Two Beers and a Yule Log

from Craft Beer Republic

Welcome in, beer podcast lovers. Flex is out with the lingus, but Erica jumps in to fill those short-shorts. Greg finally tracks down his annual dosing of Sierra Nevada Celebration, Erica brings her own Sierra Nevada winter vibes, and the holidays officially kick off with champagne dreams, questionable work parties, white elephant rules that make no sense, and the long-awaited dropping of the Yule Log. There’s also a raw egg beer cocktail nobody asked for, some very loud Christmas traditions, and Florida doing what Florida does best, getting frisky in a grocery store parking lot. Beers We’re Drinking: Greg is drinking Celebration Ale from Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. — classic West Coast holiday tradition. Erica is drinking Skiesta Bavarian Lager from Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. — crisp, bready, easy winter lager. Flex is out, Erica is in, and she wastes no time talking about her holiday white elephant party and why fancy work parties are basically designed to make everyone uncomfortable. Greg finally completes his Celebration Ale hunt without committing to a Costco-sized mistake, proving that two cans is the perfect amount of that beer, once a year. They get into their shared love of champagne, Erica’s love of chnog, and Greg’s ongoing refusal to attend holiday parties—even if there’s free booze involved. Everything wraps up the only way it should: with the most important Christmas tradition of them all, the annual dropping of the Yule Log.
