Dakota, has some weirdness around mixing drinks.<br /><br />Bad news for London, they’re about to run out of beer. Is it time for Londoners to learn how to brew? To make things worse, Heineken is launching 0.0 on tap. AB InBev is working with scientists to recycle spent grain.<br /><br />Brian: <br /><a href="http://www.instagram.com/ucsbrian" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/ucsbrian</a> <br /><br />Flex: <br /><a href="http://www.instagram.com/flex_me_a_beer" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/flex_me_a_beer</a> <br /><br />Craft Beer Republic: <br /><a href="http://www.CraftBeerRepublic.com" rel="noopener">www.CraftBeerRepublic.com</a> <br /><a href="http://www.instagram.com/CraftBeerRepublic" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/CraftBeerRepublic</a> <br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/CraftBeerRepublicPod" rel="noopener">www.facebook.com/CraftBeerRepublicPod</a> <br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/CraftBeerRepub" rel="noopener">www.twitter.com/CraftBeerRepub</a> <br />(805) 538-2337 <br />Use promo code UNFILTERED on Tavour.Batch280: New Thanksgiving Traditions & The Perfect Beer AlgorithmBatch280: New Thanksgiving Traditions & The Perfect Beer Algorithm
Flex kicks off the hydration with a review of Abracadaver, a double IPA from Modist Brewing. Next, Greg is sipping on Slush Doggie Dogg Vol. 2 Blue Razz Style, a heavily fruited sour from Local Craft Beer in collaboration with Sippin With Sky and Bay Area Craft King.

The crew discusses their Thanksgiving holiday and some new traditions. Brian talks about his love/hate relationship with eggnog, and Flex got burnt by his own beer-buying algorithm. Also, Erica finds one more way to gross us out even more with her holiday beverages.

Coley finally pays up on the NBA bet between the Republic and Booze League, making her the only member to honor her side.

Shout out to Alabama for leaving us with more questions than answers.

Drizly is partnering with 7-Eleven to get more booze into more livers. Constellation Brands is getting friendly with Monster energy drinks. Russian River will host the Pliny the Younger release in-person in 2022.

To kick off Thanksgiving, we’re drinking beers that make us think of turkey day. First is Sierra Nevada’s Celebration fresh hop IPA. Then, for dessert, we’re stepping outside the box with Main & Mill Brewing Company’s HoliDaze Halloween stout. One of these beers is great!

Holiday beverages are essential, and we’re talking about the best (and worst) holiday beverages and what beers really bring in the winter. A line is drawn when it comes to eggnog.

What’s America’s Thanksgiving drink of choice? How about the drunkest states on turkey day? We’ve got your Thanksgiving Fun Facts.

Delaware is providing this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law; make sure you stock up on beer ahead of time!

Who brews it best? We have Beer and Brewing’s Best Beer of 2021. Maui Brewing is moving its operations to the mainland. And two drunk men are arrested for bringing a knife to a gunfight, or was it a gun to a knife fight?

Greg talks about guesting on the I Like to Like Things podcast to give some homebrewing tips. Coley, Greg, and their spouses went to a wine event and ended up stumbling to a brewery to keep the party going; it’s those Sundays that lead to rough Mondays. Flex talks about his lunchtime research at Eagle Park Brewing.

In huge, breaking craft beer news, New Belgium buys Bell’s Brewing. The United States and European Union reached a deal to make booze cheaper. Have you ever thought about fast food flavored hooch? Arby’s definitely has.

Flex sent Greg and Deb Triadic Harmonies, a triple IPA from Phase Three Brewing, one of his favorite Wisconsin breweries. Next up is a review of Raised by Dingoes, an IPA from Paperback Brewing Company.

Flex tells us all about his trip to Disneyworld, trying to hunt down good beer, and the strange, phallic shapes at his hotel. Greg went on a road trip to meet up with some friends and do a little beer research, including a “secret” beer bar. Deb had some family in town, who was nice enough to bring some excellent whiskey over…which promptly disappeared.

On an all-new Masterdrunk Theatre, listener Brandon shares his text string of quitting his job.

Thanks to Vermont for this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law and for putting baby in a corner.

November 28th is the third annual Small Brewery Sunday; get your drinking shoes ready! A drunk teenager in India shoots himself (spoiler alert: he’s mostly fine). Tavour has the three 2021 craft beer flavor trends.

Turns out they still love us in Finland! Deb went trick-or-treating with some rich people and very fancy wine, with a hangover to match. Flex hit the streets with his kids and some roadies; it turns out his neighborhood loves their drinks. Greg wins a costume contest with some friends of the show and is ready to brag. And did you know the Rock is a rapper now?

This week’s Ludicrous Libation Law isn’t so ludicrous after all; thanks, Nevada!

Deschutes will be closing their Roanoke, VA tasting room this year. Anchor Brewing is looking to save a ton of water with their new system. Stone Brewing is getting evicted from their Napa taproom after some strange circumstances. And Sam Adams is making a beer that has traveled to space!

Both Josh and Ben come from Pennsylvania, where apparently they have some bizarre alcohol laws. Ben moved out to California and ended up winning an Emmy as a producer from Entertainment Tonight. Josh talks about his career as a scientist and transitioning into beer. The two met over beers, and it was love at first sip, in a business sort of way.

Lawless may only be a few months old, but they just won gold (and a couple of bronze) at the California Craft Brewers Cup. Just as important as the win? The after (and before) party! Josh talks about his recipe creation and naming process and why sessionable beers are so needed at breweries. The guys also discuss the really cool location, the nod to the old Hollywood business that used to reside in the building, and their new satellite taproom. Next, Josh talks about his dream collaborations and their future plans for the brewery. Finally, the crew finished with a round of rapid-fire questions, and we find out a new term for being drunk.

We’re lead on a guided tasting of some great beers: NoHo BoHo, Academy Gold, Blacklight Czech Dark Lager, Lightbulb Lager, Dankershim IPA, Magic Hour, Soft Focus, Birns & Sour, and Lawless Latte golden stout.

A big thanks to Ben and Josh for their time and for sharing some great beer!

