Welcome in everybody to the Craft Beer Republic. Thanks for drinking.

Thanks for joining. I am Greg and once again I am

being joined by my lovely wife, Shannon. Hello. Hi.

Still buffer than Flex. Oh, yeah. For sure. Just fucking joke.

Yeah, yeah, but, you know, I always gotta have a buff

person on the show with me. Otherwise it just doesn't feel right.

Yeah, it's a requirement. It is. It's like, uh, written into the

contract or Steph and things. Yeah, totally. Off to a great start.

Uh, find us on the socials. @CraftBeerRepublic.

You can email us email @CraftBeerRepublic. 805538 beer.

All that good stuff. Get uh, get interactive with us or

whatever. Got a lot to get to today. Uh, some booze news to talk about and

some fun we had over the weekend and we got a voicemail from Erica.

You know, I recently read on like a podcasting tips thing that you

shouldn't tell people that you have a lot to get to today at the

part of the show at the beginning of the show. Is that annoying?

It's gonna take a long time. No, I guess because it's kind of

redundant. Like we're here for you as listeners,

like we're we're here to listen. And, uh,

we know you got stuff to get to. Otherwise,

we wouldn't listen to your show. I guess I don't I don't put much

thought to that at all. Yeah, to me, it doesn't really bother

me. Like I hear other people do it. A lot of things bother me when

it comes to podcasting. Like when people say, I personally,

I personally. Yeah, we get it. You just said I, I or mouth noises

or, you know, that sort of thing. Or when they talk to people who

aren't on mic. Yes. Oh my God, nothing kills me.

Or you hear a random laughter in the background, but they don't say,

who the fuck is laughing behind them for no reason whatsoever.

Yep. Yeah. That kind of thing. But to me, it's less about informing

the people listening person that there's a lot to get to.

And it's more about this is how I introduce the quick little summary

of what's on the show today. Yeah. You know, I don't know.

I had not thought about it until you mentioned it.

I'd forgotten about it, but I just read it like yesterday.

So like, oh, yeah, I guess I'm not supposed to say

there's a lot to get to. I don't know. Try it for next time.

See how it rolls. Let me see things we're going to

talk about today. We went to a fun birthday party.

Erica left us a voicemail. Got some crazy booze news to get to.

I don't know, does that feel any better?

No, that feels kind of forced. Yeah. Yeah. We'll work on that.

Anyways, before we work on anything else, let's work on

this beer that's in front of us. I Love My Beer. I Love My Beer.

I Love My Beer. I Love My Beer. Well, since it's definitely been a

week since the last time we recorded, I'm totally cleared to drink now.

We are drinking Bottle Logic Brewing's Stellar Mass 7.5% hazy IPA.

40 IBUs has a 3.9 untapped with almost 1300 ratings.

They say Citra, Simcoe, Amarillo, and Nectarine hops converge to

create a stellar explosion of guava, pineapple and mango aromas that meet

a moderate bitterness, with waves of pine and citrus on the palate.

Let this medium bodied, juicy haze transport you to the

outer reaches of flavor. I picked this up at Total Wine

today on my way home. I was like, ooh, running low on show,

beers in the fridge. Everything in there has already

been drank. And so, uh, went to the singles

aisle of Total Wine, which Flex and I talk a lot of shit

about Total Wine because they don't, like, refrigerate their beers.

Yeah, all that stuff. So. So here we go.

Bottle logic on the schnoz. On the tape. Excuse me?

On the what do you call em? The nose buds. On the nose buds.

Mhm. Words are hard. I get a lot of alcohol.

Yeah I don't get a lot of juice. Like all the fruits they

mentioned I it smells fruity but I can't pick any of them out.

Smells like fruity alcohol to me. Yeah.

Let's go on the old Tongue-jobber. Yeah. I don't know about this one.

Yeah. I mean, I get a lot of heartburn.

Yeah. It's a. Little hot. Yeah, a lot of hot burn.

A little alcohol. Um, I guess as it sort of sits

there for a minute, maybe. I definitely get pine,

but I don't get a lot of fruitiness. Maybe some pineapple. Yeah, some.

Yeah, I was gonna say citrus. I get a lot of citrus on the

mouthfeel, a lot more fruit on the nose.

