The World Famous Craft Beer Republic!

Craft Beer Republic

Greg and Flex are back, and this time they’ve got a lot to get off their beer-filled chests. Greg’s fresh off a "relaxing" vacation that somehow left him more exhausted than when he left, while Flex can’t get over how some breweries think slapping “world-famous” on their labels makes it true. The guys also dive into some serious topics, like why lazy grammar makes their eye twitch, and how Greg accidentally ordered an IPA that tasted like a Flintstone vitamin—because apparently, nostalgia is now on tap. Plus, the guys take a detour into a ridiculous conversation about Dildo Brewing in Canada, because of course they did. Crack open a cold one and join the fun—you won’t want to miss this!

Beers We're Drinking:

• Flex is drinking Juice Shark from Lion’s Tail Brewing Company, a New England IPA with hints of watermelon, berry, and citrus.
• Greg is sipping on Wowee from Highland Park Brewery, a hazy IPA loaded with Nelson Sauvin hops and gooseberry vibes.

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.

Booze News:

• Molson Coors is launching a new line of 8% ABV singles for convenience stores, featuring Topo Chico Max and Simply Spiked Bold.
• The Brewers Association reports that the Midwest saw a 1% decline in craft beer production in 2023, the first dip since 2020.
• Hard kombucha brand JuneShine is introducing a non-alcoholic kombucha line... which pretty much just makes it kombucha, right?
• A Long Island man, arrested for drunk driving, managed to steal a police car while handcuffed and drove it to a nearby cemetery—because why not?
