Welcome in, thirsty friends! We’ve got Flex, Greg, and the one and only Erica back in the mix—and things get juicy real quick. From wild seltzer collabs and trivia smackdowns to birthday shenanigans and beer with literal Swedish Fish in it, this episode covers all the essentials: beer, banter, and questionable karaoke decisions. Also, turns out Greg and Flex are both pretty passionate about Taylor Swift, and Erica may or may not have danced sober at a silent disco. Don’t judge—just pour yourself something delicious and jump into the good times.
Beers We’re Drinking:
- Greg cracks open Lutefisk from Old Irving Brewing (with Chaos Brew Club) – A kettle-soured Swedish Fish beer.
- Erica sips on West Coast IPA by pFriem Family Brewers – Bright, crisp, and slightly dank.
- Flex dives into Tropics in the Toes from Young Blood Beer Co. – a mango and raspberry sour IPA.
Erica’s back and gearing up for her Beer Babes collab event with a majestic purple peach seltzer (brewed by badass women only, of course). Greg celebrated his birthday by beating the trivia pants off a pizza place team and stealing their gift card like a champ. The gang reflects on past GABF shenanigans, including silent disco disasters, missed lucha libre sightings, and questionable food decisions. Also, we learned Flex has Taylor Swift on shower rotation, Greg hates Oasis, and Erica might have a nose as sensitive as a drug dog. It’s all very on-brand.

Four score.And seven minutes ago we embarked
on a most excellent adventure.I got a pretty good voice, I'm not
gonna lie. That's pretty good.
(00:24):
Welcome in everybody.It's the craft beer republic.
Thanks for drinking.Thanks for joining.
I am Greg and I am being joined bythe biggest Brewers fan I know.
And that is Flex.What's up, big fella? Hey. Yeah.
Go. Brewers.Best team in the league I love it.
I still like that hat.Oh, I wore it just for you.
(00:45):
Actually. That's a good hat.I wish people could see it.
I wore it all day long,but I kept it on for the show
tonight because I know you like it.That's a good looking hat, man.
I'm telling you, we've talked aboutbefore on this very audio podcast,
but it is a good looking at.If anybody wants to see it, I don't
know. Just look up Panama hat.I don't know, whatever it's like.
(01:06):
I don't even know if that's thereal word. Panama.
Look up the Pinocchio hat andyou'll find the whole thing. Yeah.
It's amazing. It's good looking. Go!Brewers swept the Dodgers this year.
Not a baseball show,but that's pretty cool. Anyway.
Don't you have something elsegoing on? We got somebody. New.
Yeah, it's getting real salty upin here because our friend Erica
(01:27):
is hanging out with us.What's happening?
Hey, actually, I'm kind of gladyou brought up the Brewers,
because I met this little kid fromSoCal this weekend that was on the
spectrum and totally into baseball,and he was telling me all these
things, and I said, well, who's thebest team? And he goes, The Brewers.
And I was like, I know someone whomight think that's really awesome.
And he's like,I'm a Dodgers fan. But yeah.
(01:49):
So did you ask him about the worstteam? Um, I did not, actually.
I was trying to say positive.That's my favorite conversation right
now is. Who is the worst. Team?Well, it's the Rockies. The Rockies?
Yeah, but they're not just theworst team this year.
They're the worst team in thehistory of Major League Baseball.
And you went and saw them recently,didn't you?
Because they're the worst teamin history.
And I wanted to witness history.Yeah. And I love that stadium.
(02:12):
It's a great stadium.I think I said it on here, like,
I got tickets behind home platefor $30, so.
Honestly, one of the classierfranchises in all of baseball.
Oh, the Rockies are.Yeah, I feel like like they've
never really had an issue,though. They're always decent.
They're never, like, bad.They're never great.
(02:32):
They gave us Nolan Arenado andthen out of nowhere, they're
just the worst team in baseball.That's why. It's so. Funny.
Like I think they've allowed overlike 700 runs so far this year.
Is it. Really? Yeah.Which is like 100 runs more than
any other team so far.Gosh that's fantastic I love it.
(02:53):
And they have like a -200 rundifferential. It's crazy.
It's absolutely crazy.It's almost like they're trying
to be that bad.It's almost like it's impossible.
Yeah, yeah. It's true.Uh, but hey, alas, not a baseball
show. Not a baseball show. Yeah.So, uh, hey, socials. Follow us all.
(03:15):
@CraftBeerRepublic @flex_me_a_beerunderscore in between, of course.
@Neck_nosh_llc LLC, with someunderscores in between as well.
Uh Erica. How are things?Things are pretty good.
It's been a fun, exciting summer.Kids go back to school this week.
So pretty excited about that.Um. I can co-sign that.
Kids going back to school is awesome.Summer's great.
(03:38):
Yeah, for me,it's still like three more weeks.
Okay, you're that, like,after Labor Day kind of thing.
Yes, yes. But yeah.Got the big Beer Babes release coming
up that I've been gearing up for,I'm super excited about.
So, um, collaborating with alocal brewery here.
Tried to get Shannon to come.She almost did. She almost did.
She actually thought about it.So Vanessa's coming.
(04:01):
Rachel or Bruce with Bukowski iscoming here. Um.
It's hoppy, Tiffany's coming,and a few other folks.
It's going to be a big party.I just got my shirt.
I got back from camping.I got my shirt in the mail today.
It's like this. Cool, groovy.Oh, yeah.
That is a cool shirt I do like.It was a limited edition.
So yeah, we're releasing here in acouple weekends, August 23rd from
(04:24):
11 to 2 at Mindscape Fermentations.It's going to be a big party,
so I'm excited about that.If you're in the Sacramento area.
Yeah,yeah it's like 30 minutes outside.
It's not 15 minutes I'mrealistic Greg.
It's not quite 40 for it's you knowit's about 30. Everything's 40.
What are. You talking. About.My house is 40.
This is like 30 minutes outsideof Sacramento. And, um.
(04:46):
Yeah,it's it's going to be a lot of fun.
Uh, gonna have six ladies staying atthe house with me, I think. Oh, wow.
Sterling, I've seen that movie.Actually.
Sterling's excited or nervous?No, he's taking the kids out of town.
Oh. So nervous. I've.I've definitely seen that movie.
(05:06):
Pizza delivery. No, no.Uh, yeah, we're gonna have an
after party, but it'll be, um,ladies only. And, um.
Yeah, it should be pretty fun.Sounds like a rad ass time. Yeah.
And what kind of beer are you guysdoing? It's actually a seltzer.
Because they are, um.They do make beer.
(05:28):
They make hard kombucha.They make everything, but they make
some really bomb craft seltzers.So they wanted to kind of launch
something a little different.And so it's a majestic peach and it's
got like a purple pea flower on it.So it's going to be like a
bright purple. That's cool.I can tell you I'm very much
behind this. Yeah.Are you the seltzer train? Yes. Okay.
You know, it's funny how much we did.We talk a little trash about seltzer
(05:49):
seltzers. A few about years back.I'm just. Saying.
So my issue with seltzers was,was the smoothie seltzers. Oh.
Those are still gross.That was always my. Yeah. Bummer.
Because the idea of the seltzersis a low cal. Yeah.
Still get still get a little,you know, whooshed up and then
making it a smoothie seltzer.You're just bringing in all
(06:11):
those carbs, all that sugar,etc., etc.. Totally.
It negates the whole fact thatyou're. Drinking a seltzer.
Trying to drink a seltzer.And we gotta help brew it,
by the way. So that was fun.Gotta do a brew day with, um, them.
And you know, it's not the mostcomplicated process,
as you could imagine, but it wasstill fun and nice. That's awesome.
(06:32):
My big complaint about theseltzers was always, always just
how fruity and sweet they were.I feel like now you can find
some that are are normal.Like a lot of the Topo.
Uh, Topo Chico. Topo Chico are good.They've really calmed down.
They're not quite so. Like.Here's some fruit in your face,
you know? Right?It's not like Hawaiian Punch
with alcohol.Or you get like,
that fake fruit smell to it.Yeah, like the overly fake and.
(06:57):
Yeah, yeah,a lot of those early seltzers,
they hadn't quite figured out theflavor stuff yet. And for sure.
They let me pick the some of theflavors on this.
So they laid it like we had aday where it came in.
They put all these fruit puree thingsin front of me. And so that was fun.
So hopefully that turns out reallynice. But yeah, I agree with you.
Some of those are really funky.I like the high noon's too.
Those are pretty good.Yeah,
(07:18):
I like the peach high Noon's peach.Yeah, I think that's my favorite
high noon flavor.The only one I've ever had was the
watermelon. And it was not good.Yeah, it was pretty trashed.
Like I've come around to not dumpingit, but it's, um, it's trash,
but it's not as bad as the pineapple.The pineapples. It's garbage.
Yeah, I just can't.Is it the Costco one Shannon can't
have or something like that?You know, let's get nerdy. Yeah.
(07:39):
Costco, the Kirkland seltzers. Yeah.She had some weird allergic reaction
to a couple of the flavors they'verecently reformulated them, so we
bought them to see if things changed.And she seems to be okay now.
Okay. It's weird.Super weird,
but good because now I don't have tokeep spending the money on iTunes.
Yeah,you can go through those pretty fast.
(08:00):
Back to being a cheap ass withmy Kirkland cell tees.
So hell yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah.Anywho, but alas,
this is a beer show.It is not a yes. Not necessarily.
I have a feeling we'll get there.We'll get there.
We're working our way in.We respect it. Some of it.
Thank you. Yeah. Yes, exactly.So if you guys don't mind, I'm gonna.
(08:23):
I'm gonna crack this open.I am so thirsty. Okay.
You deserve it. You've had a day.It's been a day. Out of my beer.