But again, that fruit is not distinguishable.

It's just insert fruit here. Yeah, you're so much better at

this than I am. The whole nose thing especially,

you know, we talked about this on the show a few weeks ago.

Flex and I did that, um, when we go to beer, like, we've gone to

different festivals where Firestone's doing their sensory panel. Yeah.

And you fucking crush it every time. It's because I don't like a lot

of them. Exactly. But then I said when we did our

black wine tasting, who won that one? You did?

Only because I didn't trust my nose. I had two out of three. Correct.

I still had I just stuck with the nose. I. I talked myself out of it.

So I just found it interesting. I'm more of a beer person.

You're more of a wine person. But then it reminded me of Rachel,

who exclusively judges smoky beers at Gabf because she hates them.

Yeah, and spicy beers. And spicy beers.

So maybe it's that sort of thing. Not that I hate wine.

I very well documented on the show that I am a classy individual and

drink a lot of wine. I like beer. I just there's certain flavors that

are not for me. Yeah. Like drink? Yes. And smoke. Wet. Hey.

Yeah, I can't, I can't do the wet. Hey, anything that involves wet hey

or gym socks in the description, I'm like, why?

Why would you make that as something to put in your mouth. Mhm mhm. What.

Hey, go lick the ground of a barn. This'll be great.

Yeah I some, I won't name this individual.

But after listening to the interview with Jan from OMF

who's a great brewer. Yes. And a great person. Fun to talk to.

But he did mention multiple times how much he loves saisons

and would love to open up like a saison only arm of OMF.

And this person was like and you didn't tell him how disgusting

they are? I was. Like, I'm not gonna tell him

mid-interview and. No, that's his thing.

Although he made some great sours too. Here's the thing.

I will drink the shit out of a sour saison.

Yeah, because you just taste like a sour with maybe, like a little

hint of funk or something in there. But like those old school

fucking farmhouse saisons, they're just not for me.

I don't want to lick the side of a horse. I completely agree.

Yeah. And you like horses? Yeah. Uh, shout out to our top listing

city of last week. And boy, am I going to butcher this.

Cuyahoga falls, Ohio. Oh, I don't know where that is

or why that is. Ohio. Yeah. Uh, but thanks for listening. Yeah.

Great. I guess weird, but thanks. We'll take it. Take what we can get.

Uh, had an eventful week. This is usually where I say, hey,

Flex, do any research or anything. Oh, but we were together.

We were together. So I kind of know what research you

did. Yeah, we had a fun weekend. Uh, big Dick Nick had his

birthday party. Yeah. Which. And this is the part where Flex

always makes fun of me because I go. They call it the taco guy.

And he goes, I can't believe everyone in California has a taco guy.

And like, why the fuck not? He's in my phone book as the

taco guy. I mean, let's be honest,

most of us have the same taco guy. Well, our circle. Of. Trust.

Yeah, we do share taco guy. Well, it's like a family,

but taco siblings or something. Uh, but, yeah, we have the same

taco people, and they're great. And so that was exciting.

Of course, beverages were had, swimming was done.

Some cornhole, some corn. I didn't play any corn. Did you.

Know. Oh I. Watched. Yeah. I watched Nick stumble through

corns to his own admission. He was even saying, like,

I can't even see straight. He had a few beverages. He did? Yeah.

Hung out with Kevin Patty a lot. Who was our trivia host's.

Quizmaster. Quiz? What did we. We came up with a name for Kevin.

Didn't we like trivia, God or something to do with God in it?

Yeah, I'll have to remember that. I'm sure that'll never happen.

We also had a great place where they could go host trivia and

couldn't remember. We do a lot of drunk thinking.

Yeah, this happened with Deb and Brian.

We were talking about, oh, they should go do trivia at this

place. But we were hammered. And when we sober up, we're like,

what place were we talking about? We still cannot figure it out.

It's been at least a month. Yeah. We cannot figure it out.

So, uh. But anyways. Yeah, had a lot, a lot of people

there had a good time. Um,

I drank a ton of seltzers that day. Same when it's all day drinking and

I'm already cheating on the food. It was also 95 degrees.

95 I think it was more. It was Simi Valley, which is always

like ten degrees hotter than here. Yeah, I think it was pushing 100.

