Sour IPA Comeback Tour

Welcome in, craft beer fans! Greg finds a hazy that actually delivers, Flex accidentally grabs a milkshake IPA that’s way better than expected, and “healthy beer” becomes a full argument. There’s some price shock of pints around the nation, a longing for sour IPAs, and a few beers that no one asked for. We've also got crazy Bud Light truck drivers, blind beer tournaments, and a reminder that beer prices make no sense depending on where you live.

Beers We’re Drinking:

1. Greg is drinking Anchormanatee from Humble Sea Brewing, a foggy IPA with citrus and soft tropical notes.
2. Flex is drinking Raspberry Double Marbles from More Brewing, a milkshake double IPA with bold raspberry and smooth finish.

Flex shouts out New Jersey before immediately getting into why it deserves it, while Greg locks into a hazy that actually hits. Beer prices come up and turn into a quick reality check depending on where you live, followed by a rundown of “healthy” beers that doesn’t convince anyone. Flex stumbles into a milkshake IPA that ends up being way better than expected, and that gets them talking about sour IPAs and how they’ve basically disappeared. There’s some back and forth on easy summer beers, bringing back blind tasting tournaments, and the kind of beer ideas that sound better than they drink.

Booze News:

1. Shock Top goes high ABV with a double wheat twist that no one asked for.
2. A Wisconsin brewery shuts down after short-lived revival.
3. Target expands THC drinks just in time for 4/20.
4. A stolen Bud Light truck chase ends in attempted murder charges.
