Yeah, we'll get to that. Let's let's just fucking dig right in. I'm thirsty get in right in Oh Well, you know, I'm I'm a limber guy
Not wrong there. Very movie. Yeah, I am drinking this week green cheek beer companies Verdant style hazy pale ale
We all know I'm a lover of pale hazies and I've never heard of a bad thing from green cheek Oh so good five and a half percent 4.1 one on untapped and they say after a beer swap with our Pally James
The brewer and co-founder at verdant in the UK. We both felt like we had something to learn from one another So here is our energy transfer project where we both taught each other how to make each other's beers
We use their hazy pale ale recipe made with their hair or made with heritage barley from Simpson mall Hit with a huge whirlpool addition and dry hop like crazy with Nelson and mosaic
We even fermented it with their house yeast strain. The result is full-bodied and so insanely juicy in all caps, ooh think lychee candy
freeze dried blueberries nectarine skins and cotton candy pixie dust Interesting On the old schnazzer Rooney do I
Really get the nectarine and even like some peach ring type smells. Ooh Daddy like that The tongue-dropper is
Loving the softness the pillowy softness from it. I don't know I've said this before No fucking idea what a lychee tastes like. I think this is what lychee tastes like lychee is like man. It's
It's it's almost like this like I always call it like an acquired taste, okay It's like this pure sugarcane type flavor But it's very like I don't know like it
Almost like it was fermented. Hmm cuz I'm getting like a you know, like a fruity sweetness Yeah, that would be the lychee. Okay, and I'm also getting some of that peach and definitely the nectarine
I don't know that I'm getting the freeze-dried blueberries per se but do get a little bit that cotton candy It is a fucking crusher. That sounds amazing. Yeah, so good. Love a hazy pale
They did not disappoint a lot of times the hazy pales like the mouth feel might fall a little flat because It's not quite as fluffy this one. So good. So fluffy so delicious. I
Can't get enough. It's not surprising. It's really not. Yeah, they're fucking killing down there I I had to go down for work. I had to go down to Orange County for work last week One of our clients had to shoot a bunch of drone footage for one of our clients so I was down there for a couple nights
and As like the first night there, you know that it's everything's on on the company company trip. So I was like Yeah, I was like where my over dinner. So I started like searching breweries near me and
There's one that was like really close. I was like, oh, what's this and everything was gluten-free and I've just not had great experience With gluten-free beers, I was like, all right hard pass and Like what's the next closest one and I forget what it was and then equidistant in the other direction
I just happened to see how the corner man was like Oh green cheek. It's only 11 minutes away Wow Fuck yeah, and they have food. So went over there. I'm in a driver walk, right? I wish I'd totally walk
That's I'm saying I've been fucking tits. Yeah, so went over had a flight. I had the big brother of this one It's their verdant style double APA really enjoyed that I
Didn't tried the hazy pale yet. Wait until the show to try that Wow, you don't normally do that No, I mean it was in the flight. I just had a couple there. It was really good Oh you did so you did try it not the pale. I had the I tried the double version of it
Oh, yeah. Okay. That's I'm saying like you never that's not you to not try a beer I know the devil was in the flight I got and then I was like, you know I want I want some more of this so I had a couple more pints and
Had some wingies and I was the loser who is that a brewery what wingy Who's the loser that was at a brewery with a by myself with my computer?
