Craft Beer Road Trip

Craft Beer Road Trip

Author: Craft Beer Republic July 10, 2024 Duration: 42:42

Join us for a hilariously chaotic episode of Craft Beer Republic! Greg, Nicole, and surprise guest Vanessa dive into their latest beer adventures, hangover cures, and the art of getting kicked out of bars. From Vanessa’s epic brewery road trip to Greg’s unexpected icy surprise, the best beer and wings, and naked Florida Man, this episode is packed with laughter, banter, and, of course, great friends and beer.

Beers We're Drinking:


Episode Highlights:

Vanessa stops in on her road trip down the West Coast to hang out and share some beer with us. She also walked in the door and immediately iced Greg, who’s already a bit hungover. She woke up and chose violence. Everyone shares their hangover fixes as we talk about all of the breweries she’s stopped at (70), especially the local ones that we were able to visit with her. Nonalcoholic beers are a waste of calories—prove us wrong. We also discuss our favorite “crap beers” and share stories of getting kicked out of bars.

Erica calls in while Vanessa was visiting her to talk about all the fun they were having together, as well as all the beers they enjoyed.

Booze News:

  • Allagash launches a new NA Hop Water.
  • BuzzBalls is suing Beverage Ranch of the shape of their drinks.
  • The worlds most valuable beer brands.
  • And drunk Florida Man gets naked and hides in a trash can. 

Shoutout to Pennington, NJ, for being our top listening city of last week.
