Batch266: Has Beer Jumped the Shark?

Batch266: Has Beer Jumped the Shark?

Author: Craft Beer Republic August 25, 2021 Duration: 36:51
Who’s ready to conduct some science? Coley joins Flex and Greg as they figure out what she’ll be drinking for a punishment beer, conduct science on two pickle beers, dig into some Beer Zombies, and try to find out why Mt. Dew needs a hard version.

Flex kicks off the hydration with Nelson Revengeance, a Double IPA collab from Mason Ale Works and Beer Zombies Beer Co. Next, Greg and Coley conduct beer science on two pickle goses from Texas: Martin House Brewing’s Best Maid Sour Pickle Beer and 903 Brewers Pickle Gose.

We get down to important business: what is Coley’s entrance music? We also have to address the fact that she and the Booze League have not paid up on their NBA Finals bet. We also are one step closer to knowing who left the voicemail for us last week, and a listener writes in to corroborate with Flex.

Boston Beer is getting in bed with Pepsi for a Mt. Dew hard seltzer, but why? In addition, the FTC is investigating the partnership between GoPuff & Uber. And for another “but why?” story, Goose Island is releasing a cola version of Bourbon County.

Thanks to Pennsylvania for this week’s Ludacris Libation Law. Hint, it requires some driving around.
