Our Basic Pumpkin Episode

Our Basic Pumpkin Episode

Author: Craft Beer Republic November 1, 2023 Duration: 39:33

Grab a pumpkin beer and get basic with us! Deb is back, and there’s not a PSL she’s ever turned down. On Batch 380, we’re talking about Taco Tuesday, football players buying fans beers, new Sunday beer sales for New York, the Floridaman Games, and the importance of whipped cream and pumpkin pies.

-

Flex is drinking a Halloween classic, Pumpking, from Southern Tier Brewing in Lakewood, NY. Greg and Deb are sipping on Pumpkin Ale from Kern River Brewing Company

-

Our beer selections bring up an important debate: can you have pumpkin pie without whipped cream? Listener Bryan gives us a big update about “porn in the morn.” Somehow, this brings up buffets and how good/gross they are. And Taco Tuesday isn’t under copyright anymore. Should we rename the show “Taco Tuesday Podcast?”

-

Shoutout to Boydton, VA, our top listening city of last week.

-

In the News Flight: Steffon Diggs tracks down some Bills fans and buys them a beer, and the Brewers Union of Georgia loses the vote over at Creature Comforts. 

-

In Booze News: Bud Light is the official sponsor of the UFC. New York is extending beer sales on Sundays; get ready for that 6:00 AM bender! The Floridaman Games are coming to St. Augustine in February 2024. A California man is arrested for riding his horse drunk. And 8 Halloween Beers you need (so they say).
