Breaking! Flex Drinks Bud Light Next and Lives!

Breaking! Flex Drinks Bud Light Next and Lives!

Author: Craft Beer Republic September 7, 2022 Duration: 41:03

We hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. Flex is back! We’re talking about some new breweries, drinking with Instagram friends, trouble for hop growers, and Flex has some awful news to share about what he’s been drinking.

Flex is sipping on Desert Noise from Eagle Park Brewing. Greg is drinking Cactus Cat from Ogopogo Brewing.

Greg talks about the party Pedals & Pints threw for Emo Night and what a great job Monica and Brit did on their emo collab beer. He also got to hang out with friend-of-the-show Fontana Jim at Naughty Pine. Flex did unofficial research with friends who gave him a Bud Light Next; not most incredible friends. He also tried to get drunk from some 450 North cans, but there wasn’t any alcohol; now, he just has fruit flies. 


Chew Your Beer calls in to give Greg the business about his feelings on Untappd.


Mikkeller closes its San Diego taproom and production facility but still won’t address the real problem. In October, Maui Brewing and Modern Times will be under the “Craft Ohana” umbrella. Sapporo officially closes on their deal with Stone Brewing; another one bites the dust (this becomes a therapy session). Another San Diego brewery, Green Flash, is hitting the auction block this month. And German hop crops are not doing so well with the drought, it might be time to find some new varietals and we have questions.
