Do I Feel a Saison Coming?
from Craft Beer Republic
Welcome to the Oregon Trail of craft beer. Flex drains two bad beers before a saison finally turns the night around, Greg checks out a brewery soft opening where every beer tastes suspiciously similar, and listener Steph joins the growing campaign to drag Flex to Great Taste of the Midwest. There’s also a coffee stout made with poop-adjacent beans, Cinco de Mayo drinking regrets, glow-in-the-dark 15% malt liquor light bulbs, and a DUI story featuring a .349 BAC that really should’ve come with a priest. Beers We’re Drinking: Flex is drinking Supermoon Beer Company’s Saison, a crisp farmhouse ale with light funk and old-school saison character. Greg is drinking Altamont Beer Works’ Cali Hop Trip, a modern West Coast IPA collaborate with Firestone Walker and Hollingbery & Son Hops. Flex accidentally assembled the worst beer lineup imaginable before the show, including a metallic peach Berliner and an expired IPA that both ended up down the drain. Greg recaps a local brewery soft opening where the beers tasted unfinished and somehow nearly identical despite being different styles. Listener Steph leaves a voicemail demanding Flex stop dodging Great Taste of the Midwest, which turns into a full-on intervention once Pilot Tom gets involved. Greg and Flex also debate poop coffee beer, relive disastrous Cinco de Mayo drinking decisions from their younger years, and question why anyone thought glow-in-the-dark 15% malt liquor light bulbs needed to exist.
