Welcome to Craft Beer Republic, where the beers are flowing and the stories are questionable! Greg’s kicking off the show from a two-week road trip with his priorities firmly set on beer and podcast gear (who needs clean clothes anyway?), while Flex brings the Thanksgiving drama, complete with late-start drinking and smoked turkey revelations. Meanwhile, Psycho Bear calls in with beer tips and maybe a murder plot, and Kentucky proves mules aren’t meant for high-speed getaways. Grab a beer and buckle up—it’s chaos in a can!

Beers We’re Drinking


Greg kicks things off by proving his priorities are in order: podcast gear over clean clothes for his road trip. Flex dives into Thanksgiving tales of smoked turkey and late-drinking drama, while Greg shares the tragic saga of a $400 ham disaster and how a family pregnancy almost derailed the mimosa tradition—until a heroic champagne run saved the day. Psycho Bear calls in with beer wisdom, sass, and a potential murder plot, and the guys debate whether marriage is really just a lifelong effort to stop men from doing dumb things.
