Welcome to the land of beer! Greg and Flex are reunited and it feels so good! Greg's got travel stories, Flex gets philosophical about Four Loko, and there's a surprise “icing” that might go down in family history. We talk about doing beer research (the hard-hitting journalism the people deserve), weird off-flavors thanks to shipping beers, and Greg’s never ending beer trip. We’ve got a listener voicemail, and Florida Man get’s an ATV.

Beers We're Drinking

  • Greg is sipping Grazing Clouds by Mountains Walking—a juicy banger with a suspicious funky twist.
  • Flex cracks Muscle for Rank from Drekker Brewing—tropical haze with mango vibes, but the peach ghosted him.

Greg get’s denied entry to San Francisco Brewing Co after a cable car and too much walking, but redeems it all with a Nerds-rimmed sour and a classic Irish coffee. Flex tests his old man drinking tolerance with a beer fridge cleanout including a 12% stout. Hangovers just hit different these days. After some winetasting and a failed wakeboard trip, Greg’s wife becomes the MVP of the family by hiding Smirnoff Ices in a baby shower diaper cake. Pablo calls in to give props to Flex and throwdown some education. Flex finally has his first Four Loko. And we break down the reasons why you should stop buying beer. 

Booze News

  • TTB Tax Pilot Program: Good news for brewery owners who like fewer forms and more beer.
  • Instacart Launches “Fizz”: It’s like Drizly with group orders and shared tabs. Cue the lazy party planners rejoicing.
  • Corona Sunbrew O: Because lime-flavored beer water wasn’t citrusy enough.
  • Modelo Oro in Bottles: Light, tasty, and now bottle-ized for all your beachy needs.
  • Monster’s Alcohol Sales Tank: Nasty Beast Hard Tea isn’t exactly flying off shelves. Wonder why.
  • Florida Man Goes Full GTA: Drunk, shirtless, ATV joyride with finger guns and a knife. Florida’s gonna Florida.
