Batch277: Beer Trips, Secret Bars, and Sober Dancing

Batch277: Beer Trips, Secret Bars, and Sober Dancing

Author: Craft Beer Republic November 10, 2021 Duration: 43:33
The Dream Team is back, baby! Deb is back to hang out with Flex and Greg to review an Illinois beer, and a California brewery with the best can art. The trio also talk about beer road trips, hunting down beer on family vacations, popular craft beer ingredients, and a new edition of Masterdrunk Theatre!

Flex sent Greg and Deb Triadic Harmonies, a triple IPA from Phase Three Brewing, one of his favorite Wisconsin breweries. Next up is a review of Raised by Dingoes, an IPA from Paperback Brewing Company.

Flex tells us all about his trip to Disneyworld, trying to hunt down good beer, and the strange, phallic shapes at his hotel. Greg went on a road trip to meet up with some friends and do a little beer research, including a “secret” beer bar. Deb had some family in town, who was nice enough to bring some excellent whiskey over…which promptly disappeared.

On an all-new Masterdrunk Theatre, listener Brandon shares his text string of quitting his job.

Thanks to Vermont for this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law and for putting baby in a corner.

November 28th is the third annual Small Brewery Sunday; get your drinking shoes ready! A drunk teenager in India shoots himself (spoiler alert: he’s mostly fine). Tavour has the three 2021 craft beer flavor trends.