Out of my head.Like a hundred degrees here.
I don't know about you guys,but. The 90s here. 76.
(08:45):
It was a high 85 today.That's perfect.
Dew point was 70, though.It was very gross. Okay. Lost me.
There. Uh, today I am drinking.I've never even heard of this
brewery before. Sorry. Brewery.I'm drinking old Irving Brewing Co.
Yeah. In Illinois?Yeah, in Chicago,
according to the can.Uh, it's a collab with Chaos Brew
(09:06):
Club, and it's called lutefisk.A sour fruited ale.
You know, like the Swedish fish.Lutefisk is. So. Gross. Gross.
Oh my gosh, super gross.It's a very Scandinavian. Is it?
Oh yeah.That's the fermented fish thing
right? Yeah, I. Think so, yeah. Yeah.This though is a 6% with a 403
(09:27):
untapped. Okay.Kettle soured ale brewed with
cranberries and Swedish fish candy.It's a collab with James Sai of
the Chaos Brew Club.And I have to admit,
this came from the Tavour.And I bought it for the wife
because she loves the sour brew.The wife. She loves sours.
And so, like,whenever I do some IPA orders,
(09:49):
you know, like, I'll, I'll get somesours for her because I'm nice and I
don't want her to touch my beer.But she hadn't drank this yet,
and that's her loss.So her loss is my gain on the
schnapps. Bring it. The what?On the what? The nose buds.
There we go.I can't pick out the fruit because I
(10:10):
think it's the Swedish fish candy.It smells like clusterfuck fruit and
like, gummies or something. And.And sourness, which I know Flex and
I always talk about sour beers.Have a specific. Smell. The sour.
On yield. Tongue-jobber.Oh, man, that is taught.
(10:33):
Maybe that's where thecranberries come in. I think.
So it is super tart.You do get a little cranberry.
It is kind of sweet,like a Swedish fish.
Uh, luckily, it's not like,overly sweet.
The sour really cuts thesweetness down.
Um, and I apologize if for therest of the show, I'm going.
I'm gonna try my my best not to,because this is taut and acidic
(10:55):
and puckery. It's pretty. Not bad.I don't know that I'd give it
the 403. Um. God.Excuse my voice cracking.
I was yelling earlier.Uh, I'd probably knock this down a
little bit closer, like a three,seven, five or something. Like.
Good. Not amazing.Uh, I'm glad I only have one.
I don't think I'd buy a four pack.Oh, okay. Okay.
(11:15):
Yeah, I'm glad I've tried.I would say maybe a three.
Then, uh, yeah. Buy a four pack.I mean.
It's one of those things that Iappreciate but don't need to drink a
bunch of. Okay, if that makes sense.Like, you know,
the wife would probably be okaywith a four pack. Okay.
I on the other,because it's a good beer, but I just,
I don't I don't need four of these.It's real sour. Oh, in that sense.
(11:36):
Yeah. yeah. So. But but a good beard.Definitely a good beard.
Uh, before I forget,top listening city shout out to
North Hills, California forlistening in last week.
I think that's out near Chew, homie.Chew Your Beer out there so Chew.
Hey Chew.Um, also a shout out to Jan from
our mutual Friend brewing lastweek for for being on the show and
(11:57):
hanging out and all that good stuff.And, uh, if you haven't listened yet,
go back to last week for 72,I believe that was, uh, Jan,
the head brewer over at ourmutual friend, hung out with him
when I was in Denver.And, uh, the story I tell of of
telling friends that were goingto that brewery and them getting
confused is actually when we werewith Erica at Gabf a couple years
(12:17):
ago, I remember telling the group,like, hey, we're gonna go to our
mutual Friend Brewing.And I think it was, uh,
Mcdreamy's sister was like, oh, yourfriend has a brewery. I was. Like.
Yeah, no, no, no, it's calledOur Mutual Friend Brewing.
And so, uh, but yeah,really good beer.
And, uh, he's a cool guy and hada fun conversation.
Got some really nice feedbackfrom a couple listeners.
So so thanks everybody.I like the part they, they collabed
(12:39):
with Fort George, which is likethe biggest brewery in Astoria.
And Fort George is getting out there,especially with their three way IPA.
Um, but we went to high schoolwith those those guys that
started that brewery.Yeah, yeah, they're same age as
myself and my brother.So yeah, that's pretty cool to hear.
They're like, oh yeah, Fort George,like, oh, from my small town.
Yeah. Even from Astoria.I was like, oh, I know someone from.
Astoria. From Greenville.Boonville. So uh, yeah.
(13:05):
Check that out if you haven't.It was a good time.
And definitely check out theirbeer if you're in Denver or if
you see it anywhere.I was really disappointed when,
uh, he was talking about Destro.I was like, when are you coming
out to the West Coast?And he's like, oh,
we pulled out of the West Coast.I was like. Oh, oh. And our mutual.
Friend, unfortunately strong.If if you see Fort George again,
(13:25):
tell him, hey, you guys. Uh.See you Greg. Got it.
I smiled, I, I thought,I thought it was well played.
Yeah. You know, I love that movie.It's quite an adventure.
That is for sure.I never even saw it until I was
an adult.I was very much an adult before.
What wrong with your childhood?Let me get my list out.
(13:49):
Uh, I don't pay you for therapy.You don't want.
To pay somebody by the hour for that,bud. No imagination.
Yeah, they they earn their keep.Uh, and then also just wanted to
to say thanks to everybody for thebirthday wishes and the birthday
hanging outs and all that stuffon the day of my birth,
which was a Tuesday.How was the happy hour? It was. Good.
You never got back to me on thehappy hour because I was drunk.
(14:13):
We went to this place called Plata,which is a Mexican restaurant out
here, and they have a good happyhour, like, they had like $8,
Margie's and, uh, $10 ceviche.And the Margie's were were not
small and so had a couple margs hadsome ceviche, had, uh, you know,
like some guac and some otherapps and that kind of stuff.
And Nicole came out.So did Devin. Brian.
(14:36):
And so did Kevin and Patty,who are, um, you know,
Kevin and Patty do the trivia.They were all friends with now.
And so, uh, did that,and then we went to one of their
trivias that night, the one thatPatty was hosting. And it was great.
It was a location we've neverbeen to.
It was a pizza place, and theydidn't have a ton of teams at night.
It was like five teams total orwhatever.
And we just walked in and we fuckingannihilated and we won and we got the
(15:00):
gift card and then we just walkedout. I was like, we'll probably.
Never be back.We just fucked some other team
out of a gift card. And we'll.Never come and. Use it.
That's amazing.I was just laughing at that.
Could be like the new weekly routine.It's just going to a new trivia spot.
Dude, how. Good would. That. Be?Just owning it.
(15:20):
Yeah, and just like,mic dropping and walking out.
That would be so amazing.And the funny thing is,
the team we beat was the ownerof the place, his team.
But he wasn't there that night,and I he if he wins,
he doesn't take the prizeobviously because he's the owner.
But so they were they thoughtthey had a chance at at taking
the the gift card.And we swooped in and were like, no.
(15:41):
You should, you should like likethe gift card on fire too. Yeah.
You're helping out the you sayit was a brewery or whatever.
You know. It's. A pizza place.We will never be back here or
just raffle it off on Instagram.Oh, that's a good idea.
It's not like we didn't like theplace. We had some food. It was good.
You know, they had a couple ofdecent beers on tap, but, uh.
But, yeah. Fuck you guys.We're gonna win and never come back.
(16:06):
That's amazing, I love it.That was kind of a birthday present
to myself. Just being a dick.But good times. It's your birthday.
Oh. All right. Excellent.That was a lot good. Yeah.
It wasn't that much. Oh, okay.It was. It was a good amount.
That was a medium amount.Yeah, it was in the pocket.
That's perfect. Nailed it.It was perfect timing right there.
(16:28):
Uh. Good. Shit. Uh.All right, well,
before we move on any further,uh, Erica want to want to talk
about some beverages. Yeah, sure.That's not a beverage. Yeah.
Let's make a call. Let's do it.Who calls to the bullpen for beer?
Speaking of baseball. Oh, yeah.Baseball. Damn it.
(16:49):
No, not not not backslide,you guys. Okay. This is.
I'm probably gonna say it wrong fromPfriem family brewers in Portland.
Oh, yeah. Pfriem.They're, like, big time award winners
for all kinds of things, right?I haven't actually ever been to
the brewery in Portland,but of course, you know,
we have family there. We visit.Um, so that was from one of our
(17:10):
last visits.So it's a West Coast IPA, and it's a
nice little 12 ounce package. Right.Because lightweight here loves a
nice little 12 ouncer. And it is.Wait, you're a lightweight. Yeah.
Well, yeah I am. Oh. Yeah. News.News to me. Yeah. Right. Yeah.
Well, I'm just slowly letting thingsout. I've known you guys a few years.
(17:33):
I got to kind of ease into thesethings. So. A little at a time.
Um, so it has had 3000 check inson untapped 3.92.
It is an American IPA, 6.8 ABV,45 IBUs, and I love the short
little description.Citra and strata CG hops, notes of
(17:56):
strawberry, cannabis and tangerine.Bright, crisp and lean body with
an explosion of hops.Notes of cannabis like just
flavoring or.I'm sure cannabis saying it's
like dank. Yes, exactly.And that's what I was thinking,
because it's first of all,if you take a look at it, it's it's
kind of a it's a little cloudy.Like little pale straw. Yeah. Yeah.
(18:18):
It did have a little bit of afoamy head when I first poured it.
It's it's warming up.I do like me a good American IPA
though, Let me tell you. Yeah.And they're good at those really
like kind of just baseline notgetting too crazy with things here.
They're using some OG hops right.And it smells citrusy.
I mean Citra and Strata that'sthat's classic. Exactly.
