Mug Club Olympics
from Craft Beer Republic
Welcome back, craft beer travelers. Flex finally makes it to New Glarus and comes home with a pear beer worth talking about, while Greg discovers double dry hopped Pliny and suddenly remembers why people get excited about Pliny in the first place. The guys try to fix modern mug clubs with secret passwords, member-only beers, and beer Olympics, Intern Brian mounts a legal defense for Florida Man driving backwards down the highway, Scottish soccer fans drink Boston bars dry, and a British Airways crew member makes an unforgettable last call request. Beers We’re Drinking: Flex is drinking Pear 26 from New Glarus Brewing, a tart pear fruit beer worth the Wisconsin detour. Greg is drinking Separation Anxiety from Mother Earth Brewing Company, a hazy IPA with tropical fruit salad energy. Flex reports back from his family trip to Cave of the Mounds, where he was apparently the most excited person on the tour, then gets surprised with a New Glarus stop that feels a little underwhelming but still sends him home with a haul. Greg brings mug club math to the table and immediately makes it less depressing by pitching member-only beers, dumb brewery Olympics, secret passwords, and a mug wall that does not require people to carry their own glass around like a weird little goblet. Intern Brian calls in to defend Florida Man driving backwards down the highway, which gets Greg and Flex wondering if there is technically a law against it as long as the blinkers work. The guys also find Flex’s ketchup limit, and it is broccoli. Booze News: Busch Light Lime returns because apparently Apple was not enough. Scottish soccer fans drink Boston bars into emergency delivery mode. Heineken and Heinz team up for the beer-and-ketchup combo nobody requested. British Airways crew member offers “funbags” for one last drink and ruins tomorrow’s flight schedule.