So I just started editing the fluid state interview from last week. That's not very losery At least you have a computer. I just go by myself Though I ordered wrong it's hard to edit neat wings at the same time because your fingers are messy AF
so I only I don't know about you my Best friend has called me like a serial killer before because I I only eat chicken wings with one hand Mm-hmm. I do not do that
and a chick a chicken wing because you need one free hand that is a Yeah for beer for an emergency. Yeah, it's a new fans
Fantasy football guys out you had to hurry up some of it like I mean, yeah You don't be sitting there caught licking your fingers when it's time to know about your fancy football Especially post Cove it if you're caught in public licking your fingers. You're like, I think you're arrested. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
so yeah, I always keep one clean, but when you're editing I really need like two hands to Do yeah, I guess Makes a lot of sense. Yeah, but man it was it was slammed there. It was funny. There is it? I won't mention the name. There was another brewery across the street. This is the green chicken Costa Mesa and
Everybody just Google's green chicken Costa Mesa Google Street View and then looks looks to see what's across the street Look if you want to put the work in you go right ahead
They were not so busy and green chic on the other hand was slammed Somewhat hard to find a table. It was funny So had the food had the beer did the editing and on my way out?
I can need to get a couple four packs I got a four pack of what I'm drinking now, and of course the double that I like so much and Signed to the beer tender and he's like, did you see that dude a few minutes ago? And I was like, oh the guy that had a fucking dolly full of beer and he goes
Yeah, because he tried to buy 30 cases of I don't remember which beer but whatever beer and we just don't have that much I was like 30 cases. Is this some fucking treehouse shit? Like what's going on over here? Yeah. Well, what is that?
He goes apparently he was buying it for his boss. He's got a rich boss that likes beer. Oh my god Fuck I need a different boss, right? Where's my rich boss that likes me? I'll go get you 30 cases if you give me 10%
Right Give me a case. Oh, that'd be awesome. Yeah, so that was kind of funny He's like, yeah, we didn't have enough so he was kind of disappointed But he left with like a bunch of different ones instead and I was like, oh, well good for you, man
Let's sell some shit good for that rich guy good for the yeah drinking some good beer drinking really good beer yeah, that was fun, uh, yeah did that got a nice little buzz on and
Flew my drone around not in that order. So good time. Oh you flew the drone? Yeah Hey, I am a certified part 107 FAA drone pilot. I don't know Wow. Yeah, that sounds really fucking professional
Yeah, you you hard yet or? I'm actually already done Turns out I have the skeleton key Done and cleaned up and put back away
It's a blessing and a curse cuz Boy was that test annoying and now I know all the rules that I'm breaking every time I fly the drone Oh, really? Oh, well, I mean when I'm doing it for work I'm like, I don't break the laws cuz they don't pay me enough to break laws. Okay. Yeah, at least for the most part
Okay. Well, that's good yeah, but like I went to one location that I actually had to get FAA approval for and This is so not part of the show. But uh, so I got it I got the approval and my drone my work drone. I have my personal drone is way better, but my work drone
Thought it was smarter than me was like this is a no-fly zone and wouldn't take off No, motherfucker. I'm trying to look for like some sort of override like I have a crazy I have permission motherfucker, but didn't work out my drones better than your drone
The fighting is like my personal was a fraction of the price and it's way better really I mean it's six years newer Yeah, it's great I love it the work one is old and clunky and not as smart and
Just not as smooth my my personal drones like like butter when you're flying through the skies So anyway, sorry everybody that's somehow still listening. Yeah. No, man, you know, this is
This episode's going everywhere. Yeah, so but no no drinking and droning. Don't you worry FAA. I definitely wasn't doing that Yeah, that's against the rules. Yeah, I was droning. I would assume I would assume
Honestly, I don't know probably I think so gotta be so Yeah, that's pretty much it is a good week drinking some good beers and clean green cheeks. Oh heck. Yeah, man
Yeah, what about you over there flexi? We did I mean few things this past weekend Oh one thing in the weekend we went to this this place called old Germantown
Yeah, believe it or not. It is actually in New new Germantown, but they just called shut up And it's this farm in farm kind of building. It's like a barn and
They brew their own beer. Okay, and Brian our friend from title town. Oh, yeah had informed me that they have all of the old equipment From title town brewing and that's what they use
But they do so they stole it's like yeah, it's a yes top-notch Icing But they have like this nice newer built building With these nice wooden tables. They got like a full bar a whole line of taps. They probably had like
16 to 24 beers on tap damn and then outside there's probably enough seating area for Shoot, I'd say like a hundred twenty hundred fifty people Wow, like just humongous and
We had to wait 90 minutes for our pizzas. Holy shit. Yeah, so like that's how popular authentic German pizzas Right. It's Germantown. It's just the name of a city. I'm you know, they're not actually German
But uh, but yeah, what was kind of nice about it though So it's like a 35 minute drive from us and for us that's an eternity Especially when you're traveling with two kids, you know I don't eat
So then we get there we park and they have the sign like the chalkboard sign out in front of the door and it says Pizza wait time 120 minutes. Oh, at least they weren't, you know, so they warned you right?