And, uh, I just I needed something a little lighter on the tum tums.

Um. So. But, uh. Sorry. Sorry to all you beer lovers a

lot of topo chicos that day. They were delicious.

Strawberry guava man. That's where it's at. It is the best.

That pineapple can fucking kick rocks. It is garbage.

Hey, you ever wanted to drink carbonated pineapple juice?

Me neither. No, no. It's garbage. Uh, and then also last weekend,

uh, Erica and co did a little beer babes release party up in her hood.

I know it looked like they had a really good time.

Looked like a blast. Uh, Rachel brews with Bukowski.

I'm gonna butcher that, uh, tiff. It's hoppy. Vanessa.

Hi, Vanessa. Hi, Vanessa. And a couple others were there for

it. It was actually a seltzer. It was like a purply looking seltzer.

Mhm. So. Oh, she should send you some.

That would be amazing. Hey, Erica. Hint hint hint hint.

She will too. You're so mean. Uh, but anyways,

they got real hams and called in and left us a voicemail.

Let's see if we can understand what they're saying. Hello?

No one is available to take your call.

Please leave a message after the tone. It's like a King Kong Brewing.

Okay. Hi, Greg and Flex. It's Erica, also from the Craft

Beer Republic, and I got all my favorite people with me.

So we wanted to say hi because we're having a good time on hey

hey hey hey. A good, good time. There's no other way to explain it.

Um, okay, so I got my sister in law, Tiffany, who's my get out of jail

free card attorney extraordinaire. Hey, girl. Hey.

I have called this next one to the other Tiffany from SoCal.

She's our SoCal sunshine, baby. Your one and only poppy goddess.

Hi, babe. Yes. Hi. Neighbor. Christina.

She's a realtor extraordinaire and just a badass bitch. Hi, Christina.

And you know the real vixen because we say hi to her on

every single episode. Vanessa. Hi, Vanessa. Everybody say hi.

Vanessa. Hi. Hi. Hi, Vanessa. You don't gotta do it this time.

And Rachel, who's a legend that. Seriously, everyone came out to the

big release day because Rachel was going to be there with Hot Cheetos.

Flaming fireball of all that, I can't even explain her in,

like a short time. Egyptologists like about to be a

master cicerone. There's all the things.

And, um, museum curator, I don't know,

but she's just freaking awesome. I'm trying to get some time.

Hi, Rachel. Howdy. Hello. Love this girl. Tennesseans.

Cheeto. Cheeto. And. We had other ladies here,

but they're not here. Like, hi. I don't know how to introduce myself,

but it's me. Erica. Hi. So good to talk to you guys.

Can we all say goodbye to the crocodiles?

You're here by weird fiction. Beer, babes.

You all wish you were here. But you're not. You suck.

Goodbye. So harsh. I know that was an abrupt ending.

Yeah. Very mean at the end, though. Yeah. Hurt my feelings.

Uh, well, it sounds. Sounds like drinks were had.

Yeah, I know Erica woke up Monday. Uh, not feeling amazing. Oh, sure.

After tons and tons of drinking, and. I can't say I'm surprised. Yeah.

I mean, she had to keep up with a lot of heavyweights in the

drinking category. For sure. Yeah, they can all hold their own.

We've had drinks with most of the people in that call.

Yeah, they know how to fucking do it, as does Erica.

So sounds like a good time. Thanks for, uh,

checking in with whatever that was. Yeah. 805538 beer. 2337.

Call it get drunk, drunk, drunk. Dial us and express your love

for us or something. We're way better than, like,

calling your ex-girlfriend. Well, I can guarantee that that

call was after she iced everyone. Oh, yeah.

God, we should have her on to talk about that. You should. She was.

I don't know if we should spill her secrets, but she was kind of

talking to to us and Nicole and Deb and stuff, and, like,

how am I gonna ice all the girls? And I think you ended up coming

up with the final plot. I did,

which was I made a recommendation to hide it in the little welcome

visitor basket on their beds. I just love that she was doing

welcome visitor baskets. I mean, it's amazing.

I was like, that's something I would never do.

Because, I mean, the whole icing in the basket thing,

that means I'd have to put effort into people coming over.

Well, you think like, visitors don't know where the towels are.