The guys also discuss the really cool location, the nod to the old Hollywood business that used to reside in the building, and their new satellite taproom. Next, Josh talks about his dream collaborations and their future plans for the brewery. Finally, the crew finished with a round of rapid-fire questions, and we find out a new term for being drunk. <br /><br />We’re lead on a guided tasting of some great beers: NoHo BoHo, Academy Gold, Blacklight Czech Dark Lager, Lightbulb Lager, Dankershim IPA, Magic Hour, Soft Focus, Birns & Sour, and Lawless Latte golden stout.<br /><br />A big thanks to Ben and Josh for their time and for sharing some great beer!<br /><br />Lawless Brewing Company:<br /><a href="http://www.lawlessbeer.com" rel="noopener">www.lawlessbeer.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.instagram.com/lawlessbeer" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/lawlessbeer</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/lawlessbeer" rel="noopener">www.facebook.com/lawlessbeer</a> <br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/lawlessbeer" rel="noopener">www.twitter.com/lawlessbeer</a> <br /><br />Craft Beer Republic:<br /><a href="http://www.CraftBeerRepublic.com" rel="noopener">www.CraftBeerRepublic.com</a> <br /><a href="http://www.instagram.com/CraftBeerRepublic" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/CraftBeerRepublic</a> <br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/CraftBeerRepublicPod" rel="noopener">www.facebook.com/CraftBeerRepublicPod</a> <br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/CraftBeerRepub" rel="noopener">www.twitter.com/CraftBeerRepub</a> <br />(805) 538-2337Batch274: We're Kind Of A Big Deal In FinlandBatch274: We're Kind Of A Big Deal In Finland
Flex is drinking Smashing Yuzu, a cold sour IPA from Eagle Park Brewing. Erica is reviewing Pretzel Bier from Captain Lawrence and Snyder's Pretzels. Finally, Greg is drinking and talking about Czech Rendezvous, his latest homebrew.

Greg and Erica were able to get outside and attend a couple of beer festivals; Greg went to Surf n Suds to hang out with the Booze League crew. Erica was slinging pretzels at Capital Beerfest in Sacramento, CA. Flex scored some rare beer at a kid's birthday party. And it turns out, we're really popular over in Finland. Who knew?

Listener Jay writes in to talk about his beer-drinking adventures on a road trip across the Midwest. He throws Coley under the bus in the process.

Our Ludicrous Libation Law comes to us from those underage drinkers in Arkansas.

Uber completes their buyout of Drizly, the alcohol delivery platform. Sierra Nevada to launch and upscale hard tea brand; will it come with crumpets? Which state is the most tolerant of drunk and high employees? Get packing. And a bartender quits his job after his manager tells him not to get drunk on his days off.

Greg and Coley are sipping on Radiant Beer Company's collaboration with Topa Topa Brewing, a dark Kolsch called Am I Even Kölsch? After that, they get hoppy with Wild Sparrow from Pure Project Brewing.

Flex was (finally) able to drop the kids at school and head off to do some needed research. Coley went to her boss's vacation house to shoot guns, make wine, mix cocktails, and drink beer through a straw…quite the weekend! There's a significant discussion on beer-straw drinking and when it's necessary. Especially when costumes are involved. Greg went on an anniversary trip and drank his way through the countryside.

Ohio coming in strong for some Ludicrous Libation Laws; don't get your fish drunk.

An elderly woman recovers from COVID and celebrates by pounding a beer. Doordash is expanding its deliveries to include booze. And Molson Coors is being sued again for claiming Vizzy is healthy.

We get an update from Flex about all those seltzers he had to pound. Then, Greg and Coley hit up 14 Cannons for some research and to celebrate their 4th anniversary. Listener Davis writes in to talk about some ludicrous libation laws and shares a drunk story. Coley is heading to a big beer festival this weekend, and it conjures up stories of her husband Nick falling asleep at beer events.

Fontana Jim calls in to share some wisdom about getting older and eating burritos. Also, what are your favorite burrito toppings?

Sam Adams is rereleasing the 28% Utopias again, this time for a cool $240. A missing drunk man accidentally joins a search party…for himself. Stone distribution picks up some great local breweries. And good news for Flex, Boston Beer is opening up at Truly Taproom.

Jack talks about his history as a beer lover and his life before beer (hint, kids were involved). He also talks about the early days of starting a home-brew co-op, selling his beer to friends, and what ultimately led to partnering up with Brewmaster Casey Harris and stealing him away from Stone Brewing.

Greg and Jack also talk about expanding while staying local, and dialing in a new production facility during a pandemic. They also talk about the focus of Topa Topa when it comes to beer production, how not to describe a beer to a brewer, and switching to an off-site business model. Finally, the two wrap things up with a round of rapid-fire questions and find out Jack’s favorite word for being drunk.

Jack leads us on a guided tasting of a bunch of great beers: Tie Dye in the Sky, Dos Topas lager, Caseys’ Kolsch, Tux Nitro Milk Stout, Level Line Pale Ale, their Solitude Series with Waimea, Spectro Hazy IPA, and of course Chief Peak IPA.

A huge thanks to Jack for his time and for sharing some amazing beer!

Greg kicks off the hydration with Stone Brewing’s 12.5% 25th Anniversary Triple IPA. Melissa is drinking Humble Sea Brewing’s Orange Cream Socks & Sandals.

This week, the Republic received two voicemails; first, Fontana Jim calls in to talk about getting wasted at pour-your-own beer bars. Then ChewYourBeer drops a line to talk about a bad experience he had at a local brewery.

Greg went to a pyramid scheme presentation just to get some free beer. At the same time, Melissa admits that she’s a sucker for schemes as long as free alcohol is involved.

The moment we’ve all waited for, Flex cashed in on his promise to drink Bud Light’s pumpkin spice seltzer if Melissa would join the show. Is there any chance that he ended up liking it? Maybe it was tasty?

We recap just a few of the notable winners from the Great America Beer Festival. Anheuser-Busch is launching a non-alcoholic version of Stella. And North Dakota has the drunkest drivers in America, but who rounds out the top five?

New York is weirding us out with this week’s Ludacris Libation Law.

Erica starts off the hydration with Fall River Brewing Co’s Hexagenia, a five hop IPA. Greg is drinking for a cause with F*Cancer from Silver Moon Brewing. An IPA with proceeds going to a variety of cancer charities.

It turns out a lot of the listeners were not down for pancakes and beer; what’s the problem? Greg had a homebrewing adventure and interviewed one of his favorite local breweries. Erica comes packing with her doctor-approved hangover cure.

Jason, aka ExceptionalGrogs calls in, and we find out he works on a huge TV show. Unfortunately, he’s also not having a blast down under.

Blue Moon is releasing a hazy, but why? Natty Lite is launching a flavored spirits brand for all the desperate college kids. A drunk teacher in Indiana was arrested for having an extended lunch break. And a man was arrested for getting drunk and dragging his boat home, sans trailer.

