Who wears short shorts? Flex, of course. Erica comes in from Capistrano to hang out. We’ve got the best breweries near NFL stadiums, Flex is hulking up, Greg does a ton of road trip research, Erica is getting ready for a festival, and lagers are cool again!
Erica is drinking Numb and Number from Fall River Brewing…and totally redeems herself! Greg is sipping on Holy Bones, a Black IPA from Boneyard Beer, and Holy Mountain Brewing.
Flex has the alcohol metabolism of She-Hulk, and is gearing up for Halloween! Greg went to his first concert since Covid and did lots of research in Orange County (looking at you, Radiant). Erica is getting ready to ditch her kids and go to Aftershock. And we all talk about the importance of pre-gaming a concert. And Flex’s friend won a beer competition and had his recipe made!
The homie Chew Your Beer calls in to talk about Busta Rhymes and the beer selection at Dodger Stadium. He also has advice for Flex.
Heineken snatches up another brewery. Lagers are cool again, according to Drizly. Dunkin’ and Harpoon Brewing are at it again with some basic beer flavors. Dogfish Head is cutting costs and closing a taproom. And the best breweries near NFL stadiums.

Any shorter, they would not be shorts.Flex what's happening?
Nothing much. Was that hop on over?
Was that like a pun?
Was that like a like it like a pun?
(01:08):
Is that. Yeah.
Well, I would say, likeI thought about it and planned it out,
but I was like,I'm just going to say this now.
And luckily it wasn't offensive.
I don't think so half the time.
No, I.
Took zero offense.
I was just like, wow,this was pretty good for Greg.
Yeah. Greg, I. Had to sit. I feel.
Good that.
That was that was a solid A-minus for.
Greg and C.
Plus for everyone. Else.
(01:29):
But off to a good start already.
And then, of course, joining us,
the salmon of Capistrano,the salty sailor herself.
Erica, what the fuck is.
The salmon of. Capistrano?
That's from Dumb and Dumber Friends.
It's kind of going onwith my beard tonight.
You know, I'm flocking to CBRlike the salmon of Capistrano.
(01:49):
All right.
You remember. The show?I don't remember the movie.
Anyone except for the women. Dumb Dumber.
Yes, I remember.
I remember it.I haven't seen it in, like, 25 years.
What are you talking about?Going to Aspen, right?
That's been where the women flock,like the salmon of Capistrano.
Anyways, I. Don't remember that.
I'm so glad I could schoolyou guys on a movie for once.
Right now.
(02:09):
You got.You got to cut this entire part out
because we're just going to show,you know.
Now we're no. Better than you guys.
Now crank it out.
Which is funny
because I love the whole Aspen thingand that guy, that part of the movie
makes me crack up. I cannot believe I.
Well, the whole movie.
You know, does the job.
It's you can't stop laughingthe entire movie.
(02:30):
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I love it.
Yeah.
When I was young and it first came outlike I thought Aspen was in California.
When I first watch it,he was like, Oh, California.
I was like, Oh,I think there's one in Colorado.
Do I?
Yeah.
You know, and I'm done all in some way.
(02:51):
Yeah. Yeah, that's all right.
You should do it like a remake.
We're flexing rig travel the countryin a sheepdog van or something.
That would be.
That would be a no.
That's what we'll we'll do our tourthrough in Finland.
Yeah.
We need a sheepdog plane to hit Europe.
That is. Is it
so good.
Anyways follow us on the socialscraft beer republic selects
(03:14):
me a beer underscore is in between and NECNosh LLC underscores
in between each word there and eightdivided by three beer
if you want to call us speaking of cornwe got a voicemail from the homie.
Chew your beer He'sgot a bone to pick with a couple of us.
Can't wait to hear that one.
Oh, he's never angry, so that's good. Wow.
(03:35):
I have some research to talk about,
some booze, news to get to,and so much more.
I think we should kick off the hydrationwith what the salmon of Capistrano is.
Drinking over there.
Oh, I.
(04:06):
Hey, friends.
So tonight
I'm drunk and numb and numberby Fall River Brewing.
It is a double hazy IPA.
I'm already feeling this babyand it says Best Enjoyed Outdoors,
which is one reasonI love them because they always say
that on their beersand so is our best outdoors.
(04:27):
Right?
And the camp has that sheepdog vanright on the front there from some here.
That is awesome cannot it's.
Super and you know what
little triviawhat is that bird's name in the movie.
PD? PD, our pets heads are falling off.
So yeah, PD is on the can too.
And so I think, Greg, we really.
(04:50):
Blind bird to you or somebody in the deadbird.
To the. Blanket. To a blanket. Yeah.
And there's so many great linesfrom that movie.
It's so classic and so we reviewed Nam
Nam Juice and you played the sweet clipfrom that TMT Yes.
Yeah.
So this is Nam a numberbecause it's double hazy IPA
and it is a eight, it's 8.2% ABVso I'm feeling it 37 I've used
(05:16):
it is a four
on untapped very respectable in area.Yeah.
So I'm loving that.
So Fall River's in Redding, California,so just north of me about an hour or so.
So here's the details.
Just when you think it couldn'tget possibly any number,
we go and do something like thisand totally redeem ourselves.
(05:38):
Now I'm enamored, double hazy.
IPA is bursting with the sametropical juiciness of num num juice,
which was delicious,
but an even richer vibe that causesbeautiful people to flock instinctively.
Like the salmon of Capistrano.
Even if you've got no food, got no job,your pets, heads are falling off,
you've got numb and number.
So make like you're in Austria,throw another shrimp
(05:59):
on the barbie and crack open another one.
Make Lloyd and Harry proud.
Oh, look, first. So
there.
Is that.
And so this haze,you just got your typical hazy look. It's
it had a really nice foamy head on itand kind of a
maybe pineapple, a little stone fruit.
While you sip.
I will say that I appreciate all of thethe references on the description there.
(06:23):
Some. Random in there.
Maybe that was great.
So when you pour so.
Many more, they're notthere just makes like Mark yeah yeah.
I still want you guys to do thatas an opening but
hops.
Yeah, right. Nailed it.
It was quick.
Beer.
It's got a bit of a stone fruit taste and
(06:44):
some happiness.
A sweet
finish finishes with a little happiness,but not a big burn for a double the 8.2%.
I love it.
It's good.
I'm happy.
Sounds like it totally fits the algorithm.
It fits the algorithm.
This can is really on fire. I love it.
And do you prefer this one or the regularnum num?
I would probably drink the regular numnum a little more frequently
(07:05):
because I mean, when I drink a double,it's fast too.
So able to have a few more ranks.
But if I'm just going to have one orsomething, then this is perfect.
It's really good.
I'm happythat 88.2 is sort of wheelhouse for me.
Is it seems. Like beer for flex.
Yeah.
You are much more seasoned than me.
(07:28):
Yeah.
Have you guys been watching thethe She-Hulk series on Disney+?
Yes, I have.
I've actually been enjoying itvery much so.
Well, in there they describe thatlike when she's hold out, she can drink
way more.
Like her metabolism is super fastand she can't get hammered.
It's usually yeah back like she's normalperson get Tamara flexes the fucking.
Holsterhe hot yeah he's. So really. Good he
(07:50):
the hulk he can drink.
Without getting drunk.
My gosh I just had an epiphanythat explains the short shorts.
Because Hulk's shorts are really short.
Yeah, because when he.
Oh this is. Rips through them. Yeah.
They're green short shorts.
That'swhy this never crossed my mind before.
Well.
So now I got to talk.
Now I got to get my purple shorts,you know?
Yeah, right.
(08:12):
Oh. There you go.
Halloween costume, 2020. Two.
I was actually thinkingMacho Man this year, but.
Oh, yeah. So not sentenced on.
If you do.
Will you please walk aroundwith boxes of Slim Jims?
Yeah, I could probably do that.
I get them at work.
I can give you Slim Jim pretzel necklace.
Yes, that sounds amazing.
(08:34):
Amazing.
That'd be so.
Who the fuck doesn'twant to snap into a Slim Jim? No.
Yeah, everyone. Does.
Anybody who cares about their healthdoesn't want it.
But that being said,that sounds delicious.
We love you, Slim Jim.
Don't like sue us or something anyhow.
All right, well, that's the.
It's probably the most publicitythey've gotten in years.
(08:56):
Right? Probably accurate.
Somebody mentioned us. Right?
They're very shallow. They're long.
That's true.
Let's talk about Slim Jimsand Circuit City.
Very relevant product.