You know where to get water. Yes, I love it.

If anybody is a fan of Marc Maron, his his bit about staying at

someone else's house is fantastic. Yes. It's amazing. Go watch. It.

You should absolutely watch. Uh, yeah.

So I wouldn't have thought I did on the side.

Tell Erica our ice situation at the house.

But I did on the side because she's not someone likely to

enter our household. I guess. But, you know, you you you just

give that little seed out there. And I told her she can't tell

anybody. She better not. She better not.

Because it is kind of genius, though. Yet to work.

Yeah, so maybe not genius maybe. Or people just aren't being

honest or right. Yeah. Or people have found it and they're

not admitting it. Could be. We need to put a camera where

it's at. Okay. Might be some legal challenges with

that. Possibly. Or something. Yeah. How do we enforce that if we're not

there? A glitter bomb? Oh, God. No. I don't know if people know this.

There is a hard rule in this house as set by me. No fucking glitter.

Like, doesn't enter the house. Doesn't know all birthday cards

are to be inspected outside in case there are glitter,

there are glitter, there is glitter, there are glitters. What is it?

The the herpes of the craft world. The herpes of the craft world.

Yes, it's the fucking aids of the craft world. What are we?

Who are we kidding? It's awful. Awful? It is the fucking worst.

Er, anyways, if I haven't said it already.

800 553. Beer. Give us a call. Leave us a voicemail when you're

drunk. Uh, Ludacris. Libation law. This one comes to us from the

state of Illinois, where they prohibit happy hour.

No, they're one of those states. Well, we're never going to Illinois.

Well, what about Chicago? I know I really love Chicago.

I want to go back. And I've never been.

But happy hour is one of my favorite things. Yeah.

How many happy hours did we hit when we're in Denver?

Like all of them daily happy hours? Yes.

There's nothing better in life than a fantastic happy hour.

Cheap snacks, cheap drinks. It's a great way to test out a

restaurant. Yeah, especially a fancier

restaurant. Yeah, yeah. Just, you know, have a couple snacks

on the cheap and then go. All right. Maybe I'll come back here next week.

Yeah. Chat up the bartender, find out

what the good appetizers are. Yeah. It's the way to go. Yeah.

So suck it. Illinois. Yeah. I don't even know why. There's, like.

Massachusetts is one of them, too. So weird.

In fact, they put something on the ballot recently in Massachusetts.

To bring it back, and. It was struck down. What?

Yeah, maybe it wasn't the ballot. Maybe it was like a House bill.

I don't think it was voted on. Okay. But either way, still sucks, in fact.

Bring it back to last week's episode. Remember when we were at Odell's

taproom and we were talking to that couple from Boston? Yes.

Him and I were talking about that. Oh, I vaguely.

How just fucking stupid it is that they won't allow it.

They think it curtails drunk driving if they don't have happy hour.

Interesting. So people just overindulge.

But to their thinking, they only overindulge if it's $2 off.

Yeah, they won't overindulge at full price. I would think they would.

It's not so much. It's not like you're handing out

free drinks all of a sudden. So I don't get it.

And sometimes we will just go out for happy hour to get a drink or

two and then go home or go on to the next activity. We don't.

It's not like we have happy hour and then stay at the restaurant

for a full meal. Right. Yeah. Just check it out and move on. Yeah.

Go do what we're gonna do, you know, go axe throwing after,

you know, whatever it is. Who knows? Yeah. Yeah.

Really dumb. A little booze news. According to polls,

record low 54% of us adults are drinking alcoholic beverages.

Percentage of Americans who say they drink alcoholic beverages has fallen

to the lowest point, 54%, in the history of Gallup's annual survey

tracking drinking patterns of adults. The firm said the decline comes

amid a growing belief among Americans that moderate alcohol

consumption is bad for one's health. Now, the majority view for the first

time, the findings were part of Gallup's Consumption Habits Poll,

a telephone survey of 1002 adults aged 18 and up,

taken July 7th to July 21st. The survey's results have a

margin of error of plus or -4%, from 97 to 2023,

at least 60% of US citizens reported consuming alcoholic beverages.

However, the percentage declined from 63% in 2023 to 58in 2024

before reaching 54 in 2025. Those figures were down from highs of

between 68 and 71% from 1974 to 1981. The previous low was 55% in 1958.

