Welcome to our favorite beer podcast! Greg goes dino hunting and unearths a mystery beer hiding in his fridge while Flex shows up fully prepared. Listener Jay drops a dime on some Russian River treasure. Our Halloween recap breaks down into adult trick-or-treating and Greg’s low-effort but high-offense costume masterpiece. And the cops are picking up beer cans in Evansville, and Junior goes for a joyride… back to the station.

Beers We’re Drinking

  • Greg is drinking Zombie HWhip Raspberry Birthday Cake from Beer Zombies — smoothie sour with raspberry and birthday cake vibes.
  • Flex is drinking Watercolors Fruit Punch from Skygazer Brewing Company — smoothie-style sour with pineapple, passionfruit, raspberry, and mango.

Greg kicks things off with a fridge find that looks more like a melted popsicle than a beer, while Flex flexes with a picture-perfect pour. Listener Jay tips them off on where to find Blind Pig and all those barrel-aged “-ification” gems from Russian River. Greg's been messing around with SEO, turns out he's a nerd and the Craft Beer Republic is now charting! Flex’s adult trick-or-treating reveals one of his major flaws: he hates jello shots. And Greg talks about his Halloween evening and now “infamous” Peter-Peter costume. And happy birthday to Erica!

Booze News

  • Upright Brewing calls it quits and pivots to Beer Station vibes.
  • Maui Brewing scales back to focus on the West Coast.
  • George Clooney and the Casamigos crew are launching a non-alcoholic beer.
  • In Evansville, Junior takes “one for the road” a little too literally.
  • And the drunk honesty from an Ohio driver is ever so refreshing.