So my wife looked back at me and it was like five o'clock So she's like it's kind of early if we order right away, you know, who cares like we're here and I'm like, yeah Whatever like we'll have a couple beers and it'll be fine
So then we get inside because we've never been there before and we're just trying to look around And a lady who works there actually comes up to us and she goes first time here and we're like Yeah, and she goes yeah, I could tell you guys had that look on your face
She goes we're gonna let you but then she goes I just want to let you know if you order a pizza the wait time Right now is running at about an hour and 20 minutes and I thought wow That's really really nice
Like not only do they have the signposted to tell you how long it's gonna be but then somebody comes up to you and says hey Look, this is what's going on Yeah, as opposed to just getting there ordering a pizza and wondering where the fuck your food is, right?
so But apparently don't sleep on their beers because I had their hey, it's not comfortable On it. They were fucking delicious. I had a
double dry hop cashmere IPA and it was Phenomenal dead and then I didn't think the Simcoe one could get better and it was actually better than the cashmere
Mm-hmm, and I'm not a huge Simcoe fan. Yeah, so that Especially a single hub. Yeah. Yeah, and it was double dry hopped. It was great Really knocked my socks off
Lack of better terms and then the pizza finally came 90 minutes later and that again was absolutely Out of this world. I'd love if the pizza came 90 minutes later like it was cold as fuck
It'd been so all right hours. They uh, they do it in this big like brick oven, you know It's like the wood fire brick oven and uh, yeah, I don't know man. It was just so good It was like one of those things where it's like, all right, we ordered some appetizers
We are like the pretzel bites, which were really good to everything was really good here I it was stupid even the french fries were really good. I mean Eagle Park good. Uh, you know, they were good, right?
So then you know by the time the pizza came we're kind of just thinking like alright like we don't care what it is We're gonna eat it and it came we were just like holy shit. This is fucking good pizza. Nice
So Really great time there and then today Monday. It was my first Monday with the kids at school So, you know what that means?
lunchtime lunch beers, baby nice, uh, so naturally Met Tim up at Eagle Park. Yeah, and we had some burgers and some fries and some beers and
in celebration of that I picked up a Varietal pack of IPAs there and it was wonderful wonderful time good laughs good friends and
Boy, I can't wait for next Monday. I Want to come out there on a Monday like if I ever make my way out there I'm gonna make sure Monday is a part of it
Just so yeah, right make it a Monday make sure my kids are in school and we're just gonna go nuts Yeah, it's me the best. Well, since you brought it up, let's just get right into answering some questions Beer is king
Muscles are bigger than growlers Only one tongue can guide us one man one tongue one tongue jobber
In this world, we must find out what is Flex drinking or so that guy who recorded that is just the best
Can I just say that? Yeah, he's pretty great. That is professional. I wish I could do it, right? Yeah, I don't have that kind of voice Shitty Midwest voice that's super Midwest II
super Midwest super Midwest II Well, like you said in celebration of my Monday at Eagle Park. I picked up a variety pack sorry for the awkward segue there and
Today I'm drinking I can go for that hazy IPA and They do some fun Holland Oats themed beers and like the can art is just really funny because it's I mean, right all in oats on a
Beer can cartoonized. It's it's awesome. So this one is brewed with Citra Simcoe and Chinook hops and it says plus three different kinds of oats
Hmm, so I'm the old schnauzer nice Lacey and by the way, oh, it is very nice It's it's not super thick but it definitely hangs on there. It's headed real dirty
Jesus so, you know a little bit of citrus a little bit of like tropical pineapple here on the schnauz Nothing overpowering nice faint aroma. We dig on in there. So it is a great mouthfeel little bits of Citra
