Grab those beers and join us with arms wide open. Greg and Flex get into boozing on a budget, a listener writes in to set Flex straight, and Greg finally tries Beatboxes so everyone else doesn’t have to. There’s a voicemail about getting wrecked on fruit punch, a Costco beer that smells like banana candy, and a reminder that Florida is still Florida. Add tacos, onions, and some beers that we used to know to get your favorite beer podcast.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  • Flex is drinking Breakfast at Tiffany’s from Mikerphone Brewing, a Berliner-style weiss with blueberry and maple syrup.
  • Greg is boozin’ on a budget with Kirkland Signature Vintage Ale, a 12% barrel-aged budget bomber.

We’re taking polls: what are beers you used to love and just can’t do anymore? A listener writes in to set Flex straight on his “my sister-in-law’s husband” phrasing, and the ruling does not go his way. The guys get into tacos, why onions matter, and the emotional damage left behind by ground beef tacos pretending to be real tacos. Greg reports back after finally trying Beatboxes at Total Wine, confirming that free samples can still feel overpriced. BuzzBall sightings make an appearance, along with holiday memories no one asked to relive. There’s also talk of new international listeners, which has Greg wondering if it’s time to gas up the jet and go say hi.

Booze News:

  • New Mexico’s largest brewery shuts down taprooms after a bankruptcy filing gets denied.
  • Brewery closures continue to outpace openings as survival matters more than expansion.
  • GLP-1 medications hit drinking tolerance harder and last longer than expected.
  • Florida man blames DUI on a medical condition he cannot pronounce.
  • Florida man allegedly attacks a Publix manager with a Salvation Army donation kettle.