Thanks to Oregon for this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law; apparently, they like snacks.

Erica is teaming up with Flex and Greg to talk about the worst beer around, teachers getting drunk on the job, drinking beer for a good cause, and some weird drinking laws up in Oregon.<br /><br />Erica starts off the hydration with Fall River Brewing Co’s Hexagenia, a five hop IPA. Greg is drinking for a cause with F*Cancer from Silver Moon Brewing. An IPA with proceeds going to a variety of cancer charities. <br /><br />It turns out a lot of the listeners were not down for pancakes and beer; what’s the problem? Greg had a homebrewing adventure and interviewed one of his favorite local breweries. Erica comes packing with her doctor-approved hangover cure. <br /><br />Jason, aka ExceptionalGrogs calls in, and we find out he works on a huge TV show. Unfortunately, he’s also not having a blast down under.<br /><br />Blue Moon is releasing a hazy, but why? Natty Lite is launching a flavored spirits brand for all the desperate college kids. A drunk teacher in Indiana was arrested for having an extended lunch break. And a man was arrested for getting drunk and dragging his boat home, sans trailer. <br /><br />Thanks to Oregon for this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law; apparently, they like snacks.<br /><br />Erica:<br /><a href="http://www.instagram.com/necknosh" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/necknosh</a><br /><a href="http://www.necknosh.com" rel="noopener">www.necknosh.com</a> <br /><br />Flex:<br /><a href="http://www.instagram.com/flex_me_a_beer" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/flex_me_a_beer</a><br /><br />Craft Beer Republic:<br /><a href="http://www.CraftBeerRepublic.com" rel="noopener">www.CraftBeerRepublic.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.instagram.com/CraftBeerRepublic" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/CraftBeerRepublic</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/CraftBeerRepublicPod" rel="noopener">www.facebook.com/CraftBeerRepublicPod</a><br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/CraftBeerRepub" rel="noopener">www.twitter.com/CraftBeerRepub</a><br />(805) 538-2337Batch268: Labor Day Pains and Hangover DonutsBatch268: Labor Day Pains and Hangover Donuts
Greg starts off the beer research with a review of Big Papaya from Great Notion Brewing. Next, Flex is reviewing Eagle Park Brewing’s Pink Guava Milkshake IPA.

The NFL season is upon us. Do you have your teams drafted and beers chilled? Greg does a little research for Intern Brian’s birthday, and samples some heavy hitters for Labor Day. Flex share’s his unique hangover cure to kick start his day.

ChewYourBeer hits us up and drops a voicemail and his custom intro music!

Iowa is confusing the heck out of us with this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law.

New Glarus Brewing is being sued by its investors, but are they just money-hungry? Mission Brewery, an OG in the craft scene, has been sold to an investment group. Deschutes Brewery is getting into sports. Bud Light launches Pumpkin Spice spiked seltzer; WHY? And Brienne Allan, aka ratmagnet, is leaving Notch Brewing.

Greg and Coley start off the hydration with Bistro Pink Guava Kiwi Banana Smoothie, a fruited sour from Energy City Brewing. Then, they move their way to something hoppier with Stone’s new Hazy IPA.

Greg does some brewery research with friends, but things get awkward when a blind date shows up. Did you ever swipe right (or left?) while at a brewery? Coley comes packing with a new entrance song, and she’s ready to kick ass.

IHOP is adding beer and wine to their menu. Do we think that’s necessary? Budweiser is releasing a BBQ-themed candle. Lagunitas is going to focus on hard sparkling teas; who was asking for this? 7-Eleven is going to start delivering booze in Florida; is that what Florida really needs? Sri Lanka finally bans the drunk driving of elephants. A man on a Frontier flight has to be duct-taped after getting drunk and fighting flight attendants.

Texas comes in strong with this week’s Ludacris Libation Law, and it turns out they don’t like books.

Flex kicks off the hydration with Nelson Revengeance, a Double IPA collab from Mason Ale Works and Beer Zombies Beer Co. Next, Greg and Coley conduct beer science on two pickle goses from Texas: Martin House Brewing’s Best Maid Sour Pickle Beer and 903 Brewers Pickle Gose.

We get down to important business: what is Coley’s entrance music? We also have to address the fact that she and the Booze League have not paid up on their NBA Finals bet. We also are one step closer to knowing who left the voicemail for us last week, and a listener writes in to corroborate with Flex.

Boston Beer is getting in bed with Pepsi for a Mt. Dew hard seltzer, but why? In addition, the FTC is investigating the partnership between GoPuff & Uber. And for another “but why?” story, Goose Island is releasing a cola version of Bourbon County.

Thanks to Pennsylvania for this week’s Ludacris Libation Law. Hint, it requires some driving around.

Deb and Greg are in charge of the research today. First up is Pursuit of Happiness, a hazy IPA from Arrow Lodge Brewing in Covina, CA. Next up is dessert (or breakfast) with Cinnamon Roast Crunch from Noble Ale Works. Get ready for some nostalgia.

Greg went out for some beer research in the mountains and doesn’t have much to report. He also ran roughshod on the beer pong table for the weekend. Deb brings up a fundamental question (especially with our love for 80s wrestling), what is everyone’s entrance music? (Let us know!)

We received a voicemail from a listener that spurred quite the controversy.

Turns out Hawaii is not a fan of double fisting. They’re very strict on how many drinks you can buy.

Dogfish Head launches Let’s Get Lost, a new whiskey. Molson Coors is right on their tail with Five Trail, a blended whiskey. Boston Beer isn’t doing so well in the beer category, but they’re selling tons of seltzer. And a drunk guy in El Paso goes on a crime spree and steals a donut truck.

Greg got some excellent birthday beer and talks about the surprise from his wife. Then, we follow up on Flex’s claim that Old Fashioned cocktails are the big drink in Wisconsin. And it turns out the Booze League is trying to get out of our NBA bet.

Listener @ChewYourBeer calls in to tell us about his recent field trip to 14 Cannons.

Thanks to Alaska for this week’s crazy alcohol law.

Molson Coors is trying to go premium and is dumping their cheap brands. So a man spends $28 on a Sam Adams at LaGuardia airport and sparks internet outrage. And a drunk person breaks into a family’s home and poos in their kettle, vomits on the floor, and falls asleep on the sofa.