Citra citrus Yeah, kind of Nothing too overpowering Not huge notes of anything just good beer. It's a little bit bitter a
Little bit more bitter than you would expect from like a oat IPA like on the finish Yeah, like about halfway through and then like all the way through it's almost as if it was like like a hazy
West Coast Oh or something like that. I don't know it's it's a little bit bizarre, but I mean it's drinkable It's not my favorite by them. But uh Make up for it. Yeah, the French fries make up for it everything else I've ever had from there
made up for it and Cheers to them. Well, I always live trying their stuff and you know, obviously I love stopping there, too So every every once in a while, I actually thought of you today because I ordered oh, never mind. Yeah
Easy pal. I ordered a saison. Oh, that's what you thought of me Fucker I got their Pacifica sunrise saison. I didn't even I didn't even read by a pumpkin beer. I said just let me
Get this. I got a half pour and I'm drinking it. I'm like, wow this tastes familiar tastes really familiar I'm drinking I'm like, ah, you know, you could taste like the oak in there and
Like it was you know aged in oak fooders It's like what the What does that taste like like what fruit like what is that? And then I've read the description and it was aged for like 20 months in white wine barrels
And I was like, yep that tastes like I'm drinking white wine. It was kind of mind-blowing like in a good way Yeah, like mind-blowing like oak aged white wine, but a beer. I don't know. I
heard your Beer it is. Oh now they're all just fine. What's our Farger? but yeah, I thought of you because of the
Saison Mmm, so glad you thought of you and drinking his saison If you ever head up there, you know, we'll drink some saison. Oh, it can't fucking away
My money just got booked on that's the French fries will make up for it. Yeah, I'll just be jamming french fries in my mouth Take the flavor away Now, I do I not like saison. I also don't like white wine
Really? Yeah, I'm a red wine drinker. I think I like white wine more than I like red Oh, call me you be 40 cuz it's all about red red wine. I get it Yeah, was I just didn't know that that was their band name. I think it's you isn't it you be 40?
I I have no idea. I don't think anybody actually knows no, no one should know no, let's see if I was right here Goddamn I was right. Thank you. Wow You be 40 you be like just the letters you be like, yeah, not not
I don't know if you should be proud of that. I'm gonna say not super proud that I do that but Bottom line is I did I knew that brought you. Yeah way to go me. Yeah. All right Let's uh, let's get into a little news flight over here. Oh, hold on before we get to the night. What? Yes, what's your
Sober secret super. Oh man, shoot. So glad I made notes that I almost read. Yeah Okay, so Quick backstory here. So I have a buddy who got married like let's see his kids like five
So six years ago and his wedding was awesome and I drank vodka lemonades all night long I just got fucking wrecked right dance my ass off like 30,000 steps on the dance floor crazy
Thanks for a bit so I got home and Like I had to work the next day. What the fuck am I gonna do? And have you ever heard of? BCAAs
BCAAs amino acids. It's a part of a meal. It's like a workout supplement like a muscle recovery Okay type deal II and I had that at home and I was like, hey, I'm gonna do a shaker of that
Before I go to bed and then hopefully it does something in the morning and I remember feeling really good the next day So today when I went and got my lunch beers, yeah, right. I was feeling a little
Schnockered. Oh and by a little I mean Pretty schnockered feeling pretty good. Like I got Taekwondo duty tonight Oh, I gotta stay up for the Jets game, right and I got the show tonight. I'm like, I can't lose it right now
So I did a scoop of my amino acids and in like 32 ounces of water suck that down in like now 10 minutes Dude, I felt fucking great like 40 minutes later. Oh
Like insanely great like Superman great like Superman great like I wasn't even like buzzed anymore Wow Or should I say Wow Wow?
