We're such self shitters. 23 00:01:46,130 --> 00:01:48,970 Uh, I have a model that hangs above my front door that just 24 00:01:48,970 --> 00:01:52,770 says expect less. So Shitters would imply that 25 00:01:52,770 --> 00:01:55,450 from Walmart. I just want to let you know that. 26 00:01:55,490 --> 00:01:59,710 Oh, well. Know myself from Walmart.

I sat on my hood ish. 35 00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:36,550 Sounds like a vista pool. Okay. You mean beach? Vista beach? Yeah. 36 00:02:36,710 --> 00:02:44,910 Playa piscina is pool. Damn it! Yeah. It's fine, it's fine. 37 00:02:44,950 --> 00:02:49,590 It's down near LAX. So lax. Black. What? Up down there? 38 00:02:49,790 --> 00:02:53,510 Uh, so what you get today? What is that happening in 39 00:02:53,510 --> 00:02:56,240 Fayetteville? I had to get a win right there. 40 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,360 Chuckle the clown over there. Yeah. How'd that work out for you, Sheena? 41 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:08,120 Uh, stay tuned for your Spanish lesson by Senor Flex coming up later. 42 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,160 Uh, all right, before we get into anything, let's 43 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:15,080 let's ask some important questions. In a world where craft beer is king. 44 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,680 A world where muscles are bigger than growlers. 45 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,800 Only one tongue can guide us. One man, one tongue, 46 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:30,080 one Tongue-jobber. In this world, we must find out 47 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:36,960 what is flax drinking? So here's a terrible story. Oh. 48 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:45,240 Another one. It's all I have. Um. Well, so I didn't want to do this, 49 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,160 but I like doing it. And Greg loves that. 50 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,720 I do my favorite. I take my kids beer shopping with me 51 00:03:53,020 --> 00:03:59,860 Mm. To the local, uh, liquor market. And, uh, they like picking out fun 52 00:03:59,860 --> 00:04:03,980 beers with fun canard and fun names. And there's this beer that I've 53 00:04:03,980 --> 00:04:07,300 been putting off for weeks now. Some would say months. 54 00:04:08,060 --> 00:04:13,220 Wait, how long has it been in your possession? Oh. A day. Oh, okay. 55 00:04:13,260 --> 00:04:17,460 Yeah. Like I finally like in. Yeah. I finally bit the bullet today. 56 00:04:17,460 --> 00:04:21,140 Gave in, and, uh. My youngest daughter, she's eight. 57 00:04:21,340 --> 00:04:25,700 Uh, she saw this beer. She's 32. I hate that she can read now. 58 00:04:26,380 --> 00:04:30,860 Oh, damn. Damn. Kids are too smart. I tried so hard to keep that 59 00:04:30,860 --> 00:04:34,100 from happening. Yeah. She saw this can, 60 00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:41,460 and it was called Teddy Bear Kisses. And it has this really kind of 61 00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:44,380 adorable teddy bear. And he's got some rips and he's 62 00:04:44,380 --> 00:04:47,060 sewn up a little bit. I don't know if you can really 63 00:04:47,060 --> 00:04:49,700 see it. Oh, a little bit, but it's pretty. 64 00:04:49,700 --> 00:04:53,190 It's pretty adorable. Why is writing so evil, though? 65 00:04:53,390 --> 00:04:55,710 You know, because he's like, uh, maybe he's like an evil teddy bear. 66 00:04:55,750 --> 00:04:58,790 I don't know. See? No, not even an eyeball. 67 00:04:58,830 --> 00:05:01,630 He's got some claws. I've never seen a teddy bear claws. 68 00:05:01,830 --> 00:05:06,750 This is a beer I don't normally get because I'm a haze boy. 69 00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:10,830 Greg knows this. Yeah. You are. Uh, this is a big, bad, uh, 70 00:05:10,830 --> 00:05:16,310 bourbon barrel aged imperial stout with cacao and hazelnut extract. 71 00:05:16,470 --> 00:05:22,030 Oh, that'd be. Awesome. Um, I guess I don't know. 72 00:05:22,230 --> 00:05:25,390 I just want someone to brew a real sugary beer and just name it Wilford 73 00:05:25,390 --> 00:05:31,510 Brimley. Yeah, with tons of oats. How old was he? 85. 88? 74 00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:34,270 Yeah, we looked at. I was like, 80. I was gonna say seven. 75 00:05:34,270 --> 00:05:37,150 So somewhere in there? Yeah. He lived here in Utah. 76 00:05:37,470 --> 00:05:42,190 He was a Utah boy. Oh, damn. But we decided that I'm gonna get, 77 00:05:42,430 --> 00:05:46,830 uh, diabetes because you live long. Called it. 78 00:05:46,830 --> 00:05:50,400 You pronounce it incorrectly. I'm sorry. Uh, back to the beer. 79 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:56,600 Um, so I had looked up the wrong beer earlier. This is from Upland Brewing. 80 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,400 Brew brewing? Upland Brewing company. Not to be confused with Downland 81 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,920 Brewing Company. And they're out of Bloomington, 82 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,800 Indiana. So some Midwest shit. Uh, Zach should be psyched about 83 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,640 this. Hey, Zach. Uh, ten. Oh. I'm sorry. 12% ABV. 84 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:21,200 I definitely looked up the wrong beer. It's 12%. Uh, 5000 check ins. 85 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:26,480 406 on the. Uh. Oh overall. Yeah. So I looked up the wrong beer, 86 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,400 I told you. Three. Eight. Five. Yeah, the wrong beer on tap reads. 87 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,760 You're the worst. Right, man? We. We made our teddy bear kisses 88 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,320 Imperial stout even more cuddly on the palate by aging it on 89 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,520 bourbon barrels for six months, imparting hints of bourbon. 90 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:51,060 The aroma is a burst of dark chocolate with tinges of roasted malt 91 00:06:51,060 --> 00:06:56,180 and rich molasses, as well as oak, vanilla and English toffee. 92 00:06:56,660 --> 00:07:00,620 Slightly sweet with bold chocolate and dark caramel flavours, which 93 00:07:00,620 --> 00:07:05,260 are complemented by subtle hints of fruit that evolve from additions of 94 00:07:05,260 --> 00:07:10,740 caramel malt and molasses molasses. It's just like you should say, 95 00:07:10,740 --> 00:07:15,140 molasses. So on the nose here. Mm. Very sweet. Very sugary. 96 00:07:15,180 --> 00:07:18,580 It's like a like a chocolate shake. So what I smell chocolate shake. 97 00:07:18,620 --> 00:07:20,820 This does not look like a chocolate shake. It's pretty black. 98 00:07:20,860 --> 00:07:24,180 The old Tongue-jobber here. Didn't warm it up as much as it 99 00:07:24,180 --> 00:07:30,020 did last week. No, no. It's good. It's nice when you squish it. 100 00:07:30,140 --> 00:07:33,020 That's all. Yeah. That's good. I didn't swish it. 101 00:07:33,060 --> 00:07:36,420 You don't like swishing? Stouts for sure. I didn't swish. 102 00:07:36,420 --> 00:07:41,380 It. I didn't mean to swish it. It'll be exactly like you just did. 103 00:07:41,420 --> 00:07:45,660 So go ahead. But I didn't. Switch it, so, um, I don't know. 104 00:07:45,670 --> 00:07:51,190 It's, uh. It's like picking on me again. 105 00:07:52,310 --> 00:07:54,590 Well, but I didn't switch it, so I don't know why she's saying 106 00:07:54,590 --> 00:07:59,150 I switched it because I didn't switch it. So she's just wrong. 