Most either have been made in a decade.
Fantastic.
All right. What's going on, you guys?
I went to my first actual concertsince COVID.
(09:20):
Ale was in.
Oh, and I did not get a black eye.
I miss it.
I mean, that is not.
Not the full effect of a concert.
You got to get the black guy. Inthere clearly. Done it wrong.
You were not serving enough.
Yeah, I was.
I, I did not ask for the full flextreatment when I walked into the door.
So anyway, we went saw Andrew McMahon.
(09:42):
For those who don't know,
he was the front manfor something corporate back in the day.
And then Jack's mannequinand now just Andrew McMahon on his own.
But it was his 40th birthday,so he did sets with something
corporate, brought him outthat is set with Jack's mannequin crew,
which is likehalf his current crew anyways.
And then did like the Andrew McMahon setis actually really awesome show.
(10:04):
Yeah, it sounds really good.
So I know a lot of the old school emopeople know who something corporate is.
So even for those of you who do knowhe did Constantine and it took like
18 minutes to get through.
So that was good timesall the guys came out for that one.
Everyone's like, who?
You know, it's a reallyit's like his stairway to heaven.
It just never ends.
I mean, he never does it at concertsbecause it takes up the time of,
(10:27):
like, three songs.
He doesn't want to,you know, take a little time anyway.
So so that was fun is down in OrangeCounty in Anaheim near Disneyland.
And so on the way back we were like,Well, let's drink our way home.
It's like a two hour drive, so why don'twe do a little research on what's.
Safer than that? Yeah, nothing.
So, you know, breweriesdon't open till noon,
(10:47):
but we found a brewery inthe area is called Chapman Crafted.
I'd heard of it.I'd never been there before.
And they in the mornings do coffee,
their own craft coffee, and then at noonyou can start ordering beer.
So we got there about 11,had some delicious coffee.
I seen the picture.I looked really gnarly.
It was so good.
I have to admit,the coffee was better than the beer.
(11:08):
Like the beer wasn't wasn't bad.
It wasn't amazing.
It was just, you know,it was good beer solid.
But the coffee was really, really good.
Like, I'd go back for coffeeall the time. That was delicious.
And then we were in the areaand we'd heard of this place called Brew.
Home Brew Home Brewing a brew homesomething.
Well, that's. A fun name.
I like that a lot, right? It's a fun name.So we looked it up.
(11:28):
We found it.
Amazing location.
Like the building is super cool.
Great place to hang out. Huge spot.
Somebody was having, like their one yearold's first birthday and they
he took a like at the breweryand just brought
in, like, tons of homemade Chinese food.
I was so jealous, like, hi, can I.
Can I join your partyand have some Chinese food, please?
At one pointthe somebody asked the grandma, like,
(11:49):
where'd you guys get this from?
She's like, I made it like, super.
I was like, Fuck, I want.
So that is super offended.
Yeah, but the beer.
I don't enjoy talking shit aboutbreweries, but the beer was no bueno.
No, man, no.
Like we ordered.
We always like the wifeand I will get a flight, we'll share it.
And then if it's good, you know,we'll move on to either another flight or,
(12:11):
you know,a pint of what we liked or whatever.
None of them none of them are likewe were choking them down and like the guy
was kind of like we walked up and he justkind of us was like, Can we order?
He's like, Yeah, like we do flight.
Yeah, I guess. I was like, Oh, so.
That's what he said.
Yeah, it was real.
Like she, like he was annoyed by usbecause we were the first customers
(12:31):
he'd had in a whileand I guess he had to work.
But as we get to our flight,doesn't tell us like what order it's in.
We had to figure it out,which luckily were nerds.
So I could like smell my way throughthe order and figure out which was which.
Because you got your sister on untapped.
It makes sense. That's right.
It was it honestly, it was so bad.
It got to the point where it just like,let's fucking pound these and bounce.
(12:52):
And we, we just plugged inand and got out of there was
I hope I hope we ordered the sixworst beers they make.
That's all I can say.Yeah that but. And bad service.
So that's like a doublelike double negative, right.
That didn't. Help. Yeah.
Then we redeemed versus we totally.
Redeemed.
And we hit up Radiant Brewing,which we've had them on the show
(13:13):
and we've been there a few times.
And if you're looking for a hazywhich honestly
good hazy and so Cal are not always easyto come by man.
Radiantfucking knows what they're doing with
the haze is it's the former crewover from the brewery.
So, you know, they know what's up therecall schism and just everything
they had a sour that was so goodso we brought back lots of cans.
(13:35):
I pulled a flex, bought a hat.It was. Yes.
Not subsets.
Yeah, it was. Black on black.It's pretty sweet.
That is sweet.
And then finally,
as we got closer to home,we stopped in at Malibu Brewing again and.
Oh, I got. Some good.
And a couple Berliners.
Say gourmet fooddid yourself to death or what?
Honestly, we'd already had lunchand it was unexpected.
(13:56):
So we're like,Well, let's just have some beer.
And so we had a couple.
They had Berliners and they're Berliners.
Berliners are three and a half percent.And, you know, we'd kind of like an old.
Traditional that's pretty red. So. Holy.
She had a coat.Yeah, I had a couple of those.
And then crawler to go and rain.
One of the counters that we talked aboutlast time when we're there was
there was hanging out and talking to usand so good time at Malibu as for huge
(14:17):
but man I tell you nothinglike going to a concert.
It's.
Oh god it's the best live musicjust the atmosphere that yeah
everybody's there for the same reasonbecause they just fucking love the music.
So yeah.
It's like the closest thingto a religious experience.
All, all enjoy.
So when is Aftershock coming up?
Yeah, it's October,I think ninth or whatever.
(14:39):
We have four day passes.
God, I'm like, wow, I know.
I'm just like,oh, we're like, we're working out.
We're trying to make surewe're in good shape.
Yeah, it's like, I want to be there.
Well, not just for that, but it's like,dang, this is a big commitment.
Let's, let's do this.Do that up your liver.
It makes me grimace back in the eighties.
Seriously? We got bean. Bags to go.
(15:02):
Yeah. Are you bringing the kids to this?
Oh, hell, no. Oh, no, no. On kids.
I was like, oh,I in family to watch the kids for this so.
Wow. Yeah.
It's a four day Dr. Money. It's right
my brother and
yes you know Portland's not that faris 150 bucks.
(15:22):
All right, people.
But worth it for.
In the frontier. What do you.
Think?
It's.
Yeah,they got the 12 hour flight from Portland.
It's normally 2 hours,but it's. Yeah, it's worth it.
And they.
Bought their.
Ticket,but they have to pay their on baggage
fees, which are double their ticket.
Prices.
(15:43):
They come in at three in the morningand got a Uber to my house.
So I get to actuallyget to the little jetway.
They just stop on the tarmacand I have to walk to the airport.
And they're not actually able to land.
And Floyd, the rescue slideand that's how they get down.
That's a soft. Landing for front you.
Sorry,we keep cutting you off. You're flying.
(16:03):
No, that's fine.
So? So my brother and sister in laware also coming, and.
Yeah, so we're all going to go.
My brother's like six, six.
He's a big dude.
And so it's always fungoing with my brother because people
either always starts off with big dudesor there's girls
that want to like sit on his shouldersbecause he's so tall.
There's always something that goes down.
(16:23):
Yeah, when my brother's around.
So it's always a good time. Is he.
Is he a single gentleman?
No, no.
He's married to my best friendfrom high school, so, like.
Yeah. Well, that's cool.
Well, it was awkward for a while,I'll tell you that.
Awkward? Yeah. Yeah.
All the things girls talk about, all of asudden you're like, I don't want to know.
Let's now this is.
No, but now it's like,so they got kids. So last night.
(16:45):
No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no.
Yeah.It's like we're all hanging out party.
And I'm like, we're robin and go,oh, damn.
So yeah, it was.
Yeah, it was. It was a thing.That's funny.
But we were good friends for yearsbefore that. Yeah, it's all good.
We're going to have a great time.But I'm with you on the concert thing.
It is just it's an experiencethat can be like also exhausting.
So we're like tryingto get ready for this. Like.
(17:06):
Oh, it's super exhausting.
I couldn't imagine four daysor something like that.
That's crazy. We're going to do it.
I'm going to surprise.
You with how much dancing and moshingI do.
I would be dead.
I mean, actually, that.
You would have black eyes.
Yeah. Like you would.
Seriously, you.
Would never get a black guy. I mean.
I would have to, like, make up.
(17:27):
Well, we they went to one show.We got rained on.
