Buttloads of Beer
from Craft Beer Republic
Welcome back to Craft Beer Republic, where Greg and Flex settle into the groove early, shout out the neighbors, and immediately prove that kids picking your beer can either go very right or very wrong. There’s a disco ball IPA, a listener confession that brings back the beer horror story era whether anyone asked for it or not, and a real discussion about why some brewery memberships feel like math homework. Somewhere along the way, we learn that “buttload” is not just a phrase, rice lagers get official recognition, and having a dead snake on your wrist might actually get you out of a DUI. Probably. Beers We’re Drinking Flex is drinking Disco Beer from Evil Twin Brewing, a double IPA with Sauvignon Blanc grape juice and Citra and Nelson hops. Greg is drinking Culture Vulture Hazy IPA from Fall Brewing, citrus-forward with orange zest leading the way. A listener email drags the show back into beer trauma territory with a bottle-conditioned saison that smelled like a barn and finished like a wet dog with hobbies. Greg and Flex compare worst-beer memories, including a stout that tasted like iron filings and a Firestone release that somehow still has thousands of positive ratings. The conversation turns into a full-on debate about brewery memberships, mug clubs, and why doing the math sometimes ruins the vibe, especially when the perk is a mug nobody asked for. Somewhere in there, Flex admits he respects anyone who keeps pre-cut limes ready for parking lot Modelos, Greg confesses his complicated relationship with movie theater beers, and both agree that late-night happy hour is one of humanity’s greatest achievements. Booze News Leinenkugel’s leadership stays in the family as the presidency changes hands. Goat Patch Brewing has a new spot in Colorado. Rice lager officially joins the Brewers Association style guidelines. Iowa man pulled over with open Modelos and a lime ready for action. Drunk driver in India allegedly escapes police by threatening them with a dead snake.
