Welcome to your favorite craft beer podcast. Flex is 41 days sober, but Greg and Steph are doing enough drinking to make up for it. Greg rolls the dice on a hype 4-pack while Steph dusts off a favorite she’s been hoarding. A listener writes in about his buttered popcorn lager horror story, Flex is trying to recruit for his beer guild, Wisconsin old fashioneds get publicly dragged, a Florida man attempts his own airport obstacle course, and Flex starts pitching TJ Maxx but for beer like it’s a real business plan.

Beers We’re Drinking:

  1. Steph is drinking Sour Brainless on Pineapple by Epic Brewing – barrel-aged tart pineapple
  2. Greg is drinking Apocalypse Road Trip Hazy IPA by El Segundo x Beer Zombies – tropical, mild pine bitterness

Flex opens hot with a full Midwest grudge against Illinois drivers that really escalates when the Cubs and Bears fans get brough up. A listener email about a buttered popcorn lager turns into a full-on diacetyl intervention. Greg revisits Electric Limbs, his “morning piss” beer saga only to find out someone else got a perfect can, but Intern Brian found the golden ticket in a perfect can. Flex breaks down the economics of a 6-pack in the 1980s vs now while Steph and Greg team up to dismantle Wisconsin old fashioneds while Flex tries to defend them like it’s a personal responsibility. And Flex works desperately to get people to join his beer guild.

Booze News:

  1. Eagle Park scoops up Soul Boxer and jumps into canned cocktails.
  2. Lost Abbey adds a fourth location and keeps things confusing.
  3. Florida man tries speedrunning airport security with DUI bonus points.
  4. The top MLB stadiums to catch a cheap buzz.