It was like the one time in 18 yearsthat's rain in Southern California.
And we got a hotel near the venue.
I'm like, Oh, we'll walk that way.
We can, like get hammered at the concert,not worried about it and so we,
we walked in. It was just drizzling.It's like a block. Yeah.
And I was like, this is fine.
So we're we're kind of like walkingquickly halfway there, it started dumping.
So we're we jog our way to the venueand we get there
(17:50):
and they haveis lined up outside to check IDs.
They wouldn't let us in.
Was it a 21 and over show?
No, but if you want a beer,you had to check your ID outside.
So you get a bracelet.
They wouldn't doit. Inside is like, what the fuck?
So we stood in line and somebodycomplained and this guy was like, Well,
if I got to be out here,you got to be out here.
I was like, Yeah,but you're getting paid to be, right?
(18:10):
Yeah, I paid to be here.
Right. So and then we get in
and they take our ticketand there's this wide open lobby.
I was like, You guys could have fuckingchecked our ideas in here.
This is Jane.
No, I was so pissed.
So we're drenched the entire thing.
No common sense.
And then that.
Yeah. And the beer was shit.
Shit. Selection of beer.
(18:30):
But figures that's the worst.
It is. We, we made up for itthe next day though.
So all of our research, in fact,we brought some cans of we had some Malibu
brewing cans and a couple of green cans.
We brought them down to the littlepre-game, a little post-game at the hotel.
So at least we had good beer there.
So anyways, good times. You're so smart.
Always, always prepared. Always
(18:52):
want to be on.
Yeah, I know.
Just walking with the car goes.I could not pat me down there, please.
Thank you.I don't want to warm up the beer.
My quads are sensitive.
Yeah.
My. It's not quite quad.
Not quite gin.
Somewhere in the middle.
Yeah. Right.
Sensitive side of my kneeis quite sensitive and has a tumor.
(19:14):
Please don't touch.
Not humor.
Those shorts are way too long.
Yeah, that's all I pictured in my mindis how long those shorts are.
Way too long.
There for you.
We got to get you, like,cargo short shorts.
Oh, that's so cute, little Jesus.
Cute, so cute. Little.
(19:35):
Tiny little pockets.
If you. If you could find them,I'll wear them.
But they got to erupt.
The hardest part is finding, like,stretchy shorts.
Like casual stretchy shorts.
Right. Because, like rings.
Yeah, regular shortsdon't fit around my legs.
Those open trunks, that's genetics.
We can. Probably have. Yeah, it is a do.
(19:55):
Is it. Your work.
I don't know.
I don't knowif it's a good problem to have.
It's, I feel like.
We didn't want that problem.
You could work out other areas, right?
Thank skinny legs if you want to.
Skinny legs.
It's like now that I got big legs,it's like, let's I guess, just keep them.
Your name is Flex, isn't it?
It is just flex edge.
(20:16):
On my birth certificate and everything.
Flex. Right, so I'm sexy.
Middle name
meaning no middle name melast name appear on.
Of area, right? Like it was a funny story.
There was we were out one of my friendshad won a beer contest for
to have his recipe made at a local brewery
(20:37):
and it was a caramelcaramel apple pop sour like him.
Are those Carmel apple suckersthat they give out every year
and they just totally fucking nailed that.
This beer was spot on.
Probably the best beer I've had this year.
And I even told told my friend that to
mob craft brewing did it.
And they did such a great job. Wow.
(20:59):
I mean, they have a really brilliantsour program to begin with.
And, you know, being that this was a sour,they just really nailed it.
But somebody left their walletor something at the bar
and the bartender takes itand it's like walking around
saying this person's name, askingif anybody is this person.
And I just look around.I was like, No, I'm flex.
(21:20):
And everybody just
started busting out laughing, you know,is it kind of in the moment thing?
But it just made me laughbecause that's what everybody calls me.
But I don't know. I don't think anybodyactually knows my real name.
Sometimes even local peopleyou hang out with your flex.
Yeah, people call me flex or flex.
Your kids call you Daddy Flex.
(21:41):
Terrified, terrified.
Emergency forms.
Called out for.
Conflicts. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Flex me a field trip.
Maybe I should just legally changemy name.
Yeah. Pull Hulk Hogan.
Change it to Hogan instead of Blair. Yeah.
Let me legally change it.
Like I hope you. Did. I think he did.
(22:03):
Why wouldn't he?
Because I think his kids are all Hogan do.
They are.
So. Yeah. Do it. Come on.
All right, fine. Is there.

Serve beer. I love that.
I'm looking for Mr.

(22:25):
That's first verse in the phone book,even though it doesn't exist anymore. So.
You know, what do they actually do? Exist?
We got one a couple of months agoand I was like, What the fuck?
They still send out Yellow Pages.What a. Waste.
Green JohnsonApparently they do. All right.
It's like the size of, like,a regular magazine now.
It's like, not what it used.
It's not what it used to be.
Just everyone over 80 years old.
(22:47):
Right?
Yeah.
The for the
for people who still have their landlinesand then a bunch of yellow pages.
All right. That's that's funny.

They say the high priest calls upon youto pass judgment on this ale.
(23:52):
Will it be broadsword or the third rebel?
Whatever that is a choral or prayer
from the depths as a buck at an least, hopthe shit out of it.
And the holiest of bones has risen.
We join togetherand bring you the Cascadian Dark IPA.
I appreciate thatthey swore in there untapped.
(24:12):
Can we just stop for a secondand give you a round of applause
for not messing that up? That was.
And that has never happened.
In fact, mic quality right there.Okay. Right.
I feel like I just got backfrom a wren fairs and then you're right.
All right. I'm the schnoz.
I get a lot of that sweetness that you getfrom a buck and then a lot of hop.
Piney Miss, following that up,let me dig in here
(24:35):
with the way less sexy and longershorted tongue jabber.
Bone yard is in Bend.
If I remember correctly,I have family in Bend and
they got some good beer in back.
But Boehner yard.
Yes that was like, oh, okay.
Good job. Okay, that's what I thought.
I was then out here for the last 2minutes, try to figure that out.
(24:56):
That's when Flex goes outside.
He goes into his burner here.
This is a little bit chocolaty,a little bit sweet.
And they nailed it when they saidthey'd top the shit out of it.
It is old school piney resin
the and dank and finishes extra drywhich makes you it take more sips
(25:17):
yeah good yeah this is my firstfrom either these two breweries.
Really.
Boneyard yeah.
Or boner beer bone boner here.
Here.
And I don't know if you guys seethe canned cans. Pretty sweet.
I can't see it.
And I believe that is they chose thethe broadsword is.
Okay from what I would any that means but.
I don't know he's holding the swordand it was in the description.
(25:39):
I don't know stuff nerd stuff.
Nerd style gossip.
The things to devour for ahead of up.
If you guys haven't shopped on TiVobefore, use promo code unfiltered.
Get ten bucks off your first purchase.
All right, so we check in with the homie,see what she was up to.
I can't really curious about this one.
Start taking notes.
Hello.
No one is available to take your call.
(26:01):
Please leave a messageafter the tone aways.
Homies to you. Be here.
Craft beer, republic to your beer.
So check it out, homies. I was some notes
as I listen to the showand I want to talk about some stuff homie.
Let's get this one out of the wayreal quick Busta Rhymes where you are
absolutely capital wrong homie.
(26:22):
Busta Rhymes When he raps every word
that comes out of his mouthis actually a fucking word.
Holmes That is what happens in accurate.
He does not do the minimum number.
He's actually saying words,and I should tell you.
But I mean, rapperkind of like the lyrics.
Yeah.
Let's go to Malibu Beer Company.
(26:43):
You talk about it.
I looked for one of the huge targetsin this country, about five games
this season.
And every game that I go to, I make surethey are playing against the madres.
I don't like the madres matches.
There's one player that I really,really dislike by the name of my shadow.
My voice just started coming backbecause I boo the hell out of him
(27:03):
on Friday, homie.
That's the only player that I will boo
and I make sure he hears me and it's very,
very loud when I boo machado homie
there was a Dodger and he never hustlethese Spike other players.
It's just a dirty, dirty player anyways.
Never buy him this. Talk about some beers.
Dodger Stadium does have a couple craftbeers like L.A.
(27:27):
Works, Santa monica Brewing Company,
and they do have Malibu Beer Companyor whatever.
They have Noble BrewingCompany. Malibu Beer Company.
They do have it.
I think we had a golden paradise,which is a golden ale.
