Welcome to Craft Beer Republic, we are excited to drink today! This week, Greg and Flex are keeping it intimate with candles, Kenny G, and Pliny the Elder. Whether it’s Greg battling California wildfires and weird strangers or Flex showing off his dog whisperer dad, this episode is one wild ride. Plus, we discover why Hard Mountain Dew is… a thing? Grab a drink and dive in—it’s a beer-fueled therapy session you don’t want to miss!

Beers We're Drinking

Greg and Flex: Pliny the Elder by Russian River Brewing – A double IPA icon with crisp hops and a smooth 8% ABV that’s dangerously crushable. Finally popping Flex’s Pliny cherry.

Greg and Flex sip on a West Coast classic while catching up on the absurdities of life. Greg’s been juggling California wildfires, power outages, and an awkward beer run that included plenty of Pliny and some questionable company. Flex shares memories of college cocktail disasters and explains why some beers are worth the hype (and others definitely aren’t). It’s a mix of chaos, beer, and laughs you won’t want to miss.

Booze News

  • Hydration? Nah. New Belgium’s making a boozy Gatorade. It’s 5% ABV and already questionable.
  • Beer Dynasty Drama: The Leinenkugel family wants their brewery back, but Molson Coors says, “Nah.”
  • Dew the Booze: Hard Mountain Dew is here, but Greg and Flex are having flashbacks to bad decisions.
  • Philly Loves BYOB: Most Philly restaurants are BYOB—because why not pair that cheesesteak with your own stash?
