Prepare for some beer-fueled chaos as Greg and Flex tackle everything from home renovation nightmares to the sacred art of finding the perfect taco guy. They’re diving deep into Oktoberfest beers, reminiscing about parties that may or may not involve too many plays of the same song, and sharing their thoughts on some dangerously smooth brews. Whether you’re here for the laughs or the beer news, this episode has you covered. Grab a beer and tune in—things are about to get interesting.

Beer Reviews:

  • Greg is drinking Short Lived, a collab Cold IPA from MadeWest x Fremont Brewing.
  • Flex is sipping on Seven C’s, an anniversary beer with, you guessed it, 7 hops from 1840 Brewing.

Greg talks about meeting up with Andrew, aka @Ventura_County_Beer, to talk about beer, the local craft scene, and get the latest from Beer Paper LA. The conversation shifts to party antics, including the dangers of letting Nick get too hammered and control the music at parties. Flex embarks on his mission to research Oktoberfest beers, one pint at a time, ranking the best ones he’s had so far. Meanwhile, Greg deals with the joys of home renovation and the eternal quest for a good taco guy.

Booze News:

  • Tilray acquires four more breweries from Molson Coors, including Hop Valley and Terrapin Beer.
  • Jay Wakefield Brewing announces the closure of its Wynwood taproom in October.
  • Sapporo reports its biggest month of shipments ever, thanks to special can art.
  • Sierra Nevada holds a summit to reaffirm its commitment to beer-focused innovation.
  • A new list reveals the most expensive airports to grab a beer in the U.S.—who’s got the most expensive beers?

Shoutout to Fremont, CA for being our top listening city of this week.