Greg kicks off the hydration with a review of East Brother Beer Co’s (simply named) Double IPA. A classic, west coast, double. Next, Flex is sipping on One Million Blueberries (did you read that like Dr. Evil?) from Moksa Brewing Company in Rocklin, CA. And Erica is drinking Illa Vanilla, a milkshake IPA from Full Circle Brewing.

Erica went out to become one with nature and drink a lot of beer over the weekend. Flex has been partying in the streets since the Bucks won the finals. Speaking of the Bucks, looks like we won our bet against the Booze League (suckers). Beer research in Ventura, CA, and Greg takes the party to jury duty.

Thanks to Wisconsin for providing our crazy alcohol rule of the day!

The Senate has proposed to decriminalize marijuana; can we see it in beer soon? Speaking of, Houston’s 8th Wonder Launches Delta 8, a seltzer with THC in it. The employees at Great Lakes Brewing are trying to unionize…with the steelworkers? And canned cocktails are really getting a boost.

In case you missed it, we definitely won our NBA finals bet against the Booze League.

And canned cocktails are really getting a boost.<br /><br />In case you missed it, we definitely won our NBA finals bet against the Booze League.<br /><br />Erica:<br /><a href="http://www.necknosh.com" rel="noopener">www.necknosh.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.instagram.com/necknosh" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/necknosh</a><br /><br />Flex:<br /><a href="http://www.instagram.com/flex_me_a_beer" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/flex_me_a_beer</a><br /><br />Craft Beer Republic:<br /><a href="http://www.CraftBeerRepublic.com" rel="noopener">www.CraftBeerRepublic.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.instagram.com/CraftBeerRepublic" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/CraftBeerRepublic</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/CraftBeerRepublicPod" rel="noopener">www.facebook.com/CraftBeerRepublicPod</a><br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/CraftBeerRepub" rel="noopener">www.twitter.com/CraftBeerRepub</a><br />(805) 538-2337Batch262: 14 Cannons' Nic Bortolin & Lots of LagersBatch262: 14 Cannons' Nic Bortolin & Lots of Lagers
Nic and Greg sit down to talk about Brigantino, an Italian Pilsner that he brewed with fellow beer-nerd Chris Enegren of Enegren Brewing Co. What makes it Italian? A big part of it is the hops. Nic talks about how the collaboration started, who did what for the recipe, and the really fun way they decided which hops to use for the dry hop.

The beer focus for the day becomes very lager-centric, as Nic shares his multiple-award-winning Marzen, and his dark Czech lager, K-17. He also shares the fun story behind the name.

The guys catch up on what’s been happening at 14 Cannons for the last three and half years (Batch 85 if you want to go back to the beginning): changes to the taproom, how COVID has changed operations, and the silver lining of surviving a pandemic. Nic shares the fun, historical story behind Tyrannicide, his favorite style to brew right now, what hop he’s crushing on, and future plans for 14 Cannons (hint: there may be some spirits involved).

Coley and Greg kick off the hydration with a round of SCIENCE! We've got two Drekker CHONKs; Rainbow Sherbet and Tropical Berry Blast.

Greg starts things off with a huge announcement about the show's future. In short, this is the last episode of the Gentlemen, but there's much more. The NBA finals bet with the Booze League continues, but it's looking bad for the 'gents. Next, Coley shares her love for kombucha, and Greg sets the record straight on some brewery facts. If you've heard of Denver's Rare Beer Tasting, we've got great news for you.

Flex came in strong with another Drekker beer; Slang Du Jour - Raspberry Cheesecake. Further proving that we need to talk more before we crack open beers.

Constellation loses $12.5 million on expired hard seltzers; shucks. Molson Coors discontinues Coors Seltzer in the US. And some Drunk Buffaloes lead Indian cops to illegal liquor stashes.

Cheers to Los Angeles, CA, for being our top listening city for last week!

Greg is boarding a train for Colorado with his beer choice; he's reviewing 10:45 to Denver from Eppig Brewing. Flex is sipping on Simply Nelson, a single-hop IPA from Embolden Beer Co.

The Bucks and the Suns are in the NBA finals, which means our bet with the Booze League is on! So what should the loser have to do? We've received some interesting ideas from the listeners. And the guys get into it over hard kombucha; who actually drinks that stuff?!

A bartender saves a woman from getting creeped on by giving her a fake receipt; the world needs more of him. The Colorado Beer Guy is trying to hit 365 breweries in the same amount of days; we've got your back! And a woman leaves her baby at a bar with people she just met to, well, go to another bar.

Old-Timey Word of the Week is Bene Bowse. We'll take two.

Denver Beer Company is auctioning off a "Beer for Life" non-fungible token, whatever that is. Some Connecticut lawmakers are in trouble for boozing on the job.

Wylie kicks off the hydration with a review of Funk Yeah Boysenberry from Beachwood Blendery.

Greg has to apologize to Flex for some gram mishaps. The crew discusses their dislike for NBA coach Doc Rivers and places a bet for the finals. Flex lost the last bet he was a part of; it involves nudity.

Flex hops in the super-duper weenie wagon and heads on down to Flavor Town with a NEIPA from Eagle Park Brewing. Wylie comes in hot with Guy Fieri fun facts; it turns out Guy makes more money than Tom Brady.

Looks like Pepsi is entering the hard seltzer market. Denver is losing an icon near the stadium; Falling Rock Tap House.

Greg is drinking Mikey, another of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle-themed anniversary beers from Frothy Beard Brewing. Thanks to Wendy for the hookup.

Dust Bowl Brewing is opening up another taproom location. A study shows that most people didn't increase their pandemic alcohol intake; we're calling BS. Massachusetts will no longer be breathalyzing drunk drivers. A Florida woman named Booze was arrested for, well, boozing.

Old-Timey Word of the Week is Thingumbob. Don't be a Thingumbob.

