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.

Batch263: A Party At Jury Duty

Cheers, citizens of the republic! We’re back in the studio with Greg, Flex, and Erica from Neck Nosh. Ready for some fun new segments and beer reviews? Perfect! With some pending new laws, we may see THC beers, jury duty just became a party, and we just won a bet!
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.

Batch265: One Drink & One Drink Only

Get your cold ones colder; we’ve got a fresh batch! Deb, Flex, and Greg are back to sip on some delicious beers, talk about lake trips, find out which state is limiting your alcohol intake, and figure out what everyone’s entrance music is! We also have a big controversy after a voicemail.
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.
