Beers We're Drinking:


Greg recounts his adventurous weekend attempting to wakeboard while drinking a dinosaur beer from the back of the fridge. It was quite the challenge to chug this bitter AF fridge fossil. The guys discuss visiting various breweries, including There Does Not Exist in San Luis Obispo and Four Hands Brewing in St. Louis. Flex shares his observations on beer pricing in St. Louis compared to Wisconsin, leading to a discussion on distribution challenges and the economics of craft brewing.

Fontana Jim passionately calls in to critique Greg's hesitation about brewing seltzers and provides colorful advice on potential flavors.