107 00:07:59,270 --> 00:08:03,430 It's. It's stupid. It is. She sounds stupid because she's 108 00:08:03,430 --> 00:08:09,230 saying I did something that I didn't, and it's stupid. I'm sorry. 109 00:08:09,230 --> 00:08:11,670 I apologize for noticing that you switched it. 110 00:08:13,670 --> 00:08:16,230 I'm not even gonna switch it now, because I'm not going to give you the 111 00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:19,590 satisfaction of switching because I. Didn't do it. You can stop yourself. 112 00:08:19,790 --> 00:08:21,950 It was a big sip. That's what it was. It was a big sip. 113 00:08:22,510 --> 00:08:24,950 And I expelled the error from the big sip. All right. 114 00:08:25,470 --> 00:08:28,230 So maybe that looked like I switched it, but I just expelled 115 00:08:28,230 --> 00:08:30,870 the air from the big sip because my cheeks got big and I went. 116 00:08:31,910 --> 00:08:38,830 Oh. That looks like a swish. Anyway, how's that beer? It's good. 117 00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:43,390 It's it's a it's a it's a it's a good beer. I guess it's like, uh, sweet. 118 00:08:43,390 --> 00:08:47,170 It's chocolatey. Um, if there's any kind of, 119 00:08:47,210 --> 00:08:50,210 like, fruit notes, it's like, uh, figs or some shit. 120 00:08:50,250 --> 00:08:54,490 I would think, like, sweeter, sweeter, uh, fruit. 121 00:08:54,530 --> 00:08:57,810 Uh, maybe a little hints of caramel on the back end. 122 00:08:58,010 --> 00:09:01,970 I don't get a lot of oak. Um. It's probably for the best. Yeah. 123 00:09:02,010 --> 00:09:04,570 Let me just, I don't know, one more time. Just one. More. 124 00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:12,730 Just a regular sip, as I. Say. Sapped before seeing. Sap. 125 00:09:12,730 --> 00:09:17,010 That's one. Sap sucked. I said that to be funny. Shut up. 126 00:09:26,050 --> 00:09:30,570 Did you see it? Did you see? Switched it. Total switch. 127 00:09:30,970 --> 00:09:38,930 There was no. How do you guys drink? Not like. That. That's how I did it. 128 00:09:43,260 --> 00:09:46,540 All this is being cut out. You know. This is my two week notice. 129 00:09:48,140 --> 00:09:51,180 She wouldn't even be here in two weeks. I'm done. Neither will I. 130 00:09:53,900 --> 00:09:58,580 It's just bullshit. I'm sorry. I try not to be hated everywhere 131 00:09:58,580 --> 00:10:02,100 I go. It's failing. It's a fine beer for people who 132 00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:05,700 like big, uh, big stouts. It's good. It's not boozy at all. 133 00:10:05,940 --> 00:10:11,340 I guess that's the big shock for a 12%. That is shocking. Shocked. 134 00:10:13,940 --> 00:10:17,420 Shocked. Uh, yeah, but it's good. It's good. 135 00:10:17,900 --> 00:10:22,260 So I guess I never even heard of upland. Well, good job, Flex's kids. 136 00:10:22,660 --> 00:10:28,340 Yeah, thanks. Uh, daughter. Daughter number two. Yeah. 137 00:10:28,460 --> 00:10:29,900 Uh, anyways. All right, let's let's talk 138 00:10:29,900 --> 00:10:33,500 about some some drinking. Yeah. I feel like whenever Stetson is 139 00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:36,620 when I talk most about, like, my classy wine drunk. 140 00:10:37,620 --> 00:10:40,180 I don't know why. True. I mean, I talk about it here and 141 00:10:40,180 --> 00:10:43,480 there, but, like stepson. It's a it's a weekly occurrence. 142 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,200 Oh, see, it's not just me. Why am I getting blamed for things 143 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,120 like I'm Flex or something? I'm just trying to not make you feel 144 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:55,360 special. Ouch. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Did you stub your toe? Yeah. 145 00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,040 That was my thumb. That was real. That was mean. Yeah. 146 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,840 But you probably swished it. Uh, we had our wine pickup party 147 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,080 that I told Flex. I told you what was going to happen. 148 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:08,680 Where? It's in Malibu, 149 00:11:08,680 --> 00:11:11,800 overlooking the water. Yes. You sent me pictures. Yeah. 150 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,640 Wine pickup party with tacos and beach view. It's fantastic. 151 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,920 Uh, got pretty hydrated. Nah, it's a great tacos. Good time. 152 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,680 I was just going to ask. Super solid taco guy. Yeah. 153 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,520 I mean, we talked about before. They have a great taco person, 154 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,080 and we contacted the taco person because they're so good. 155 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,280 We cannot afford their taco person. We're keeping our taco person. 156 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,010 Steph, do you have a taco person? Like, personally? Yeah. 157 00:11:39,370 --> 00:11:42,170 Just for myself. But like, whenever we have a 158 00:11:42,170 --> 00:11:44,890 party that needs tacos, we have a taco guy that we call. 159 00:11:45,050 --> 00:11:47,650 So they come over and they make fresh tacos. 160 00:11:47,690 --> 00:11:50,970 This has to be a California thing. That's are called immigrants. 161 00:11:54,810 --> 00:11:59,250 We pay them handsomely. No, we I mean, we have lots of, 162 00:11:59,290 --> 00:12:03,610 like, taco trucks and taco stands by we've never seen. 163 00:12:03,730 --> 00:12:05,730 It's weird that I have a taco guy is my phone. 164 00:12:05,970 --> 00:12:11,410 Is weird because he's very strange. Every person he knows has a taco guy. 165 00:12:11,450 --> 00:12:13,770 How many people do you know? Like six. 166 00:12:14,050 --> 00:12:15,570 Okay, well, I don't have a lot of friends. 167 00:12:15,610 --> 00:12:19,130 Well, it's. A. Lot of tacos. Flex. And I don't have a taco guy, so. 168 00:12:19,170 --> 00:12:22,250 No, I don't want his number. He's really good. Very affordable. 169 00:12:22,290 --> 00:12:26,970 Third of your friends don't have a taco guy. You're missing out. 170 00:12:27,130 --> 00:12:30,450 No, I have friends who make great tacos because I live close 171 00:12:30,450 --> 00:12:33,530 to the southern. I mean, you're in California, 172 00:12:33,530 --> 00:12:36,050 you have great Mexican food. But, yes, the best. 173 00:12:36,450 --> 00:12:39,260 I don't have a taco guy. Oh. All right, we'll have a taco. 174 00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:44,380 And our wine owners, people have a taco person. And, uh. 175 00:12:44,420 --> 00:12:46,740 I would expect wine owners to have a taco. Person. Yeah. 176 00:12:46,780 --> 00:12:48,980 I mean, they live in Malibu. Expect them to have, like. 177 00:12:49,140 --> 00:12:52,020 Live in Taco. I'm sorry. Yeah, I would expect them to 178 00:12:52,060 --> 00:12:54,980 like taco people. Not like taco person. Yeah. 179 00:12:55,020 --> 00:12:56,540 I mean, there were there was like three people there. 180 00:12:56,580 --> 00:13:00,620 And you call the guy and he comes with his whatever, his crew, 181 00:13:00,860 --> 00:13:03,900 and he has a. Crew, so he. Like, got. It like a caterer. 