Drinking and Sporting

Drinking and Sporting

Author: Craft Beer Republic March 27, 2024 Duration: 43:09

Let’s keep the party going for Batch 401; Scott and Dan are back with Flex and Greg! We’re talking about traveling and drinking, upgrading your booze selections, keeping it saucy on the golf course, politicians getting involved in beer, and drunk platinum-status travelers.

Flex is sipping on Samsara IPA from Evergrain Brewing in Pennsylvania. The other gents are drinking MC^Ghost from Parish Brewing and Equilibrium Brewing

Did you know a new Ghostbusters movie is coming out? Dan and Flex are very excited. Greg went on a work trip and managed to get some research done. He has a PSA about spirits selections when you’re getting fancy cocktails. Flex is getting sporty and drunk on the golf course with his new-found love for golfing. Dan reveals his love for minor league hockey and the Milwaukee Admirals. It turns out he often goes to watch games and gets drunk on the cheap. 

New Jersey is back at it with this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law.

In Booze News: Congress is looking to give tax breaks to bars with new draft beer systems. Politicians are sticking their noses where they shouldn’t with THC beers. Wyoming adopted new franchise reform laws. Stone promises to get back to making beer…mostly. And a drunk platinum flyer really needs to drink a little water and stop asking people their size.

Shoutout to Pennington, New Jersey, for being our top listening city last week.
