Batch284: Hoppy New Year & Exploding Beers

Author: Craft Beer Republic December 29, 2021 Duration: 40:30
Ever drink too much in a strange city and wake up with no idea what happened? Erica, the Pretzel Queen, drops by to get the New Year’s party started with Flex and Greg. The group talks about exploding party beers, New Year’s celebrations, the top beers and breweries of 2021, and some breaking craft beer news!

Greg kicks off the hydration with Stone Brewing’s Enjoy By 01.01.22, an unfiltered IPA. Erica joins in the New Year’s beer theme with Lights Out Stout from Worthy Brewing in Bend, OR.

In addition to fun end-of-the-year shenanigans and drunken New Year’s stories, the group tackles the essential topics: when do the Christmas decorations come down?

Florida coming through with some weird Champagne vibes for this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law.

In breaking craft beer news, the parent company of Sweetwater Brewing has purchased Green Flash Brewing in San Diego. We also have the top 10 beers and breweries based on Untappd check-ins. And some New Year’s Eve drinking traditions from around the globe.
