TJ Maxx Beer Dreams
from Craft Beer Republic
Welcome to your favorite craft beer podcast. Flex is 41 days sober, but Greg and Steph are doing enough drinking to make up for it. Greg rolls the dice on a hype 4-pack while Steph dusts off a favorite she’s been hoarding. A listener writes in about his buttered popcorn lager horror story, Flex is trying to recruit for his beer guild, Wisconsin old fashioneds get publicly dragged, a Florida man attempts his own airport obstacle course, and Flex starts pitching TJ Maxx but for beer like it’s a real business plan. Beers We’re Drinking: Steph is drinking Sour Brainless on Pineapple by Epic Brewing – barrel-aged tart pineapple Greg is drinking Apocalypse Road Trip Hazy IPA by El Segundo x Beer Zombies – tropical, mild pine bitterness Flex opens hot with a full Midwest grudge against Illinois drivers that really escalates when the Cubs and Bears fans get brough up. A listener email about a buttered popcorn lager turns into a full-on diacetyl intervention. Greg revisits Electric Limbs, his “morning piss” beer saga only to find out someone else got a perfect can, but Intern Brian found the golden ticket in a perfect can. Flex breaks down the economics of a 6-pack in the 1980s vs now while Steph and Greg team up to dismantle Wisconsin old fashioneds while Flex tries to defend them like it’s a personal responsibility. And Flex works desperately to get people to join his beer guild. Booze News: Eagle Park scoops up Soul Boxer and jumps into canned cocktails. Lost Abbey adds a fourth location and keeps things confusing. Florida man tries speedrunning airport security with DUI bonus points. The top MLB stadiums to catch a cheap buzz.