I did order two cans.
There are 12 ounce cans.I don't remember the price.
(27:47):
I didn't get to drink them becausethey didn't have them in stock for me.
So I think the brand has been pulledout of the stadium.
Craft beer,I think is only Sierra Nevada and
L.A. Ale Worksand oh, the Santa monica Beer Company.
And they also do have brew yard homie.
That's the question I have
you ever have brew yourI have you ever been to brew your.
(28:09):
I have.Have you ever been disappointed by them?
I have. I don't
I don't know how they got the beersat Dodger Stadium.
My hat's to them, but their beer isnot really that amazing to be there.
There's a brewery, a stone's throw away,
and they have a beer called baseballthat's dedicated to the Dodgers.
(28:29):
And that brewery is called HighlandPark Brewery.
Why are they not at Dodger Stadium?
The why is that beer not there?
Why is that brewery not their homey?
You know how much fucking beer
I would buy if Highland Park was at DodgerStadium homes?
Enough said.
The sad thing is
by two they Zappa'sand then I started chugging
(28:51):
mango cards because there are 90.2 cans
and they're a little bit cheaperthan 16 ounce cans of IPA by Santa monica.
That cost me 18 bucks.So it is what it is.
It's a situation of drinking toiletwine, beer.
So that's what you got to do.So there you go.
Can we get Highland ParkBrewery adult stage at the stadium?
(29:13):
How how did Brew Yardget into Dodger Stadium?
Why not Highland Park as a merural me this
the other thing is for flex flex
these fucking honeybeesor fruit flies or whatever you call them,
one way to get rid ofthat is wash your damn cans
only the way that you wash your ballsafter you work out.
(29:33):
Rinse out your cansafter a drinking session, homie.
Get rid of the slashat the at the bottom of your cabinet.
You can't get in your glass,rinse it out real quick and pop it in your
wherever you recycle, homie,and you will not have that issue.
So treat your cansthe way you treat your balls.
This is to you beer.
He had to watch you piss out.
She was calling you from now.
(29:54):
One word of wisdom. Wow.
All right,first of all, go listen to this song.
Look at Me Now, featuring Busta Rhymes.
He absolutely murdered.
Right out, out, out, out, out, out.
Yeah, it's a it's a no,no, no, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, yeah. Look, I love Busta.
He does a great job of his management is,but he absolutely does it.
(30:16):
And as far as the Malibu
brewing at Dodger Stadium,I actually talked to Ryan about this.
He says they are the cheapest craft beerat Dodger Stadium.
And so because of that,it flies off the shelves
and they're not able to keep it in stock.
So they haven't beenthey're not out of Dodger Stadium.
They're just doing their bestto keep up with demand.
(30:36):
It's a lager.
It's it's delicious.
And it's the cheapest oneyou can buy at the park.
So people buy it upjust because it's cheap. Wow.
So there's that. Yeah.
And yeah, flex washer balls.
I guess I'll have to. See.
Your cans and your balls.
But for actually I have been rinsing outmy cans ever since then because I
(30:58):
guess I didn't take into considerationthe hot summers
and the hot garagewhere everything just incubates and.
Yeah.
And we're,you know, we're getting through.
There's probablyabout like four fruit flies maybe left
in my housethat I can't fucking get rid of.
Is that for your balls or your cans?
Right.
The jury's out on that one.
(31:19):
I don't know.
We saw the short shorts.
Any fires? Did you? That's true.
No buzz. And you're right.
Yeah, it seemed clean.
Very clean. Kinetic.
Enough about my balls.
I don't know
enough about your balls.
You know, they're doing flex.Greg and I had some stuff.
(31:40):
Yeah.
Let me get my scroll out here.
Notes and notes about your balls.
Like chew with this paper.
Okay? Okay.
First thing. Yeah.
First thing.
Your shorts.
I can see your balls.
Second,
black disguiseslike the green and the gray.
(32:03):
Essentially. Accentuate.
That.
Is 100% accurate.
I am excited. Yes.
All right.
We'll get offwe'll get off the ball subject.
Greg lights up so much when we get there.So it's true.
Have to really enjoyed it.
Sorry, everyone.
Thanks for listening.
(32:24):
You're still. For whatever.
Whatever ego I have is is because of Greg.
And my love for your. Bones.
I. Oh, we should move on now.
What else? We got that.
Well, Heineken UK has finally
taken full ownership of London'sBeavertail guy.
(32:45):
We went from balls to beers of one.
We are an equal opportunity pass.
Greg.
You are not wrong.
All inclusive, very inclusive
has taken full ownership of London'sBeavertown Brewery.
A couple of years ago,
they bought a stake in the brewery,and now they are full owners.
And this, if you guys remember,I think it's been a couple of years,
(33:08):
but they had a I think pre-COVID, they hada festival planned out, Beavertown did.
And once they got partially bought outby Heineken, everyone dropped out
because Heineken is a shitty slavewage company.
Oh, really? I did not know that. Yeah.
Yeah.
Like,they they go to countries where, like,
there's no labor laws and brew their beerthere and stuff.
So jeez,that's it's almost as gross as their beer.
(33:30):
Yeah.
So remember thatnext time you're drinking a beavertown or
or a Leonidas, or just a plain, oldfashioned, disgusting heinie.
Yeah. Yeah.
According to Drizly over Labor Dayweekend, light lagers and American lagers
gained a huge share on their appand seltzers went down.
(33:50):
Interesting. Yes.
Yay for real beer.
Yay for lager.
And at that they were so light.
Still a lager, right?
They went up because it was frickin hot.
I mean, it was like a ten degreeson the entire planet.
So it's not like they're saying IPAsor Stouts or whatever.
It was like no lagers over Seltzersbecause.
(34:11):
Right.
It was hot.It was it was speaking of balls.
It was balls out. It was ridiculous.
I can't wait to see who enjoys this one.
Dunkin Donuts
doing their annual release with HarpoonBrewing of their pumpkin beer.
And this yearthey're making it a multipack
with coffee roll, hazelnut and cold brew.
To. Bring me the pumpkin.
(34:33):
Greg.
I try to. Bring a pumpkin.
Yeah. I don't hate on pumpkin beers.
I, I enjoy me a nice pumpkin beerwith some spice.
You know, I might enjoy a nice pumpkinbeer if I ever found a nice pumpkin maker.
That Buffalo Bill's oatmealstout dark pumpkin.
I need to get some. I will get it to you.
Is it widely distributed that.
(34:54):
Can I find it at a total wine or demo?
You probably can.And that's where I found it.
That's where I have, like,a total whiner about Moe.
And it's an oven, tin cans and aluminum.
You don't like that.And there's probably no chance.
That lake or lakefrontbrewing here does a pumpkin lager.
And it is fucking phenomenal.
Look, if you guys say it's good,I will look for it.
And if I find it, I will have itand give a fair assessment on the show.
(35:18):
I will not pretend to dislike itif I actually like.
Okay, do you like pump?Do you not like pumpkin at all?
Or it's like the beer and pumpkin combo.
Beer and pumpkin.
I love pumpkin pie. Like the pie.
Okay. In solid form.
But I hate when they attemptto make their beer taste like pumpkin pie.
Would you drink a pumpkin spice latte?
I've had one. It's whatever. Okay?
(35:39):
I don't care. I don't like them.
I don't hate them as much as,like, a beer.
But honestly, just too sweet for me.
That was the biggest. Problem that.
Dogfish Headis going to close their Miami taproom,
citing the increase in rent as the reasonit's going to Spenser down there.
How many taprooms do they have?
(36:00):
Three or four.
Okay.I think it's going to be two or three.
Oh oh. Seven.
Yeah. Get a report from Vanessa.Let's see.
Doesn't say sorry, Vanessa.Yeah, we're missing out.
I went as a I. Vanessa.
Hey. So bad news for her.
Maybe I wasn't in on this one.
The best breweries near every NFL stadium.
(36:22):
And don't worry,I am not going to read every.
Now, do we maybe pick a few? Okay.
Erica, who's your team?
Do you have a football team?
Well, it's definitely not the Raiders.
If you remember that episodeand those fans are assholes, but
and probably the Niners, I mean, perfect.
Well, that's a twoferbecause that's my favorite.
(36:44):
Okay.
So 40 Niners and of course, Levi'sStadium, not anywhere near San Francisco.
Okay.
They say touchdown is a category.
So good bear bottlebrewing company in Santa Clara

sea brewing company at their Pacificaor Santa Cruz Taprooms.
