Beers from Friends

Author: Craft Beer Republic July 12, 2023 Duration: 44:08

Batch 364: Cheers to Friendly Beers! Flex and Greg are back at it, diving into the exciting topics of our post-holiday adventures, Flex's memorable birthday celebration, encounters with eccentric individuals on the bustling Vegas strip, New Jersey's reluctance to embrace coolness, the humorous side of drunk dads, and the top beer cities in the US!

-

Thanks to Beergirl Mel, Flex is sipping Serpent Herders, a triple IPA from District 96 Beer Factory. Greg is drinking Fritz, a pilsner from Gnosis Brewing that Zack sent over. 

-

Greg spills the beans about the upcoming Emo Fest at Naughty Pine Brewing, an event you surely won't want to miss! Flex shares his epic birthday shenanigans and his delightful exploration of a new brewery. Together, we recount our thrilling 4th of July festivities and ponder a pressing question: Which location boasts a higher concentration of weirdos, Las Vegas or Hollywood?

-

We delve into the realm of legislation as the New Jersey legislature approves a bill aimed at loosening restrictions on breweries, only to be met with opposition from the governor. A lot of dads got drunk on Father’s Day last month. And did you know that Saucey, the alcohol delivery platform, is now eager to bring your "sexual wellness" products right to your doorstep? 

-

Lastly, we unveil the crème de la crème of beer cities in the United States, along with some not-so-favorable mentions of the worst ones. Discover the vibrant landscapes where craft beer culture thrives and where you can savor the most exceptional brews our nation has to offer.
