Beer So Nice I Bought It Twice

Beer So Nice I Bought It Twice

Author: Craft Beer Republic September 10, 2025 Duration: 43:01

Time to get those last beers of summer, crack open and join us! We’re talking pocket pancakes at ballgames, party houses outside Lambeau, and beers so bad they come with a trauma response. A listener shares the legend of a poop-flavored pint, which spirals into confessions about dirty lines, old cans, and hazies that somehow pour clear. Big breweries are calling it quits, Florida Man takes to his lawn mower, and it’s time to vote for beer!

Beers We’re Drinking:

  • Flex is drinking: Watermelon Wavelength – More Brewing Co. A tart, juicy gose so good he went back to buy another just for the show.
  • Greg is drinking: Cloud Racer Hazy IPA – All Season Brewing. Surprisingly bitter, slightly boozy, and possibly old enough to vote.

Tailgating in Wisconsin is a whole different world when party houses near Lambeau turn into backyard bars. Other weird Wisconsin sports traditions? Pancakes in your pockets. Listener Gabe writes in with a legendary poop beer story, which kicks off a full therapy session about beers gone bad. From mislabeled IPAs to sunscreen-flavored Modelo, what gets you to send back some nasty beer? That also leads us to Trader Joe’s mystery beer bags, sketchy movie theater beer taps, and a few beers that should’ve never made it to the draft list in the first place.

Booze News:

  • 21st Amendment is shutting it down – San Leandro brewery closing and seeking a buyer
  • Maine Beer Co. co-founder is running for Senate – Launches campaign to unseat longtime Maine senator
  • Ohio cop shows up drunk to a 911 call – Officer removed from duty after responding while intoxicated
  • Florida man drives lawnmower down a toll road – Arrested for DUI on highway during morning traffic
