This week on Craft Beer Republic, Greg and Flex are conducting some beer science, learning about getting pants drunk, drinking REALLY old beer, discussing the proper taco, and taking a trip down south to hang out with Floridaman.
Greg is drinking Juce = Juce, a collaboration Hazy IPA from Great Notion and Equilibrium Brewing. Flex is sipping on an old Berliner from Eagle Park Brewing (no surprise).
Thanks to our biggest fans in Finland, weâre getting Pants Drunk! Greg conducts algorithm-approved budget beer research. Flex is teaching us that beer never dies, no matter how old it is.
The former Dark Horse owner is facing jail time if he doesnât pay back his staff. Sazerac is buying BuzzBalls, the really weirdly shaped RTD drinks. A judge sides with Constellation in the battle of the seltzers with AB InBev. An airline pilot receives jail time for showing up to work drunk. And Floridaman is at it again, molesting a manatee statue and throwing gator nugs at innocent bystanders.
Thanks to North Carolina and their hatred of fun for our Ludicrous Libation Law.

Who needs a beer to themselves? How about 7? This week on Craft Beer Republic, Flex and Greg are talking about their Easter drinking situations, when to teach your kids about beer flights, participating in Pink Boots collab days, the upcoming WrestleMania weekend, drinks to-go, Blue Moon ruining the eclipse, and taking a drunk swim with your car.
Greg and his wife, with a bunch of other beer friends, were invited to Pedals & Pints Brewing (thanks, Monica!) to participate in their Pink Boots Collaboration Brew Day. Weâre both talking about our Easter adventures. Flex pre-gamed his Easter a couple days early and is a better man for it. Greg started the day with some edibles and quickly classed things up from there. And, of course, a quick âlooking forwardâ to WrestleMania 40 this weekend!
Greg is drinking Thrash Punk Coffee Kolsch from Witchâs Hat Brewing Company; thanks to Andrew for sliding that one over. Flex is sipping on The Raspberry Vanilla Cheesecake Incident, a Berliner Weise from Eagle Park & Mikerphone Brewing. This also gets Flex talking about taking his kids to Eagle Parkâs brewery and when the right time is to get them educated on flights.
In the News Flight: Mad River Brewing was acquired by the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians, the Cicerone program has been sold, and Indiana makes cocktails to-go permanent!
In Booze News: California breweries have some new legislation to look forward to when it comes to selling beer. It turns out that basketball fans prefer beer over other alcoholic beverages. Blue Moon is doing their best to ruin the solar eclipse with âEclipse Sips.â A drunk driver confuses a boardwalk for a road and ends up in the drink.

Letâs keep the party going for Batch 401; Scott and Dan are back with Flex and Greg! Weâre talking about traveling and drinking, upgrading your booze selections, keeping it saucy on the golf course, politicians getting involved in beer, and drunk platinum-status travelers.
Flex is sipping on Samsara IPA from Evergrain Brewing in Pennsylvania. The other gents are drinking MC^Ghost from Parish Brewing and Equilibrium Brewing.
Did you know a new Ghostbusters movie is coming out? Dan and Flex are very excited. Greg went on a work trip and managed to get some research done. He has a PSA about spirits selections when youâre getting fancy cocktails. Flex is getting sporty and drunk on the golf course with his new-found love for golfing. Dan reveals his love for minor league hockey and the Milwaukee Admirals. It turns out he often goes to watch games and gets drunk on the cheap.
New Jersey is back at it with this weekâs Ludicrous Libation Law.
In Booze News: Congress is looking to give tax breaks to bars with new draft beer systems. Politicians are sticking their noses where they shouldnât with THC beers. Wyoming adopted new franchise reform laws. Stone promises to get back to making beerâŠmostly. And a drunk platinum flyer really needs to drink a little water and stop asking people their size.