(37:05):
Okay, this is really good.
Yeah.
That humble sea for sureand not had beer bottle brewing.

I love PAC and fudge.
Yeah so sweet. And listen,

And then first down Interline Brewing.
We did go to Hinterlandlast year for my birthday, actually.
We went up to Green Bay.
We toured the stadium and then for dinnercruise over to Hinterland Nice.
And then because Eric is such a big fan,if you're in Vegas seeing the Raiders
(37:48):
touchdownNeon Desert brewing and first down
Abel BakerBrewing Company never had either of them.
Okay, anybody else?
Anybody want to knowabout any of their teams? Okay.

And then first down is.
Oh, God, here's a name done a year.

(38:32):
Okay. News to me.
Mm Yeah. It sounds boozy.
Does that kind of sounds likethey might have some good sours, though?
Just by the name. Yeah.
So anyways, and then I figuredI'd do this one just because it's
from where I'm at the ram slash chargersbecause they, they share a stadium.
Three WeaversBrewing is a touch down. Great brewery.
There's three weavers. Yeah.
And then first down CumminsSpace Brewery in El Segundo.

Was that like a like it like a pun?
(01:08):
Is that. Yeah.
Well, I would say, likeI thought about it and planned it out,
but I was like,I'm just going to say this now.
And luckily it wasn't offensive.
I don't think so half the time.
No, I.
Took zero offense.
I was just like, wow,this was pretty good for Greg.
Yeah. Greg, I. Had to sit. I feel.

Erica, what the fuck is.
The salmon of. Capistrano?
That's from Dumb and Dumber Friends.
It's kind of going onwith my beard tonight.
You know, I'm flocking to CBRlike the salmon of Capistrano.
(01:49):
All right.
You remember. The show?I don't remember the movie.
Anyone except for the women. Dumb Dumber.
Yes, I remember.
I remember it.I haven't seen it in, like, 25 years.
What are you talking about?Going to Aspen, right?
That's been where the women flock,like the salmon of Capistrano.
Anyways, I. Don't remember that.
I'm so glad I could schoolyou guys on a movie for once.
Right now.
(02:09):
You got.You got to cut this entire part out
because we're just going to show,you know.
Now we're no. Better than you guys.
Now crank it out.
Which is funny
because I love the whole Aspen thingand that guy, that part of the movie
makes me crack up. I cannot believe I.
Well, the whole movie.
You know, does the job.
It's you can't stop laughingthe entire movie.
(02:30):
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I love it.
Yeah.
When I was young and it first came outlike I thought Aspen was in California.
When I first watch it,he was like, Oh, California.
I was like, Oh,I think there's one in Colorado.
Do I?
Yeah.
You know, and I'm done all in some way.
(02:51):
Yeah. Yeah, that's all right.
You should do it like a remake.
We're flexing rig travel the countryin a sheepdog van or something.
That would be.
That would be a no.
That's what we'll we'll do our tourthrough in Finland.
Yeah.
We need a sheepdog plane to hit Europe.
That is. Is it
so good.
Anyways follow us on the socialscraft beer republic selects
(03:14):
me a beer underscore is in between and NECNosh LLC underscores
in between each word there and eightdivided by three beer
if you want to call us speaking of cornwe got a voicemail from the homie.
Chew your beer He'sgot a bone to pick with a couple of us.
Can't wait to hear that one.
Oh, he's never angry, so that's good. Wow.
(03:35):
I have some research to talk about,
some booze, news to get to,and so much more.
I think we should kick off the hydrationwith what the salmon of Capistrano is.
Drinking over there.
Oh, I.
(04:06):
Hey, friends.
So tonight
I'm drunk and numb and numberby Fall River Brewing.
It is a double hazy IPA.
I'm already feeling this babyand it says Best Enjoyed Outdoors,
which is one reasonI love them because they always say
that on their beersand so is our best outdoors.
(04:27):
Right?
And the camp has that sheepdog vanright on the front there from some here.
That is awesome cannot it's.
Super and you know what
little triviawhat is that bird's name in the movie.
PD? PD, our pets heads are falling off.
So yeah, PD is on the can too.
And so I think, Greg, we really.
(04:50):
Blind bird to you or somebody in the deadbird.
To the. Blanket. To a blanket. Yeah.
And there's so many great linesfrom that movie.
It's so classic and so we reviewed Nam
Nam Juice and you played the sweet clipfrom that TMT Yes.
Yeah.
So this is Nam a numberbecause it's double hazy IPA
and it is a eight, it's 8.2% ABVso I'm feeling it 37 I've used
(05:16):
it is a four
on untapped very respectable in area.Yeah.
So I'm loving that.
So Fall River's in Redding, California,so just north of me about an hour or so.
So here's the details.
Just when you think it couldn'tget possibly any number,
we go and do something like thisand totally redeem ourselves.
(05:38):
Now I'm enamored, double hazy.
IPA is bursting with the sametropical juiciness of num num juice,
which was delicious,
but an even richer vibe that causesbeautiful people to flock instinctively.
Like the salmon of Capistrano.
Even if you've got no food, got no job,your pets, heads are falling off,
you've got numb and number.
So make like you're in Austria,throw another shrimp
(05:59):
on the barbie and crack open another one.
Make Lloyd and Harry proud.
Oh, look, first. So
there.
Is that.
And so this haze,you just got your typical hazy look. It's
it had a really nice foamy head on itand kind of a
maybe pineapple, a little stone fruit.
While you sip.
I will say that I appreciate all of thethe references on the description there.
(06:23):
Some. Random in there.
Maybe that was great.
So when you pour so.
Many more, they're notthere just makes like Mark yeah yeah.
I still want you guys to do thatas an opening but
hops.
Yeah, right. Nailed it.
It was quick.
Beer.
It's got a bit of a stone fruit taste and
(06:44):
some happiness.
A sweet
finish finishes with a little happiness,but not a big burn for a double the 8.2%.
I love it.
It's good.
I'm happy.
Sounds like it totally fits the algorithm.
It fits the algorithm.
This can is really on fire. I love it.
And do you prefer this one or the regularnum num?
I would probably drink the regular numnum a little more frequently
(07:05):
because I mean, when I drink a double,it's fast too.
So able to have a few more ranks.
But if I'm just going to have one orsomething, then this is perfect.
It's really good.
I'm happythat 88.2 is sort of wheelhouse for me.
Is it seems. Like beer for flex.
Yeah.
You are much more seasoned than me.
(07:28):
Yeah.
Have you guys been watching thethe She-Hulk series on Disney+?
Yes, I have.
I've actually been enjoying itvery much so.
Well, in there they describe thatlike when she's hold out, she can drink
way more.
Like her metabolism is super fastand she can't get hammered.
It's usually yeah back like she's normalperson get Tamara flexes the fucking.
Holsterhe hot yeah he's. So really. Good he
(07:50):
the hulk he can drink.
Without getting drunk.
My gosh I just had an epiphanythat explains the short shorts.
Because Hulk's shorts are really short.
Yeah, because when he.
Oh this is. Rips through them. Yeah.
They're green short shorts.
That'swhy this never crossed my mind before.
Well.
So now I got to talk.
Now I got to get my purple shorts,you know?
Yeah, right.
(08:12):
Oh. There you go.
Halloween costume, 2020. Two.
I was actually thinkingMacho Man this year, but.
Oh, yeah. So not sentenced on.
If you do.
Will you please walk aroundwith boxes of Slim Jims?
Yeah, I could probably do that.
I get them at work.
I can give you Slim Jim pretzel necklace.
Yes, that sounds amazing.
(08:34):
Amazing.
That'd be so.
Who the fuck doesn'twant to snap into a Slim Jim? No.
Yeah, everyone. Does.
Anybody who cares about their healthdoesn't want it.
But that being said,that sounds delicious.
We love you, Slim Jim.
Don't like sue us or something anyhow.
All right, well, that's the.
It's probably the most publicitythey've gotten in years.
(08:56):
Right? Probably accurate.
Somebody mentioned us. Right?
They're very shallow. They're long.
That's true.
Let's talk about Slim Jimsand Circuit City.
Very relevant product.
Most either have been made in a decade.
Fantastic.
All right. What's going on, you guys?
I went to my first actual concertsince COVID.
(09:20):
Ale was in.
Oh, and I did not get a black eye.
I miss it.
I mean, that is not.
Not the full effect of a concert.
You got to get the black guy. Inthere clearly. Done it wrong.
You were not serving enough.
Yeah, I was.
