Welcome back to another tasty beer podcast! Greg rediscovers an old beer flame while Flex gets extra creepy with his new mustache. Flex educates us with some beer history, while Greg works through the science of staying buzzed but functional at a concert. Moshing ain’t easy. We’ve also got a new list, the fall of fun, and a huge craft brewery suddenly closes its doors while another one might rise from the dead.

Beers We’re Drinking

• Greg is drinking Black Butte Porter from Deschutes Brewing — rich chocolate, coffee, and smooth roasted notes.
• Flex is drinking Evil Ways from Eagle Park Brewing — hazy, juicy, and packed with Sultana and Citra hops.

Flex’s mustache era is officially here, and it’s making everyone. Greg admits beer is emotional support at concerts, and the guys figure out just how much liquid courage belongs in the pit. And beer vs liquor, what are you drinking at a concert? We’ve also got a list of the nation’s best IPAs (so they say), and some nerdy podcast news.
