7 Beers for No Reason

7 Beers for No Reason

Author: Craft Beer Republic April 3, 2024 Duration: 42:27

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. We’re 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 “looking forward” to WrestleMania 40 this weekend!

Greg is drinking Thrash Punk Coffee Kolsch from Witch’s 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 Park’s 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 “Eclipse Sips.” A drunk driver confuses a boardwalk for a road and ends up in the drink.
