Welcome in, thirsty people! Greg and Flex are back to quench your thirst for craft beer and questionable decision-making. This week, Greg takes a “totally unplanned” trip to San Francisco Beer Week (sure, buddy) and manages to turn a simple bay cruise into an elite-level beer smuggling operation. Flex holds down the fort with some delicious Wisconsin brews and a deep dive into why Sheboygan has an odd sheep obsession. Plus, we’ve got booze news, terrible funeral director choices, and a heated (but not a baseball show) debate over the Dodgers.

Beers We’re Drinking

  • Greg: Fog City Hazy IPA – San Francisco Brewing Co. – A hazy with surprise bitterness, aggressive carbonation, and a backstory involving a near beer flood.
  • Flex: The King of Sheboygan – Young Blood Beer Co. – A juicy double hazy that flexes tropical flavors and zero bitterness—just don’t ask about the sheep.

Greg’s “totally not a beer trip” to San Francisco somehow included Beer Week, a booze-filled bay cruise, and a questionable amount of beer smuggling. Flex, on the other hand, takes a deep dive into Sheboygan’s unexpected sheep obsession—because, of course, Wisconsin.

Also, Greg stumbles upon an airport beer win, Flex crushes another stellar Wisconsin brew, and an old man with a PBR and a breakfast burrito might have life figured out better than all of us. Plus, there’s a heated (but not a baseball show) debate over the Dodgers, and Greg nearly breaks his own brain trying to recall obscure ’90s wrestling trivia.

Booze News

  • Georgia Distributors Throw a Fit – Small breweries want self-distribution, and big distributors aren’t happy about it. Shocking.
  • Texas Cracks Down on THC Drinks – The Lone Star State is trying to kill the buzz—literally.
  • Drunk Funeral Director Busted – A Minnesota man shows up sauced to pick up a body. Bold move.
  • Drunkest & Soberest Colleges in America – BYU stays dry, while an unexpected school takes the top drunk honors.
