Alaskan Beer Jail

Welcome back, craft beer people. Greg finds out five hazy IPAs hit a lot different than they used to, Flex discovers a cucumber lime blond ale that belongs in the drain, and Alaska somehow makes ordering a beer harder than it needs to be. Add a Fourth of July survival plan built around action movies, laundry, and a very nervous dog, plus an appearance from Nine Loko that nobody asked for.

Beers We’re Drinking:

1. Flex is drinking Road Trippin’ from Elm Creek Brewing Company, a hazy pale ale with stone fruit and road-trip timing.
2. Greg is drinking Born Into Light from Everywhere Beer Co, a fresh hazy IPA with tropical mimosa energy.

Greg realizes the recovery from five 7% hazies lasts a lot longer than it used to, but learns his reputation as the group’s happy drunk is still intact. Flex follows up on last week’s beer regrets by discovering the Phase Three beer he skipped for the show was incredible, then balances that out with a cucumber lime blond ale that went straight from can to sink. The Fourth of July plans turn into Greg explaining the elaborate action movie and laundry routine that keeps his dog calm during fireworks, which somehow sends both of them down a rabbit hole of National Treasure, Spider-Noir, and the wonderfully strange career choices of Nicolas Cage.