On the Yapper flapper. It is.It's really balanced.
(18:42):
I, I agree with bright as it'swarming up.
I would say when I first had itit was a little cooler.
It didn't really finish so dank,but it is pretty dank right now.
But it's it's nice.It's it's just right.
Great little balanced IPA. Yeah.That strawberry note in the
description that always gets melike whenever a beer says it's
got like a strawberry or ablueberry flavor to it.
(19:03):
It always gets me extremelycurious and I try really,
really hard to find it.I don't find it so much in the
taste bud, in the aroma.I can kind of pull strawberry.
Okay, some solid nose buds yougot there? Yeah. Top notch.
Not as good as notch nose buds.Top nose flavor. Yeah. Top nose.
knows.Um, actually, do I have a very
(19:25):
sensitive nose, so. Oh, really?I'm the opposite. And it's.
But it's not like it's not verygood at, like,
narrowing in on exactly what it is.It's either like I smell onions
or shit, I. Smell.It's one or the other. Damn.
This IPA smells like horseshit.Normally it's just I'm very
sensitive to bad smells. So, um.Anyways, that's. We are backsliding.
(19:50):
We're focused on beer.Lovely little beer, you guys.
Good. Nice. Yeah.The wife is really good with the
nose part of beer tasting and stuff.Like,
she'll dig her nose in there and go.Oh, yeah,
I got some melon and some strawberryand obviously the pine. It's.
She just pulls out every goddamnflavor with her nose.
And I'm like, uh, smells hoppy.Yeah. Or today smells like a sour.
(20:13):
Smells sour. Damn it.You stole my description today,
too. Yeah. She's so good.and she's so good at, um,
a lot of times.Firestone at beer festivals give you
these little, like, tasting charts,and they'll give you an IPA, and
they go, all right, Mark, you know,like, kind of what you're getting.
And every time she wins prizesbecause she, like,
(20:33):
gets it dead on. That's amazing.Yeah. That's impressive.
And then there's me and I'm like,I don't know. It's good.
It's got like, the water.I can't narrow it as well.
I taste alcohol.But McDreamy is a BJ or was Bjcp
certified or whatever you have todo all like you have to get all
(20:53):
those nuances. I would never.A lot of. Work. It was, it was.
It was a way to turn a,you know, a hobby into something
really kind of serious sounding.I just heard BJ and I got really
confused. He's good at it.He's BJ certified.
What does it stand for?Beer, judge. Beer, judge.
Judge makes a lot of sense.Apparently it's more detailed
(21:14):
than a cicerone as far as, like,getting nuances. Oh, really? Yeah.
Anyways, I could never I,I wouldn't even try.
I'd be like, once again it's theonion or. Nope. Okay.
IPA tastes like onion or itsmells like onion. Shit. Really?
I'm getting orange and pine and like,oh, I get that too,
but a massive amount of shit.Yeah, Bjcp certification is,
(21:38):
like, more intense than gabf.Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah,
it took a lot of studying and like,you have to weekly groups,
I don't know, it was a while ago,but weekly groups.
What are you guys getting togetherto do? Uh, drink. Some. Beer.
Yeah, I went to my weekly group.Meeting, but the opposite.
Sounds real shitty. Yeah. Uh, hi.My name is McDreamy, and I like beer.
(22:03):
My weekly group. Yeah.This could have been a whole
different thing. Really?Could have been.
He maybe made up the whole acronym.Speaking of, uh,
judging and beer festivals,Gabf tickets are now on sale. Yeah.
Erica. Are you going back this year?I am not.
I actually was in conversation with,um, the same point person as I
was a couple years ago.And then I kind of let it drop
(22:26):
because it's.A little bit of a shit show last
time. Yeah. And it's expensive.You know, when it comes to food,
they just.They just give it to you right
up the. Yeah. Yeah.So right up the bjcp. Yeah, exactly.
I was yeah, I was limpingafterwards a little bit.
So um, yeah, I,I would go and visit again.
But it's not one of those thingsyou go every year to I don't think.
(22:49):
Yeah, I agree.And the only unfortunate thing
is it's the last year for.Pints for Prostates.
Oh yeah, I saw that.And that was pretty cool because
it's kind of like that intimate.Yeah, it's much smaller.
You can talk to the Brewers.They're a little more excited to
talk to you because it's like,hey, I brought some of my cool
specialty shit out.It's not like, hey, here's my
IPA that I've sold a million of.Exactly. Who's who did we see there?
(23:11):
A listener, um.Oh, Davis was there. Davis. Yeah.
We got gotta meet Davis and his son,I think, or something.
That was kind of cool.Yeah, Davis is great.
I tried to meet up with him when Iwas in Denver a couple weeks ago,
but he was actually in Wisconsinwhen I was in Denver.
That's right. Classic Davis.I know eating those cannibal
sandwiches, man. Love it.Disgusting. Yeah.
We get people in into the shopevery day ordering that.
(23:32):
It's amazing. So gross.Makes me so. Proud. Like onion.
That smells like onion and shit.Well, you could smell him.
Uh, well, speaking of Gabf,October 9th through 11th,
of course, in Denver.Uh, they say after retooling the
event last year to add moreexperiences, the 2025 edition of
Gabf will lean into distilling,featuring a distilling experience,
(23:57):
full strength spirits from 20distilleries being served on the
floor.In addition to the beer and spirits,
Jbf will include pours of cider,hard kombucha, hard seltzers, hard
tea, rtds and fuck you na offerings.Uh themed areas will return for
a second consecutive year.They included German beer garden,
sports area, Halloween,outer space, backyard and spot
(24:20):
to quote meet the brewer.Same themes as 2024. Interesting.
Didn't they have lucha librelast year?
I'm kind of pissed that we missedthat. It was either last year.
Yeah, I was just kind of pissed.I think it was Fontana. Jim went or.
Oh, I think you're right.I think he went for like a day
or something.I have to say, I was when we all
(24:40):
went two years ago in 2023,my first time going to Gabf.
From everything I heard,I was a little disappointed in
their offerings. Yeah.I mean, was it big? Sure.
But I felt like if you weren't one ofthe really big, cool breweries who
that year happened to be, let's see,Weldwerks had a huge setup. Yep.
Um, pure was ginormous.Like lakefront, had a great setup,
(25:05):
and they were right by the booth.So it was easy access.
Had a lot of lakefront that thatweekend. and a few others.
I felt like if you weren't oneof those big breweries,
like it just was kind of meh. Yeah.A lot of the beer was meh. Yeah.
It's mostly volunteers pouring,not people from the brewery in
any shape or fashion,so you don't get to learn anything.
(25:28):
Uh, it was it was fun.And but what I've told people is
I had the most amount of fun justbeing with a cool group of people.
That's what it's about.I think it's actually more about
getting with your group in like,a cool city, doing that and then
hitting the other things, like,like we did the pints and we did
those other things.So I felt like I kind of missed
out because I was kind of inbusiness mode, a lot of it. Right.
(25:48):
And didn't get to do, like asmuch as I did the silent disco.
That was way fun.I think we talked about how cool
that.I've got a video of you somewhere
at the silent. No you don't.Oh, I absolutely do. Okay.
Delete that. That's not. Good.That's terrible.
Yeah, because I was probably prettysober because I was working,
but it was probably. Yeah.It's never good when you're
(26:10):
dancing sober. I know right?But I can't help. I have to dance.
So fun. Dancing too.Oh, I'm the opposite.
You know, I fucking hammered.I'd have to be to go dancing.
Really? Oh, yeah. Dancing.Karaoke. Any of that stuff?
Oh, for me, you just gotta, like, putmusic on, and I'm there. All right.
I love it. Nope nope, nope.I'm so. Nashville. Yes. Big fan.
(26:34):
I'm so glad the wife is the same way.Like it'd be awful to marry
someone who loves the dance.And you hate to dance, or vice versa.
Yeah. That's how my marriage is.Is that I'm out on the dance floor
and my wife is just head in hand,just shaking her head the entire time
because I just make a fool of myself.You know, I enjoy watching
(26:56):
people dance or watching peoplekaraoke because of that.
Like, it's fun for me to watch.I don't want to be a part of it.
Oh, I love it. Not for me.Give me it all. All right.
Uh, any of you guys drink, uh,Celsius? What are those?
Energy drinks?We just started drinking some.
I just tried, started trying.I think there's some good ones.
Somebody told me about that.They're coming out with Rtds or
(27:18):
something. There was a mix up.There was a mix up.
There's a big recall becausethey mislabeled the cans.
They were actually high noon's.And they sold them as Celsius. No.
So you're going for your 2:00pick me up while you're at work.
You might get a 2:00 buzz instead.Not crazy.
Makes me wish I drank Celsius. Same.I was like, well,
(27:38):
now I want to drink. Them, right?So family's not feeling so, uh,
buzzy in an energetic way.Maybe you're feeling buzzy
afterwards. You're.You're part of the recall.
So I don't think any of them made itto California, if I recall correctly.
That's disappointing.Yeah, it really is.
So, uh, all right,before we move on to more news.
Flexy, baby, let's find out whatyou're drinking over there. Otay.
(28:02):
In a world where craft beer is king.A world where muscles are bigger
than growlers.Only one tongue can guide us.
One man, one tongue.One Tongue-jobber.
In this world, we must find outwhat is Flex drinking?
(28:23):
Well, well, well, we meet again.Today. Yes, I can't, I can't.
Yeah,I can't talk when you guys laugh. Um.
Today I am drinking tropics in thetoes by Young Blood Beer Company.
I don't understand the name,but my kids picked the can.
(28:48):
Yes, of course they did. So my. Fave.I give you a little shot of it.
It's like a little.It's like a little beach sunset.
