Pour yourself a cold one and get ready to dive into the latest from Craft Beer Republic! Greg, Flex, and Boris—the new head brewer at Pedals & Pints—kick back with stories from the brewery trenches, a few epic beer fails, and plenty of laughs. Boris spills on his journey to head brewer, Flex keeps things fresh with a killer autumn lager, and Greg’s got a new hazy that’s almost too drinkable. Join the crew as they serve up everything you love about craft beer: good friends, great brews, and even better stories.

Beers We’re Drinking

  • Greg is enjoying Psychedelic Vibes from Shred Beer Company, a 6% hazy pale ale that’s bursting with notes of peach, orange, and citrus.
  • Flex drinks up with Frisbee from Eagle Park Brewing, a juicy New England-style IPA at 8.5% with heaps of mosaic hops and a smooth, fruity finish.
  • Boris brings Foilage, an autumn lager from Enneagram Brewing, with a hoppy, malty body perfect for fall.

Greg shares his recent appearance on the Taproom Podcast with Mike, then spills on a mini beer adventure with Erica and McDreamy, hitting up High-Hand Brewing, Shred Beer Company, and Track 7. We dive into Boris’s story and his new role as head brewer at Pedals & Pints, where he’s crafting new brews and planning for holiday stouts, fresh hop blends, and the ultimate Christmas beer lineup. The crew debates the perfect spot for a brewery, and the homie Chew Your Beer calls in with some critical advice on burgers and beer—and a spot you’ll definitely want to avoid.

Booze News

  • Modern Times is getting a shake-up as Maui Brewing’s parent company spins off the beloved brand, handing it over to two new partners who promise a fresh start.
  • Speaking of Modern Times, they’re currently having a garage sale if anyone needs brewing equipment.
  • Alesmith Brewing stirs up curiosity (and some skepticism) by introducing a hard cider to their year-round lineup, raising questions about what craft drink fans are looking for next.
