Welcome back to the Craft Beer Republic Remix, version 2! Flex is still running the show while Greg recovers from his lingering Lingus, and Erica’s back in the mix to keep things on track. Flex shares his new obsession: a pastry sour so good it borders on romantic, while Erica talks about killing rattlesnakes, surviving Aftershock Festival, and accidentally turning her Beer Babes pool party into an icing ambush. Plus, we coin a new beer slang term, roast Spotted Cow’s clout, and flirt dangerously with launching our own brewery just so we can call it Daddy.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  • Flex is drinking Magic Wands from Xul Beer Co., a blueberry lemon cheesecake pastry sour that he calls “heaven in a can.”
  • Erica is drinking Mambo Italiano Pilsner from Mikerphone Brewing, a crisp Italian-style pilsner with notes of fresh bread and balance for days.

Flex is the captain again and shares how his daughter’s “pink pony club beer pick” led to one of the best sours he’s ever had, and Erica talks about her trip to Aftershock, a one-day run of bands, beer, and a surprisingly solid Marilyn Manson performance. The radioactive spider bite saga continues, complete with new Spider-Man theories, and Erica casually drops that she killed a rattlesnake with a shovel like it was just another Tuesday, a beer well earned.

Flex introduces a new segment, “Obscure Beer Term of the Week,” breaking down what it means to be a “ticker” and sparking a chat about Untappd culture, Spotted Cow hype, and how the beer scene has evolved. 

Booze News:

  • Aslin & Torch and Crown form a weirdly named supergroup
  • Sazerac’s Fireball faces a class action for being fake fire
  • Dad Strength scores $300K on Shark Tank with barely-beer IPAs
  • Swedish woman booted from tennis match for drunken heckling
