Drunk Movie Buddies

Drunk Movie Buddies

Author: Craft Beer Republic July 15, 2026 Duration: 39:20

Grab a beer, craft beer friends. Flex gets back from a birthday road trip with great brewery stops, a ballpark full of craft beer, and an amusement park souvenir he’d rather not have. Greg introduces everyone to the wonderful world of elephant poop beer, and the guys go full movie buddy with Bio-Dome. An on-again, off-again craft brewery loses another location, and a drunk driver gets two cars stuck in the mud before moving in for a nap.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  1. Flex is drinking Midwest Sound from Phase Three Brewing and Eagle Park Brewing, a hazy double IPA packed with mango, tangerine, and passion fruit.
  2. Greg is drinking Short Lived IPA from MadeWest Brewing and Coronado Brewing, a clear West Coast IPA with light strawberry and a dank finish.

Greg and Flex officially become movie buddies with a synchronized Bio-Dome night, and Greg’s warning that his wife should probably take a gummy turns out to be solid advice. Greg escapes the heat with beers, food, and the dogs on the patio at Malibu Brewing, while Flex comes back from his birthday road trip with a stop at Modist Brewing, plenty of craft beer at Target Field, and a waterfall judged by whether jumping off it would kill you. The Mall of America log ride also leaves Flex with a very adult souvenir, leading to a discussion about the surprising number of ways a person can get a hemorrhoid.

Booze News:

  1. Ballast Point shuts down its San Francisco taproom.
  2. Untitled Art ends operations after ten years.
  3. Anchor’s old labels return while the beer remains missing.
  4. A Georgia DUI suspect gets two cars stuck in the same mud.
