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.