I, I did not ask for the full flextreatment when I walked into the door.
So anyway, we went saw Andrew McMahon.
(09:42):
For those who don't know,
he was the front manfor something corporate back in the day.
And then Jack's mannequinand now just Andrew McMahon on his own.
But it was his 40th birthday,so he did sets with something
corporate, brought him outthat is set with Jack's mannequin crew,
which is likehalf his current crew anyways.
And then did like the Andrew McMahon setis actually really awesome show.
(10:04):
Yeah, it sounds really good.
So I know a lot of the old school emopeople know who something corporate is.
So even for those of you who do knowhe did Constantine and it took like
18 minutes to get through.
So that was good timesall the guys came out for that one.
Everyone's like, who?
You know, it's a reallyit's like his stairway to heaven.
It just never ends.
I mean, he never does it at concertsbecause it takes up the time of,
(10:27):
like, three songs.
He doesn't want to,you know, take a little time anyway.
So so that was fun is down in OrangeCounty in Anaheim near Disneyland.
And so on the way back we were like,Well, let's drink our way home.
It's like a two hour drive, so why don'twe do a little research on what's.
Safer than that? Yeah, nothing.
So, you know, breweriesdon't open till noon,
(10:47):
but we found a brewery inthe area is called Chapman Crafted.
I'd heard of it.I'd never been there before.
And they in the mornings do coffee,
their own craft coffee, and then at noonyou can start ordering beer.
So we got there about 11,had some delicious coffee.
I seen the picture.I looked really gnarly.
It was so good.
I have to admit,the coffee was better than the beer.
(11:08):
Like the beer wasn't wasn't bad.
It wasn't amazing.
It was just, you know,it was good beer solid.
But the coffee was really, really good.
Like, I'd go back for coffeeall the time. That was delicious.
And then we were in the areaand we'd heard of this place called Brew.
Home Brew Home Brewing a brew homesomething.
Well, that's. A fun name.
I like that a lot, right? It's a fun name.So we looked it up.
(11:28):
We found it.
Amazing location.
Like the building is super cool.
Great place to hang out. Huge spot.
Somebody was having, like their one yearold's first birthday and they
he took a like at the breweryand just brought
in, like, tons of homemade Chinese food.
I was so jealous, like, hi, can I.
Can I join your partyand have some Chinese food, please?
At one pointthe somebody asked the grandma, like,
(11:49):
where'd you guys get this from?
She's like, I made it like, super.
I was like, Fuck, I want.
So that is super offended.
Yeah, but the beer.
I don't enjoy talking shit aboutbreweries, but the beer was no bueno.
No, man, no.
Like we ordered.
We always like the wifeand I will get a flight, we'll share it.
And then if it's good, you know,we'll move on to either another flight or,
(12:11):
you know,a pint of what we liked or whatever.
None of them none of them are likewe were choking them down and like the guy
was kind of like we walked up and he justkind of us was like, Can we order?
He's like, Yeah, like we do flight.
Yeah, I guess. I was like, Oh, so.
That's what he said.
Yeah, it was real.
Like she, like he was annoyed by usbecause we were the first customers
(12:31):
he'd had in a whileand I guess he had to work.
But as we get to our flight,doesn't tell us like what order it's in.
We had to figure it out,which luckily were nerds.
So I could like smell my way throughthe order and figure out which was which.
Because you got your sister on untapped.
It makes sense. That's right.
It was it honestly, it was so bad.
It got to the point where it just like,let's fucking pound these and bounce.
(12:52):
And we, we just plugged inand and got out of there was
I hope I hope we ordered the sixworst beers they make.
That's all I can say.Yeah that but. And bad service.
So that's like a doublelike double negative, right.
That didn't. Help. Yeah.
Then we redeemed versus we totally.
Redeemed.
And we hit up Radiant Brewing,which we've had them on the show
(13:13):
and we've been there a few times.
And if you're looking for a hazywhich honestly
good hazy and so Cal are not always easyto come by man.
Radiantfucking knows what they're doing with
the haze is it's the former crewover from the brewery.
So, you know, they know what's up therecall schism and just everything
they had a sour that was so goodso we brought back lots of cans.
(13:35):
I pulled a flex, bought a hat.It was. Yes.
Not subsets.
Yeah, it was. Black on black.It's pretty sweet.
That is sweet.
And then finally,
as we got closer to home,we stopped in at Malibu Brewing again and.
Oh, I got. Some good.
And a couple Berliners.
Say gourmet fooddid yourself to death or what?
Honestly, we'd already had lunchand it was unexpected.
(13:56):
So we're like,Well, let's just have some beer.
And so we had a couple.
They had Berliners and they're Berliners.
Berliners are three and a half percent.And, you know, we'd kind of like an old.
Traditional that's pretty red. So. Holy.
She had a coat.Yeah, I had a couple of those.
And then crawler to go and rain.
One of the counters that we talked aboutlast time when we're there was
there was hanging out and talking to usand so good time at Malibu as for huge
(14:17):
but man I tell you nothinglike going to a concert.
It's.
Oh god it's the best live musicjust the atmosphere that yeah
everybody's there for the same reasonbecause they just fucking love the music.
So yeah.
It's like the closest thingto a religious experience.
All, all enjoy.
So when is Aftershock coming up?
Yeah, it's October,I think ninth or whatever.
(14:39):
We have four day passes.
God, I'm like, wow, I know.
I'm just like,oh, we're like, we're working out.
We're trying to make surewe're in good shape.
Yeah, it's like, I want to be there.
Well, not just for that, but it's like,dang, this is a big commitment.
Let's, let's do this.Do that up your liver.
It makes me grimace back in the eighties.
Seriously? We got bean. Bags to go.
(15:02):
Yeah. Are you bringing the kids to this?
Oh, hell, no. Oh, no, no. On kids.
I was like, oh,I in family to watch the kids for this so.
Wow. Yeah.
It's a four day Dr. Money. It's right
my brother and
yes you know Portland's not that faris 150 bucks.
(15:22):
All right, people.
But worth it for.
In the frontier. What do you.
Think?
It's.
Yeah,they got the 12 hour flight from Portland.
It's normally 2 hours,but it's. Yeah, it's worth it.
And they.
Bought their.
Ticket,but they have to pay their on baggage
fees, which are double their ticket.
Prices.
(15:43):
They come in at three in the morningand got a Uber to my house.
So I get to actuallyget to the little jetway.
They just stop on the tarmacand I have to walk to the airport.
And they're not actually able to land.
And Floyd, the rescue slideand that's how they get down.
That's a soft. Landing for front you.
Sorry,we keep cutting you off. You're flying.
(16:03):
No, that's fine.
So? So my brother and sister in laware also coming, and.
Yeah, so we're all going to go.
My brother's like six, six.
He's a big dude.
And so it's always fungoing with my brother because people
either always starts off with big dudesor there's girls
that want to like sit on his shouldersbecause he's so tall.
There's always something that goes down.
(16:23):
Yeah, when my brother's around.
So it's always a good time. Is he.
Is he a single gentleman?
No, no.
He's married to my best friendfrom high school, so, like.
Yeah. Well, that's cool.
Well, it was awkward for a while,I'll tell you that.
Awkward? Yeah. Yeah.
All the things girls talk about, all of asudden you're like, I don't want to know.
Let's now this is.
No, but now it's like,so they got kids. So last night.
(16:45):
No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no.
Yeah.It's like we're all hanging out party.
And I'm like, we're robin and go,oh, damn.
So yeah, it was.
Yeah, it was. It was a thing.That's funny.
But we were good friends for yearsbefore that. Yeah, it's all good.
We're going to have a great time.But I'm with you on the concert thing.
It is just it's an experiencethat can be like also exhausting.
So we're like tryingto get ready for this. Like.
(17:06):
Oh, it's super exhausting.
I couldn't imagine four daysor something like that.
That's crazy. We're going to do it.
I'm going to surprise.
You with how much dancing and moshingI do.
I would be dead.
I mean, actually, that.
You would have black eyes.
Yeah. Like you would.
Seriously, you.
Would never get a black guy. I mean.
I would have to, like, make up.
(17:27):
Well, we they went to one show.We got rained on.
It was like the one time in 18 yearsthat's rain in Southern California.
And we got a hotel near the venue.
I'm like, Oh, we'll walk that way.
We can, like get hammered at the concert,not worried about it and so we,
we walked in. It was just drizzling.It's like a block. Yeah.
And I was like, this is fine.
So we're we're kind of like walkingquickly halfway there, it started dumping.