182 00:13:04,020 --> 00:13:06,500 Like he works in the kitchen. I mean, it's not. No, no, no. 183 00:13:06,540 --> 00:13:10,020 Like he brings everything. He brings his little taco 184 00:13:10,180 --> 00:13:13,740 situation where he cooks the meat. Yeah, like a taco tent. 185 00:13:14,060 --> 00:13:16,260 I hope that's what he. He's got his pop up tent. 186 00:13:16,260 --> 00:13:21,260 And this. Is the taco. Situation. Yeah, this happens at someone's home. 187 00:13:21,260 --> 00:13:23,900 So, yeah, this happens. So, like, we'll have birthday parties 188 00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:26,620 and we'll hit up the taco guy, and he comes over, and I'm just. 189 00:13:26,660 --> 00:13:31,340 How much do you make a year? Like at least $7. 190 00:13:32,940 --> 00:13:35,560 I mean, you're living high on the hog over there. 191 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:40,960 He's got five wine memberships. There is a transcontinental. 192 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:46,680 There is a. Taco guy around here. Oh, okay. You know that I know. 193 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,160 Do you know his phone number? I don't, but my sister in law's 194 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:59,640 husband does because one of his high school best friends is friends with 195 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,240 him. Or he's his taco guy by proxy. You have a taco guy. 196 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,600 So if I really wanted to, I could get a taco guy. 197 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,680 What's his minimum order? Like two. Because Greg's taco guy is probably, 198 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,080 like, 50. No, this guy's by, like, the day. 199 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,600 Like you pay for the day. You pay him hourly. 200 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,400 And he does everything. My taco guy, 201 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:29,400 you tell him how many people are going to be there and everything. 202 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,680 Does he swish his beer around before he swallows it? Yeah. 203 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,130 We're done here. Move on from the taco guy. Yeah. 204 00:14:36,330 --> 00:14:38,050 My taco guy. You tell them about how many 205 00:14:38,050 --> 00:14:40,130 people will be there, and he charges you accordingly. 206 00:14:40,130 --> 00:14:42,610 And then there's always leftovers, which are the best, 207 00:14:42,610 --> 00:14:44,810 because in the next day, you just throw all that leftover 208 00:14:44,850 --> 00:14:49,650 taco meat into some eggs are so good when you're hungover. Yep. I agree. 209 00:14:49,690 --> 00:14:54,410 I'm unaware of the leftover situation here. Oh, it's such a good situation. 210 00:14:54,770 --> 00:14:57,650 You don't like, you don't leave leftovers or you don't like. Them. 211 00:14:57,690 --> 00:15:01,210 With the third party taco guy. Pay attention to the conversation. 212 00:15:01,250 --> 00:15:04,090 Greg means when you take your food with you, you know there's. 213 00:15:04,370 --> 00:15:06,810 Specifically. Leftovers from the taco. Guy. 214 00:15:06,850 --> 00:15:09,850 There's always taco guy leftovers. So because when you hire him to 215 00:15:09,850 --> 00:15:13,010 be your taco guy. He always there's always leftover. 216 00:15:13,010 --> 00:15:14,770 And he always here's here you go. Here's your leftover. 217 00:15:14,810 --> 00:15:16,930 Like he'll ask like, hey, can you send me, can you give me 218 00:15:16,930 --> 00:15:19,970 some Tupperware so I can load it up? And you get all the the 219 00:15:19,970 --> 00:15:22,570 leftovers the next day when you're hungover is shit. 220 00:15:22,570 --> 00:15:26,010 You just dump them in a pan with some eggs and cheese. Boom. 221 00:15:26,210 --> 00:15:28,890 That sounds amazing, actually. That sounds fantastic. 222 00:15:28,930 --> 00:15:30,850 Well, why would it not sound fantastic? 223 00:15:31,430 --> 00:15:35,390 Exactly. Anyways, where were we? Why am I feeling so hurt? 224 00:15:35,430 --> 00:15:37,190 All of a sudden? Because you don't have a taco guy. 225 00:15:37,230 --> 00:15:41,190 You should. You need a taco guy. I'll send you his number. Okay. 226 00:15:41,190 --> 00:15:44,390 Thank you. Yeah. Anyway, so why didn't Taco it happen? 227 00:15:44,430 --> 00:15:46,710 It was great. No. I feel attacked for having a 228 00:15:46,710 --> 00:15:50,670 taco guy. Yeah. You shouldn't. You should feel very, very lucky. 229 00:15:50,790 --> 00:15:53,350 You should feel. Privileged. Have their own taco guy. 230 00:15:53,710 --> 00:15:58,350 Some of us are starving. There are starving children in Utah. 231 00:15:58,350 --> 00:16:01,710 And you have your own taco guy. I mean, he doesn't live here. 232 00:16:01,990 --> 00:16:06,950 I feel like if there was any state, I would think that not starving kids, 233 00:16:06,950 --> 00:16:11,910 it would be Utah. Not starving kids. Yeah. Why? Well, Mormons. 234 00:16:12,070 --> 00:16:15,790 Yeah, but they have too many. Yeah, but they got a lot of food. 235 00:16:15,990 --> 00:16:19,790 That's a weird stereotype, but. Okay. I don't know. 236 00:16:20,070 --> 00:16:24,550 Too many wives to feed. Yeah. Yeah. Man, I could go for a sister. 237 00:16:24,550 --> 00:16:37,760 Wife. Damn. Yeah. So. Yeah. So tacos, anyhow. Arrives. 238 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,960 I don't know how to steer out of this storm, you know. Yes I do. 239 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,040 Let's find out what Stef is drinking over there with a call to the pad. 240 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:58,200 Has fun adding Michelle. I won't. We are terrible people. 241 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:04,120 Uh, I am drinking a kolsch, which is one of my favorite styles of beer. 242 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,840 Oh, same. I'm a crispy girl. You're a crispy boy. 243 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,520 I'm a crispy boy. Girl. I love a good kolsch. 244 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,840 And it has to be done well. And, yeah, 245 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,560 I'll take it over your standard lager or any of the other stuff. 246 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,400 Yeah, I love a good kolsch, but sometimes I've had a kolsch that 247 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,000 wasn't really a kolsch and I yelled at for calling it a kolsch anyway. 248 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,920 It's a kolsch style. Because it's like champagne. 249 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,970 You can't call it champagne if it's not from the region. 250 00:17:30,250 --> 00:17:33,170 As long as you use the kolsch yeast. Okay. 251 00:17:33,210 --> 00:17:37,850 Anyway, so this one's from Bohemian Brewery here in, uh, Salt Lake City. 252 00:17:37,890 --> 00:17:40,210 It's not really a kolsch. This one is. 253 00:17:40,250 --> 00:17:42,650 This one does not have coffee in it, so I'm not gonna get yelled at. 254 00:17:42,890 --> 00:17:46,930 I love having coffee in my kolsch. I do too, but apparently it offends 255 00:17:46,930 --> 00:17:50,010 some people when I say, oh, I love that coffee kolsch. They're like. 256 00:17:50,930 --> 00:17:53,850 I did a whole coffee kolsch collab. You did? 257 00:17:54,130 --> 00:17:56,610 Yeah, I thought you said that. I thought, yeah, I thought you were 258 00:17:56,610 --> 00:17:58,890 talking shit. Yeah, no I should. There's a brewery here. 259 00:17:58,890 --> 00:18:01,530 That once a year you were talking to Craig and not me. 260 00:18:01,530 --> 00:18:07,130 So you weren't talking shit. That makes sense. Swisher calls you. 261 00:18:07,130 --> 00:18:12,410 Bitch. That's right. Let me. It doesn't matter what it smells 262 00:18:12,410 --> 00:18:15,250 like, but let me swish it around my mouth and tell you how it tastes. 