This week, Greg and Flex are joined by Wylie Withers, the commissioner of the Booze League. We're sipping on some pricey, funky beers, placing a "friendly" wager on the NBA playoffs, finding out who drank more during the pandemic and going down to Florida for a person named Booze. <br /><br />Wylie kicks off the hydration with a review of Funk Yeah Boysenberry from Beachwood Blendery. <br /><br />Greg has to apologize to Flex for some gram mishaps. The crew discusses their dislike for NBA coach Doc Rivers and places a bet for the finals. Flex lost the last bet he was a part of; it involves nudity. <br /><br />Flex hops in the super-duper weenie wagon and heads on down to Flavor Town with a NEIPA from Eagle Park Brewing. Wylie comes in hot with Guy Fieri fun facts; it turns out Guy makes more money than Tom Brady. <br /><br />Looks like Pepsi is entering the hard seltzer market. Denver is losing an icon near the stadium; Falling Rock Tap House.<br /><br />Greg is drinking Mikey, another of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle-themed anniversary beers from Frothy Beard Brewing. Thanks to Wendy for the hookup.<br /><br />Dust Bowl Brewing is opening up another taproom location. A study shows that most people didn't increase their pandemic alcohol intake; we're calling BS. Massachusetts will no longer be breathalyzing drunk drivers. A Florida woman named Booze was arrested for, well, boozing. <br /><br />Old-Timey Word of the Week is Thingumbob. Don't be a Thingumbob.<br /><br />Cheers to Phoenix, AZ, for being our top listening city for last week!<br /><br />We want you to drunk dial us at (805) 538-BEER (2337); we'd love to hear from you!

Deb is in the studio with Greg. They kick off the hydration with Secondary Motion, a hazy pale ale from Radiant Beer Co.

BrewDog is being called out by a large group of their former employees for a "culture of fear." On a happy note, the Black is Beautiful collaboration beer has raised millions of dollars so far for different charities.

Flex is reviewing Nebulous Concepts, a big Double IPA from Phase Three Brewing.

Central Waters Brewing is moving into the old Pabst pilot house in Milwaukee; good news for Flex. Oregon legally makes hard seltzers beer. Yuengling announces their Texas launch date. A woman has a little too much to drink and scavenges around her neighbor's house to find more beer.

We need your input: is wine-drunk different than getting drunk on other alcohols?

Old-Timey Word of the Week is Gilly Gaupus.

Erica shares some massive news about Neck Nosh being invited to a huge beer festival. The crew shares stories of getting too hydrated at beer festivals, and we find out a dark secret from Flex's past. He also shares all the research he did before the show started.

Greg reviews Blueberry Muffin, a fruited sour from Great Notion Brewing.

Lynne Weaver, the founder of Three Weavers Brewing, is buying back her brewery from CANarchy. Which beer brand is the most valuable in the world? Alcohol delivery sales are slowing down; let's all do our part! And a bride cancels her wedding after her husband shows up hamskied.

We kick things off with a review of Mozee, an IPA from one of our favorites, Toppling Goliath.

We check in with Buff Bagwell, a wrestler from the 90s who's in a bit of trouble. Coley threw a BBQ that included real-life people, leading to a discussion on the good ol' days of partying until the sun comes up.

We make a call to the bullpen and try Sweets (Peach Cobbler) from Mountains Walking Brewery in Bozeman, MT. It is a dessert beer in its truest form.

Big "craft" beer is seeing a decline in sales during the pandemic, darn. Chicago is proposing a curfew on off-premise alcohol sales; aren't' we all adults? Free beer for vaccinated Minnesota residents; keep that vaccine card. Texans can now get some early morning booze on Sundays. And a man drunk texts the South Carolina Aquarium with some fascinating questions.

Old-Timey Word of the Week is Tony. Sorry to all the Tonys out there.

Cheers to Camarillo, CA, for being our top listening city for last week!

Modern Times founder Jacob McKean steps down as CEO after the fallout from all of the women coming forward with their stories of harassment and a toxic work environment.

We revisit the drunkest cities in the United States and the most bars per capita (Wisconsin is pretty popular). There is new legislation to allow the shipping of alcohol via USPS. Yuengling is now in Texas. And a married man wakes up to find a drunk woman performing a "sex act" on him.

We trap Erica into sharing her drunk story about trying to clean up a mess, and we check our voicemail to find a story about throwing up all over someone's clothes.

Things turn serious. There is a massive problem in the craft beer industry with sexism, racism, misogyny, and exclusion. It must be discussed, or nothing will ever change. Thank you to @ratmagnet on the gram for being a conduit for these brave people to come forward with their stories.

Erica is drinking Fresh Out the Oven (Version 9) from Burning Barrel Brewing. Who needs dessert?

Ninkasi Brewing is divorcing from Legacy Breweries to take over their own operations. And our crew is skeptical about some new Nitro Hard Teas that are hitting the market.

Flex is sipping on Locked Layers, a double IPA from Phase Three Brewing.

California is looking to make to-go alcohol a permanent fixture. A drunk driver got really annoyed at a parked car. And a designated driver has a few and causes some destruction.

After last week's round of drunk tales, Vanessa calls in to share a drunk story from college. Coley joins in with a tale of destroying a brewery bathroom.

Flex shares his review of Never Sleep, a double IPA from Monkish Brewing.

Stone is celebrating their 25th anniversary. Does that make anyone else feel old? In some somber news, the "I need more beer" woman passed away at the age of 94.

Coley gives her review of Neapolitan Slushy, a fruited sour from 903 Brewers.

Miller High Life is trying to hire some fool to come to Milwaukee and be their new ambassador. And some shy listeners write in with their favorite/embarrassing drunk stories. This leads to a whole new round of storytelling.

Old-Timey Word of the Week is Flying Pasty. Be on the lookout for those.

Cheers to The Bronx, NY, for being our top listening city for last week!

Greg kicks off the hidratación with a review of ¡Viva La Beaver! It's Mexican Chocolate and Peanut Butter Milk Stout from Belching Beaver.

Flex gives us some tips for sneaking beers past your spouse, Greg gets out for some Pink Boots research, and we find out the world-famous Dodger Dog is getting a makeover!

We call the bullpen as Flex reviews CHONK Rainbow Sherbert. A fruited sour from Drekker Brewing Company with actual scoops of Rainbow Sherbert.

New Jersey is giving out free beer in hopes of getting people to get the COVID vaccine. A man is arrested after driving into a house and acting like things are cool; this leads to a hilarious discussion of covering things up while drunk. Have you ever done that? And a drunk Tennessee man is accused of throwing poop at cops.

Old-Timey Word of the Week is Foxed. Nothing better than getting all foxed up!

Thanks to Erica, she and Greg are drinking Moksa Brewing's Berry Chaos, an Imperial Sour with strawberries, banana, pineapple, and vanilla.

We ask Erica and all of Instagram their thoughts on last week's spicy beer talk and find out what sort of trouble she got into when she was a teenager. Also, did you know police stations will provide you alcohol to test their equipment out?

Flex is drinking Yous Two, a Rye New England IPA from Vennture Brew Co in Milwaukee, WI.

