Fish Tank Beer

Welcome in, craft beer friends. Greg finds out that a gummy, a couple beers, and a few hours staring at the water can apparently fix a bad week. Flex says he could do the same thing with deer. Listener Steve sends in an oyster stout story that finally finds Flex’s limit, because bull-testicle beer is fine but seafood is where we draw the line. And a Florida man gets pulled over with 34 open White Claws in the passenger seat, which sends us straight into old drinking stories and some truly terrible decisions.Beers We're Drinking:Flex is drinking Citra on the Dock of the Bay from Eagle Park Brewing, an 8% all-Citra New England IPA that gets five daddies.Greg is drinking Thou$ands of Money from Pure Project, a 7.1% murky IPA packed with tropical fruit that lands just under the usual Pure Project greatness for him.Greg spends a few hours sitting on a tiny dock with some beer and a gummy and decides staring at water is pretty great. Apparently Flex’s version of this is watching deer run around, so welcome to Hippie Corner. Listener Steve sends in an oyster stout that tasted like the water from a pet-store goldfish bag, and we finally find a gross beer Flex won’t drink. Elephant poop? Fine. Bull testicles? Sure. Oysters? Absolutely not. Greg threatens to send him one anyway. Then we get into old road soda techniques, including Greg hiding beer in a McDonald’s cup and keeping the straw because you have to sell the disguise. That rolls into Bud Platinum, flavored Smirnoff, raspberry vodka, and Flex learning the hard way that matching someone else’s three-second pull from a vodka bottle is a terrible way to figure out your tolerance.Booze News:Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy Is Going NALawson’s Launches a Non-Alcoholic IPAGarage Beer Gets an Apple VersionFrance Has a Marathon With 20 Wine StopsFlorida Man Gets a DUI With 34 Open White ClawsFollow 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 PodcastsSpotifyMore links
