Superdelic Hops, Bro!

Superdelic Hops, Bro!

Author: Craft Beer Republic June 4, 2025 Duration: 49:05

Grab a pint and pull up a seat, because this episode is a straight-up hangout. Greg and Flex are talking Memorial Day misadventures, from Flex dominating the annual backyard game of HORSE (while drinking, of course) to Greg accidentally attending a fired coworker’s awkward wedding reception-only party. There’s sangria, journey cover bands, Uber pukers, meth pants (yes, really), and a whole lot of laughs. This one is packed tighter than Flex’s fridge on a Friday night.

Beers We’re Drinking:


Flex absolutely crushes the family basketball tourney, holding court and a triple IPA at the same time. And yes, he sent a victory pic with a plastic horse as his trophy—because that’s what legends do. Meanwhile, Greg found himself in the middle of a very small, very weird wedding reception where the bride and groom were 45 minutes late and the DJ was out here cranking the volume instead of vibes. Later in the show, things take a sharp turn into backseat disaster territory as the guys swap stories about puke in cars—who’s thrown up, who’s cleaned it up, and where Uber drivers draw the line. But the weekend got saved by a lake day, backyard beers, and a gummy-powered Journey cover band concert. Also, shoutout to Riverside (the city, not the software), and hello again to our friends in the Netherlands. Apparently, we’re big in places with excellent healthcare and dial-up speed internet.

Booze News:

  • RIP to Highland Brewing founder Oscar Wong, the godfather of craft in North Carolina
  • Great Divide is closing two Denver taprooms—RIP to post-Rockies beers
  • A woman gets caught with meth in her pants and a 1970 Camaro
  • Uber driver dumps drunk passengers on the highway. Drama ensues.
  • Topo Chico confusion: not all seltzer is boozy, people!