263 00:18:15,650 --> 00:18:19,050 That's how it's done, right, Flex. I wouldn't. Know. 264 00:18:20,690 --> 00:18:24,170 Wouldn't you, though? We're just gonna. At some point. 265 00:18:24,690 --> 00:18:30,270 I wouldn't. Uses. How's that beer? It's delicious. 266 00:18:30,270 --> 00:18:33,590 It's crispy. It's delicious. I have lost track of what I was 267 00:18:33,590 --> 00:18:37,350 saying. I don't have an untapped. So I can't give you all the stats. 268 00:18:37,390 --> 00:18:39,390 It's fair of my beer. Because first of all, 269 00:18:39,390 --> 00:18:45,270 when you swoosh. It's like you go like, cheek to 270 00:18:45,310 --> 00:18:51,070 cheek, right? So you're like. It's not mouthwash. That is proper. 271 00:18:51,110 --> 00:18:53,550 No, but that's what you swish. That was like. 272 00:18:53,710 --> 00:18:56,710 And that is how you swish. You go like cheek to cheek. 273 00:18:56,750 --> 00:19:01,510 Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh. Right. I did not do that with my beer. 274 00:19:01,550 --> 00:19:04,150 I did not do it with my beer. Thank you very much. 275 00:19:04,550 --> 00:19:08,110 Some people, including some. People, did not swish and. 276 00:19:08,630 --> 00:19:11,670 Deflate the entire. Yep. That's what you. Did? Yep. 277 00:19:13,190 --> 00:19:20,110 Mom and dad, they're fighting again. Yep. Get in the fucking closet, Greg. 278 00:19:21,430 --> 00:19:27,520 Bye, guys. Then pull it together. Okay. I do not have an untapped. 279 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:32,320 This is a crispy kolsch. It's very traditionally kolsch. 280 00:19:32,360 --> 00:19:36,160 It is a traditional kolsch. It is. There is no coffee in it. 281 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,800 There are fruit flavors. I do enjoy a coffee. Kolsch. 282 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,120 But this is not it. This. This is a kolsch. Kolsch. 283 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,640 Once again, I feel attacked for the coffee. Kolsch. But yeah. 284 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,000 I there's a brewer here that makes the best coffee. Kolsch. 285 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,560 But I got asked about it. Oh, the words dude. 286 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,680 My gosh, was the best coffee kolsch. Did you? You yourself made a coffee? 287 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,160 I collab with a brewery who will go unnamed because now they're 288 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,080 they've joined the dark side. But back when they weren't, 289 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,720 we had a we did a collab as a coffee kolsch and it was delicious. 290 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,280 We collab with the local coffee roaster and uh oh. So good. 291 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,360 That's in there. Two flavors that just go well 292 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,160 together so it makes sense. It's fine. 293 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,120 Coming to the now I get it. Whenever I try to do collabs, 294 00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:22,820 I try to get, you know, make them different and Can't get the net. 295 00:20:23,540 --> 00:20:26,700 I'm sorry I give the worst beer reviews on your show because I'm 296 00:20:26,700 --> 00:20:30,340 just like, it's beer. It's good. I'm gonna swish it around in my face. 297 00:20:30,700 --> 00:20:33,140 You're being attacked by some guy in Wisconsin. 298 00:20:37,420 --> 00:20:44,780 It's called the cuvée. Oh, dear. It's. Yeah. You're so right. 299 00:20:45,820 --> 00:20:48,820 I'm gonna tell Mom and Dad. I thought we were. We are. 300 00:20:48,820 --> 00:20:52,340 We wait. No, no. You're confused. You're the kids that are fighting. 301 00:20:52,940 --> 00:20:57,420 Who's clearly who's in charge? I don't know. Not me. Nobody. 302 00:20:58,540 --> 00:21:01,980 Inmates or anything. All right. It's a free for all. Yeah. 303 00:21:02,020 --> 00:21:06,340 We'll move on and see what order we can keep. Uh Flexy. Yeah. 304 00:21:06,460 --> 00:21:11,860 Do any beer lately? Uh. Not much. Um, no. 305 00:21:11,900 --> 00:21:14,380 Don't ask me about your research, Greg. Okay. 306 00:21:14,420 --> 00:21:18,540 I'm not making it out much. Okay. Steph. Yo! Hey. 307 00:21:18,580 --> 00:21:20,430 Do you need, uh, beer? research lately or. 308 00:21:20,430 --> 00:21:22,790 Anything as far as, like tasting research? Yeah. 309 00:21:22,830 --> 00:21:27,350 Just hit any new breweries or new drops or. No, I think it'll happen. 310 00:21:27,470 --> 00:21:30,430 I think the last time I, the last episode I was on, 311 00:21:30,430 --> 00:21:33,230 I told you guys, I just try to Pliny the Younger for the first time. 312 00:21:33,230 --> 00:21:37,310 But that's really about as researching as I've gotten lately. 313 00:21:37,630 --> 00:21:40,150 How about you? What about you, Greg? Have you done your research? 314 00:21:40,190 --> 00:21:42,950 I told you, man, I'm. I'm all about that wine life these 315 00:21:42,950 --> 00:21:48,110 days. That's right. Fancy pants. Classy. Classy drunk. No. I've been. 316 00:21:48,150 --> 00:21:51,030 I've been drinking whiskey a little bit lately, so. 317 00:21:51,670 --> 00:21:54,430 I know part of the reason I've been drinking so much wine and seltzers, 318 00:21:54,430 --> 00:22:00,870 to be honest, is, uh, you know, the figure? Yeah. Yeah. I just I don't. 319 00:22:00,910 --> 00:22:03,230 Yeah. Beers are very filling. I've been doing the. 320 00:22:03,270 --> 00:22:08,390 I've been doing similar. Uh, with the seltzers. Yeah. 321 00:22:08,790 --> 00:22:11,870 I don't sound so bad for a beer podcast. 322 00:22:11,910 --> 00:22:14,190 I don't do a ton of beer drinking at home anymore. 323 00:22:14,830 --> 00:22:19,250 I this is gonna sound bad coming from a beer professional who gets 324 00:22:19,290 --> 00:22:21,730 paid to do like two different, three different beer jobs. 325 00:22:21,770 --> 00:22:25,210 I don't drink much beer at home. Yeah, I will go out and do a little 326 00:22:25,210 --> 00:22:28,650 research here and there, but like the at home stuff doesn't happen 327 00:22:28,650 --> 00:22:33,130 very much outside of this show. Yeah. What's wrong with this? 328 00:22:33,170 --> 00:22:34,930 That's because I don't have friends actually come over. 329 00:22:34,970 --> 00:22:37,410 This is the only when I drink a beer at home, it's usually with friends. 330 00:22:37,450 --> 00:22:42,250 And I've lost £13 since January. Holy shit. Yeah. Wow. 331 00:22:42,290 --> 00:22:46,170 That probably didn't. That is impressive. Real stuff. Yeah. 332 00:22:46,290 --> 00:22:52,570 Wow. Good job. Are you eating. Right? Yeah. Just, uh.

