Yule Log Drops and Holiday Hops

Yule Log Drops and Holiday Hops

Author: Craft Beer Republic December 20, 2023 Duration: 47:28

Season's Drinkings to all our wonderful listeners! On Batch 387, Coley joins Flex and Greg for our favorite holiday tradition! We’re also talking about our drunken Friendsmas celebration, drinking super old wine, the horrors of Christmas shopping, non-alcoholic White Claw, and our favorite Christmas tradition! 

-

Flex is sipping on Holiday Spice from Lakefront Brewing. Coley and Greg are drinking The Polar Xpresso from Brewery-X

-

We’re all talking about how awful Christmas shopping is and what we’re getting our spouses. Coley hosts Friendsmas at her house, and there was expensive beer and super old wine. There was also a Danish Kringle, which sounds a bit dirty. Is Jägermeister a dessert liquor? Let us know. And it turns out that having Coley on the show is a Christmas tradition!

-

Our breaking news story is that White Claw is releasing an alcohol-free version. Isn’t that just sparkling water? And we have the 30 worst Christmas songs of all time. What’s your least favorite?

-

And the moment we’ve all been waiting for, the best holiday tradition of all time: the dropping of the yule log!

-

Shout out to Austin, TX, our top listening city of last week!
