Batch264: The Wisco Kid Walks Into an Alaskan Bar

Craft Beer Republic

08/11/21 • 41 min

Ready to grab some cold beers and do some research? The Dream Team, Flex, Greg, and Deb, are reviewing some beers from across the country, talking about big birthday plans, getting expensive airport beer, and checking in on listener voicemails!
Flex starts off the hydration and research with Lost in the Sauce, a hazy IPA from Explorium Brewpub. His favorite mall brewery. Greg and Deb are reviewing Flat Earth, a Double IPA from Masthead Brewing Company.
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.

The Rise of Beerflation

Craft Beer Republic

08/31/22 • 45 min

We’re penny-pinching our way to a couple of great beers this week! 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.

Drinking Around The World

Craft Beer Republic

08/24/22 • 45 min

Pack your bags; we’re drinking around the world! 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.

Batch316: Oh Hell Yeah!

Craft Beer Republic

08/10/22 • 38 min

Batch 316 says I just whipped your @$$! Scott makes his big return to podcasting! Flex gets punched in the face, it's a sad day in sports, Greg's birthday brewery crawl, Goose Island is dropping more barrel-aged garbage, and Florida Man has been drinking again.

In honor of Batch 316, Scott and Greg are drinking El Segundo Brewing's Broken Skull IPA. Flex is getting hazy with Drekker Brewing's Goon Platoon. This leads to a critical Flex Algorithm conversation.

Greg talks about his birthday weekend full of brewery crawls, fancy dinners, and even some bad beer (that no one finished). The guys talk about the enormous loss of Vin Scully. Flex goes to a concert, gets real emo, and then gets punched in the face (and his wife has words).

Maui Brewing is officially taking the keys to Modern Times...eventually. A judge affirms Stone's ruling against MolsonCoors. But Stone gets smacked on the hand for trying to milk Molson for even more money. Firestone Walker's Matt Brynildson receives what might be the most prestigious honor in all of beer. And Florida Man has been drinking at Walmart again!

Batch298: Coley 3:16 Says I Just Drank Your Beer

Craft Beer Republic

04/06/22 • 33 min

If you’re ready to drink a beer, give me a HELL YEAH! Coley 3:16 drops by to share a new beer with Flex and Greg and talk about how much fun she had watching Stone Cold Steve Austin. They also talk about new hops, Stone’s lawsuit with MolsonCoors, Texas’ weird drinking laws, and Flex’s attempt a buying a brewery.
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!

Lunch Beers & Sticky Hops

Craft Beer Republic

05/31/23 • 49 min

The Dream Team is back, and there’s a whole lot of mediocre beer coming our way! 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.

San Diego Beer News' Brandon Hernández, Pink Boots Collabs, and the Drunk Guy on the Plane

Craft Beer Republic

03/08/23 • 55 min

We’re so excited to be joined by Brandon Hernández, Founder and Executive Editor of San Diego Beer News. We’re talking about up-and-coming San Diego breweries, new trends in craft beer, Pink Boots collabs, the big shakeup at Los Abbey brewing, and the drunk guy on a plane who took it too far.

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. The crew discusses Seek Beer Co, Helix Brewing, and New English Brewing as must-visit spots. Greg recaps his weekend of brewing with Pedals and Pints for the Pink Boots collaboration and talks about all the insanely big and delicious beer he drank over the weekend.

Chew You Beer calls in from the line to get Pliny the Younger.

The Lost Abbey is downscaling even more than initially expected, and Brandon talked to founder Tomme Arthur about the new plan. We also talk about the advantage of contract brewing and not paying rent. BrewDog doesn’t look so punk after becoming friends with Budweiser. Bill Gates buys a stake in Heineken. And a drunk student urinates on a business class passenger on an overseas trip.
