Dinosaur Beers

Dinosaur Beers

Author: Craft Beer Republic May 15, 2024 Duration: 46:46

What’s a Dinosaur Beer, you ask? We’ve got you covered. Flex is out sick, and we’re calling in the big guns to fill those short shorts. With Beergirl Mel’s help, we’re digging to the back of the fridge and digging up our oldest dinosaur beers. We’re also talking about Mother’s Day drinking, making our own skinny seltzers, another lawsuit over beer names, awful wedding beers, and more teachers getting drunk at school. 

Greg reached way back and pulled out a 2020 Stone and Modern Times collab: Wizards & Gargoyles, a coffee-hazy IPA. Mel dug up Babe Brew 6, another hazy IPA, this time from Saint-Houblon—La Microbrasserie. 

As you can imagine, we discussed the importance of drinking beer fresh. Don’t be like us and save them. We’re also talking about our Mother’s Day shenanigans. Mel went to see family and did a fair bit of drinking, while Greg convinced his mom to go wakeboarding and wine tasting. The two discussed what alcohols are good for trying to shed a few pounds, and Michelob Ultra is not in the running. 

The homie Chew Your Beer calls in with a brewery review of sorts. Thanks to Chew, we talk about breweries in bad neighborhoods and picking up street meats after drinking. 

In the News Flight: Wisconsin Brewing launched a non-alcoholic beer with Harley-Davidson, Firestone Walker is getting into the NA scene with 8ZERO5, and Massachusetts makes cocktails to-go a permanent fixture.

In Booze News, the founder of Lead Dog Brewery buys back his former business. BrewDog CEO James Watt finally steps down…sorta. No-Li Brewing files a lawsuit over the use of a beer name. Modelo Especial and Michelob Ultra are topping the sales charts. And another teacher gets fired for getting drunk at school.