American Craft Beer Week is May 10-16; are you ready to celebrate? Modern Times is launching smaller cans; do you prefer 12oz or 16oz? Natty Light is launching Naturday Frozen Icicles, just in case we haven't suffered enough! A drunk (not from Florida) man wrestles with a bouncer and shatters some windows.

Old-Timey Word of the Week is Capsize. Turns out Greg did some major capsizing; blood was involved.

Flex kicks off the hydration with a review of Ant Ray Cow Pants (that's not a typo). It's a red ale from Oliphant Brewing with ginger, curry, and lime. This leads to a whole discussion on spicy beers and drain-pours. Do you like spicy beer?

Greg heads over to Enegren Brewing for their CJD fundraiser. Deb reminisces about drinking Enegren at Greg's wedding and how hydrated everyone got. Flex, on the other hand, did too much dancing at his wedding.

Firestone Walker, in a shocking move, acquires Cali-Squeeze, SLO Brew's fruited beer brand.

The San Diego Padres' Joe Musgrove threw the team's first no-hitter, and in return, he gets a lifetime supply of beer from Ballast Point. Deb has a fantasy baseball problem, and people are getting mad, but Flex had to give it up cold turkey. This brings up stadium beer prices; California vs. Wisconsin.

Greg is reviewing In The Refrigerator, a hazy double IPA collab from Tarantula Hill and Topa Topa. This beer was made to honor legendary Lakers announcer Chick Hearn.

Do you have a lazy dog? Busch Beer is looking to pay one lucky pooch $20,000 to be their Chief Taste Officer.

Deb is drinking Clementine Gose from Two Roads Brewing Company. This kettle sour was brewed in a tanker truck.

An underaged, drunk, naked guy trashes a hotel room before getting arrested. The crew talks about getting in trouble for drinking underage. Have you ever gotten busted?

This week, Greg is at Poseidon Brewing Co. in Ventura, CA. Poseidon has been around since 2013 and is a staple in the Ventura County craft scene. Co-founder and head brewer Brian Oliver, aka Olly, and assistant brewer Anthony Stotts, aka Ant, sit down to talk brewing, surviving a pandemic, and their love for craft beer.

Olly talks about his previous life as an underwater construction diver with the Navy, how he transitioned to brewing, and how he discovered (and couldn't get rid of) assistant brewer Ant. The guys talk about their process for coming up with new beers, some of their more colorful beer names, and what separates them from other local spots. We also find out what beers got the two guys hooked on craft beer in the first place.


The dynamic duo also discusses persevering through a pandemic and multiple shut-downs, how they stay innovative, and how vital canning is. We wrap things up with a round of rapid-fire questions and find out everyone's favorite word for being drunk.


The beers we sampled and reviewed: Ironclad Irish Red, Grapefruit IPA, Rapture of the Deep Raspberry Blonde Ale, and Zambalicious, a west coast hazy IPA.


A huge thanks to Olly and Ant for their time, Vinita for organizing everything, and the entire staff for being so awesome! Find them online at www.poseidonbrewingco.com, @poseidonbrewingco, and visit them in Ventura, CA at 5777 Olivas Park Drive, Unit Q.

Coley kicks things off with a review of her very first sour IPA, What Even Is Black Cherry Anyway? from Evil Twin Brewing in New York.

We're celebrating National Beer Day (April 7) with, well, beer! We also talk about the bad news surrounding DMX, our trip to Tarantula Hill for a Laker-themed beer collab, and Wrestlemania (not too much, promise). We also find out that Coley wasn't supposed to watch wrestling but had a massive crush on Chris Jericho. Scott is drinking Stone Brewing's Chrononaut IPA.

Greg gets radical with Raph, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle-themed beer from Frothy Beard Brewing for the eighth anniversary. Thanks to @brewpugsc for the hookup!

In Booze News:
•The Great American Beer Festival will be virtual once again in 2021.
•Stone is making waves and releasing a line of hard seltzers.
•The Brewers Association releases their Top 50 Craft Breweries in the US; we have questions.
•Disneyland is adding a second spot in the park to get your booze.
•Scientists say whiskey is good for a cold (can it cure the rona?).
•Miller Lite is selling dive bar scented candles.

Our friend Coley is back, and we're getting totally tubular with some anniversary beer from Frothy Beard Brewing, turning IPAs upside down, celebrating national beer day, and buying some awful smelling beer candles.<br /><br />Coley kicks things off with a review of her very first sour IPA, What Even Is Black Cherry Anyway? from Evil Twin Brewing in New York.<br /><br />We're celebrating National Beer Day (April 7) with, well, beer! We also talk about the bad news surrounding DMX, our trip to Tarantula Hill for a Laker-themed beer collab, and Wrestlemania (not too much, promise). We also find out that Coley wasn't supposed to watch wrestling but had a massive crush on Chris Jericho.

Ally kicks off our hydration with a review of Evil Twin Brewing's It Was His Birthday and They Didn't Even Care. A blue, sour IPA with flavors of melted cotton candy, birthday cake sugar floss, candied raspberries, and ice cream-soaked waffle cones.

A Florida couple offers free beer as a way to meet their neighbors. This leads to a discussion on free beer at parties, wedding crashers (in real life, not the movie), and trying to hook Dan up at Greg's wedding.

Busch Beer is giving away a free wedding to three couples, but free beer isn't included. This brings up the idea of renewing wedding vows and the idea that marriages should be structured like sports contracts, a seven-year deal with player options.

The United States Department of Justice dismisses any concerns over CBA's sale of Kona Hawaii to PV Brewing.

Greg is conducting Beer Science with two single hop beers from Humble Sea Brewing: Boatloads of Nelson and Boatloads of Riwaka.

Lookout San Francisco, Ballast Point is closing up shop in Chicago and moving to the bay area. This brings up an important question: are they craft (again)?

St. Patrick's Day beer sales aren't as bad as they could have been.

Anheuser-Busch and Patagonia settle their trademark case over Patagonia Brewing.

Karl Strauss is shipping their hard seltzer outside of California.

Cheers to Moorpark, CA, for being our top listening city for last week!

Greg starts things off with a review of Agreeable Folk, an IPA from Societe Brewing.

The sports world lost a legend today; cheers to Elgin Baylor. Greg talks about his wife's Women's Day collaboration brew and getting to help with quality control (and waking up still hydrated the next day). Ally brew's up a Mexican lager for her women's day collab, and she runs into some ID issues with people visiting her brewery.

Ally talks with @beerbabejess about her Women's Day collaboration brew with Savagewood Brewing: Pouring It Forward Raspberry Ale. It's also the beer that Ally is reviewing.

