Welcome in, you glorious beer guzzlers! Greg and Flex are back just in time for Saint Patrick’s Day with a fresh batch of beer-fueled nonsense. Greg drops a HUGE piece of industry news that he's been sitting on for weeks (seriously, the suspense was killing him). Flex reviews a hazy IPA so thick it should come with a spoon, and the guys dive into some questionable history facts (spoiler: Flex is just making things up at this point). Plus, we’ve got craft beer hot takes, trivia victories, and a deep discussion on why Rolling Rock is… well, Rolling Rock.

Beers We’re Drinking


Greg and his trivia crew, Prestige Worldwide (featuring the Silly Billies), won the Best of the Best trivia night, and he’s letting everyone know about it. Flex is developing his own Tongue Jobber comic strip. The guys make fun of breweries that insist on making their own Guinness alternatives, and Greg has some very strong opinions about it. We also learn about Greg’s recent trip to Malibu Brewing, where he enjoyed some new beers, fantastic weather, and apparently burnt end turkey. And we’ve got St. Patricks’ Day Fun Facts! 

And the biggest news of all—Monica and James have moved to Austin! Our favorite brewer duo has taken on new roles at Fast Friends Beer Co., and Greg finally gets to spill the details on what that means for the Austin beer scene. Spoiler: It’s about to get real damn good.

Booze News

  • Monster Energy’s big mistake – They took a $130 million hit on their alcohol brands. Shocking, right?
  • Tilray does it again – Revolver Brewing’s production is getting shut down and moved elsewhere. Another craft brewery bites the dust.
  • Mexican beer prices are going up! – Thanks to a 25% tariff and an old legal agreement, your Modelo and Corona are about to get a little pricier.
