Welcome in, you beautiful beer nerds! This week, Flex brings the beer snobbery, Greg’s hotter than a sun-soaked stout, and Erica’s fresh off the salty seas with snacks and hazies. We’re talking beer mix-ups, birthday voicemails, blackout rage gallons, and how Flex is emotionally scarred by a mislabeled IPA. There’s also news on MobCraft’s comeback, Delirium’s shipping spree, and a Florida man story that’s peak Florida. Grab your pretzel necklace and let’s party like it’s the Pink Pony—just, y’know, with less fire.
Beers We’re Drinking:
Flex’s beer snob moment at dinner ends with a bruised ego and a canceled pint, while Erica’s kids are out here calling anything in a can “beer” like it’s totally normal. Greg relives a suspiciously clear “hazy” that sent him down a spiral, and somehow everyone ends up bonding over beer trauma. The crew discovers the chaotic world of BORGs—blackout rage gallons are officially a thing—and Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day scene might be even wilder than expected. Chew Your Beer checks in with birthday vibes and beer fest plans, and Greg casually drops that his nephew was born on 3:16 and is now destined to live in jorts and wrestling tees. And Flex might’ve found his dream life in Chicago’s unlimited ice cream museum.

Welcome in, thirsty people! Greg and Flex are back to quench your thirst for craft beer and questionable decision-making. This week, Greg takes a “totally unplanned” trip to San Francisco Beer Week (sure, buddy) and manages to turn a simple bay cruise into an elite-level beer smuggling operation. Flex holds down the fort with some delicious Wisconsin brews and a deep dive into why Sheboygan has an odd sheep obsession. Plus, we’ve got booze news, terrible funeral director choices, and a heated (but not a baseball show) debate over the Dodgers.

Greg’s “totally not a beer trip” to San Francisco somehow included Beer Week, a booze-filled bay cruise, and a questionable amount of beer smuggling. Flex, on the other hand, takes a deep dive into Sheboygan’s unexpected sheep obsession—because, of course, Wisconsin.
Also, Greg stumbles upon an airport beer win, Flex crushes another stellar Wisconsin brew, and an old man with a PBR and a breakfast burrito might have life figured out better than all of us. Plus, there’s a heated (but not a baseball show) debate over the Dodgers, and Greg nearly breaks his own brain trying to recall obscure ’90s wrestling trivia.

Welcome in, you glorious beer guzzlers! Greg and Flex are back just in time for Saint Patrick’s Day with a fresh batch of beer-fueled nonsense. Greg drops a HUGE piece of industry news that he's been sitting on for weeks (seriously, the suspense was killing him). Flex reviews a hazy IPA so thick it should come with a spoon, and the guys dive into some questionable history facts (spoiler: Flex is just making things up at this point). Plus, we’ve got craft beer hot takes, trivia victories, and a deep discussion on why Rolling Rock is… well, Rolling Rock.

Greg and his trivia crew, Prestige Worldwide (featuring the Silly Billies), won the Best of the Best trivia night, and he’s letting everyone know about it. Flex is developing his own Tongue Jobber comic strip. The guys make fun of breweries that insist on making their own Guinness alternatives, and Greg has some very strong opinions about it. We also learn about Greg’s recent trip to Malibu Brewing, where he enjoyed some new beers, fantastic weather, and apparently burnt end turkey. And we’ve got St. Patricks’ Day Fun Facts!
And the biggest news of all—Monica and James have moved to Austin! Our favorite brewer duo has taken on new roles at Fast Friends Beer Co., and Greg finally gets to spill the details on what that means for the Austin beer scene. Spoiler: It’s about to get real damn good.

Welcome to Craft Beer Republic! Greg is still recovering from a champagne-fueled blackout, Flex forgot he even had a podcast to record, and somehow, there’s a hidden Smirnoff Ice lurking in Greg’s house, just waiting to ruin someone’s day. The guys break down the math behind those too-good-to-be-true dollar pints, brainstorm ways to keep breweries alive (spoiler: trivia night is fine, but bingo might mean you’re doomed), and discuss why non-alcoholic beer had its best Dry January ever—much to their disappointment.

Episode Highlights
Greg survived (barely) a Champagne Around the World birthday party for Deb, and let’s just say champagne drunk is a special kind of drunk. There were spreadsheets involved (Flex was impressed), sideline bottles, surprise DoorDash deliveries, and an ungodly amount of bubbly consumed. The aftermath? A raging champagne headache and a desperate need for sweet potato fries. Meanwhile, Greg also made a highlystrategic Smirnoff Ice purchase, setting up a hidden ice attack on unsuspecting guests. The boys also dive into the fine art of brewery marketing—why collabs are the key, trivia is timeless, and why breweries throwing comedy nights might need to re-evaluate their business plan. Oh, and Flex flexes his ability to recite the alphabet backwards, just in case the need ever arises (Greg, on the other hand, does not have this talent).

Welcome in, thirsty friends! Greg went full beer tourist and drank his way through Austin, and he’s here to spill all the boozy details. Meanwhile Brewing served up his favorite beer of the trip—so good it forced him to break a years-long Untappd dry spell! Flex, on the other hand, is freezing his mustache off in the Midwest, sipping on a Toppling Goliath variety pack and confirming what we already knew: people on Untappd have no taste. The guys also dig into the absurdity of TSA screenings, the power of food truck barbecue, and the ongoing battle against Big Beer’s nonsense. Plus, why is Michelob Ultra so damn popular?
Beers We’re Drinking
Greg went on a Valentine's weekend trip to Austin, which quickly turned into a full-blown beer pilgrimage. From Meanwhile Brewing’s award-winning haze to Zilker and Lazarus Brewing, it was one tasty stop after another. Flex, meanwhile, has been battling negative temperatures and living in a hoodie. The guys discuss TSA’s fascination with Greg’s “oversized package” and reminisce about the best airport snacks (Southwest’s Maui onion pretzels for the win). Greg also recounts a wedding night in Asheville that ended with gin-fueled regrets and a long nap on the cold bathroom floor. Meanwhile, Flex reveals his grandma’s secret to beer drinking (spoiler: salt) and the guys dunk on Michelob Ultra drinkers.
