No More Fun Beers

No More Fun Beers

Author: Craft Beer Republic October 23, 2024 Duration: 50:30

Welcome back, thirsty friends! This week, the Craft Beer Republic crew brings the laughs and a whole lot of beer talk. Greg has an awkward run-in during Uber Eats duty, Flex sips on a PB&J-inspired sour, and Erica gets worked up over grape jelly (Midwest vs. West Coast, anyone?). Plus, the gang comes up with ridiculous beer names based on their last texts—Flex’s “Boo to Fake Boobs” might just take the cake! And in Booze News, we dive into the latest updates from Stone Brewing, Tilray's big acquisition, and the shocking tale of a teacher hitting the bottle a little too hard.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  • Erica is drinking Fresh Juicy Strata from Moonraker Brewing, a hazy IPA bursting with fresh, sticky hop goodness.
  • Flex is enjoying We Go Together Like from 1840 Brewing, a PB&J-inspired sour that perfectly balances peanut butter and grape flavors.
  • Greg is sipping on Code Breaker from Trademark Brewing, a West Coast IPA that’s dank, piney, and refreshingly bitter.

Greg goes on a rant about how gross it is to find yeast cakes at the bottom of your hazy cans. Erica does some beer research at a few less-than-stellar breweries and shares her sadness over Monica leaving Pedals. The gang has a blast coming up with ridiculous beer names like “Missing Plug” and “Boo to Fake Boobs” based on their last texts, and they want to hear yours—send us your most ridiculous beer names! Plus, Flex’s beer choice sparks an epic debate: which jelly reigns supreme—grape or strawberry? Oh, and did you know it’s illegal to serve beer and pretzels together in North Dakota? Yeah, the crew has some thoughts on that, too.

Booze News:

  • Stone Brewing reveals their new business model-bye-bye to all their fun beers.
  • Jack's Abby is set to acquire Night Shift Brewing, making it the largest craft producer in Massachusetts.
  • We finally find out how much cash Tilray dropped to acquire those Molson Coors breweries (and how much they owe Neck Nosh!).
  • And an Iowa teacher gets arrested for being absolutely hammered in class.

Shoutout to Seattle, WA for being our top listening city of last week!
