The Greatest Boring Beer I've Ever Had

The Greatest Boring Beer I've Ever Had

Author: Craft Beer Republic November 6, 2024 Duration: 1:01:54

Hey beer lovers, grab your Dynaboost and get ready for the latest in craft beer! Boris (Pedals & Pints) is back with Greg and Flex, and he’s got some hop knowledge to drop. Plus, we’re diving into those horrendous Costco advent calendars, drinking on the job, awkward brewery comedy nights, and drunk Florida man ghost riding the whip. 

Beers We’re Drinking

  • Boris is drinking Dank Meter, a dank, tropical West Coast IPA collab from ISM Brewing and Riip Beer Company
  • Flex is sipping What’s the Triple in the IPA? from Evil Twin Brewing—a monster triple IPA with a smooth pour and a budget-friendly price tag. Triple the hops, triple the fun!

Boris dives into hop geekdom with a rundown on the latest in hop tech, like Dynaboost. We talk about old school IPAs and not missing those protein shakes. We crew swaps holiday horror stories about the infamous Costco advent calendar disaster—yes, Boris went back for more, year after year. He also gets basic on us, professing his undying love for New Glarus Spotted Cow—it’s Midwest royalty, after all. Greg spices things up with a question about the most horrendous beer flavors possible, with nightmare brews like liverwurst lager and nacho cheese ale making the cut. And, if that’s not enough cringe, Greg shares a painfully awkward experience at a brewery comedy night,

Thanks to Missouri for this week’s Ludicrous Libation Law.

Booze News

  • Oskar Blues is (for some reason) rolling out a new non-alcoholic Dale’s Pils as well as a session IPA.
  • New Glarus Brewing is starting a $55 million expansion project.
  • And a Florida Man goes to Pennsylvania, get’s hammered, and ends up on top of his car.