Oh, yeah.Young Blood usually has some
pretty sweet. Cannot, cannot.It's really cool. I like it a lot.
And, uh, the colors like reds andgreens and yellows and blacks,
I don't know. It's really neat and I.Except the neat part.
(29:11):
Not a real word. A neat. Um, is now.Is they use a terrible color for
the text on the can,so I can't read the can.
Luckily though, luckily our friendshere at untapped who aren't actually
our friends. There's an app for.That. They have it all here.
So, uh, without further ado,it says yes, we love beer here,
(29:36):
but no one else.We love boat drinks,
frozen mai tais, tropical cocktails.So we decided to pay homage to the
blender drink by taking an IPA dryhopped with Azacca and all of its
braggadocious tropical sensibilities,and hit it with mango and raspberry.
(29:58):
It's decidedly crisp, with a tart,refreshing backbone that will run
from your face hole to your toes.I like that. Yeah. Okay.
Always a fun description ontheir beers.
So it is a fruited sour IPA withraspberry, mango and azacca hops.
It weighs in at a 6.2 ABV andcollective four on the nose.
(30:23):
On the nose.So on the nose buds here it's sour.
Smells like. A sour. Imagine that.It doesn't smell like toes.
That's what Erica would find.Yeah, right.
I want to say it's likefermented raspberry.
Like it's like sour andfermented raspberry.
I don't know, it's kind of weird.It's like this sweetness to it.
(30:44):
I don't know, I'm.I'm not a doctor. So, um, just.
Play one on TV. Now. Again.Without further ado,
check out the old Tongue-jobber here.This is really what people come
to the show for. Sure.That's why we put it in the middle.
Yeah. Keep them hooked. Yep.So this is delicious.
I'm biased because I love sour IPAs.Especially fruited ones. Super crisp.
(31:10):
I love how low this carbonation is.Oh, it's similar to, like,
a sour, let alone many sours.Uh,
I think that's how they should be.And the fact that they brought
it that way to an IPA.Okay, this is delicious.
It's not very hoppy at all.Like an IPA would be.
(31:31):
Sometimes you get some sour IPAs,you get a little bit of that hop
backbone on it.There's no bitterness.
It almost just drinks fully likea sour.
But it does have that little bitof crispness to it.
The raspberry is faint.The mango is faint,
but that tartness, like,it's the strength of this beer.
(31:54):
And it's wonderful. Nice. Yeah.Bought a single can. Wish I had four.
Oh, maybe going back for more. Okay.Daddy. Maybe going back for more.
I like it. Yes.I love the new radio. So does daddy.
Yeah. You know, that reminds me.Erica. We didn't ask you.
Did you get a four pack or justa single?
Um, this actually was from our beerhunt for Easter, so I. Ended up.
(32:19):
With a single. Low barrier. It was.A. Good. Easter beer in August.
You dirty dog. Yeah, I know.Somewhere I have a drop of Flex
saying that I need to load it up.You dirty dog. So good.
Uh, a lot of news going on overat Boston Beer.
(32:40):
First, their CEO, Michael Spillane,is stepping down.
He's only been in the role for acouple of years. And Jim. Is it.
Cock. Is it cook. Is it cock.I think it's coke actually.
I know so many people. That.Probably knows she's she's dealt
with them. I think it's. Coke.My brother in law's best friend.
His last name is spelled the sameway. And it's Coke. Um, I know some.
(33:03):
There was a high school footballcoach in the area. Same spelling.
He pronounced it cook. Mm. Um.I went to high school with a
girl with the same spelling,and it was coach. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
And I've also heard. Coach. So what?Just admit it's cock and go on.
Yeah, we all know it's cock.Yeah, everybody knows it's cock.
(33:24):
Uh, this will be the first timecock has served as CEO since 2001.
He'll remain. On. The board.Emphasis on the right syllable.
Exactly.But the big news coming out of Boston
Beer is that they're going to beshutting down their truly LA taproom,
winding down operations there.And I didn't even know they
owned this brewery.But they're also going to be shutting
(33:47):
down. Angel City Brewing. Huh?It's a big brewery in downtown
LA in the Arts District.It's like, I don't know now.
I haven't been down there in a while,but forever.
They were the only good breweryin the area.
There was a couple nearby thatwere not good.
Uh, I may be wrong these days.It's been a minute, but, um, Angel
city's been around for a long time,and I had no idea that Boston
(34:10):
Beer even had had purchased them.So they are looking for a buyer.
They're trying to sell Angelcity so it can live on.
But I think they have basically untilMarch of 2026 to to make that happen.
Otherwise bye bye Angel city.It's crazy.
I can't believe that trulyTaprooms stayed there that long.
I had forgotten it. Opened like.Truly.
(34:31):
That that came out like pandemic.I remember us making fun of it.
Yeah, yeah.Because we did that, uh,
on the show. Yeah.Like that's back before we were ago.
It was back before we werereally drinking Celsius and we
were making fun of it.And yeah, here we are, like.
I'm still gonna make fun ofTruly's because they are still
truly terrible. Um.And I do not drink them.
(34:55):
I think they're trash.They were my gateway scelzi.
That's what. Really? Yeah.I don't think they're that bad.
Just like white clothes.White clothes?
White clothes are the fuckingscourge of the earth. Yeah.
Just atrocious. So are the, um.Have you had the corona ones? Oh, no.
Is it actually Corona brand or, like,a. It's a Corona brand seltzer.
I haven't even seen it.They're about as bad as the Bud
(35:17):
Light ones. Oh, 000, didn't.You have to chug some of those?
Oh, yeah.I forgot about that autumn pack.
Yeah. Selective, uh, memory.Memory? Yeah.
You've with that in a dark closetsomewhere. That memory? Yeah.
Thanks for bringing that up.Back to therapy.
(35:40):
Uh, more bad news for LA beer.Three weavers parent company has
filed for chapter 11.They have quite the story because
they sold to canopy Naki and thenbought themselves back from Kannaki.
And according to a motion filed onJuly 29th, three Weavers has suffered
from a number of different factors,including supply chain disruption,
inflation and general decline inthe entire craft beer industry.
(36:03):
With the shift in consumer preferencegoing away from beer and alcohol.
Additionally, they said.Additionally, Weaver, who also
serves as CEO, was personallyimpacted by the January 7th fires
that hit the Palisades area of LA.According to the filing,
the fire also temporarily shut downthe taproom due to poor air quality,
further hurting the damages.All that good stuff.
(36:25):
So, uh, hopefully they restructureand make their way out of it.
They do make some good beer.I don't see them around like I
used to see them at Trader Joe'sall the time.
Don't see them on shelves asoften as I used to, but, um,
they had like a light.I forget what they called it.
It was like a sour, but it wasperfect, like summer boat beer.
And the wife used to drink theshit out of that.
We'd bring it up to the lake with us,so hopefully, uh,
(36:45):
hopefully they can pull through.LA is really taking a hit, huh?
Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed.Um, we will end it on this one.
Any Oasis fans in the room? No.I heard they got together and
played a show.Yeah, I don't know anything else
about it. It's nostalgic.Some wonderwall. Champagne supernova.
(37:05):
I don't know. Can I just.We're gonna lose some listeners here.
Uh oh. I fucking hate Oasis.Oh, really?
I think they sound like the whiniestbitches Superdelic in the sky.
They just said so whiny to me.I don't it doesn't bother me.
Oh, it bothers the shit.It's like listening to blink 182.
(37:27):
It's like you could be a dick aboutit, or you could just listen to it.
Yeah, I'll listen. To blink 182.Yeah.
It's a little bit how I feelabout blink. I'll be honest.
They're okay, but.Well, when they like.
When we were young, I will skip themand went over to the other band.
Same thing with this year I willprobably. Yeah. I'll see panic.
But anyways, go ahead.Well, Oasis, who I can't stand, has
(37:50):
really helped out the beer economy.They did their little reunion
whatever shows at Wembley,and there was an average of over
250,000 pints of beer sold eachnight at their five night stint.
That's awesome.That's a shit ton of beer. Close ish.
Plus those guys, they would alwaysdrink it and get super drunk.
(38:11):
That's probably why they foughtso much. Yeah. Okay.
And a not close second and thirdto that is Coldplay averages
over 120,000 pints per night.And then, just for some reference,
Taylor Swift 40,000 pints of beer pernight, which that's all the dads.
That's all.The dads that brought their kids.
That's. For sure.Well, these 16 year old girls,
(38:35):
you know, they got to get theresomehow. Right. Exactly.
And dads got to survive it somehow.Hey, so does mom.
Okay, let's not be sexist.Sorry. You're right.
I would be putting the pints downtoo. Yeah, I. Apologise. Parents.
I would be drinking and singingthough. That's. That's me. Yeah.
And dancing.I'm not a swiftie, but some of
them tracks, they catchy as hell.I'm not gonna lie.
(38:57):
I would listen to Taylor over Oasis.Yeah, I probably would too.
I think I know,I know the two songs you said.
And then there is another one.Ah, I just know Oasis. Yeah.
Yeah,those are the ones that I could.
Yeah, those are the ones I know.But yeah, I could listen to some
Shake It Off over ChampagneSupernova any day of the week.
(39:20):
So I used to like Taylor Swift,you know, like me and my friends,
you know, we were like,those fun guys who would get super
drunk at a party and we'd put YouBelong with me on, and. It would.
Just be like nine dudes dancingand jumping,
singing along to the song. I love it.Um, but then my kids,
they got into Taylor Swift and,you know, they had the eras
(39:42):
thing on Disney Plus. Yeah.So they'd watch that like every other
day. Oh, they got. Tired of it.I would start, you know,
listening along a little bitmore every time you're like,
oh my God, this song is actuallyfucking banging, you know?
Why haven't I been listening the lastten years? This is fucking good shit.