So we're we jog our way to the venueand we get there
(17:50):
and they haveis lined up outside to check IDs.
They wouldn't let us in.
Was it a 21 and over show?
No, but if you want a beer,you had to check your ID outside.
So you get a bracelet.
They wouldn't doit. Inside is like, what the fuck?
So we stood in line and somebodycomplained and this guy was like, Well,
if I got to be out here,you got to be out here.
I was like, Yeah,but you're getting paid to be, right?
(18:10):
Yeah, I paid to be here.
Right. So and then we get in
and they take our ticketand there's this wide open lobby.
I was like, You guys could have fuckingchecked our ideas in here.
This is Jane.
No, I was so pissed.
So we're drenched the entire thing.
No common sense.
And then that.
Yeah. And the beer was shit.
Shit. Selection of beer.
(18:30):
But figures that's the worst.
It is. We, we made up for itthe next day though.
So all of our research, in fact,we brought some cans of we had some Malibu
brewing cans and a couple of green cans.
We brought them down to the littlepre-game, a little post-game at the hotel.
So at least we had good beer there.
So anyways, good times. You're so smart.
Always, always prepared. Always
(18:52):
want to be on.
Yeah, I know.
Just walking with the car goes.I could not pat me down there, please.
Thank you.I don't want to warm up the beer.
My quads are sensitive.
Yeah.
My. It's not quite quad.
Not quite gin.
Somewhere in the middle.
Yeah. Right.
Sensitive side of my kneeis quite sensitive and has a tumor.
(19:14):
Please don't touch.
Not humor.
Those shorts are way too long.
Yeah, that's all I pictured in my mindis how long those shorts are.
Way too long.
There for you.
We got to get you, like,cargo short shorts.
Oh, that's so cute, little Jesus.
Cute, so cute. Little.
(19:35):
Tiny little pockets.
If you. If you could find them,I'll wear them.
But they got to erupt.
The hardest part is finding, like,stretchy shorts.
Like casual stretchy shorts.
Right. Because, like rings.
Yeah, regular shortsdon't fit around my legs.
Those open trunks, that's genetics.
We can. Probably have. Yeah, it is a do.
(19:55):
Is it. Your work.
I don't know.
I don't knowif it's a good problem to have.
It's, I feel like.
We didn't want that problem.
You could work out other areas, right?
Thank skinny legs if you want to.
Skinny legs.
It's like now that I got big legs,it's like, let's I guess, just keep them.
Your name is Flex, isn't it?
It is just flex edge.
(20:16):
On my birth certificate and everything.
Flex. Right, so I'm sexy.
Middle name
meaning no middle name melast name appear on.
Of area, right? Like it was a funny story.
There was we were out one of my friendshad won a beer contest for
to have his recipe made at a local brewery
(20:37):
and it was a caramelcaramel apple pop sour like him.
Are those Carmel apple suckersthat they give out every year
and they just totally fucking nailed that.
This beer was spot on.
Probably the best beer I've had this year.
And I even told told my friend that to
mob craft brewing did it.
And they did such a great job. Wow.
(20:59):
I mean, they have a really brilliantsour program to begin with.
And, you know, being that this was a sour,they just really nailed it.
But somebody left their walletor something at the bar
and the bartender takes itand it's like walking around
saying this person's name, askingif anybody is this person.
And I just look around.I was like, No, I'm flex.
(21:20):
And everybody just
started busting out laughing, you know,is it kind of in the moment thing?
But it just made me laughbecause that's what everybody calls me.
But I don't know. I don't think anybodyactually knows my real name.
Sometimes even local peopleyou hang out with your flex.
Yeah, people call me flex or flex.
Your kids call you Daddy Flex.
(21:41):
Terrified, terrified.
Emergency forms.
Called out for.
Conflicts. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Flex me a field trip.
Maybe I should just legally changemy name.
Yeah. Pull Hulk Hogan.
Change it to Hogan instead of Blair. Yeah.
Let me legally change it.
Like I hope you. Did. I think he did.
(22:03):
Why wouldn't he?
Because I think his kids are all Hogan do.
They are.
So. Yeah. Do it. Come on.
All right, fine. Is there.
A beer?
Serve beer. I love that.
I'm looking for Mr.
A beer is.
Flex. Me a beer here.
And alphabetically.
You're golden, right?You want your last name?
Start with the name. You're good.Oh, it's true.
(22:25):
That's first verse in the phone book,even though it doesn't exist anymore. So.
You know, what do they actually do? Exist?
We got one a couple of months agoand I was like, What the fuck?
They still send out Yellow Pages.What a. Waste.
Green JohnsonApparently they do. All right.
It's like the size of, like,a regular magazine now.
It's like, not what it used.
It's not what it used to be.
Just everyone over 80 years old.
(22:47):
Right?
Yeah.
The for the
for people who still have their landlinesand then a bunch of yellow pages.
All right. That's that's funny.
All right.
Before we hear from the homieto your beer, let me make a call
to the pen real quick.
So he calls to the bullpen for beer.
(23:08):
Well, as we ramp up for Spooky
season,people are getting excited for a Halloween
pumpkin. Beer, pumpkin.
Exactly. I am drinking this pumped.
No, fuck, no, I'm drinking.
Compliments of Tabor,Holy Mountain and Boneyard Beer's
collaboration called Holy Bones.
(23:30):
Cascadian Dark IPA.
It is, of course, 6.66% has 66 Abbey
use and a 3.98 an untapped.
Oh they couldn't make it a 6.66.
That's likeI know it's a lot of sixes in there.
I now I just needed one more.
They say the high priest calls upon youto pass judgment on this ale.
(23:52):
Will it be broadsword or the third rebel?
Whatever that is a choral or prayer
from the depths as a buck at an least, hopthe shit out of it.
And the holiest of bones has risen.
We join togetherand bring you the Cascadian Dark IPA.
I appreciate thatthey swore in there untapped.
(24:12):
Can we just stop for a secondand give you a round of applause
for not messing that up? That was.
And that has never happened.
In fact, mic quality right there.Okay. Right.
I feel like I just got backfrom a wren fairs and then you're right.
All right. I'm the schnoz.
I get a lot of that sweetness that you getfrom a buck and then a lot of hop.
Piney Miss, following that up,let me dig in here
(24:35):
with the way less sexy and longershorted tongue jabber.
Bone yard is in Bend.
If I remember correctly,I have family in Bend and
they got some good beer in back.
But Boehner yard.
Yes that was like, oh, okay.
Good job. Okay, that's what I thought.
I was then out here for the last 2minutes, try to figure that out.
(24:56):
That's when Flex goes outside.
He goes into his burner here.
This is a little bit chocolaty,a little bit sweet.
And they nailed it when they saidthey'd top the shit out of it.
It is old school piney resin
the and dank and finishes extra drywhich makes you it take more sips
(25:17):
yeah good yeah this is my firstfrom either these two breweries.
Really.
Boneyard yeah.
Or boner beer bone boner here.
Here.
And I don't know if you guys seethe canned cans. Pretty sweet.
I can't see it.
And I believe that is they chose thethe broadsword is.
Okay from what I would any that means but.
I don't know he's holding the swordand it was in the description.
(25:39):
I don't know stuff nerd stuff.
Nerd style gossip.
The things to devour for ahead of up.
If you guys haven't shopped on TiVobefore, use promo code unfiltered.
Get ten bucks off your first purchase.
All right, so we check in with the homie,see what she was up to.
I can't really curious about this one.
Start taking notes.
Hello.
No one is available to take your call.
(26:01):
Please leave a messageafter the tone aways.
Homies to you. Be here.
Craft beer, republic to your beer.
So check it out, homies. I was some notes
as I listen to the showand I want to talk about some stuff homie.
Let's get this one out of the wayreal quick Busta Rhymes where you are
absolutely capital wrong homie.
(26:22):
Busta Rhymes When he raps every word
that comes out of his mouthis actually a fucking word.
Holmes That is what happens in accurate.
He does not do the minimum number.
He's actually saying words,and I should tell you.
But I mean, rapperkind of like the lyrics.
Yeah.
Let's go to Malibu Beer Company.
(26:43):
You talk about it.
I looked for one of the huge targetsin this country, about five games
this season.
And every game that I go to, I make surethey are playing against the madres.
I don't like the madres matches.
There's one player that I really,really dislike by the name of my shadow.
My voice just started coming backbecause I boo the hell out of him
(27:03):
on Friday, homie.
