Welcome in, thirsty friends! We’ve got Flex, Greg, and the one and only Erica back in the mix—and things get juicy real quick. From wild seltzer collabs and trivia smackdowns to birthday shenanigans and beer with literal Swedish Fish in it, this episode covers all the essentials: beer, banter, and questionable karaoke decisions. Also, turns out Greg and Flex are both pretty passionate about Taylor Swift, and Erica may or may not have danced sober at a silent disco. Don’t judge—just pour yourself something delicious and jump into the good times.

 Beers We’re Drinking:

  • Greg cracks open Lutefisk from Old Irving Brewing (with Chaos Brew Club) – A kettle-soured Swedish Fish beer.
  • Erica sips on West Coast IPA by pFriem Family Brewers – Bright, crisp, and slightly dank.
  • Flex dives into Tropics in the Toes from Young Blood Beer Co. – a mango and raspberry sour IPA.

Erica’s back and gearing up for her Beer Babes collab event with a majestic purple peach seltzer (brewed by badass women only, of course). Greg celebrated his birthday by beating the trivia pants off a pizza place team and stealing their gift card like a champ. The gang reflects on past GABF shenanigans, including silent disco disasters, missed lucha libre sightings, and questionable food decisions. Also, we learned Flex has Taylor Swift on shower rotation, Greg hates Oasis, and Erica might have a nose as sensitive as a drug dog. It’s all very on-brand.

Booze News:

  • Boston Beer Breakups – Truly LA and Angel City Brewing are both getting the axe
  • Three Weavers Goes Chapter 11 – LA brewery hits tough times but fights on
  • Boston Beer CEO Steps Down – Jim Koch is back in charge of the mothership
  • High Noon Recall – Some cans labeled as energy drinks were actually vodka sodas. Surprise buzz!
  • Oasis Reunion = Pint Party – Wembley sells over 250k beers per night, making Coldplay and Swift look like lightweights