Hmhmhm A I've never known anyone who has participated in one of

these polls. Well, they only polled 1002 people.

Very specific. Extremely specific, but never once.

Every time they talk about polls, I'm like, do I know anyone who

has been polled? Mhm. So that's always a weird one for me.

I know some. People who write,

I know there is a trend to. Yeah I mean we see it just in the,

the drinking not the drinking but the stats of breweries

closing and that sort of thing. There's a lot more mocktails on

menus, a lot more kombucha alternative drinks. Yeah.

Hey, you want all the calories and carbs, but none of the buzz.

Yeah. Have a mocktail. I don't I don't understand a

mocktail. It's not for me. I would rather just have.

Yeah, an iced tea or something. Yeah. It's weird.

Boy, do I want the taste of alcohol without the benefits.

But isn't that, like a big thing in Utah, where they have, like,

bars that serve juice? Well, that's the stupid Mormons,

though. It's. It's because they can't drink. Yeah.

So they kind of, like, fudge it. But people, you know, are looking

for that going out entertainment. They want to feel like they're

part of the party. So they have a mocktail.

Have a Diet Coke. Sure. I don't know, just I don't get it.

I don't either I don't buy them. But I understand not drinking.

I don't understand drinking in a beer or mocktails. Or maybe.

Maybe I'm just an old curmudgeon or something.

It's just, I don't know. Yeah. I mean, I think our group, our,

our friends are all into beer and wine and all those things,

so we would never well, not never, but it's just not our jam.

I just if I'm not drinking that day, you know, give me a bubbly water or

a Diet Coke or something normal. Don't give me all the same sugar

and calories without the fun. Yeah. Why would you have a gummy without

the weed in it? That's just gummy. I wonder if there's a trend in

recreational marijuana use going up. So there is, but not at the same

pace. Interesting. Slightly. It's not significant from some

of the stuff I've read recently. Yeah. Who knows?

Uh, speaking of beer, your beer prices at home are

going to be going up. More bad news for those four packs

that you're taking a risk on. Uh, can ends and lids just got

slapped with new tariffs. Not the can body ends and lids.

The US Department of Commerce just added those crucial little aluminum

pieces to a long list of products now facing section 232 tariffs.

That kicks in on. Oh, well. Kicked in on August 18th.

If section 232 sounds familiar, that's because it dates back to 2018.

It left Brewers mostly unaffected at the time thanks to some exemptions,

but now not so much. The Brewers Association says the

change could mean higher packaging costs and a whole lot

more supply chain headaches. Uh, so yeah, your brewery's six

pack might cost them more, which could eventually cost you more.

Their advice? Brewers should chat with their

suppliers ASAP to figure out what this means for their packaging game.

Fun fact or less than fun fact, over 400 items were added to the

updated tariff list, including bulldozers, wind turbines,

and now beer can lids. Uh, so that's right,

your double IPA is getting taxed like construction equipment,

huh? Weird. No bueno. See? Do you want more nutrition facts

on alcohol? Like it has vitamin C? Yeah. You know, like calories.

And I would appreciate knowing calories on a beer. Maybe.

I don't want to know. It's probably the case. Yeah.

Uh, the TTB is stirring up the beverage world again.

They proposed new rules that would make wine, spirits and beer companies

list alcohol facts like calories and ABV and major allergens on labels if

their products cross state lines. Sounds kind of helpful, right?

Most trade groups actually support the idea in theory,

but they're not loving the five year timeline to make it happen.

And they especially want small producers like your favorite tiny

taproom to maybe get a pass. So here's where it gets juicy.

The Brewers Association and the Beer Institute both chimed in

with feedback. They usually agree on stuff like

transparency, but this time they butted heads

on a few on a few things. They both hate the term alcohol facts

and prefer the classic serving facts. They also think putting the

amount of pure ethyl alcohol on labels would just confuse people.

But where they differ, the Bai is more worried about how

much this will stress out producers, especially the smaller ones.

The BA is a bit more chill on that. They also disagreed on whether

labels should be allowed to have a wider margin of error in

calorie and ABV numbers. Long story short, labels are

about to get more complicated, and the beer world's deciding

how nerdy we want them to be. Yeah, I don't know. I see both sides.

