Welcome to the Craft Beer Republic Remix! Greg’s under the weather this week, so Flex takes the wheel with Erica riding shotgun. Erica shares her Beer Babes weekend that turned into a Smirnoff Ice ambush, and Flex breaks down how much baseball fans are drinking during the playoffs. We also share some some wild beer stories; Godzilla teaming up with PBR, a cyberattack that shut down Asahi in Japan, and a guy who thought wearing a Walmart vest would score him free beer.

Beers We’re Drinking:

Erica is drinking Leezard King from Mindscape Fermentations, a hazy IPA with notes of peach rings and citrus peel.
Flex is drinking Land Before Time from BlackStack Brewing and Toppling Goliath, a juicy hazy loaded with orange and passionfruit.

Greg’s half-medicated and sipping Coke Zero while Flex steers the ship, and Erica settles right in with talk about her Dollar Tree obsession and their questionable bathrooms. The crew gives a shoutout to London for suddenly becoming the show’s top listening city and tries to figure out what they did to earn that kind of spike. Erica shares her Beer Babes weekend—six women, one pool, and a sneaky Smirnoff Ice prank that left everyone chugging and cursing her name—while Flex calls it “very yin and yang.” Things roll into postseason drinking habits, with Greg admitting he drinks more during football playoffs out of nerves and Flex confessing he celebrates quietly like a mime in a house full of women. And Flex decides to scar us with LeBron’s feet; don’t Google it.

Michelob Ultra tops Bud Light as America’s best-selling beer by volume.
