Get ready to raise a glass as Indiana Trash Elvis, AKA Zack, joins us for another round on Craft Beer Republic. In this episode, we cover a range of topics, including the pros and cons of having kids at breweries, interesting beer trivia, the latest in non-alcoholic beer, and what to drink on the golf course. Plus, we dive into the hottest news in the beer world, including the recent layoffs at Drizzly and White Claw's foray into the vodka market.

-

Greg is drinking Casa Agria's Strata Stunts, a hazy IPA. Flex is sipping on Suite 207, a collab from Enlightened Brewing, Eagle Park, Component, and Torzala Brewing Company. 

-

Flex dubs Zack the Indiana Trash Elvis, and it's very fitting. Greg goes on a beer field trip and brings back some cans. We talked about brewery trivia and the weird kid that kept running around. Zack is trying some NA beer from the UK, but is it any good? Which beers pair best with golf and disc golf. And sake: hot or cold?

-

Melissa calls in to talk about taking booze to go from restaurants. Turns out it's normal in some places.

-

Finally, we round off the episode with the biggest news in the industry, including Firestone Walker's decision to send their iconic 805 Beer across the country and Jack Daniels' collaboration with Coca-Cola for some RTD cocktails. Plus, we reveal the 20 best breweries in the US that you simply can't miss.
