Welcome in, you beautiful beer nerds! This week, Flex brings the beer snobbery, Greg’s hotter than a sun-soaked stout, and Erica’s fresh off the salty seas with snacks and hazies. We’re talking beer mix-ups, birthday voicemails, blackout rage gallons, and how Flex is emotionally scarred by a mislabeled IPA. There’s also news on MobCraft’s comeback, Delirium’s shipping spree, and a Florida man story that’s peak Florida. Grab your pretzel necklace and let’s party like it’s the Pink Pony—just, y’know, with less fire.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  • Greg cracks open Keeping Time from WeldWerks—a hazy that started rough but warmed up nicely.
  • Erica sips Shred-Head from Evergreen Brewing—sent straight from PA with pretzels and passion fruit vibes.
  • Flex breaks out Citra Cream from Phase Three—a pillowy, tropical cream bomb he’d hook up to his water fountain if he could.

Flex’s beer snob moment at dinner ends with a bruised ego and a canceled pint, while Erica’s kids are out here calling anything in a can “beer” like it’s totally normal. Greg relives a suspiciously clear “hazy” that sent him down a spiral, and somehow everyone ends up bonding over beer trauma. The crew discovers the chaotic world of BORGs—blackout rage gallons are officially a thing—and Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day scene might be even wilder than expected. Chew Your Beer checks in with birthday vibes and beer fest plans, and Greg casually drops that his nephew was born on 3:16 and is now destined to live in jorts and wrestling tees. And Flex might’ve found his dream life in Chicago’s unlimited ice cream museum.

Booze News:

  • MobCraft Rises Again: New owners take a $160K gamble on Milwaukee’s most inconsistent brewery.
  • Canada’s Presidential Pack: Moosehead sells out of their beer-a-day-for-four-years crate—because obviously.
  • Delirium Dumps the Tank: 300,000 liters are en route to beat the tariff apocalypse.
  • Florida Man Strikes Again: Drunk dude sets strip club on fire, adds a little... splash for the cops.