Yeah, I don't think you should say ethyl alcohol. That's.

Yeah, I don't misleading. Sounds like you're drinking.

Rubbing alcohol. Just say ABV. People know what that means.

We're used to that. I could see calories or approximate

calories. I could see allergens. Although typically in the

description you can determine. Sure. A lot of allergens.

If it says toasted coconut. Yeah, there's probably toasted

coconut in there. Yeah. Yeah. Agreed. Or walnuts. Cocoa nibs. Cocoa nibs.

What's wrong with cocoa nibs? That's just chocolate.

Well, if people are allergic to chocolate, fucking weirdos.

Like coconut. Yeah. Fucking weirdos. Huh? Walnuts. Weirdos.

American craft beer. Hall of fame. You know, there was a Hall of

fame for craft beer. I did. Not. Yeah. It's new.

Is inducting landmark craft beers to honor iconic creations.

The American Craft Beer Hall of Fame announced its inaugural class of

inductees in February this year. That was Fred Eckert, Charles

and Rose Ann Finkel, Bert Grant, Ken Grossman, Michael Jackson.

Not that Michael Jackson who? Jim COC coach.

I don't know Sam Adams guy. Oh, yeah. Fritz. Maytag.

Jack McAuliffe. Jane Zimmerman. Suzy stern and Charlie Papazian.

But they've added five foundational brews as voted on

by the Hall's distinguished group of electors and advisors.

Any guesses as to what beers might make the inaugural Hall of

Fame class? Hmm. Sierra Nevada pale ale. At the top.

Yeah, yeah. Any other guesses? Um, probably Sam Adams. Boston lager.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's three more. You want to just keep going?

Uh oh. I don't know. This. This is where it gets more difficult.

Some of the names should be hints. So Anchor Liberty Ale,

an early IPA from anchor. Yeah. Celis white, which is a wet a

witbier a revival of a nearly extinct Belgian style that brought

traditional wheat beer to American craft drinkers. I've never.

I don't think I've ever had it. I don't think I've even heard of it.

And then, uh, this one should be no surprise.

Anchor steam. Oh, yeah. Mhm. Resurrection of a truly American

beer style. One that helped define the image

and concept of craft beer. Craft beer for decades to come.

Two out of five ain't bad. It's all right. Yeah.

Uh, are you a soup fan? Soup like hot soup. Yeah.

Like the food? Um. I don't dislike it.

Are you a PBR fan? Oh, I don't like where this is going.

Just answer the question. I mean, sure, in college,

I drank a lot of PBR. So I've heard. Well, good news for you, then.

Oh, yay! Campbell's chunky and PBR collaborate

on two beer infused soup flavors. Ooh!

I don't think I ever want to hear chunky and PBR together in

a sentence ever again. I've had a couple nights where

there was chunky and PBR. Uh, now, thanks to Campbell's

Chunky and PBR, you can have your beer and eat it too.

Just in time for soup and football season.

I did not know those went together. Yeah.

I don't think of like, hey, let's watch the Niners and eat

chicken noodle soup. Fucking weird. The brands have teamed up to

create two beer infused soup flavors that aim to bring together

the craveability of chunky and the smooth taste of PBR. No.

Both of those sound. Who wrote that sentence? I did not.

Uh, the two flavors include beer, cheese with potatoes and chorizo

soup. I mean, that's not a stretch. Fine. Right. I mean, that, in theory.

Sounds pretty delicious, actually. I just wasn't I wish it wasn't coming

from these two companies. Right. Uh, and then beef, bacon and beer.

Chili with beans. Also not. I mean,

people put beer in their chili. This. Absolutely. This isn't a stretch.

The flavors are just a little weird. It's just the the collab is weird.

Yeah. And I don't want PBR in my foods.

Or chunky and beer together. Ever. Yeah, it's a bad name.

This should surprise no one, but the soup flavors will be available

exclusively at Walmart. Oh. Yeah. That tracks both in stores and

online beginning later this month. As part of the launch,

and PBR are also embarking on a food truck sampling tour at

Walmart stores across the US beginning September 3rd.

Do you know where I always go when I want to try a new food truck?

Walmart. Yeah, that is the spot, guys.

