United We Stand, Drunken We Fall

Suck it, Dry January! Erica stops in as we talk about our New Year's festivities, weird foods from Wisconsin, beer poking, chunky beer, more brewery closures, and drunk-robbing a baseball team. -Flex drinks King of the Thing, a double IPA from Drekker Brewing. Erica is sipping on Avenger, another DIPA from Loomis Basin Brewing. And Greg is reviewing Repeated Exposure, a Hazy from Four Legs Brewing.-Greg talks about his low-key travel-packed New Years. Erica did New Year's Eve with her kids at home and tricked them into going to bed early. Flex has a giant, multi-course feast that only could happen in Wisconsin. Listener Davis writes in to confirm Flex's super gross mid-west food and introduces us to beer poking. And Greg takes a road trip and brings back some beer for the road. -Chew Your Beer calls in to ask about chunky beer, and find out where Flex works.-Mumford Brewing and another southern California brewery close their doors. Roadhouse Brewery Group officially scoops up Melvin Brewing. Also, turns out a "Melvin" is something very different. Athletic Brewing is pushing too hard for dry January. A drunk guy robs the Milwaukee Brewers after a baseball bender. And the list of potential names for the Guava Gose collab with Pedals & Pints. -Erica: Instagram: @Neck_Nosh_llcNeckNosh.com-Flex:Instagram: @flex_me_a_beer-Craft Beer Republic: www.CraftBeerRepublic.com Instagram: @CraftBeerRepublicFacebook: CraftBeerRepublicPodTwitter: CraftBeerRepub(805) 538-2337
