Batch285: There’s a First Time for Every Beer Lover

What is the slang du jour? It's the slang of the day. Mmm, that sounds good. I'll have that...
Necknosh's salty captain, Erica, stops in to hang with Flex and Greg as they talk about playing with sharp objects, beer turned into liquor, disappearing hard seltzers, and at-home cocktail machines.

Flex starts the hydration session with Braaaaaaaains - Pineapple, Guava, & Dragonfruit. Greg and Erica are sharing Drekker's Triple Berry Pie Slang Du Jour. It's also Erica's first-ever Drekker!

Greg and Erica both went axe throwing, complete with lots of drinking and playing with sharp things. What cocktails make you think of Las Vegas? And Greg talks about getting wasted in a new town while strangers buy him drinks.

Thanks to Indiana for making things weird with this week's Ludicrous Libation Law.

Sierra Nevada is doing some Jesus things; they're turning beer into whiskey. A group of beverage makers has joined forces to create an Adult Non-Alcoholic Beverage Association. The U.S. House of Representatives is working to regulate CBD beverages. It turns out that retailers are starting to ditch hard seltzers, but what will replace the shelf space? And Keurig is stopping production on their at-home cocktail machine.