Flex is in the shower.I stay up too. Late. Sometimes.
(40:04):
Hey, sometimes I'll throw aroundin the shower. You got that.
Right? Hell, yeah. That's right.Shaking his hair around.
Put my phone in the littleshower caddy and just have a.
Little. Party. I dig, I dig.Uh, all right, let's, uh,
let's wrap things up and andcall it a night over here.
I'm gonna hit some music.I'm gonna thank you all for
listening.Thanks for hanging with us,
(40:25):
Erica. It's been way too long.Of course it's. Been a long time.
I feel like three years. Your faces.I mean, you haven't changed a bit.
You just haven't.You look amazing. Well, CG works.
Good. filter. Got a good.Filter? My internet is blurry.
It's blurry. Right?It's like the VHS of back to the
(40:45):
future. It's a little blurry.Can't quite see the detail.
It's a two. TV. So I think.That was an off the air conversation.
Yeah, I think so. Anyways, follow us.@CraftBeerRepublic @Flex_me_a_beer
underscores in between. Of course.@Neck_nosh_llc underscores as well.
@Neck_nosh_llc. Com and look.Hi, Vanessa. Oh, and hi, Vanessa.
(41:06):
Nice to see. You in, like, 14.No, ten days.
I don't know,you're coming next week. I was gonna.
Say look out for the The BeerBabes collab as well.
It's gonna be amazing. I can't wait.Uh, I think that's everything.
Hope everyone is staying verywell hydrated. And on that note.
Good night everybody.
Four score.And seven minutes ago we embarked
on a most excellent adventure.I got a pretty good voice, I'm not
gonna lie. That's pretty good.
(00:24):
Welcome in everybody.It's the craft beer republic.
Thanks for drinking.Thanks for joining.
I am Greg and I am being joined bythe biggest Brewers fan I know.
And that is Flex.What's up, big fella? Hey. Yeah.
Go. Brewers.Best team in the league I love it.
I still like that hat.Oh, I wore it just for you.
(00:45):
Actually. That's a good hat.I wish people could see it.
I wore it all day long,but I kept it on for the show
tonight because I know you like it.That's a good looking hat, man.
I'm telling you, we've talked aboutbefore on this very audio podcast,
but it is a good looking at.If anybody wants to see it, I don't
know. Just look up Panama hat.I don't know, whatever it's like.
(01:06):
I don't even know if that's thereal word. Panama.
Look up the Pinocchio hat andyou'll find the whole thing. Yeah.
It's amazing. It's good looking. Go!Brewers swept the Dodgers this year.
Not a baseball show,but that's pretty cool. Anyway.
Don't you have something elsegoing on? We got somebody. New.
Yeah, it's getting real salty upin here because our friend Erica
(01:27):
is hanging out with us.What's happening?
Hey, actually, I'm kind of gladyou brought up the Brewers,
because I met this little kid fromSoCal this weekend that was on the
spectrum and totally into baseball,and he was telling me all these
things, and I said, well, who's thebest team? And he goes, The Brewers.
And I was like, I know someone whomight think that's really awesome.
And he's like,I'm a Dodgers fan. But yeah.
(01:49):
So did you ask him about the worstteam? Um, I did not, actually.
I was trying to say positive.That's my favorite conversation right
now is. Who is the worst. Team?Well, it's the Rockies. The Rockies?
Yeah, but they're not just theworst team this year.
They're the worst team in thehistory of Major League Baseball.
And you went and saw them recently,didn't you?
Because they're the worst teamin history.
And I wanted to witness history.Yeah. And I love that stadium.
(02:12):
It's a great stadium.I think I said it on here, like,
I got tickets behind home platefor $30, so.
Honestly, one of the classierfranchises in all of baseball.
Oh, the Rockies are.Yeah, I feel like like they've
never really had an issue,though. They're always decent.
They're never, like, bad.They're never great.
(02:32):
They gave us Nolan Arenado andthen out of nowhere, they're
just the worst team in baseball.That's why. It's so. Funny.
Like I think they've allowed overlike 700 runs so far this year.
Is it. Really? Yeah.Which is like 100 runs more than
any other team so far.Gosh that's fantastic I love it.
(02:53):
And they have like a -200 rundifferential. It's crazy.
It's absolutely crazy.It's almost like they're trying
to be that bad.It's almost like it's impossible.
Yeah, yeah. It's true.Uh, but hey, alas, not a baseball
show. Not a baseball show. Yeah.So, uh, hey, socials. Follow us all.
(03:15):
@CraftBeerRepublic @flex_me_a_beerunderscore in between, of course.
@Neck_nosh_llc LLC, with someunderscores in between as well.
Uh Erica. How are things?Things are pretty good.
It's been a fun, exciting summer.Kids go back to school this week.
So pretty excited about that.Um. I can co-sign that.
Kids going back to school is awesome.Summer's great.
(03:38):
Yeah, for me,it's still like three more weeks.
Okay, you're that, like,after Labor Day kind of thing.
Yes, yes. But yeah.Got the big Beer Babes release coming
up that I've been gearing up for,I'm super excited about.
So, um, collaborating with alocal brewery here.
Tried to get Shannon to come.She almost did. She almost did.
She actually thought about it.So Vanessa's coming.
(04:01):
Rachel or Bruce with Bukowski iscoming here. Um.
It's hoppy, Tiffany's coming,and a few other folks.
It's going to be a big party.I just got my shirt.
I got back from camping.I got my shirt in the mail today.
It's like this. Cool, groovy.Oh, yeah.
That is a cool shirt I do like.It was a limited edition.
So yeah, we're releasing here in acouple weekends, August 23rd from
(04:24):
11 to 2 at Mindscape Fermentations.It's going to be a big party,
so I'm excited about that.If you're in the Sacramento area.
Yeah,yeah it's like 30 minutes outside.
It's not 15 minutes I'mrealistic Greg.
It's not quite 40 for it's you knowit's about 30. Everything's 40.
What are. You talking. About.My house is 40.
This is like 30 minutes outsideof Sacramento. And, um.
(04:46):
Yeah,it's it's going to be a lot of fun.
Uh, gonna have six ladies staying atthe house with me, I think. Oh, wow.
Sterling, I've seen that movie.Actually.
Sterling's excited or nervous?No, he's taking the kids out of town.
Oh. So nervous. I've.I've definitely seen that movie.
(05:06):
Pizza delivery. No, no.Uh, yeah, we're gonna have an
after party, but it'll be, um,ladies only. And, um.
Yeah, it should be pretty fun.Sounds like a rad ass time. Yeah.
And what kind of beer are you guysdoing? It's actually a seltzer.
Because they are, um.They do make beer.
(05:28):
They make hard kombucha.They make everything, but they make
some really bomb craft seltzers.So they wanted to kind of launch
something a little different.And so it's a majestic peach and it's
got like a purple pea flower on it.So it's going to be like a
bright purple. That's cool.I can tell you I'm very much
behind this. Yeah.Are you the seltzer train? Yes. Okay.
You know, it's funny how much we did.We talk a little trash about seltzer
(05:49):
seltzers. A few about years back.I'm just. Saying.
So my issue with seltzers was,was the smoothie seltzers. Oh.
Those are still gross.That was always my. Yeah. Bummer.
Because the idea of the seltzersis a low cal. Yeah.
Still get still get a little,you know, whooshed up and then
making it a smoothie seltzer.You're just bringing in all
(06:11):
those carbs, all that sugar,etc., etc.. Totally.
It negates the whole fact thatyou're. Drinking a seltzer.
Trying to drink a seltzer.And we gotta help brew it,
by the way. So that was fun.Gotta do a brew day with, um, them.
And you know, it's not the mostcomplicated process,
as you could imagine, but it wasstill fun and nice. That's awesome.
(06:32):
My big complaint about theseltzers was always, always just
how fruity and sweet they were.I feel like now you can find
some that are are normal.Like a lot of the Topo.
Uh, Topo Chico. Topo Chico are good.They've really calmed down.
They're not quite so. Like.Here's some fruit in your face,
you know? Right?It's not like Hawaiian Punch
with alcohol.Or you get like,
that fake fruit smell to it.Yeah, like the overly fake and.
(06:57):
Yeah, yeah,a lot of those early seltzers,
they hadn't quite figured out theflavor stuff yet. And for sure.
They let me pick the some of theflavors on this.
So they laid it like we had aday where it came in.
They put all these fruit puree thingsin front of me. And so that was fun.
So hopefully that turns out reallynice. But yeah, I agree with you.
Some of those are really funky.I like the high noon's too.
Those are pretty good.Yeah,
(07:18):
I like the peach high Noon's peach.Yeah, I think that's my favorite
high noon flavor.The only one I've ever had was the
watermelon. And it was not good.Yeah, it was pretty trashed.
Like I've come around to not dumpingit, but it's, um, it's trash,
but it's not as bad as the pineapple.The pineapples. It's garbage.
Yeah, I just can't.Is it the Costco one Shannon can't
have or something like that?You know, let's get nerdy. Yeah.
(07:39):
Costco, the Kirkland seltzers. Yeah.She had some weird allergic reaction
to a couple of the flavors they'verecently reformulated them, so we
bought them to see if things changed.And she seems to be okay now.
Okay. It's weird.Super weird,
but good because now I don't have tokeep spending the money on iTunes.
Yeah,you can go through those pretty fast.
(08:00):
Back to being a cheap ass withmy Kirkland cell tees.
So hell yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah.Anywho, but alas,
this is a beer show.It is not a yes. Not necessarily.
I have a feeling we'll get there.We'll get there.
We're working our way in.We respect it. Some of it.
Thank you. Yeah. Yes, exactly.So if you guys don't mind, I'm gonna.
(08:23):
I'm gonna crack this open.I am so thirsty. Okay.
