Gross Beer Origin Stories
Episode Summary
Who’s ready to join Flex’s beer guild? Steph stops by to hang out and share one of her favorite beers of all time. Flex just got back from a baseball game and Greg had a fight with his Uber driver over some teams. We’ve also got beer fertilizer, a dumb baseball-beer challenge, and a new gross beer origin story.Beers We’re Drinking:Greg is drinking Row 2 Hill 56 Pale Ale from Russian River, a clean, crushable Simcoe pale.Steph is drinking Secale from Red Rock Brewing, a rye barrel-aged doppelbock, rich and whiskey-forward.Flex kicks things off by unofficially launching his beer guild, complete with membership rules and it’s first member. Greg shares a rideshare that turns into a full Dodgers vs Giants argument with a driver who won’t stop talking, which explains why he’s fully out on small talk. Steph drops back in like she never left and ends up in the middle of a real debate about Idaho’s beer scene before things drift into long-term goldfish survival, backyard memorial plans, and how a $10 fair prize somehow became a permanent responsibility.Booze News:St. Patrick’s Day still boosts draft beer even on a weekdayMarch Madness lifts Busch Light, Guinness, and Blue MoonFirestone Walker takes over U.S. production of Trumer PilsBrewDog drops from billion-dollar hype to discount buyNatty Light turns spent grain into lawn fertilizerGiants’ “9-9-9” challenge isn’t actually 9-9-9Follow your favorite beer podcast on the socials:Flex: Instagram: @flex_me_a_beerCraft Beer Republic: CraftBeerRepublic.comInstagram: @CraftBeerRepublicFacebook: CraftBeerRepublicPodThreads: CraftBeerRepublicVoicemail: (805) 538-2337Follow & Subscribe:Apple PodcastsSpotify
