Greg recounts an opera night turned brewery visit, and they explore the curious case of Beer Can Island in Florida. With plenty of laughs and beer-related news, this episode is a must-listen for craft beer enthusiasts.

Beers We're Drinking:


Greg and Flex kick things off discussing Flex's beer sabbatical and how it has surprisingly benefited his health. Greg shares his unique experience attending his wife's opera performance and being rewarded by visiting Lawless Brewing, where he enjoyed a delicious anniversary sour. We also have a good laugh over some fun beer facts and studies. And we even find a study that shows that podcast listeners are smarter than your average bear, and the 14 slang terms every beer drinker should know.

Beergirl Mel and Streat Meats call in to update us on their latest adventures.

Booze News:

  • Sapporo-Stone are expanding and making more beer than ever.
  • A beer truck overturns in the snow in California. At least the beer stayed cold.
  • Craft beer numbers reveal 26 of the top 50 craft breweries recorded volume declines in 2023.
  • Exploration of Beer Can Island, a party spot turned environmental cleanup project in (you guessed it) Florida.