You deserve it. You've had a day.It's been a day. Out of my beer.
Out of my head.Like a hundred degrees here.
I don't know about you guys,but. The 90s here. 76.
(08:45):
It was a high 85 today.That's perfect.
Dew point was 70, though.It was very gross. Okay. Lost me.
There. Uh, today I am drinking.I've never even heard of this
brewery before. Sorry. Brewery.I'm drinking old Irving Brewing Co.
Yeah. In Illinois?Yeah, in Chicago,
according to the can.Uh, it's a collab with Chaos Brew
(09:06):
Club, and it's called lutefisk.A sour fruited ale.
You know, like the Swedish fish.Lutefisk is. So. Gross. Gross.
Oh my gosh, super gross.It's a very Scandinavian. Is it?
Oh yeah.That's the fermented fish thing
right? Yeah, I. Think so, yeah. Yeah.This though is a 6% with a 403
(09:27):
untapped. Okay.Kettle soured ale brewed with
cranberries and Swedish fish candy.It's a collab with James Sai of
the Chaos Brew Club.And I have to admit,
this came from the Tavour.And I bought it for the wife
because she loves the sour brew.The wife. She loves sours.
And so, like,whenever I do some IPA orders,
(09:49):
you know, like, I'll, I'll get somesours for her because I'm nice and I
don't want her to touch my beer.But she hadn't drank this yet,
and that's her loss.So her loss is my gain on the
schnapps. Bring it. The what?On the what? The nose buds.
There we go.I can't pick out the fruit because I
(10:10):
think it's the Swedish fish candy.It smells like clusterfuck fruit and
like, gummies or something. And.And sourness, which I know Flex and
I always talk about sour beers.Have a specific. Smell. The sour.
On yield. Tongue-jobber.Oh, man, that is taught.
(10:33):
Maybe that's where thecranberries come in. I think.
So it is super tart.You do get a little cranberry.
It is kind of sweet,like a Swedish fish.
Uh, luckily, it's not like,overly sweet.
The sour really cuts thesweetness down.
Um, and I apologize if for therest of the show, I'm going.
I'm gonna try my my best not to,because this is taut and acidic
(10:55):
and puckery. It's pretty. Not bad.I don't know that I'd give it
the 403. Um. God.Excuse my voice cracking.
I was yelling earlier.Uh, I'd probably knock this down a
little bit closer, like a three,seven, five or something. Like.
Good. Not amazing.Uh, I'm glad I only have one.
I don't think I'd buy a four pack.Oh, okay. Okay.
(11:15):
Yeah, I'm glad I've tried.I would say maybe a three.
Then, uh, yeah. Buy a four pack.I mean.
It's one of those things that Iappreciate but don't need to drink a
bunch of. Okay, if that makes sense.Like, you know,
the wife would probably be okaywith a four pack. Okay.
I on the other,because it's a good beer, but I just,
I don't I don't need four of these.It's real sour. Oh, in that sense.
(11:36):
Yeah. yeah. So. But but a good beard.Definitely a good beard.
Uh, before I forget,top listening city shout out to
North Hills, California forlistening in last week.
I think that's out near Chew, homie.Chew Your Beer out there so Chew.
Hey Chew.Um, also a shout out to Jan from
our mutual Friend brewing lastweek for for being on the show and
(11:57):
hanging out and all that good stuff.And, uh, if you haven't listened yet,
go back to last week for 72,I believe that was, uh, Jan,
the head brewer over at ourmutual friend, hung out with him
when I was in Denver.And, uh, the story I tell of of
telling friends that were goingto that brewery and them getting
confused is actually when we werewith Erica at Gabf a couple years
(12:17):
ago, I remember telling the group,like, hey, we're gonna go to our
mutual Friend Brewing.And I think it was, uh,
Mcdreamy's sister was like, oh, yourfriend has a brewery. I was. Like.
Yeah, no, no, no, it's calledOur Mutual Friend Brewing.
And so, uh, but yeah,really good beer.
And, uh, he's a cool guy and hada fun conversation.
Got some really nice feedbackfrom a couple listeners.
So so thanks everybody.I like the part they, they collabed
(12:39):
with Fort George, which is likethe biggest brewery in Astoria.
And Fort George is getting out there,especially with their three way IPA.
Um, but we went to high schoolwith those those guys that
started that brewery.Yeah, yeah, they're same age as
myself and my brother.So yeah, that's pretty cool to hear.
They're like, oh yeah, Fort George,like, oh, from my small town.
Yeah. Even from Astoria.I was like, oh, I know someone from.
Astoria. From Greenville.Boonville. So uh, yeah.
(13:05):
Check that out if you haven't.It was a good time.
And definitely check out theirbeer if you're in Denver or if
you see it anywhere.I was really disappointed when,
uh, he was talking about Destro.I was like, when are you coming
out to the West Coast?And he's like, oh,
we pulled out of the West Coast.I was like. Oh, oh. And our mutual.
Friend, unfortunately strong.If if you see Fort George again,
(13:25):
tell him, hey, you guys. Uh.See you Greg. Got it.
I smiled, I, I thought,I thought it was well played.
Yeah. You know, I love that movie.It's quite an adventure.
That is for sure.I never even saw it until I was
an adult.I was very much an adult before.
What wrong with your childhood?Let me get my list out.
(13:49):
Uh, I don't pay you for therapy.You don't want.
To pay somebody by the hour for that,bud. No imagination.
Yeah, they they earn their keep.Uh, and then also just wanted to
to say thanks to everybody for thebirthday wishes and the birthday
hanging outs and all that stuffon the day of my birth,
which was a Tuesday.How was the happy hour? It was. Good.
You never got back to me on thehappy hour because I was drunk.
(14:13):
We went to this place called Plata,which is a Mexican restaurant out
here, and they have a good happyhour, like, they had like $8,
Margie's and, uh, $10 ceviche.And the Margie's were were not
small and so had a couple margs hadsome ceviche, had, uh, you know,
like some guac and some otherapps and that kind of stuff.
And Nicole came out.So did Devin. Brian.
(14:36):
And so did Kevin and Patty,who are, um, you know,
Kevin and Patty do the trivia.They were all friends with now.
And so, uh, did that,and then we went to one of their
trivias that night, the one thatPatty was hosting. And it was great.
It was a location we've neverbeen to.
It was a pizza place, and theydidn't have a ton of teams at night.
It was like five teams total orwhatever.
And we just walked in and we fuckingannihilated and we won and we got the
(15:00):
gift card and then we just walkedout. I was like, we'll probably.
Never be back.We just fucked some other team
out of a gift card. And we'll.Never come and. Use it.
That's amazing.I was just laughing at that.
Could be like the new weekly routine.It's just going to a new trivia spot.
Dude, how. Good would. That. Be?Just owning it.
(15:20):
Yeah, and just like,mic dropping and walking out.
That would be so amazing.And the funny thing is,
the team we beat was the ownerof the place, his team.
But he wasn't there that night,and I he if he wins,
he doesn't take the prizeobviously because he's the owner.
But so they were they thoughtthey had a chance at at taking
the the gift card.And we swooped in and were like, no.
(15:41):
You should, you should like likethe gift card on fire too. Yeah.
You're helping out the you sayit was a brewery or whatever.
You know. It's. A pizza place.We will never be back here or
just raffle it off on Instagram.Oh, that's a good idea.
It's not like we didn't like theplace. We had some food. It was good.
You know, they had a couple ofdecent beers on tap, but, uh.
But, yeah. Fuck you guys.We're gonna win and never come back.
(16:06):
That's amazing, I love it.That was kind of a birthday present
to myself. Just being a dick.But good times. It's your birthday.
Oh. All right. Excellent.That was a lot good. Yeah.
It wasn't that much. Oh, okay.It was. It was a good amount.
That was a medium amount.Yeah, it was in the pocket.
That's perfect. Nailed it.It was perfect timing right there.
(16:28):
Uh. Good. Shit. Uh.All right, well,
before we move on any further,uh, Erica want to want to talk
about some beverages. Yeah, sure.That's not a beverage. Yeah.
Let's make a call. Let's do it.Who calls to the bullpen for beer?
Speaking of baseball. Oh, yeah.Baseball. Damn it.
(16:49):
No, not not not backslide,you guys. Okay. This is.
I'm probably gonna say it wrong fromPfriem family brewers in Portland.
Oh, yeah. Pfriem.They're, like, big time award winners
for all kinds of things, right?I haven't actually ever been to
the brewery in Portland,but of course, you know,
we have family there. We visit.Um, so that was from one of our
(17:10):
last visits.So it's a West Coast IPA, and it's a
nice little 12 ounce package. Right.Because lightweight here loves a
nice little 12 ouncer. And it is.Wait, you're a lightweight. Yeah.
Well, yeah I am. Oh. Yeah. News.News to me. Yeah. Right. Yeah.
Well, I'm just slowly letting thingsout. I've known you guys a few years.
(17:33):
I got to kind of ease into thesethings. So. A little at a time.
Um, so it has had 3000 check inson untapped 3.92.
It is an American IPA, 6.8 ABV,45 IBUs, and I love the short
little description.Citra and strata CG hops, notes of
(17:56):
strawberry, cannabis and tangerine.Bright, crisp and lean body with
an explosion of hops.Notes of cannabis like just
flavoring or.I'm sure cannabis saying it's
like dank. Yes, exactly.And that's what I was thinking,
because it's first of all,if you take a look at it, it's it's
kind of a it's a little cloudy.Like little pale straw. Yeah. Yeah.
(18:18):
It did have a little bit of afoamy head when I first poured it.
It's it's warming up.I do like me a good American IPA
though, Let me tell you. Yeah.And they're good at those really
like kind of just baseline notgetting too crazy with things here.