In Booze News:

•Market Garden Brewery in Cleveland will give the $.10 beer to people with the COVID vaccine.
•Mike Trout rewards a hero who sacrificed his beer to save a woman.
•A drunk beautician was kicked off her flight for refusing to wear a mask.

It's Saint Patrick's Day, are you a fan of Guinness? We take a deep dive into why people love it so much. Greg and Ally talk about getting in trouble with the spouses for getting too much beer. Ally goes to a new beer release, and Greg samples the Firestone Walker Brewer's Reserve (and then needs some Pozole the next morning).

Scott shows up with Viking Space Probe, a double IPA from Stone Brewing.

Ally is making a mess with her beer review; she's drinking Little Sticky, a smoothie sour loaded with marshmallow, strawberry, and peach from Junkyard Brewing.

In Booze News:
•Beale's Brewery releases "Your Manager is Bitch” after an email from a customer.

Greg kicks off the hydration with a review of The Walrus is Paul, an IPA from HenHouse Brewing that is chock full of conspiracy.

It's been almost a year since everything shut down; we reflect on how that's changed our drinking habits (like not Ubering for a year). Flex talks about his short-lived arm wrestling career, and teaches us Californian's what a basement is. He also discusses working at a grocery store for St. Patrick's Day and tells us about a beer membership that every beer lover would want to join. Ally talks about her trip to Embolden Beer Co in San Diego and researches some new beer. The crew discusses their plans for the greenest day of the year.

Flex reviews Eagle Park Brewing's Bowie's Space Suite: Nelson edition. A very juicy IPA featuring Nelson hops as the main event.

We have a new segment: Beer Faults and Adjuncts. It's everyone's chance to let us know what we did wrong. Greg corrects our info about Pyramid Brewing, and Flex gives them a call with bad news.

Ally reviews a dessert beer from Hidden Springs Ale Works, The Upside Down. This sparks a massive debate on pineapple upside-down cake. Do you like it? And should it be single-serve or made for many people?

In Booze News:
•Deschutes Brewery Acquires Neighboring Boneyard Beer in Bend, OR, but doesn't want their side hustle.

We've got an old favorite returning from the grave, fans need more controversy from #BurritoGate, women are drinking a lot, and Florida wants to get drunk and host the Olympics.<br />Ally kicks off the show with a review of Key Lime Pie, a fruited sour from Prairie Artisan Ales. And Greg has a can in the fridge, so he joins along in the research. It's like old times, drinking the same beer together. <br />A listener slides into our DMs to re-hash the BurritoGate scandal of 2020. The question remains, beans or no beans?<br />Greg talks about hanging out with the Radiant Beer crew for a beer tasting, found his old Super Nintendo, kegged his latest homebrew, and is cursing the name of some utility companies. Scott is sipping on Stone's Scorpion Bowl IPA and is jumping the line for a COVID vaccine. <br />In Sports News:<br />•Brady vs. Mahomes in the Super Bowl, in Tampa. Las Vegas is already picking sides.<br />•The Bills' Cole Beasley played 3 playoff games with a broken leg.<br />•Sad news once again in baseball, Hank Aaron passed away.<br />•The Cactus League asks MLB to delay spring training because of the COVID outbreak in Maricopa County.<br />•And Florida offers to have the Olympics if Tokyo backs out.<br />Greg brings an old favorite back from the grave, Firestone Walker's Wookey Jack Rye IPA.

In addition to being a co-founder, Rob is also in charge of sales, marketing, and the overall bottom line. He also fancies himself quite the quality control officer!

Greg and Rob start out discussing his background in beer and falling in love with not only craft beer but his neighbor (and fellow co-founder) Chris's homebrew. These early, classic-style beers lead to East Brother Beer Co's heart and what their beer is all about. Paul talks about why they chose the name they did and gives a bit of a geography lesson along the way. We also find out how they found their head brewer, Paul Liszewski.

The discussion turns to the current time and trying to operate a brewery during a pandemic with ever-changing rules, regulations, and hardships. Rob talks about some of the programs they've implemented, from distribution to online beer tastings and everything in between. He also talks about distribution and being forced to ramp up canning and distributing out of state. And they wrap everything up with a round of rapid-fire questions and find out Rob's favorite word for being drunk.

The beers we taste are; Red Lager, Red IPA, and Oatmeal Stout.

A huge thank you to Rob Lightner, Jaime Dooley, and the entire East Brother crew for their time and great beer. If you're in the Bay Area, head over to 1001 Canal Blvd in Richmond, CA. You can visit them online at www.EastBrotherBeer.com and on the social outlets @EastBrotherBeer.

Jonas ran operations at The Bruery as well as Chapman Crafted. Cambria is the director of marketing and has worked with The Bruery, Offshoot, Golden Road, Figueroa Mountain, LA Beer Week, and more!
We talk about everything from opening a brewery (especially during a pandemic) to their favorite terms for being drunk.
Jonas talks about what it means to lead operations. In contrast, Andrew talks about the challenges of opening an already constructed brewery and the speed at which this project came together. We find out if they're crazy for opening during a pandemic. Cambria discusses the challenges of attracting people during difficult times. Andrew discloses (sort of) some of the collaborations he's working on, and they talk about how they'll stand out from other local breweries.
After some discussion, we find out that the last project that everyone worked on together was Offshoot Beer Co. It also gets revealed that Cambria is a level two certified cicerone.
We get down to the necessary details and find out what Andrew's focus will be when it comes to making beer.
Finally, we wrap things up with a round of Rapid Fire questions and find out that Cambria loves cheap beer and tacos but can't come up with a good word for being drunk, while both Jonas and Andrew are not a fan of macro lagers...to say the least.

A huge thank you to the whole Radiant Beer crew. We're so excited to try their beer in (hopefully) just a few weeks. Make sure you check them out at www.radiantbeer.com and @radiantbeer on the main socials. Find them at 1566 W. Lincoln Ave, Anaheim, CA.

