8 Beers Deep By Halftime

8 Beers Deep By Halftime

Author: Craft Beer Republic February 21, 2024 Duration: 41:52

Get ready for some beer education! Monica, the head brewer at Pedals and Pints, joins the Republic as we talk about tasty sour beers, the price of beer and snacks at the Super Bowl, new leadership at Sierra Nevada, the craft beer selection at stadiums, and getting drunk at a chocolate shop.

We find out the price of beer and snacks at the Super Bowl, and the most popular beers poured during the big game. Flex talks about nervous drinking during the Packers' win and how many he went through that game. Monica talks about how good sours are and what makes them unique. The talk turned to various stadiums and which had the best beer selection. 

-

Flex is drinking Particles, an IPA from Definitive Brewing Company in Portland, ME. Monica and Greg and drinking Sun Trap, a sessionable sour from Three Weavers Brewing.

-

We get a voicemail from the homie from down under, Chew's cousin. 

-

In Booze News: Sierra Nevada names a new CEO to take over the reins. The Brewer's Association is short on funds and cancels Homebrew Con. The workers at Molson Coors in Fort Worth go on strike. A drunk driver is arrested at a chocolate shop. And the drunkest NFL fans this season.
