Batch273: Drinking Beer with a Straw

Batch273: Drinking Beer with a Straw

Author: Craft Beer Republic October 13, 2021 Duration: 43:26
Grab your beer-straws and favorite costumes; it's time to get hydrated! Coley stops back in to hang with Flex and Greg as they talk about drinking your way through an anniversary trip, favorite costumes and corresponding impressions, getting drunk with your boss, and celebrating back-to-school with booze.

Greg and Coley are sipping on Radiant Beer Company's collaboration with Topa Topa Brewing, a dark Kolsch called Am I Even Kölsch? After that, they get hoppy with Wild Sparrow from Pure Project Brewing.

Flex was (finally) able to drop the kids at school and head off to do some needed research. Coley went to her boss's vacation house to shoot guns, make wine, mix cocktails, and drink beer through a straw…quite the weekend! There's a significant discussion on beer-straw drinking and when it's necessary. Especially when costumes are involved. Greg went on an anniversary trip and drank his way through the countryside.

Ohio coming in strong for some Ludicrous Libation Laws; don't get your fish drunk.

An elderly woman recovers from COVID and celebrates by pounding a beer. Doordash is expanding its deliveries to include booze. And Molson Coors is being sued again for claiming Vizzy is healthy.
