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.

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.
