Episode Description
You love craft beer? Welcome. This week, Greg gets blacklisted for not liking fruited IPAs, listener Dan has a skunky beer story that ends hot, and Flex reminisces about the days of Beechwood aging. Greg talks about his upcoming tattoo appointment, and Flex gives him an assignment and beer hunt. A guy has a mid-life crisis and fights with a bouncer at a strip club, his buddy steals his wallet, and Boston Beer is looking to saturate the market with apple spice.
Beers We’re Drinking:
- Greg is drinking Cosmic Little Thing IPA from Sierra Nevada, an 8% hazy double IPA with citrus, cotton candy vibes, and suspiciously easy drinkability.
- Flex is drinking Orange Cream Double Marbles from More Brewing Company, an orange-and-vanilla milkshake double IPA that lands squarely in dessert-beer territory.
Greg is living the worst camping trip of his life in a hotel, while Portland comes in hot with the download numbers. They also have quite the food scene. We see you, Portland! Greg talks about his trip to a brewery where he made the beertender mad by passing on the fruity IPA. Listener Dan writes in to tell us about his #poopbeer, a skunky, warm beer that was being stored outdoors in 95-degree heat. Flex confesses his love for Beechwood aging and wants a romantic trip with Greg to the land of Clydesdales. Greg talks about his upcoming tattoo appointment, and Flex gives him some homework he probably won’t complete.
