Buckle up, tap heads, we're going on a beer trip! Flex returns from a whirlwind trip to Nashville that involved banjos, birthday beer, and a suspiciously bougie breakfast buffet. Meanwhile, Greg brings tales from Colorado where he drank his way through the Rockies, crushed trivia, and found himself in the middle of a country concert and a lightning storm at Red Rocks. Plus, one of them may have developed a deep spiritual bond with a beer bottle that looks like it belongs in a drawer marked "private." Let’s just say it’s one hell of a ride this week.Beers We’re Drinking:Flex is sipping on How to Train Your Marshmallow from Evil Twin brewing.Greg drinks Portraits (Carignan) by Sante Adairius Rustic Ales, thanks to a listener. Flex's one-day trip to Nashville could only be described as "country chaos meets luxury carbs." From a jaw-dropping resort buffet to a surprise country concert at the Grand Ole Opry, he covered more ground in 24 hours than most of us do in a week—and he still found time for overpriced Paulaner and cheap mountain dew. Meanwhile, Greg’s Colorado birthday bash included first class flights, boozy bar crawls, and trivia domination (or at least participation). The highlight? Seeing Andrew McMahon at Red Rocks under a lightning-lit sky while sippin' road sodas. There was also a ton of beer research, and an appearance by NoHo Hank. Booze News:New Beach Beer Bottle Raises Eyebrows and Questions.Goose Island Drops Classic-Style 2025 Bourbon County Lineup.Spanish Marie Brewing Issues Public Call for Support.UK Teacher Accused of Boozing, Cursing, and Macarena Mayhem.Flex: Instagram: @flex_me_a_beerCraft Beer Republic: CraftBeerRepublic.comInstagram: @CraftBeerRepublicFacebook: CraftBeerRepublicPodThreads: CraftBeerRepublicVoicemail: (805) 538-2337
