What’s Your Beer Sign?

What’s Your Beer Sign?

Author: Craft Beer Republic May 28, 2025 Duration: 40:18

Kick off your shoes and crack a cold one—you're hanging with Craft Beer Republic. Greg’s got his lab coat and is back on his “beer research” grind, while Flex finds out what happens when brunch in a can goes sideways. The guys dive into beer horoscopes, swap stories from their younger (dumber) days, trade booze for cheeseburgers, and try to make sense of a USPS driver who decided vodka pairs well with mail delivery.

Beers We’re Drinking:


Greg and Flex dive headfirst into beer horoscopes, debating whether anyone actually enjoys saisons or if sweat socks are just part of the experience. What’s your beer sign? A trip down memory lane brings stories of red-light scavenger hunts and some drunken conveyor belt races at the grocery store. One late-night drive thru turns into a cheeseburger-for-booze trade that somehow pays off. Flex gets into a stare-down with traffic-blocking geese, and Greg rediscovers the lost art of beer hunting at a neighborhood spot that finally brings the fun back. And hype breweries, are they worth the hype?

Booze News:

  • Bourbon County Gets a Makeover – Goose Island’s barrel-aged stout goes mini
  • Anheuser-Busch’s Big Three – The top-selling beers no craft fan wants to claim
  • California Kills the Party – Our drinking habits are ruining national spirit sales
  • Vodka on Route 12 – A mail carrier turns USPS into BYOB
  • 11 DUIs Later... – One man’s tires aren’t the only thing running on empty
