Batch280: New Thanksgiving Traditions & The Perfect Beer Algorithm

Batch280: New Thanksgiving Traditions & The Perfect Beer Algorithm

Author: Craft Beer Republic December 1, 2021 Duration: 44:30
Not following the Flex Algorithm when buying beers can really get you in trouble. Intern Brian stops in to provide some pro bono work as the group talks about Thanksgiving hangovers, how to make eggnog even worse, and Coley pays up on the Booze League bet.

Flex kicks off the hydration with a review of Abracadaver, a double IPA from Modist Brewing. Next, Greg is sipping on Slush Doggie Dogg Vol. 2 Blue Razz Style, a heavily fruited sour from Local Craft Beer in collaboration with Sippin With Sky and Bay Area Craft King.

The crew discusses their Thanksgiving holiday and some new traditions. Brian talks about his love/hate relationship with eggnog, and Flex got burnt by his own beer-buying algorithm. Also, Erica finds one more way to gross us out even more with her holiday beverages.

Coley finally pays up on the NBA bet between the Republic and Booze League, making her the only member to honor her side.

Shout out to Alabama for leaving us with more questions than answers.

Drizly is partnering with 7-Eleven to get more booze into more livers. Constellation Brands is getting friendly with Monster energy drinks. Russian River will host the Pliny the Younger release in-person in 2022.
