Join Greg and Flex in episode 415 of Craft Beer Republic as they dive into Fourth of July festivities, share their latest beer adventures, and discuss their holiday plans. Flex attends the Eagle Park Brewery's anniversary party, while Greg recounts a whirlwind trip to San Francisco for some research, we have complaints about all the mixed packs that have shelf turds in them, and we’ve got 4th of July beer and BBQ fun facts!

 Beers We're Drinking:


Flex talks about his trip to Eagle Park for their 7th-anniversary party and even made the beer brats for the big party. Greg takes a quick trip to San Francisco and sneaks in some beer research at 21st Amendment Brewing, which was lacking beer options. For the 4th of July holiday, Flex is hitting the fireworks with his kids and then planning to do some poolside drinking for his birthday. But Greg is keeping it low-key to try and avoid some of the crazy people. 

Fontana Jim calls in to complain about mixed 12-packs containing old, outdated beers like Stone IPA and Union Jack from Firestone Walker.

Booze News:

·      Guinness signs a four-year agreement with the Premier League.

·      Corona introduces "Sunbrew," a citrus cerveza that no one asked for.

·      Crowns and Hops wins the Sam Adams "Brewing the American Dream" competition from Boston Beer.

·      A 69-year-old man sets a new Guinness record by visiting over 100 pubs in 24 hours.

·      How much money people spend on beer, booze, and BBQ for the Fourth of July holiday!

Shoutout to New York, NY, for being our top listening city of last week.