That's the only player that I will boo
and I make sure he hears me and it's very,
very loud when I boo machado homie
there was a Dodger and he never hustlethese Spike other players.
It's just a dirty, dirty player anyways.
Never buy him this. Talk about some beers.
Dodger Stadium does have a couple craftbeers like L.A.
(27:27):
Works, Santa monica Brewing Company,
and they do have Malibu Beer Companyor whatever.
They have Noble BrewingCompany. Malibu Beer Company.
They do have it.
I think we had a golden paradise,which is a golden ale.
I did order two cans.
There are 12 ounce cans.I don't remember the price.
(27:47):
I didn't get to drink them becausethey didn't have them in stock for me.
So I think the brand has been pulledout of the stadium.
Craft beer,I think is only Sierra Nevada and
L.A. Ale Worksand oh, the Santa monica Beer Company.
And they also do have brew yard homie.
That's the question I have
you ever have brew yourI have you ever been to brew your.
(28:09):
I have.Have you ever been disappointed by them?
I have. I don't
I don't know how they got the beersat Dodger Stadium.
My hat's to them, but their beer isnot really that amazing to be there.
There's a brewery, a stone's throw away,
and they have a beer called baseballthat's dedicated to the Dodgers.
(28:29):
And that brewery is called HighlandPark Brewery.
Why are they not at Dodger Stadium?
The why is that beer not there?
Why is that brewery not their homey?
You know how much fucking beer
I would buy if Highland Park was at DodgerStadium homes?
Enough said.
The sad thing is
by two they Zappa'sand then I started chugging
(28:51):
mango cards because there are 90.2 cans
and they're a little bit cheaperthan 16 ounce cans of IPA by Santa monica.
That cost me 18 bucks.So it is what it is.
It's a situation of drinking toiletwine, beer.
So that's what you got to do.So there you go.
Can we get Highland ParkBrewery adult stage at the stadium?
(29:13):
How how did Brew Yardget into Dodger Stadium?
Why not Highland Park as a merural me this
the other thing is for flex flex
these fucking honeybeesor fruit flies or whatever you call them,
one way to get rid ofthat is wash your damn cans
only the way that you wash your ballsafter you work out.
(29:33):
Rinse out your cansafter a drinking session, homie.
Get rid of the slashat the at the bottom of your cabinet.
You can't get in your glass,rinse it out real quick and pop it in your
wherever you recycle, homie,and you will not have that issue.
So treat your cansthe way you treat your balls.
This is to you beer.
He had to watch you piss out.
She was calling you from now.
(29:54):
One word of wisdom. Wow.
All right,first of all, go listen to this song.
Look at Me Now, featuring Busta Rhymes.
He absolutely murdered.
Right out, out, out, out, out, out.
Yeah, it's a it's a no,no, no, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, yeah. Look, I love Busta.
He does a great job of his management is,but he absolutely does it.
(30:16):
And as far as the Malibu
brewing at Dodger Stadium,I actually talked to Ryan about this.
He says they are the cheapest craft beerat Dodger Stadium.
And so because of that,it flies off the shelves
and they're not able to keep it in stock.
So they haven't beenthey're not out of Dodger Stadium.
They're just doing their bestto keep up with demand.
(30:36):
It's a lager.
It's it's delicious.
And it's the cheapest oneyou can buy at the park.
So people buy it upjust because it's cheap. Wow.
So there's that. Yeah.
And yeah, flex washer balls.
I guess I'll have to. See.
Your cans and your balls.
But for actually I have been rinsing outmy cans ever since then because I
(30:58):
guess I didn't take into considerationthe hot summers
and the hot garagewhere everything just incubates and.
Yeah.
And we're,you know, we're getting through.
There's probablyabout like four fruit flies maybe left
in my housethat I can't fucking get rid of.
Is that for your balls or your cans?
Right.
The jury's out on that one.
(31:19):
I don't know.
We saw the short shorts.
Any fires? Did you? That's true.
No buzz. And you're right.
Yeah, it seemed clean.
Very clean. Kinetic.
Enough about my balls.
I don't know
enough about your balls.
You know, they're doing flex.Greg and I had some stuff.
(31:40):
Yeah.
Let me get my scroll out here.
Notes and notes about your balls.
Like chew with this paper.
Okay? Okay.
First thing. Yeah.
First thing.
Your shorts.
I can see your balls.
Second,
black disguiseslike the green and the gray.
(32:03):
Essentially. Accentuate.
That.
Is 100% accurate.
I am excited. Yes.
All right.
We'll get offwe'll get off the ball subject.
Greg lights up so much when we get there.So it's true.
Have to really enjoyed it.
Sorry, everyone.
Thanks for listening.
(32:24):
You're still. For whatever.
Whatever ego I have is is because of Greg.
And my love for your. Bones.
I. Oh, we should move on now.
What else? We got that.
Well, Heineken UK has finally
taken full ownership of London'sBeavertail guy.
(32:45):
We went from balls to beers of one.
We are an equal opportunity pass.
Greg.
You are not wrong.
All inclusive, very inclusive
has taken full ownership of London'sBeavertown Brewery.
A couple of years ago,
they bought a stake in the brewery,and now they are full owners.
And this, if you guys remember,I think it's been a couple of years,
(33:08):
but they had a I think pre-COVID, they hada festival planned out, Beavertown did.
And once they got partially bought outby Heineken, everyone dropped out
because Heineken is a shitty slavewage company.
Oh, really? I did not know that. Yeah.
Yeah.
Like,they they go to countries where, like,
there's no labor laws and brew their beerthere and stuff.
So jeez,that's it's almost as gross as their beer.
(33:30):
Yeah.
So remember thatnext time you're drinking a beavertown or
or a Leonidas, or just a plain, oldfashioned, disgusting heinie.
Yeah. Yeah.
According to Drizly over Labor Dayweekend, light lagers and American lagers
gained a huge share on their appand seltzers went down.
(33:50):
Interesting. Yes.
Yay for real beer.
Yay for lager.
And at that they were so light.
Still a lager, right?
They went up because it was frickin hot.
I mean, it was like a ten degreeson the entire planet.
So it's not like they're saying IPAsor Stouts or whatever.
It was like no lagers over Seltzersbecause.
(34:11):
Right.
It was hot.It was it was speaking of balls.
It was balls out. It was ridiculous.
I can't wait to see who enjoys this one.
Dunkin Donuts
doing their annual release with HarpoonBrewing of their pumpkin beer.
And this yearthey're making it a multipack
with coffee roll, hazelnut and cold brew.
To. Bring me the pumpkin.
(34:33):
Greg.
I try to. Bring a pumpkin.
Yeah. I don't hate on pumpkin beers.
I, I enjoy me a nice pumpkin beerwith some spice.
You know, I might enjoy a nice pumpkinbeer if I ever found a nice pumpkin maker.
That Buffalo Bill's oatmealstout dark pumpkin.
I need to get some. I will get it to you.
Is it widely distributed that.
(34:54):
Can I find it at a total wine or demo?
You probably can.And that's where I found it.
That's where I have, like,a total whiner about Moe.
And it's an oven, tin cans and aluminum.
You don't like that.And there's probably no chance.
That lake or lakefrontbrewing here does a pumpkin lager.
And it is fucking phenomenal.
Look, if you guys say it's good,I will look for it.
And if I find it, I will have itand give a fair assessment on the show.
(35:18):
I will not pretend to dislike itif I actually like.
Okay, do you like pump?Do you not like pumpkin at all?
Or it's like the beer and pumpkin combo.
Beer and pumpkin.
I love pumpkin pie. Like the pie.
Okay. In solid form.
But I hate when they attemptto make their beer taste like pumpkin pie.
Would you drink a pumpkin spice latte?
I've had one. It's whatever. Okay?
(35:39):
I don't care. I don't like them.
I don't hate them as much as,like, a beer.
But honestly, just too sweet for me.
That was the biggest. Problem that.
Dogfish Headis going to close their Miami taproom,
citing the increase in rent as the reasonit's going to Spenser down there.
How many taprooms do they have?
(36:00):
Three or four.
Okay.I think it's going to be two or three.
Oh oh. Seven.
Yeah. Get a report from Vanessa.Let's see.
Doesn't say sorry, Vanessa.Yeah, we're missing out.
I went as a I. Vanessa.
Hey. So bad news for her.
Maybe I wasn't in on this one.
The best breweries near every NFL stadium.
(36:22):
And don't worry,I am not going to read every.
Now, do we maybe pick a few? Okay.
Erica, who's your team?
Do you have a football team?