We made it to 400! For the big 4-0-0, we are having a party! Greg and Flex are hanging with the OGs, Scott and Dan. Weâre talking about our 3:16 Day and St. Paddyâs Day celebrations, day drinking like a champ, pizza-flavored beer, and getting in a drunken wrestling match in the drive-thru.
Flex is sipping on This Is My Serious Face, a hazy from Amorphic Beer. The other gents are drinking the most popular craft beer from 2016, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Can you believe weâve been around since 2016?!
In honor of Stone Cold Day and St. Patrickâs Day, we did some celebrating. Flex hung out with the family and had his annual whiskey shots. Dan did his celebrating on 3:16. Scott celebrated from the couch. Greg pre-gamed too hard and doesnât remember the end of Saint Patrickâs Day 2024. Flex is a massive champion of day drinking, and who isnât?
In Booze News: Alaska Airlines and Fremont Brewing team up for a flight-inspired beer. Voodoo Ranger is dropping a pizza-flavored beer that no one can afford. Cigar City Brewing (thanks to Monster) is laying off a chunk of its workforce. And a Florida Man starts ramming cars and brawling in the drive-thru (and inspires a song).

SlĂĄinte, beer lovers! This week, Flex and Greg are back with tales of alcohol hidden in the walls, throwing sharp objects while drinking, drinking too much with professional wrestlers, the Florida Man Games, Tennesseeâs cold beer saga, and getting arrested for flirting with cops.
Flex is sipping All Beef Frank, an IPA from Hop Butcher for the World. Greg is drinking Extra Sunshine, a hazy IPA from Shred Beer Company. Thanks to Erica for sending that down.
Greg apologizes to some forgotten beers and talks about the joys of drinking beer while throwing axes (and other sharp objects). He also went to Palefest, started drinking with a professional wrestler, and ended up way too hydrated. We talk about what a coffee nerdâs actual name is. Flex has kept Greg in suspense all week as he tells his tale of hidden alcohol bottles and getting in trouble for their sudden appearance.
Chew Your Beer left a voicemail: Happy birthday, Chew! You can leave one, too: (805) 538-BEER.
In Booze News: the Florida Man Games have come and gone, and the real winners are the spectators. JuneShine acquires Flying Embers if anyone cares. Tennessee has an about-face on its cold beer stance. Georgia is doing their best to keep small brewers down and help out the big distribution companies. And a drunk man is arrested for slapping his real and flipping off the copsâŠnot in Florida!

Someone call 9-1-1! We're excited to be at Red Engine Brewing Company to talk to Preston Andreini, the founder, brewmaster, and the man behind the vision of this new brewery. He speaks about his history with craft beer, being the first brewery in town, designing recipes, making important mistakes, and making beer people want to drink.
Preston shares Java Bump, a coffee blond ale, and the perfect breakfast beer. We discuss his "other" job as a firefighter and his connection with the brewery's name. We get into the planning stages, starting a podcast about building a brewery, getting friends to help build, and the acceptance from the local community.
Next, we share First In, an American light lager. We get nerdy with the brewing process and beer enzymes and turn the conversation to picking the correct location. He shares who helped him during the planning, the most significant lessons he learned throughout the process, and what he would have done differently.
Then we sample Smoke Show, a not-too-smokey dry Irish stout. Preston talks about his focus on beer making and the importance of having more than just beer in the brewery. He speaks about his first beers in life and brings that full circle to his brewing education. We drill down on process and discuss what hops he's crushing on and who he's excited to collaborate with.
Finally, we finish with Probie, their blonde ale. While we sip on that, we run through a round of rapid-fire questions. It would be a crime not to mention the pizza they're slinging at the brewery. We shared one before the interview started, and it was delicious!
Check out Red Engine Brewing in Filmore, CA, at 803 Ventura St. Find them online at RedEngineBrewing.com. And on the socials. Thanks to Preston for sharing his beer, pizza, and time with us! If you check out the brewery, let us know what you think!

