Prepare your crystal beers; Greg, Flex, and Erica are reading fortunes! Erica stops by to discuss new breweries, big-time beer collabs, living on a farm, Olympic beers, New Jersey brewery laws, and 2024 craft beer predictions.

Erica and Greg are drinking Peanut Butter Lovers, a New Glory Craft Brewery stout. Flex is sipping on Ghost in the Machine, the popular Hazy IPA from Parish Brewing Company.

Fresh off of making some accurate beer predictions, Flex and Greg pontificate on what 2024 should have in store for the beer world.

In the News Flight: Corona Cero will be the global beer sponsor of the 2024 Summer Olympics, but does it really count? Miller Lite has released “beer” flavored mints. And after hearing Flex talk about them, Sweetwater Brewing doubles down on their Gummies line.
