In this engaging episode of The Craft Beer Republic, Greg, Flex, and Erica navigate through the latest happenings in the craft beer world while sharing plenty of laughs and stories. They discuss the intriguing sale of Anchor Brewing's real estate, Flex’s experience getting duped by a brewery (again), staying true to the beer algorithm, and we are working for our beer. 

Beers We're Drinking:

·      Erica & Greg: Enjoying "Mega Gummy Worms" a hazy double IPA from New Glory Brewing. 

·      Flex: Trepidatiously drinks Nectaron Prime from Blacklist Brewing.

Greg talks about his beer and wing research he did over the weekend, and talked about his favorite new running group: the Lager Joggers (thanks Enegren). Erica talks about the (lack of) beer choices while she was drinking at Universal Studios. And Flex went and did some glitter beer research; but why?

Shoutout to Virginia for this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law. This brings up an important question: is West Virginia worse than regular Virginia? 

Booze News:

  • Creature Comforts has named a new CEO.
  • Lakefront Brewery to acquire Public Craft after bankruptcy. 
  • The Brewers Association has eliminated part of the Great American Beer Festival and have made changes to the layout and rules of the event. 
  • Anchor Brewing’s real estate price has been revealed.
  • A woman has been diagnosed with auto brewery syndrome!