They're using some OG hops right.And it smells citrusy.
I mean Citra and Strata that'sthat's classic. Exactly.
On the Yapper flapper. It is.It's really balanced.
(18:42):
I, I agree with bright as it'swarming up.
I would say when I first had itit was a little cooler.
It didn't really finish so dank,but it is pretty dank right now.
But it's it's nice.It's it's just right.
Great little balanced IPA. Yeah.That strawberry note in the
description that always gets melike whenever a beer says it's
got like a strawberry or ablueberry flavor to it.
(19:03):
It always gets me extremelycurious and I try really,
really hard to find it.I don't find it so much in the
taste bud, in the aroma.I can kind of pull strawberry.
Okay, some solid nose buds yougot there? Yeah. Top notch.
Not as good as notch nose buds.Top nose flavor. Yeah. Top nose.
knows.Um, actually, do I have a very
(19:25):
sensitive nose, so. Oh, really?I'm the opposite. And it's.
But it's not like it's not verygood at, like,
narrowing in on exactly what it is.It's either like I smell onions
or shit, I. Smell.It's one or the other. Damn.
This IPA smells like horseshit.Normally it's just I'm very
sensitive to bad smells. So, um.Anyways, that's. We are backsliding.
(19:50):
We're focused on beer.Lovely little beer, you guys.
Good. Nice. Yeah.The wife is really good with the
nose part of beer tasting and stuff.Like,
she'll dig her nose in there and go.Oh, yeah,
I got some melon and some strawberryand obviously the pine. It's.
She just pulls out every goddamnflavor with her nose.
And I'm like, uh, smells hoppy.Yeah. Or today smells like a sour.
(20:13):
Smells sour. Damn it.You stole my description today,
too. Yeah. She's so good.and she's so good at, um,
a lot of times.Firestone at beer festivals give you
these little, like, tasting charts,and they'll give you an IPA, and
they go, all right, Mark, you know,like, kind of what you're getting.
And every time she wins prizesbecause she, like,
(20:33):
gets it dead on. That's amazing.Yeah. That's impressive.
And then there's me and I'm like,I don't know. It's good.
It's got like, the water.I can't narrow it as well.
I taste alcohol.But McDreamy is a BJ or was Bjcp
certified or whatever you have todo all like you have to get all
(20:53):
those nuances. I would never.A lot of. Work. It was, it was.
It was a way to turn a,you know, a hobby into something
really kind of serious sounding.I just heard BJ and I got really
confused. He's good at it.He's BJ certified.
What does it stand for?Beer, judge. Beer, judge.
Judge makes a lot of sense.Apparently it's more detailed
(21:14):
than a cicerone as far as, like,getting nuances. Oh, really? Yeah.
Anyways, I could never I,I wouldn't even try.
I'd be like, once again it's theonion or. Nope. Okay.
IPA tastes like onion or itsmells like onion. Shit. Really?
I'm getting orange and pine and like,oh, I get that too,
but a massive amount of shit.Yeah, Bjcp certification is,
(21:38):
like, more intense than gabf.Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah,
it took a lot of studying and like,you have to weekly groups,
I don't know, it was a while ago,but weekly groups.
What are you guys getting togetherto do? Uh, drink. Some. Beer.
Yeah, I went to my weekly group.Meeting, but the opposite.
Sounds real shitty. Yeah. Uh, hi.My name is McDreamy, and I like beer.
(22:03):
My weekly group. Yeah.This could have been a whole
different thing. Really?Could have been.
He maybe made up the whole acronym.Speaking of, uh,
judging and beer festivals,Gabf tickets are now on sale. Yeah.
Erica. Are you going back this year?I am not.
I actually was in conversation with,um, the same point person as I
was a couple years ago.And then I kind of let it drop
(22:26):
because it's.A little bit of a shit show last
time. Yeah. And it's expensive.You know, when it comes to food,
they just.They just give it to you right
up the. Yeah. Yeah.So right up the bjcp. Yeah, exactly.
I was yeah, I was limpingafterwards a little bit.
So um, yeah, I,I would go and visit again.
But it's not one of those thingsyou go every year to I don't think.
(22:49):
Yeah, I agree.And the only unfortunate thing
is it's the last year for.Pints for Prostates.
Oh yeah, I saw that.And that was pretty cool because
it's kind of like that intimate.Yeah, it's much smaller.
You can talk to the Brewers.They're a little more excited to
talk to you because it's like,hey, I brought some of my cool
specialty shit out.It's not like, hey, here's my
IPA that I've sold a million of.Exactly. Who's who did we see there?
(23:11):
A listener, um.Oh, Davis was there. Davis. Yeah.
We got gotta meet Davis and his son,I think, or something.
That was kind of cool.Yeah, Davis is great.
I tried to meet up with him when Iwas in Denver a couple weeks ago,
but he was actually in Wisconsinwhen I was in Denver.
That's right. Classic Davis.I know eating those cannibal
sandwiches, man. Love it.Disgusting. Yeah.
We get people in into the shopevery day ordering that.
(23:32):
It's amazing. So gross.Makes me so. Proud. Like onion.
That smells like onion and shit.Well, you could smell him.
Uh, well, speaking of Gabf,October 9th through 11th,
of course, in Denver.Uh, they say after retooling the
event last year to add moreexperiences, the 2025 edition of
Gabf will lean into distilling,featuring a distilling experience,
(23:57):
full strength spirits from 20distilleries being served on the
floor.In addition to the beer and spirits,
Jbf will include pours of cider,hard kombucha, hard seltzers, hard
tea, rtds and fuck you na offerings.Uh themed areas will return for
a second consecutive year.They included German beer garden,
sports area, Halloween,outer space, backyard and spot
(24:20):
to quote meet the brewer.Same themes as 2024. Interesting.
Didn't they have lucha librelast year?
I'm kind of pissed that we missedthat. It was either last year.
Yeah, I was just kind of pissed.I think it was Fontana. Jim went or.
Oh, I think you're right.I think he went for like a day
or something.I have to say, I was when we all
(24:40):
went two years ago in 2023,my first time going to Gabf.
From everything I heard,I was a little disappointed in
their offerings. Yeah.I mean, was it big? Sure.
But I felt like if you weren't one ofthe really big, cool breweries who
that year happened to be, let's see,Weldwerks had a huge setup. Yep.
Um, pure was ginormous.Like lakefront, had a great setup,
(25:05):
and they were right by the booth.So it was easy access.
Had a lot of lakefront that thatweekend. and a few others.
I felt like if you weren't oneof those big breweries,
like it just was kind of meh. Yeah.A lot of the beer was meh. Yeah.
It's mostly volunteers pouring,not people from the brewery in
any shape or fashion,so you don't get to learn anything.
(25:28):
Uh, it was it was fun.And but what I've told people is
I had the most amount of fun justbeing with a cool group of people.
That's what it's about.I think it's actually more about
getting with your group in like,a cool city, doing that and then
hitting the other things, like,like we did the pints and we did
those other things.So I felt like I kind of missed
out because I was kind of inbusiness mode, a lot of it. Right.
(25:48):
And didn't get to do, like asmuch as I did the silent disco.
That was way fun.I think we talked about how cool
that.I've got a video of you somewhere
at the silent. No you don't.Oh, I absolutely do. Okay.
Delete that. That's not. Good.That's terrible.
Yeah, because I was probably prettysober because I was working,
but it was probably. Yeah.It's never good when you're
(26:10):
dancing sober. I know right?But I can't help. I have to dance.
So fun. Dancing too.Oh, I'm the opposite.
You know, I fucking hammered.I'd have to be to go dancing.
Really? Oh, yeah. Dancing.Karaoke. Any of that stuff?
Oh, for me, you just gotta, like, putmusic on, and I'm there. All right.
I love it. Nope nope, nope.I'm so. Nashville. Yes. Big fan.
(26:34):
I'm so glad the wife is the same way.Like it'd be awful to marry
someone who loves the dance.And you hate to dance, or vice versa.
Yeah. That's how my marriage is.Is that I'm out on the dance floor
and my wife is just head in hand,just shaking her head the entire time
because I just make a fool of myself.You know, I enjoy watching
(26:56):
people dance or watching peoplekaraoke because of that.
Like, it's fun for me to watch.I don't want to be a part of it.
Oh, I love it. Not for me.Give me it all. All right.
Uh, any of you guys drink, uh,Celsius? What are those?
Energy drinks?We just started drinking some.
I just tried, started trying.I think there's some good ones.
Somebody told me about that.They're coming out with Rtds or
(27:18):
something. There was a mix up.There was a mix up.
There's a big recall becausethey mislabeled the cans.
They were actually high noon's.And they sold them as Celsius. No.
So you're going for your 2:00pick me up while you're at work.
You might get a 2:00 buzz instead.Not crazy.
Makes me wish I drank Celsius. Same.I was like, well,
(27:38):
now I want to drink. Them, right?So family's not feeling so, uh,
buzzy in an energetic way.Maybe you're feeling buzzy
afterwards. You're.You're part of the recall.
So I don't think any of them made itto California, if I recall correctly.
That's disappointing.Yeah, it really is.
So, uh, all right,before we move on to more news.
Flexy, baby, let's find out whatyou're drinking over there. Otay.
(28:02):
In a world where craft beer is king.A world where muscles are bigger
than growlers.Only one tongue can guide us.
One man, one tongue.One Tongue-jobber.
In this world, we must find outwhat is Flex drinking?
(28:23):
Well, well, well, we meet again.Today. Yes, I can't, I can't.
Yeah,I can't talk when you guys laugh. Um.
Today I am drinking tropics in thetoes by Young Blood Beer Company.
I don't understand the name,but my kids picked the can.
(28:48):
Yes, of course they did. So my. Fave.I give you a little shot of it.