Yeah, I don't think. 336 00:23:03,530 --> 00:23:08,690 Next up is our AARP cards. Also, this beer show is about 337 00:23:08,690 --> 00:23:11,730 how none of us drink beer. Brought to you by truly. 338 00:23:11,850 --> 00:23:14,970 We I got I I'm looking at beer right now on my fridge. 339 00:23:15,010 --> 00:23:19,060 There's beer. I'm drinking beer. I was at a beer festival and I saw 340 00:23:19,100 --> 00:23:22,740 there was a vizzy tent, and they were selling things that said, 341 00:23:22,740 --> 00:23:26,060 I love beer. And I was like, but. You're not even. 342 00:23:26,180 --> 00:23:29,940 All you're pouring is busy. It doesn't. Okay. How's that work? 343 00:23:29,980 --> 00:23:32,620 They got antioxidants. Must have been the booze or 344 00:23:32,620 --> 00:23:35,940 something. Whatever they are now. It was one of those big Beerfest 345 00:23:35,940 --> 00:23:38,980 where everything's brought to you by. Oh, yeah. Mike's hard. 346 00:23:39,220 --> 00:23:43,020 Mike is hard. Yeah. Damn it! We did one of those Beerfest, like, 347 00:23:43,020 --> 00:23:46,860 local ones where it wasn't big, but they got donations. 348 00:23:46,980 --> 00:23:49,620 And clearly one of the local distributors had just donated a 349 00:23:49,620 --> 00:23:51,780 bunch of kegs, and nobody knew what they had. 350 00:23:52,060 --> 00:23:54,820 And there was like, oh, your random shit that no one cares about. 351 00:23:54,820 --> 00:23:58,540 Some Ballast Point, some or whatever. And they did have a keg of Pliny 352 00:23:58,540 --> 00:24:00,340 and they had no idea what they were pouring. 353 00:24:00,660 --> 00:24:02,340 Yeah, and they were giving full pours. 354 00:24:02,540 --> 00:24:05,820 And so I was like, hey, friends who know what we're drinking. 355 00:24:06,180 --> 00:24:10,060 Anybody who wasn't blind. Oh my God. That's insane. 356 00:24:10,100 --> 00:24:13,460 Yeah, that was good times. The girl porn was like, oh, 357 00:24:13,460 --> 00:24:15,790 you guys must really like this. I'm like, yeah, you know. 358 00:24:15,990 --> 00:24:18,750 We don't see it on tap all the time. We have. 359 00:24:18,750 --> 00:24:23,270 A couple brewers select, but. What is. Come on. What is? 360 00:24:24,950 --> 00:24:27,710 People are dumb. So anyways. All right little, little news. 361 00:24:27,710 --> 00:24:29,110 Before I tell you what I'm drinking over here. 362 00:24:29,150 --> 00:24:31,750 Well, do you think people that go to Beerfest, 363 00:24:32,110 --> 00:24:35,630 do you think they all know or, like, into beer or they're just like, 364 00:24:35,630 --> 00:24:38,670 I feel like it's. A good split. Like drinking. Good show. 365 00:24:38,790 --> 00:24:40,990 I mean, I go because I want to try new shit, 366 00:24:41,190 --> 00:24:45,190 and I also want to catch a good buzz. But I think there's also a lot 367 00:24:45,190 --> 00:24:48,830 of people who are like, it's. Beer and it's all you can drink. 368 00:24:48,870 --> 00:24:52,070 That's what I was thinking, right? I think it's I, I really do 369 00:24:52,070 --> 00:24:55,510 think there's a good split. Uh, actually, one of my 370 00:24:55,510 --> 00:24:57,950 girlfriends that's a head brewer. She was. I was at the festival. 371 00:24:58,030 --> 00:25:00,030 Uh, I can't talk a festival this weekend. 372 00:25:00,030 --> 00:25:03,990 And she was a long festival, and I was like, how'd it go after I left? 373 00:25:03,990 --> 00:25:06,430 And she's like, well, nobody puked, so that's a good thing. 374 00:25:06,510 --> 00:25:09,830 And I was like, does do people do that? 375 00:25:10,430 --> 00:25:14,490 And she's like, oh yeah, Where are you? And I'm, like, not puking. 376 00:25:15,050 --> 00:25:19,170 Yeah, I wouldn't think that happening there. Uh oh. No. 377 00:25:19,210 --> 00:25:22,250 I mean, we have plenty of. You get served plenty at a beer 378 00:25:22,250 --> 00:25:26,050 festival, but I was in at Great taste of the Midwest, and, like, 379 00:25:26,090 --> 00:25:29,290 I don't know, five minutes into it, some guys puking on the side of 380 00:25:29,290 --> 00:25:31,170 the sidewalk. Where are you fucking pregame 381 00:25:31,170 --> 00:25:34,250 Jesus doing? Because in Wisconsin they pregame 382 00:25:34,250 --> 00:25:38,450 everything. Like pregame the pregame. It is a thing that happens here. 383 00:25:38,610 --> 00:25:42,330 Yeah, I've poured a Beerfest and I'll agree, it's pretty split. 384 00:25:42,650 --> 00:25:45,250 The funny thing was, I wasn't actually working for the brewery. 385 00:25:45,250 --> 00:25:47,410 I was just helping out. And you'd get the guys who were like, 386 00:25:47,450 --> 00:25:50,770 you know, IPA dorks, and they come up like, oh yeah, 387 00:25:50,770 --> 00:25:53,770 what hops are you using in this? Like, I didn't fucking make the beer, 388 00:25:53,810 --> 00:25:57,490 dude. I don't know the green ones. I'm that guy, though. 389 00:25:57,530 --> 00:26:01,890 Like, I'm, I'm very interested in. And I get it. I am to that aspect. 390 00:26:01,930 --> 00:26:05,130 If I know, I will absolutely tell you. But you were just boring. 391 00:26:05,170 --> 00:26:07,210 I was just festivals because they're big. 392 00:26:07,250 --> 00:26:10,130 You're getting beer poured to you by someone who's like a 393 00:26:10,180 --> 00:26:13,380 volunteer volunteer. I'd been asked by the actual brewery, 394 00:26:13,380 --> 00:26:14,500 I should have known a little bit more. 395 00:26:14,540 --> 00:26:16,380 They should have given me more information. 396 00:26:16,420 --> 00:26:18,220 Yeah, but, you know, I was like, you know, I don't know, 397 00:26:18,220 --> 00:26:20,340 but I know it's, you know, it's West Coast style with notes 398 00:26:20,340 --> 00:26:22,980 of whatever, like. Yeah. And the funny thing is you get 399 00:26:22,980 --> 00:26:25,420 the people like, yeah, this isn't this isn't very good. 400 00:26:25,460 --> 00:26:27,860 I'm like, all right. Once again, did not make it. 401 00:26:27,860 --> 00:26:31,340 So don't feel obligated to drink it. I'm not gonna cry if you dump it. 402 00:26:31,580 --> 00:26:33,300 Yeah. It's just really not a good IPA. 403 00:26:33,340 --> 00:26:34,300 Like. Yeah, 404 00:26:34,500 --> 00:26:38,060 I heard you the first three times, homie. Yeah. You know, it'd be cool. 405 00:26:38,060 --> 00:26:41,420 Is it Beerfest where the brewers pour the beer for you? That'd be cool. 406 00:26:41,460 --> 00:26:44,340 Yeah. Wait, I have one of those. Oh, tell us about it. 407 00:26:45,300 --> 00:26:47,260 My Beerfest in Utah. That's coming up. 408 00:26:47,300 --> 00:26:50,100 Our brewers pour their beer that they make. It's amazing. 409 00:26:50,100 --> 00:26:54,220 It's like an educational event and a party. All. In one once. 410 00:26:54,260 --> 00:26:59,860 Oh, and no puckers. We'll see. Don't jinx. It. No promises. Yeah. 411 00:26:59,900 --> 00:27:03,580 I mean, plenty of beer to be. I would love for you guys. 412 00:27:03,860 --> 00:27:08,420 To get on a trip to Utah right now. What is it? It's in May, right? 413 00:27:08,460 --> 00:27:10,960 Yeah, It's May 10th, Flex. Are you busy? 414 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,600 I said I'd spot you guys tickets if you got here. Probably busy. 415 00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:17,240 It's Mother's day weekend. Bring your wife. 416 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,800 Every mom wants a beer festival. Yeah, especially Flex his wife. 417 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:24,640 She loves beer. Oh, yes. The biggest fan of. 418 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,480 She's waiting for that Walmart pack to drop right now. 419 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,200 Fan of the beverages. And some cocktails and some beers. 420 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,920 And, I don't know, one year somebody made snow cone beers, 421 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,520 and they were fucking delicious. Everything she still doesn't like 422 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:44,560 because it has alcohol inside of the liquid. I'd rather have any beers. 423 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,720 We actually, we don't have too many. And this year I was hoping we'd 424 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,160 have a couple, but I don't think we have any. Honestly, I thought. 425 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:57,080 Maybe. There was any. No. What am I doing here? 426 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,080 My time with you makes me feel like everything's in a real 427 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,970 sober and painful. All right. Keep drinking. Just kidding. 