Getting Sauced on Turkey Day

Getting Sauced on Turkey Day

Author: Craft Beer Republic November 22, 2023 Duration: 44:08

Who’s ready to get thankful (and a bit tipsy)? On Batch 383, we’re getting sauced for turkey day as we drink some beers we’re grateful for. We’re also talking about Flex’s dabbling, the most popular Thanksgiving booze, Blackout Wednesday, more craft “strategic partnerships,” truckloads of alcohol go missing, and anti-hangover shots!

-

Flex is drinking an Apple Pie Imperial Stout from Lion’s Tail Brewing. Greg is sipping on Gemeinschaft, a collab between El Segundo Brewing and Enegren. And Zack is reviewing…something different.

-

Flex talks about his hatred of fruit pies; who hates fruit pies? He also talks about his time spent with the THC seltzer from Eagle Park. It turns out that Flex is now a dabbler. We talk about our favorite spots for Blackout Wednesday and the most popular Thanksgiving Day booze, thanks to Drizzly. 

-

Smuttynose Brewing’s parent company snatches up Five Boroughs Brewing. Ninkasi is closing its Better Living Room location. Ecliptic Brewing was acquired by Great Frontier Holdings (aka Ninkasi). Somehow, literal truckloads of alcohol have gone missing. Wisconsin may become the first state to have its own cocktail. And a new anti-hangover shot is hitting the market, but does it actually work?

-

Shoutout to Indiana for providing our Ludicrous Libation Law.