Weâre excited to have Monica Potter, head brewer at Pedals and Pints Brewing, back on the show! Weâre talking about what makes a hazy good, using coffee in beer, hitting the links for some cheap beers, getting so drunk you call the cops on yourself, and whatever the heck Buffalo is.
-
Monica tells us about her two new beer releases, Black & Blue session Sour and Up Tempo, her coffee collaboration with California Coffee Republic. Greg talks about his bachelor party trip to Tahoe, how freakinâ cold it was, and scoring some sweet beers at a 7-11. Flex returns to the knockoff Topgolf to work on his swing and half-off pitchers. And Monica introduces Buffalo, a drinking game with dire consequences. Also, tequila: why do you treat us so dirty?

Who's ready to get thiolized for Valentine's Day? The Super Bowl happened; that's all we need to say. We're talking about pizza and beer combos, romantic Valentine's drinking, getting super nerdy at a brewery, vacation drinks, and the best-selling "craft" beer of 2023.
-
Flex went to Eagle Park to do some beer research and ended up impressing people (and embarrassing himself) with his knowledge of thiolized yeast. Also, the IPL vs. Cold IPA debate continues! Greg was back at Red Engine Brewing for pizza, beer, and a fun interview with Preston, the owner and head brewer.

Weâre also talking about brewery anniversary parties, Coleyâs birthday shot parade, day drinking at the driving range, some unexpected brewery closures, and a big brewery sale.
-
Casa Agria in Oxnard had their big 8th-anniversary party last weekend, and Greg grabbed the crew to investigate. Coley celebrated her birthday with brunch and a big shot parade (donât worry, we explain it) and the downfall of cheap champagne. Flex did some day drinking at Luxe Golf, where everything is half off for Mulligan MondaysâŠEVERYTHING! Greg got an embarrassing thrill of a lifetime after getting re-grammed by one of his favorite artists.
-
We all know this isnât a sports show, but we must mention the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs. Who do you have winning the Super Bowl?

Welcome to Craft Beer Republic Batch 388, the ultimate podcast for craft beer enthusiasts! In this episode, host Greg and his incredible co-hosts Flex and Mel take you on a wild ride through the world of craft beer, sharing their thoughts, opinions, and reviews on the latest brews.
Greg and Flex venture into a spirited discussion about sports (yes, it's not a sports show, but they can't help it!), expressing their opinions on baseball player Shohei Otani and deferred payments in the world of sports. They may not be sports experts, but they undoubtedly bring a unique and entertaining perspective to the table.
Meanwhile, Mel joins from the East Coast, sharing her experiences during the holidays and introducing a local favorite: Newburgh Brewing Company's Angry Eggbert. This New England IPA captures the essence of the holidays with its comforting flavors and story. Listen as Mel describes this brew and its ties to a beloved Christmas egg, Egbert, creeping everyone out thoroughly.
As the conversation continues, Flex recalls a long-lost beer establishment, and the trio digs into a festive holiday voicemail from their homie, Chew. Bursting with holiday cheer and mischief, Chew encourages us to make resolutions we can all keep and definitely piques our curiosity about the much-anticipated "2024 resolution."
Of course, this show wouldn't be complete without in-depth beer reviews. Flex indulges us with his experience savoring Hoppery Hazy IPA from Yazoo Brewing, sharing its unique characteristics and lamenting the discrepancy between the can's appearance and the actual pour. The conversation evolves into a discussion about labeling accuracy, with a sly suggestion to call all juicy beers "juicy" or "unfiltered" to avoid confusion.
Greg then gives us his review of Propitiation, a sour barrel-aged porter from Russian River Brewing Company. With tons of "sour" smell on the nose and hints of toastiness, the flavor is highly unique, with subtle fruit and chocolate flavors and a tart finish.
In the news, we talk about the world's strongest can of beer. More non-alcoholic beers are being added to flights. Dorchester Brewing and Aeronaut Brewing are getting together for a merger. Tilray is receiving multiple calls a day to buy small breweries. Diageo is looking to offload almost all of its beer brands. Kid Rock says he's ready to drink some Bud Light again. And we've got the drunkest cities in America for 2023.