428 00:28:07,410 --> 00:28:09,770 I love you like some kids. All right, if anybody wants to 429 00:28:09,770 --> 00:28:12,970 sponsor my my plane ticket out to Utah, I'd like to go to this 430 00:28:13,090 --> 00:28:17,330 festival. Gofundme.com. I would actually, seriously, 431 00:28:17,850 --> 00:28:20,050 genuinely. I've had a couple of our little, 432 00:28:20,090 --> 00:28:22,930 like, influencer community friends come out to our festival before, 433 00:28:22,930 --> 00:28:26,130 and they said they had a great time. All right. I'll talk to the wife. 434 00:28:26,450 --> 00:28:29,250 Do it. Come on now. We have to go to Florida at the 435 00:28:29,250 --> 00:28:32,690 end of May. Yeah. Oh, I'm not looking forward to this. 436 00:28:32,890 --> 00:28:35,650 Saint Pete. That's a good point. Bad, actually. 437 00:28:35,690 --> 00:28:37,010 Yeah, that's all right. I was like, 438 00:28:37,130 --> 00:28:39,370 at least let's go to Miami. So we hang out with Vanessa or 439 00:28:39,370 --> 00:28:40,890 something. I was like, no, we're going to Saint 440 00:28:40,890 --> 00:28:44,810 Pete, which is like four hours away. So it's a nice area. 441 00:28:45,010 --> 00:28:47,410 Yeah, it'll be nice. This is the first and hopefully 442 00:28:47,410 --> 00:28:49,490 last time I'm going. What are you going for? 443 00:28:50,010 --> 00:28:53,090 Some family members, high school graduation. Oh, it's. 444 00:28:53,090 --> 00:28:56,970 Not even a real thing. You should. You're flying for a high school 445 00:28:56,970 --> 00:29:02,490 graduation. Not by choice. That's crazy. Mm. I'm just gonna. 446 00:29:02,530 --> 00:29:06,740 Put that out there. That's crazy. Is this like a immediate family 447 00:29:06,740 --> 00:29:10,900 member of your wife? Somehow of the wife? Yes. Okay. 448 00:29:10,940 --> 00:29:14,180 There's a nephew. That's a long. That's a long trip for a high school 449 00:29:14,180 --> 00:29:18,060 graduation. I can't underscore. You're just correct. You are. 450 00:29:18,180 --> 00:29:24,020 Like a whole week out of it. Mhm. Extended weekend. Oh, that's. Yeah. 451 00:29:24,580 --> 00:29:27,860 That's like a what is that, a five hour flight. Six hour flight. 452 00:29:28,420 --> 00:29:31,820 It's five. It's five there. It's like five there. 453 00:29:31,820 --> 00:29:33,900 And five and a half on the way back. I was gonna say it's shorter on 454 00:29:33,900 --> 00:29:35,540 the way there. Right. Yeah. From west to east. 455 00:29:35,580 --> 00:29:38,980 It's always faster. Yeah, exactly. So, uh, the good news is I've 456 00:29:38,980 --> 00:29:44,660 already gotten some beer recs from, uh. Vanessa. Vanessa and husband. 457 00:29:44,700 --> 00:29:48,260 They're like, oh, we we got all the beer breweries for you. 458 00:29:48,300 --> 00:29:51,300 They're good because I'm going to need them. I love those, too. 459 00:29:51,340 --> 00:29:54,180 I have to say, I'm pretty sad that everybody's hanging out in 460 00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:57,060 Florida right now except us. They always try to get me to go 461 00:29:57,060 --> 00:29:58,780 out there for every fest. I'm like. It's fun. 462 00:29:59,420 --> 00:30:02,860 Although I'm like, why is everyone drinking stouts in frickin Florida? 463 00:30:02,900 --> 00:30:05,480 Oh my God, that's like the fucking Firestone Festival. 464 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,240 First weekend of June in Paso Robles. It's always 113 degrees. 465 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,400 I'm like, hey, who wants a barrel aged quad? 466 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:17,520 Nobody. Fuckers. Nobody wants this. Yeah, one of our breweries got 467 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,360 invited to that one this year and they're all pumped. But I'm the same. 468 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,320 I'm like, why are we just. Gil, give me a pilsner. Yeah. 469 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,160 Who's your brother? Got a blow for a pale? 470 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,360 The worst. Yeah. I've only been to one Firestone. 471 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,920 And and look, it was good in the sense that it was big. 472 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,680 Lots of breweries are invite only, but I don't need stouts when 473 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,080 it's 110 out. It's odd. Florida loves their. Stuff. 474 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,040 I don't need them when they're 20 degrees out. Same. 475 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,720 But I like to taste them. But I don't want I don't want a 476 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:50,480 16oz of stout. Except. For. Teddy bear kisses. For. Brew. 477 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:56,120 In case Flex daughter is listening, it's the best beer he's ever had. 478 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,200 Oh, that's really cute. I would have went into, you know, 479 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,650 the description, but it's good. I think you did go in the 480 00:31:01,650 --> 00:31:04,050 description. No, no, no, I said it was good. 481 00:31:04,610 --> 00:31:07,610 I think we got derailed by this. Wishing we may have. 482 00:31:08,330 --> 00:31:10,850 Everybody's listening to what swishing is because I cut most of it 483 00:31:10,850 --> 00:31:15,330 out. The drinking is what she meant. We're gonna have a separate. 484 00:31:15,330 --> 00:31:17,490 We're gonna go live at some point. Oh, gosh. 485 00:31:18,050 --> 00:31:22,250 We're gonna take a poll to see if Flex is swishing. Just drink. 486 00:31:22,290 --> 00:31:24,770 I'm gonna pull the video for everyone. No! Swish! 487 00:31:25,730 --> 00:31:27,370 We will do a pull up. I'll pull the video, 488 00:31:27,370 --> 00:31:29,490 see what people say. Uh, all right, a little news 489 00:31:29,490 --> 00:31:31,810 before we get up on here. California distillery is taking 490 00:31:31,810 --> 00:31:35,050 on New York over their shipping restrictions. 491 00:31:35,570 --> 00:31:38,450 A Los Angeles craft spirits producer has taken on the entire 492 00:31:38,450 --> 00:31:42,010 state in a federal lawsuit filed last week challenging direct to 493 00:31:42,050 --> 00:31:46,570 consumer shipping laws prohibiting distillers in California from sending 494 00:31:46,570 --> 00:31:51,290 spirits to customers in New York. The complaint, filed by the obscure 495 00:31:51,330 --> 00:31:55,090 distillery in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York 496 00:31:55,090 --> 00:31:58,890 comes less than a year after New York Distillers and Ciders celebrated 497 00:31:58,890 --> 00:32:03,390 a bill, making New York the ninth state to allow direct to consumer 498 00:32:03,390 --> 00:32:07,390 shipments within its borders. I remember that. Thank you. 499 00:32:07,670 --> 00:32:11,070 But the new law has some caveats, including that out of state 500 00:32:11,070 --> 00:32:14,750 distilleries can only ship to New York consumers if their home state 501 00:32:14,990 --> 00:32:19,270 offers reciprocal privileges. Sounds dirty, to the plaintiffs 502 00:32:19,270 --> 00:32:21,990 dismay. California does not. By allowing in-state distilleries 503 00:32:21,990 --> 00:32:24,670 privileges that out-of-state distilleries don't have, 504 00:32:24,670 --> 00:32:27,270 the complaint argues. New York has created an unfair 505 00:32:27,270 --> 00:32:30,350 trade barrier, violating the Constitution's Commerce Clause, 506 00:32:30,710 --> 00:32:33,150 which prevents states from granting privileges to in-state 507 00:32:33,150 --> 00:32:35,030 businesses over out-of-state ones. I mean, 508 00:32:35,070 --> 00:32:39,710 it's just courtesy at that point. I agree. Yeah. Get what you give. 509 00:32:40,310 --> 00:32:43,270 Just can we get rid of these prohibition era laws and start 510 00:32:43,270 --> 00:32:46,110 shipping where the fuck we want? God, that would be so nice. 511 00:32:46,150 --> 00:32:49,230 Wouldn't it be nice? Just doesn't make sense. 