Good Boy, Here's a Beer

Good Boy, Here's a Beer

Author: Craft Beer Republic January 29, 2025 Duration: 36:17

Welcome in, craft beer lovers! This week, Greg and Flex are back with an episode that hits harder than a triple IPA after a long workday. We’ve got questionable road trips, big hearts (with a “t”), and some hilarious revelations about drunk driving, pants removal, and the unsung heroes of beer-drinking adventures. Grab a cold one because this episode is one for the books.

Beers We're Drinking:


Greg shares his strategy for navigating the tap list at small breweries like There Does Not Exist, and Flex reminisces about a watermelon gose that deserves a comeback. The guys hilariously unpack the logistics of driving naked, and we raise a toast to the unsung heroes of drunken escapades—those friends who set us up with buckets, blankets, and couches when we needed it most. Plus, Greg and Flex dive into the big questions: where do beer drinkers want to buy their brews, and what can breweries do to get us to drink more? We need your answers!

Booze News:

  • Dogfish Head announces a 30-minute light IPA with only 95 calories. Can they really pack that much flavor into something so light? Stay tuned.
  • Constellation Brands is raking in the cash as beer prices soar.
  • Laguna Beach takes the title of DUI capital of California, thanks to its party-town vibes, endless drinking establishments, and tourists who can't resist.
  • Police are on the hunt for a man who drove naked and drunk after a fight.