No, it's not our anniversary; it's one of our favorite breweries, 14 Cannons!<br />Head brewer and all around beer genius Nic Bortolin stops in to talk about their third-anniversary beer collaboration with another local hot spot, Institution Ale Company. Keep the Coast Clear is a west coast IPA, with all Cryo-hops, and is almost a 50/50 mix of 14 Cannons Tyrannicide and Institution's White Walls. In addition to the beer's guided tasting, Nic talks about how this collaboration came about, working with another brewery during a pandemic, figuring out the final recipe, and showing off brewing equipment to other brewers. He also talks about some of the changes they've made due to COVID, canning more beer than ever, and getting people to come to a brewery. We also find out how they came up with the name, as well as most of the other beer names.<br />Greg talks about his trip to Institution Ales for Oktoberfest, a new schedule for the show, and all of the Australian fans that are listening. We also receive a very accurate show review from a listener. Nic talks about his field trip to Hermosa Brewing to check out their new spot and their incredible food. Dan finally gets himself a beer he's been looking for. And Ally avoids another awful trip to Yuma, AZ.<br />In the spirit of collaboration, our Bullpen Beer is Firestone Walker's Black is Beautiful Imperial Stout, a collaboration with Weathered Souls Brewing.<br />In Booze News:<br />•Ballast Point will close their Chicago Brewpub.<br />•Mikkeller NYC has closed its doors for the last time.<br />•AB InBev and Rio Tinto are working on more sustainable beer cans.<br />•Constellation signs a sponsorship deal with WWE.<br /><br />Make sure to check out 14 Cannons on social media @14Cannons and, of course, 14cannons.com. If you're in the Los Angeles area, head on over to the brewery; 31125 Via Colinas #907, Westlake Village, CA 91362.<br /><br />Our Beer Babe of the Week is Jalyn, make sure you follow her on Instagram @hoppyhollow!<br /><br />Cheers to Oak Park, CA, for being our top listening city for last week!<br /><br />Don't forget to check us out at <a href="http://www.theunfilteredgentlemen.com" rel="noopener">www.theunfilteredgentlemen.com</a> and follow us on our social medias for some great beer shots: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/theunfilteredgentlemen" rel="noopener">www.facebook.com/theunfilteredgentlemen</a>, @unfilteredgents on twitter, and TheUnfilteredGentlemen on Instagram!

We also find out about his nerdy day job before deciding to open up a brewery. We discuss brewing during COVID, the changes they've had to make, and what's in place to keep everyone safe.
We talk about what makes the Chicago area beer scene unique, the type of beers that Buffalo Creek specializes in, the new trend in craft beer, and brewery pet peeves.
The beers we sampled are Marrvelous, Red Headed Stepchild, and North Star. Marrvelous is a classic Kölsch that is a perfect beer all year round. Red Headed Stepchild is a traditional German blonde that has been infused with massive amounts of real strawberries. And North Star is a German-style Altbier that drinks like the combination of a Marzen and an ESB. They're also donating $1 of every pint to YouthBuild Lake County, a local non-profit organization.

A huge thank you to Mike Marr for spending time with us during a busy week of brewing. You can follow Buffalo Creek Brewing on Instagram and Facebook @buffalocreekbrewing and @buffalocrkbrew on Twitter. If you're in Long Grove, IL, head over to the brewery at 360 Historical Ln.

We also find out how being super competitive led him to start brewing his own beer. After winning some awards for his home-brew and selling out local festivals, he left his bank job and signed on as an assistant brewer and learned what-not-to-do.
Turning to the Black is Beautiful beer collaboration, we talk about the inspiration behind the project: (as of June 23, 2020), over 800 breweries are signed on from all 50 US states and 14 countries. Marcus explains the importance of the message behind the beer and why the message needs to continue beyond a collaboration. He talks about his inspiration behind the project, and how he was able to get it up and public in so little time. And there's even a home-brew version that people can brew at home that was developed by champion home brewer Annie Johnson.
Turning to the craft beer community, we talk about how the San Antonio and Texas beer community has embraced Black is Beautiful. We also discuss how supportive the community has been throughout the pandemic, and how the brewery has had to pivot to keep up with the challenges from COVID-19.
We wrap up our conversation with a round of rapid-fire questions: brewer edition.

A huge thank you to Marcus Basketville for spending time with us during a busy week of promoting and brewing. You can follow Weathered Souls Brewing on Instagram and Facebook @WeatheredSoulsBrewing and @weatheredsouls_ on Twitter. If you're in San Antonio, head over to the brewery at 606 Embassy Oaks #500 and have a pint!

We find out the history of UpCountry, what sets them apart, and why he wanted to start all over with a new brewery. We get a guided tasting of some of their great beers: UpCo Lager, Black Currant Gose, Oat Pale Ale, Scamper IPA, and Isoprene IPA.
John talks about his early days of coming up in the Atlanta beer scene, getting deep into craft beer while living in Seattle, drinking every beer he saw in college, making awful home-brew, and how that all translated into a job as a brewer.
We dive into his time as co-founder of Terrapin Beer Company; meeting his partner Spike Buckowski on the job, running a successful brewery, and what led to selling to Miller Coors. He talks about his side of the transaction, what it meant to sell, and why he ultimately sold. John shares some of the behind-the-scenes fun and secret projects that were going on at Miller around that time.
John turns the tables and starts interviewing Greg; they discuss the state of the craft beer industry, the difficulty of distribution and packaging, why he changed the name of the brewery to UpCountry, and much more.
The episode gets wrapped up with a round of rapid-fire questions.

A huge thank you to John Cochran for sharing his time and some of his great beer, and thanks to his staff for helping us to get set up and settled.

Cameron Ball, head brewer and owner of Helix Brewing in La Mesa, CA is back on the show, this time to tell us about his new sour project; Sourworx.

We get very nerdy with Cameron, digging deep into sour beers, the process, the hard work, and the time it takes to start a sour program. Cameron began his barreling program just after opening Helix in 2015 and sat on some the beers for three years before even sampling them. Nothing here is kettle soured; it's all wild fermented in barrels.

Cameron also talks about the difference in beer styles, avoiding cross-contamination with the clean beer, kettle sour vs. wild fermented, prepping old barrels for beer, what different strains of yeast can do to the same beer, trying to reproduce a wild fermented beer, how to serve a sour, and more. It's a deep dive into the whole sour process.

He also led us on a guided tasting of some of his sours: Big Dreams, Leslie, Future Futures, Two Emotions, Walking Through Windows, Delayed Promises, Scream with Me, and Betting on Stars.

We end the interview with a round of rapid-fire questions.

A huge thank you to Cameron Ball and Helix Brewing for having us and sharing their delicious beer. If you'd like to find out more about Helix and Sourworx, go to www.drinkhelix.com, www.facebook.com/helixbrewingco, or www.instagram.com/helixbrewingco. And if you're in San Diego, head on over to 8101 Commercial St in La Mesa, CA.
