Flex vs Corporate Beer Lady

Welcome in, craft beer lovers! World Beer Cup winners are out, Stone changes hands again, and 21st Amendment is getting revived on the East Coast. Flex is drinking a guava-heavy sour, Greg and Erica crack into a hazy from Sacramento, and somewhere along the way a brewery wins gold for a beer made with pig heads. There’s also a listener call about flat beer, a near HR incident involving Yuengling, and a Tesla that decided it was done babysitting its drunk driver.Beers We’re Drinking:Flex is drinking Alphabetical Order Pink Guava Gose from Component Brewing.Greg and Erica are drinking Bear Hug Hazy IPA from Touchstone Brewing.Flex sticks his foot in his mouth and manages to insult Yuengling directly to someone who works for MillerCoors and has to walk it back in real time. A voicemail about a flat kölsch turns into a quick reminder that bad beers still happen, even at good breweries. Brian from Madison tries to strong-arm Flex into finally attending a real beer fest while Erica calls out Fontana Jim and the logistics of last-minute brewery meetups. Greg introduces a medal-winning beer brewed with pig heads, which somehow turns into a full discussion about eating pig brains and where the line actually is.