512 00:32:49,430 --> 00:32:51,470 No it doesn't. There's all kinds of weird 513 00:32:51,470 --> 00:32:54,270 distribution laws all over the country that I don't understand. 514 00:32:54,310 --> 00:32:56,710 Maybe I want some beer from Utah or some beer from. 515 00:32:56,750 --> 00:33:02,240 No, Nobody wants that. First of all, Steph has given me 516 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,440 some from Utah and it was delicious. I've had beer from Utah and. 517 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,640 I know we've talked about it from your like, uh, airline friend. 518 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,640 Yeah. Yes. Uh, we. Have Tom Nardo DiCaprio as I 519 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:19,480 refer to him. There you go. Just your whole Flex. I'm. 520 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:26,440 I'm joking. Uh, yeah. No. I've been. I don't know, you guys. 521 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,080 Have you guys heard about all the. Here's some beer news? 522 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,880 Oh, uh, Florida and Texas are both trying really hard to get 523 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,440 their laws changed because they cannot self distribute. 524 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:39,680 So they are both campaigning hard to be able to self distribute, 525 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,000 which is crazy to me as I watch, like a local brewery owner put a 526 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,280 bunch of kegs in the back of his pickup truck to like drive right 527 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,240 to the neighborhood pub like Self-distribution. 528 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,200 I know it's tough for breweries, but it's my favorite. It's amazing. 529 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,020 Utah would not survive without it. Like, we almost everybody here. 530 00:33:57,660 --> 00:33:59,180 That's how they get their beer out there. 531 00:33:59,180 --> 00:34:01,780 I mean, these are small businesses. They don't have money to hire the 532 00:34:01,780 --> 00:34:04,380 big distributors all the time. And so especially if you're 533 00:34:04,380 --> 00:34:06,300 delivering to the pub, that's two doors down. 534 00:34:06,340 --> 00:34:08,540 Like, why should I have to pay a distributor? Right. 535 00:34:08,580 --> 00:34:10,700 I can just walk it down. Best thing I've ever heard. 536 00:34:10,740 --> 00:34:15,900 The best is if you own multiple locations and you have to get a 537 00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:19,620 distributor to distribute your beer. To your own location. 538 00:34:19,660 --> 00:34:22,740 Yeah, I've seen that before. It's so stupid. 539 00:34:23,260 --> 00:34:26,900 So you think Utah is crazy? Go to Texas and Florida and 540 00:34:26,900 --> 00:34:30,860 apparently Georgia. Georgia? Yeah. A lot of fucked up post 541 00:34:30,860 --> 00:34:33,260 prohibition shit. All right, before I talk about this 542 00:34:33,260 --> 00:34:37,260 story, I'm about to run out of beer, so I should probably mention it now. 543 00:34:41,420 --> 00:34:46,380 Greg. I got this beer. 544 00:34:54,510 --> 00:34:57,110 I think this is the first one I've had from these guys. 545 00:34:57,110 --> 00:35:01,910 This is Bissell Brothers Brewing Company out of Portland, Maine. 546 00:35:03,030 --> 00:35:08,790 Here's to feeling good all the time. Is the name of the beer. 7.8%. 547 00:35:08,790 --> 00:35:14,830 It's a double IPA. 4.37 an untapped over 21,000 ratings. 548 00:35:14,870 --> 00:35:17,070 Wow. It says I've been known to have 549 00:35:17,070 --> 00:35:19,030 a few beers. Then again, I've been known to 550 00:35:19,030 --> 00:35:22,350 do a lot of things. That is the entire description. 551 00:35:22,750 --> 00:35:27,310 That's how it should be. I love it. You said Bissell. Bissell. Bissell. 552 00:35:27,350 --> 00:35:32,430 Brothers like things that suck. Yeah, like the vacuum man. 553 00:35:32,470 --> 00:35:34,990 That was a brave move on their part. Right. 554 00:35:35,350 --> 00:35:37,510 I'm assuming it's the last name, but who knows? 555 00:35:37,990 --> 00:35:41,510 Uh, I wouldn't call this hazy. I'd call this unfiltered. 556 00:35:41,910 --> 00:35:48,510 It's like. Jesse. Lacing is. Lacing is sexy. It's there. 557 00:35:50,270 --> 00:35:54,920 It's like a boudoir photo. A lot of lace all up in your face. 558 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,040 On the schnoz. I get mostly dank, uh, 559 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,160 piney notes and that kind of thing. Very, very Westie. 560 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,600 Uh, the tongue does not follow far behind. 561 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:10,200 It's real malty, which we all know how I feel about that. 562 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,080 You know how I feel about that. It's got some. Great. 563 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:17,160 Yeah, it's got some great flavors, but the maltiness could serve to 564 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:22,320 be dialed back a little bit. Mm. Yeah. That, uh, shouldn't be a thing. 565 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,840 No, it's the tongue a little bit. I just wish it's a little cleaner. 566 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:31,000 There is definitely some yeast at the bottom of my glass. Yeah. 567 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:36,480 All right. It's fine. Doesn't suck. Four. Three. Seven. Feels generous. 568 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:42,160 Four. Three. Seven. Good God. I know Bissel is a bit of a hype 569 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,880 brewery. I don't know. Maybe it's because I got it from 570 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,200 Tavour. And, you know, they don't treat 571 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,440 their beers the what the best. I think they sit in someone's 572 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,780 basement or something. That's what I've. Heard. Yeah. 573 00:36:52,380 --> 00:36:55,580 So is my basement. We'll have blame it on that. 574 00:36:55,620 --> 00:36:57,500 No you don't. You would hate if somebody shipped 575 00:36:57,500 --> 00:37:02,420 you beer. That's accurate. Please. You don't have to know your address. 576 00:37:03,140 --> 00:37:06,180 Exactly. Uh. All right. A couple more stories we got here. 577 00:37:06,180 --> 00:37:07,380 Cape Cod. We talked about breweries 578 00:37:07,380 --> 00:37:09,740 merging last week. Cape Cod, hog Island Beer Company 579 00:37:09,740 --> 00:37:13,500 is going to be acquiring Mayflower Brewing out there on the East Coast. 580 00:37:13,700 --> 00:37:18,060 Damn it. We're just headed. For all these, like, Beeropolies. 581 00:37:18,740 --> 00:37:23,660 Right? Hey, cool word stuff. Thank you. You're welcome. Hey, it's. 582 00:37:23,780 --> 00:37:27,180 It's better than whatever hen house in Fort Pointe came up with last 583 00:37:27,180 --> 00:37:31,580 week. Was it chicken in a fort? I don't know. Something like that. 584 00:37:31,580 --> 00:37:37,700 Yeah. Cock Fort something I forget. Just be like Fort Coupe and just, 585 00:37:37,700 --> 00:37:42,740 like, done. See, Fort Coop was good. Look at you being mature. 