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.

Lunch Beers, The Downfall of Seltzers and Drunkest States in America
On Batch 345, MadeWest brewer Spencer is back to hang out with Flex and Greg. 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.

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. We talk about our favorite fancy cocktails and how great booze-to-go is. And why is it such a pain to get alcohol at a baseball game? And if you need some Vegas tips, we've got the best-kept secret in sin city!

Our listener submitted Ludicrous Libation Law takes us to Michigan.

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.