It's like a little.It's like a little beach sunset.
Oh, yeah.Young Blood usually has some
pretty sweet. Cannot, cannot.It's really cool. I like it a lot.
And, uh, the colors like reds andgreens and yellows and blacks,
I don't know. It's really neat and I.Except the neat part.
(29:11):
Not a real word. A neat. Um, is now.Is they use a terrible color for
the text on the can,so I can't read the can.
Luckily though, luckily our friendshere at untapped who aren't actually
our friends. There's an app for.That. They have it all here.
So, uh, without further ado,it says yes, we love beer here,
(29:36):
but no one else.We love boat drinks,
frozen mai tais, tropical cocktails.So we decided to pay homage to the
blender drink by taking an IPA dryhopped with Azacca and all of its
braggadocious tropical sensibilities,and hit it with mango and raspberry.
(29:58):
It's decidedly crisp, with a tart,refreshing backbone that will run
from your face hole to your toes.I like that. Yeah. Okay.
Always a fun description ontheir beers.
So it is a fruited sour IPA withraspberry, mango and azacca hops.
It weighs in at a 6.2 ABV andcollective four on the nose.
(30:23):
On the nose.So on the nose buds here it's sour.
Smells like. A sour. Imagine that.It doesn't smell like toes.
That's what Erica would find.Yeah, right.
I want to say it's likefermented raspberry.
Like it's like sour andfermented raspberry.
I don't know, it's kind of weird.It's like this sweetness to it.
(30:44):
I don't know, I'm.I'm not a doctor. So, um, just.
Play one on TV. Now. Again.Without further ado,
check out the old Tongue-jobber here.This is really what people come
to the show for. Sure.That's why we put it in the middle.
Yeah. Keep them hooked. Yep.So this is delicious.
I'm biased because I love sour IPAs.Especially fruited ones. Super crisp.
(31:10):
I love how low this carbonation is.Oh, it's similar to, like,
a sour, let alone many sours.Uh,
I think that's how they should be.And the fact that they brought
it that way to an IPA.Okay, this is delicious.
It's not very hoppy at all.Like an IPA would be.
(31:31):
Sometimes you get some sour IPAs,you get a little bit of that hop
backbone on it.There's no bitterness.
It almost just drinks fully likea sour.
But it does have that little bitof crispness to it.
The raspberry is faint.The mango is faint,
but that tartness, like,it's the strength of this beer.
(31:54):
And it's wonderful. Nice. Yeah.Bought a single can. Wish I had four.
Oh, maybe going back for more. Okay.Daddy. Maybe going back for more.
I like it. Yes.I love the new radio. So does daddy.
Yeah. You know, that reminds me.Erica. We didn't ask you.
Did you get a four pack or justa single?
Um, this actually was from our beerhunt for Easter, so I. Ended up.
(32:19):
With a single. Low barrier. It was.A. Good. Easter beer in August.
You dirty dog. Yeah, I know.Somewhere I have a drop of Flex
saying that I need to load it up.You dirty dog. So good.
Uh, a lot of news going on overat Boston Beer.
(32:40):
First, their CEO, Michael Spillane,is stepping down.
He's only been in the role for acouple of years. And Jim. Is it.
Cock. Is it cook. Is it cock.I think it's coke actually.
I know so many people. That.Probably knows she's she's dealt
with them. I think it's. Coke.My brother in law's best friend.
His last name is spelled the sameway. And it's Coke. Um, I know some.
(33:03):
There was a high school footballcoach in the area. Same spelling.
He pronounced it cook. Mm. Um.I went to high school with a
girl with the same spelling,and it was coach. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
And I've also heard. Coach. So what?Just admit it's cock and go on.
Yeah, we all know it's cock.Yeah, everybody knows it's cock.
(33:24):
Uh, this will be the first timecock has served as CEO since 2001.
He'll remain. On. The board.Emphasis on the right syllable.
Exactly.But the big news coming out of Boston
Beer is that they're going to beshutting down their truly LA taproom,
winding down operations there.And I didn't even know they
owned this brewery.But they're also going to be shutting
(33:47):
down. Angel City Brewing. Huh?It's a big brewery in downtown
LA in the Arts District.It's like, I don't know now.
I haven't been down there in a while,but forever.
They were the only good breweryin the area.
There was a couple nearby thatwere not good.
Uh, I may be wrong these days.It's been a minute, but, um, Angel
city's been around for a long time,and I had no idea that Boston
(34:10):
Beer even had had purchased them.So they are looking for a buyer.
They're trying to sell Angelcity so it can live on.
But I think they have basically untilMarch of 2026 to to make that happen.
Otherwise bye bye Angel city.It's crazy.
I can't believe that trulyTaprooms stayed there that long.
I had forgotten it. Opened like.Truly.
(34:31):
That that came out like pandemic.I remember us making fun of it.
Yeah, yeah.Because we did that, uh,
on the show. Yeah.Like that's back before we were ago.
It was back before we werereally drinking Celsius and we
were making fun of it.And yeah, here we are, like.
I'm still gonna make fun ofTruly's because they are still
truly terrible. Um.And I do not drink them.
(34:55):
I think they're trash.They were my gateway scelzi.
That's what. Really? Yeah.I don't think they're that bad.
Just like white clothes.White clothes?
White clothes are the fuckingscourge of the earth. Yeah.
Just atrocious. So are the, um.Have you had the corona ones? Oh, no.
Is it actually Corona brand or, like,a. It's a Corona brand seltzer.
I haven't even seen it.They're about as bad as the Bud
(35:17):
Light ones. Oh, 000, didn't.You have to chug some of those?
Oh, yeah.I forgot about that autumn pack.
Yeah. Selective, uh, memory.Memory? Yeah.
You've with that in a dark closetsomewhere. That memory? Yeah.
Thanks for bringing that up.Back to therapy.
(35:40):
Uh, more bad news for LA beer.Three weavers parent company has
filed for chapter 11.They have quite the story because
they sold to canopy Naki and thenbought themselves back from Kannaki.
And according to a motion filed onJuly 29th, three Weavers has suffered
from a number of different factors,including supply chain disruption,
inflation and general decline inthe entire craft beer industry.
(36:03):
With the shift in consumer preferencegoing away from beer and alcohol.
Additionally, they said.Additionally, Weaver, who also
serves as CEO, was personallyimpacted by the January 7th fires
that hit the Palisades area of LA.According to the filing,
the fire also temporarily shut downthe taproom due to poor air quality,
further hurting the damages.All that good stuff.
(36:25):
So, uh, hopefully they restructureand make their way out of it.
They do make some good beer.I don't see them around like I
used to see them at Trader Joe'sall the time.
Don't see them on shelves asoften as I used to, but, um,
they had like a light.I forget what they called it.
It was like a sour, but it wasperfect, like summer boat beer.
And the wife used to drink theshit out of that.
We'd bring it up to the lake with us,so hopefully, uh,
(36:45):
hopefully they can pull through.LA is really taking a hit, huh?
Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed.Um, we will end it on this one.
Any Oasis fans in the room? No.I heard they got together and
played a show.Yeah, I don't know anything else
about it. It's nostalgic.Some wonderwall. Champagne supernova.
(37:05):
I don't know. Can I just.We're gonna lose some listeners here.
Uh oh. I fucking hate Oasis.Oh, really?
I think they sound like the whiniestbitches Superdelic in the sky.
They just said so whiny to me.I don't it doesn't bother me.
Oh, it bothers the shit.It's like listening to blink 182.
(37:27):
It's like you could be a dick aboutit, or you could just listen to it.
Yeah, I'll listen. To blink 182.Yeah.
It's a little bit how I feelabout blink. I'll be honest.
They're okay, but.Well, when they like.
When we were young, I will skip themand went over to the other band.
Same thing with this year I willprobably. Yeah. I'll see panic.
But anyways, go ahead.Well, Oasis, who I can't stand, has
(37:50):
really helped out the beer economy.They did their little reunion
whatever shows at Wembley,and there was an average of over
250,000 pints of beer sold eachnight at their five night stint.
That's awesome.That's a shit ton of beer. Close ish.
Plus those guys, they would alwaysdrink it and get super drunk.
(38:11):
That's probably why they foughtso much. Yeah. Okay.
And a not close second and thirdto that is Coldplay averages
over 120,000 pints per night.And then, just for some reference,
Taylor Swift 40,000 pints of beer pernight, which that's all the dads.
That's all.The dads that brought their kids.
That's. For sure.Well, these 16 year old girls,
(38:35):
you know, they got to get theresomehow. Right. Exactly.
And dads got to survive it somehow.Hey, so does mom.
Okay, let's not be sexist.Sorry. You're right.
I would be putting the pints downtoo. Yeah, I. Apologise. Parents.
I would be drinking and singingthough. That's. That's me. Yeah.
And dancing.I'm not a swiftie, but some of
them tracks, they catchy as hell.I'm not gonna lie.
(38:57):
I would listen to Taylor over Oasis.Yeah, I probably would too.
I think I know,I know the two songs you said.
And then there is another one.Ah, I just know Oasis. Yeah.
Yeah,those are the ones that I could.
Yeah, those are the ones I know.But yeah, I could listen to some
Shake It Off over ChampagneSupernova any day of the week.
(39:20):
So I used to like Taylor Swift,you know, like me and my friends,
you know, we were like,those fun guys who would get super
drunk at a party and we'd put YouBelong with me on, and. It would.
Just be like nine dudes dancingand jumping,
singing along to the song. I love it.Um, but then my kids,
they got into Taylor Swift and,you know, they had the eras
(39:42):
thing on Disney Plus. Yeah.So they'd watch that like every other
day. Oh, they got. Tired of it.I would start, you know,
listening along a little bitmore every time you're like,