It was like it was mind-blowing. I don't know I I've never like remembered that before it just hit me today from six years ago. All right Well now I gotta get some stuff people. I'm gonna walk into like GNC or whatever if that even still exists
They were like, yeah, but I don't think you need these you fat tub of like no. No, no, don't worry I'm not working out. It's for my alcohol abuse. I'm telling you it is worth the try I
Swear by it. All right, I'll try it. I'll try anything once or three times try it do it Let me know what you think. All right now I know someone out there is thinking this I'm gonna ask it any chance
That it's just the fact that you drink 32 ounces of water. No because I am a firm believer And I don't think hydration helps with being like putting off
Drunkenness or helps and sobering up. So there's a time this summer. I was doing like a gallon a day for like two months Uh-huh, and a couple of those days. I went out drinking heavily and think I'm like, oh, yeah, you're like you're super hydrated
You know, you shouldn't be as dehydrated after drinking some beers Whatever sure and I woke up the next day and I felt like a bag of dicks Just one bag Yeah, yeah, yeah, it definitely wasn't multiple bags and
so yeah, I don't believe in like the drinking water between beers or staying hydrated before After obviously, it's like a big thing, right? Yeah, so fuck fuck the 32 ounces of water
Yeah water fuck. Yeah, I get no one likes you. Anyways, you don't help you taste like nothing fuck off But the amino acids get on it. All right, I'm gonna go buy them. Hopefully I can buy like a sample size or something
Yeah, I mean, they're they're like one of the cheapest supplements you can even buy perfect Maybe I'll try to GABF where I'm already at having a great time. Maybe we'll see or I'm not. Yeah, who knows?
Maybe just gonna get so drunk that you're just not gonna remember it. It's a good chance. That's what I'm thinking Yeah, it's highly likely three straight days of drinking way too many beers
Yeah at drinking and bringing Erica beers and I seen her I said, I don't know I should be leave her booth. I told her I was like, I'll get you some beers. Don't you worry? That'll make the icing so much easier. Yeah, I gotta you know make up for my chitiness
That's may or may not have already happened if you're listening All right newsflight Fun fact I actually type that fast I
Believe it. Yeah quick type or it's embarrassing. You look like a hundred and twenty seven word minute kind of guy I'm not quite that much. I'm like in the 90s. Oh Wow, yeah, but one of these day break much
I'm not 127. They're down to like 12 Type ever. Yeah. Well, what can you do?
All right anchors union or anchor union I should say anchor as in the brewing brewery that got shut down by Sapporo the Union Their workers are taking the next step in a quest to buy the brewery. We've talked about how they wanted to Sapporo is not
coming forward with information financial information ways to buy it blah blah blah So they started to go fund me and after just a few days they raised almost $90,000 of their $50,000 ball sack. Yeah, so here's the thing. This does not support them buying
Anchor this is just for legal fees to look into how they can buy Anchor back because Sapporo is just not helping at all, which is weird It's like hey, do you want some money for the company you shut down or do you just?