It's where I go when I want to eat food of any type. Sure.

Definitely the cleanest place I can think of with the most normal people

walking around. Yeah. This isn't. I don't think they've thought this

through. This isn't going to go well. It's going to be people demanding,

like full bowls of soup and tipping over food trucks and.

Yeah, possibly. Yeah. Sounds awful. We should end it on this one.

Do you need to update your wardrobe? Sure. Always shopping. Yeah.

Shopping. You know, feeling like you're a

little dull. Maybe you need to spice. Not spice, but spruce things up in

the closet. Sure, sure. Good news. Cause has a new clothing line.

Oh. All right. Cause banquet is the bright spot in

Molson Coors portfolio and received the type of organic rub brand leaders

dream of when RIP Beth and John Dutton kicked back the stubby bottles

on the hit TV show Yellowstone. Molson Coors latest attempt to

tap into Western culture is via co-branded clothing line with

Wrangler. Are you ready for a Coors Canadian

tuxedo? Am I? Yeah. Yeah. We're talking Coors denim vests

and jackets. I thought it was just gonna be

like t shirts. Nope. You can already get Coors t shirts.

Yeah. I was like,

we have friends who would. Absolutely. I mean, Coors Banquet, I.

Think Nicole has a couple shirts. Yeah. For sure. Uh, Jean.

So, yeah. Canadian tuxedo baby. They're teaming up with Wrangler.

I've seen some of the items. Okay, when you think of Coors

and Wrangler together, it's exactly what you're thinking of.

Is it embroidered? There is some embroidery.

I think I think it's, you know, they sewed the. Yeah, yeah.

Cause logo on. Yeah. Okay. It's like, uh,

cowboy Coors something. I mean, I don't wear a lot of cowgirl

gear in general, so I'm probably not the target audience, but I know

that beer merch tends to sell. It depends. What's the price point?

I bet we can look that up. Is it sold at Walmart? Guaranteed.

Right next to the chunky beer soup. Oh, God. Here we go.

Wrangler and Coors. Wrangler jeans. Coors beer.

Oh, here's a 15% off coupon. Woot! And free shipping, babe. Oh my God.

It cost us money not to buy. Some of this.

The model has a nice butt. Hmm. Now I kind of want to buy it.

Uh. All right. Wrangler slash vest has, I guess,

embroidered Wrangler jeans. Cause beer on the back.

What would you theoretically pay for this?

I mean, I would never buy it, so. But I know that jean items are more

expensive, so we'll say 125. Okay. I'd spend a little more because

the model has a nice butt, but actually you're way over 80 bucks.

Oh, okay. Pleasantly surprised. Yeah. So maybe it's not actually

embroidered. Maybe not. Maybe it's just meant to look

embroidered. Hmm. Here's a Wrangler cause.

Western jacket. So full sleeves with some with a

cause patch on there. Honestly, that's a better

looking clothing item. That's a hundred bucks.

There's another full jacket. That's 125.

Okay, so I'm like, right around the price point. Yeah.

Uh, that seems to be the most expensive item, actually.

Um, there's. Is there a hat? There's gotta be a hat.

Everyone's wearing a hat in these photos. There's a trucker hat.

That's not what I'm looking for. By the way, 30 bucks for a trucker

hat. I mean, people will buy it. You know they will. Yeah. Hard path.

Got a $25 hat rule. I know. Used to be 20, but, you know.

Tariffs and stuff. Inflation. Yeah. Yeah.

So that jacket for 125 is the most expensive item.

And look if I give my email address we get 15% off and free shipping.

So I think we're missing out. Okay. We should do. It. Go for it, babe.

Okay. Ordered. Be here next week. You have to post a photo on the gram.

Yeah. It's gonna look really good. Everybody's gonna be real excited

to see it. So jealous. So jealous. I mean,

I'm gonna look fucking fantastic. I'm gonna have to start wearing

my ring cause the chicks are just gonna be clinging. Sure. Yeah.

It's gonna be hard to fight them off. Mhm. Back, wench. Back. No.

Just what women want to hear. Back, wench.

Yeah, it's kind of what I said. Uh huh.

That's how I get him off of me. Anyways, this is going well. Uh.

All right, let's close things out. Let's hit a little music.
