Eau de Pabst
from Craft Beer Republic
Welcome in, craft beer besties. Poop Beer Gate lives on thanks to a beer that four grown men agree tastes like hot dog water. Greg thinks breweries need to loosen up, hand out a few splashes, and make craft beer fun again. PBR is working on a beer soap so you can smell like a Milwaukee lake day, which Flex wants absolutely nothing to do with. And Greg meets a guy who brags about drinking for free at a brewery he can't pronounce. Beers We're Drinking: Greg is drinking Watt Strike What from Smog City Brewing, a 6.3% hazy IPA with plenty of citrus and tropical fruit that gets a rare Smog City thumbs-up from Greg. Flex is drinking Ford F***ing Ranger from Young Blood Beer Company, a 6.5% West Coast IPA that's juicy, dry, and tastes a lot better than its sewer-water appearance suggests. Greg has been trying to find decent beer near his hotel, and ChatGPT has twice sent him on some bullshit, including one bottle shop where he questioned whether he and his car were safe. Maybe AI isn't ready to be your beer sherpa. On the brighter side, Deb and Brian's trip to Captain Fatty's gives Greg an idea for making craft beer fun again: talk to customers, hand out a splash, blend a couple beers together, and stop assuming everyone walking into a brewery already knows what they want. Then there's the Trader Joe's cashier who tells Greg he's part German and drinks for free at Enegren, despite being unable to pronounce Enegren. Poop Beer Gate also gets Matt's nomination for the Mount Rushmore of terrible beer: a wheat beer that tasted like hot dog water. Four guys tried it. No one finished it. Booze News: PBR and Dr. Squatch made beer soap for anyone looking to smell like a Milwaukee lake day. Mice, roaches, and sanitation problems temporarily shut down Victory Brewing's Philly taproom. 1,602 cases of beer disappear in California, and PBR puts up a $20,000 reward. A Wyoming DUI suspect tells police he hasn't had “enough” to drink.