It doesn't make any sense to me doesn't make any sense, it's weird It's super dollars make sense and that doesn't make any sense Exactly. So it must be some sort of weird like tax write-off thing
Like if we just take the hit we can write it all off on taxes or who knows So but the at the recording of this show, they've got almost $90,000 and they say there's still no movement from Sapporo on giving us the financials
But we've been working with project equity and the Tuttle law group on creating a business plan looking toward these zero to five years As well as starting training on how to speak to investors. So
If they get it back, they should make a movie of that like right away Yeah, hopefully they're documenting at least to some extent what's going on because that could be pretty interesting documentary. Oh, absolutely Yeah
Documentary movie whatever. Let's get it done. Yeah Flex sent this over this This is great. You don't gotta credit me on anything, but this is great You should get full credit for this Milwaukee bar to offer free drinks when Aaron Rodgers and the Jets
Bitter much it's brilliant. It's not come on the guys at cock. Can I say that? He's yeah Yeah, absolutely So if you're in flexes hood Jack's American pub in Milwaukee will cover the customers bar tab when Rogers and the Jets lose
this season Yeah, it's all season long it's not just like game one or anything It's yeah season this one's aimed right at beer girl Melissa They're gonna spend a lot of money on free drinks cuz the Jets suck
Yeah, yeah, I don't like the Jets yeah, well I was a play number four Aaron broke it yeah he went down Yeah, yeah, this is Monday night. He went down. Yeah, I'm sure there's more updates by the time this actually drops but
Poor Rogers fucking weirdo Also, who dumps Olivia? What's her name like what a wild Wild right not mud is wild. Oh, yeah. No you're right. It was Olivia Munn. It was mine
All right either either what either Olivia? What the fuck is wrong with you and Rogers? Yeah, I mean she was Psylocke in like the X-Men movie what what yeah, so mad at you so hot all right Onto the full pour here according to bump Williams consulting which is a big consulting firm in the alcohol industry
Bump William bump Williams. Yeah, it's a weird fucking name consumers are paying four dollars more for beer in 2023 as they were in 2019 and that's per case
Damn you Joe Biden Do you guys have out there the stickers on the gas pumps that say like thanks Biden No gas station scraped them off. Yeah, I mean they do
Yeah, but they like I'm just like yeah like he has any fucking controller I might the favorite my favorite ones were like you know that I did this oh Yeah, you know he's pointing up, and he's like I did this yeah my favorite my favorite was I saw one of those and
There was a week It was like a year or two ago We're like gas prices had dipped and it still was there saying I did this and I was like I don't think that's what they Were hoping for when they put that sticker But nice try anyway, so this is measuring cases
This is these categories are weird the premium categories up 15% Craft is up eleven and a half percent import up thirteen point seven percent super premium is up
What does that mean? I don't even know it's like it was premium super premium and craft Super premium must be like the fake fancy beers like Stella Stella. Yeah You're cute for thinking that yeah
Get out of my head Hard seltzer is up thirteen point four percent. I don't know why below premium What is that like Miller light and Coors line shit probably domestic? Yeah up seventeen point two
Flavored malt beverages up thirteen point seven and cider the fuck's drinking that is up eighteen point four percent Eighteen point four percent yeah since 2019 it's up seven and a half dollars a case holy cow
Fuck that holy cow thanks Owen And then speaking of beer financials Bud Light is Still hurting from the whole you know by light thing the numbers a bees volume continues to be down
12% versus the what they're calling the pre controversy trend geez a pre April 1st Their net market share is now at minus thirty six and a half percent versus the 42 percent pre
Controversy, but light volume is down 30% year-over-year But lights net market shares down eight point nine percent down from twelve is down to excuse me down to eight point nine percent down from twelve percent pre controversy and
The beneficiary of all this is Molson Coors as They are growing and they've grown 12% since April 1st when this all went down. Holy Christmas, man Yeah, Coors light so just remember everyone who's boycotting Bud Light for Coors Coors is like the OG when it comes to
Pride and pride cans and pride events I was gonna say they all stand for the same thing Yeah, so but yeah, don't read readings for idiots Yeah people yeah, I found this
Article I don't know how this somebody said something to me about this I was like well I must look it up, and I'm so sorry because I have no memory at all whoever mentioned this Thank you for mentioning because I did a deep dive, but apparently beer
Was considered a soft drink in Russia. I told you that was you okay? Yeah, that was me I was there's either you or Zach OG beer dude. I was like fuck who was I'm gonna sound like such a dick