586 00:37:42,780 --> 00:37:47,740 That's when the rest of us aren't. Uh, talking about Texas booze laws. 587 00:37:47,780 --> 00:37:50,510 Uh, there's been some ups and downs in the spirits world in Texas. 588 00:37:50,550 --> 00:37:56,070 A bill to sell spirit based rtds in grocery and C stores passed through 589 00:37:56,070 --> 00:38:00,590 the Senate late last week, and we'll move on to the full Senate if passed. 590 00:38:00,630 --> 00:38:05,110 Spirit Rtds under 17% could be on shelves in time for Texas 591 00:38:05,110 --> 00:38:10,710 football season. Yeah. But on the other side of things, 592 00:38:10,750 --> 00:38:14,630 meanwhile, in Colorado. That's raising cattle. 593 00:38:17,390 --> 00:38:21,070 A new liquor laws put a stop to spirit sales in future grocery 594 00:38:21,070 --> 00:38:23,670 and big box stores. The law came in response to the 595 00:38:23,670 --> 00:38:26,870 expansion of wine and beer sales in larger channels, 596 00:38:26,870 --> 00:38:29,390 which hurt independent liquor stores. Now, the number of grocery stores 597 00:38:29,430 --> 00:38:34,590 able to sell liquor in the state will remain capped at 36. That's so weird. 598 00:38:34,630 --> 00:38:40,350 Only 36 grocery stores can sell liquor. That's weird. That's weird. 599 00:38:40,390 --> 00:38:43,550 Weird. Cal or Calvin? Colorado is is fairly 600 00:38:43,550 --> 00:38:47,290 progressive in a lot of things. Not their booze laws. 601 00:38:47,330 --> 00:38:50,850 That's really because you know why? Because Colorado is beer country. 602 00:38:50,970 --> 00:38:54,730 They got the they got the like they're one of the beer mafia states. 603 00:38:54,770 --> 00:38:56,890 They don't. They have the most breweries. 604 00:38:56,930 --> 00:39:00,210 No, we've been through this. California? Yes, California. 605 00:39:00,290 --> 00:39:02,890 But I think Colorado's second. Colorado has a. Lot. Yeah. 606 00:39:02,930 --> 00:39:06,210 Colorado's a town. Um, music and breweries. 607 00:39:06,210 --> 00:39:09,850 I don't know if Steph has to deal with this kind of legality stuff. 608 00:39:09,890 --> 00:39:13,930 Is this new Jersey? It's not. Because I know they've had issues 609 00:39:13,930 --> 00:39:17,130 with it, so no one's fine over here. We love you, new Jersey. Oh, wait. 610 00:39:17,130 --> 00:39:20,690 Unless it's the, uh, the licensing. Here we go. Yeah. 611 00:39:20,730 --> 00:39:22,930 Now you're on to it. The Brewers Association has submitted 612 00:39:22,930 --> 00:39:26,570 comments to the US Copyright Office expressing members deep 613 00:39:26,570 --> 00:39:30,290 dissatisfaction with the use of performing rights organizations. 614 00:39:30,330 --> 00:39:34,050 Pros which license copyrighted music. The Copyright Office has issued 615 00:39:34,050 --> 00:39:37,810 a notice of inquiry for pros. The BHA noted that pro pricing 616 00:39:37,810 --> 00:39:41,170 makes no economic sense for small businesses like brewpubs and 617 00:39:41,170 --> 00:39:45,100 taprooms, that are required to obtain the licenses for only a few events 618 00:39:45,100 --> 00:39:48,620 versus year round music venues. The trade group wrote the high cost 619 00:39:48,620 --> 00:39:52,100 of the current system increasingly makes music a yes no question for 620 00:39:52,100 --> 00:39:55,380 small and independent breweries. Many of our members report that 621 00:39:55,380 --> 00:39:58,100 they have stopped offering music to their guests due to the high 622 00:39:58,100 --> 00:40:02,700 cost of pro fees and the threat of litigation and Copyright Act damages. 623 00:40:02,820 --> 00:40:04,780 I didn't know about this until a couple of years ago, but like 624 00:40:04,780 --> 00:40:08,500 just to play music in a brewery, let alone have someone like a 625 00:40:08,500 --> 00:40:12,020 cover band playing songs that are copyrighted, you have to have like 626 00:40:12,020 --> 00:40:15,420 three different licenses for this. It's insane actually. And they will. 627 00:40:15,540 --> 00:40:17,540 They'll call you a thousand times. Yeah. 628 00:40:17,580 --> 00:40:20,460 And they'll send you cease and desist letters and sue you. 629 00:40:20,500 --> 00:40:23,020 And they'll try and send you, like, invoices and shit. 630 00:40:23,060 --> 00:40:25,540 Yeah, I've heard saying. I've heard of ASCAP just sending 631 00:40:25,540 --> 00:40:30,420 invoices to breweries before. Yeah. It's it's it's it feels very 632 00:40:30,460 --> 00:40:33,140 threatening when they call you over and over and over again. 633 00:40:33,180 --> 00:40:35,780 What I don't understand is why does the brewery need the license 634 00:40:35,780 --> 00:40:39,100 and not the person singing it? Um, well, it doesn't matter if 635 00:40:39,100 --> 00:40:43,110 you're if it's a musician or because the brewery is the one 636 00:40:43,110 --> 00:40:46,230 making the money, I think. But you're paying the position. 637 00:40:46,270 --> 00:40:48,470 Right. But customers are coming to the 638 00:40:48,470 --> 00:40:51,350 brewery. Sure. So the whole thing is so weird. 639 00:40:51,390 --> 00:40:54,590 I mean, I understand that somebody's got to get paid for something, 640 00:40:55,230 --> 00:40:59,110 but this whole Mafia shakedown is. It's insane. 641 00:40:59,110 --> 00:41:03,230 And I know the Brewers Association has been kind of trying the rest 642 00:41:03,230 --> 00:41:06,750 to fight it off for breweries all over the place, but. Well, good. 643 00:41:06,750 --> 00:41:10,750 Hopefully they hopefully something. I mean, maybe pay per event or 644 00:41:10,750 --> 00:41:14,030 something for the smaller people. Just nonsense actually. 645 00:41:14,070 --> 00:41:16,990 Like they're not making enough money, but they actually will track 646 00:41:17,030 --> 00:41:21,630 your like Spotify usage. And if you're using a streaming 647 00:41:21,630 --> 00:41:25,030 service in your brewery, there's a way for them to track it so that. 648 00:41:25,350 --> 00:41:29,710 Yeah. It's insane. It's awful. I think one of the I don't know 649 00:41:29,710 --> 00:41:32,630 if it's Spotify, I think one of the streaming services does offer 650 00:41:32,670 --> 00:41:35,550 like a professional level. Right? There is um, 651 00:41:35,590 --> 00:41:39,750 I know like Sonos will do it. And I think there might be a Spotify 652 00:41:39,750 --> 00:41:43,490 one, but I'm here to tell you that the music selection is ass. 653 00:41:43,970 --> 00:41:47,850 It is the worst. Just careless whisper on repeat. 654 00:41:48,050 --> 00:41:51,290 Say you bite your tongue. Bite your tongue, Greg. 655 00:41:53,210 --> 00:42:02,730 Never got to dance again. Keep going. No rhythm. It's easy to pretend. 656 00:42:03,050 --> 00:42:08,610 And no, you're not a fool. Now we're gonna get sued. Great. 657 00:42:08,610 --> 00:42:11,650 We're gonna get an invoice. Actually, Greg's getting an invoice. 658 00:42:11,730 --> 00:42:16,370 It's not me. That song is amazing. It's not. It's actually a terrible. 659 00:42:16,530 --> 00:42:21,370 Year, actually. Dumb. That was a great comeback. 660 00:42:22,130 --> 00:42:24,290 I got a I got a good story about that song. 661 00:42:24,410 --> 00:42:28,210 We were hanging out with Nick and Nicole and Wiley of the Booze League, 662 00:42:28,210 --> 00:42:32,610 or whatever they call themselves now, and he has there. What's that? 663 00:42:32,650 --> 00:42:35,410 Um, something. Tunes where you can play the 664 00:42:35,410 --> 00:42:39,500 jukebox from your phone. Oh. That's an old you know what I'm 665 00:42:39,500 --> 00:42:41,020 talking about. It's the something tunes and and 666 00:42:41,020 --> 00:42:44,580 basically, if the brewery or the bar has it, you can instead of having a, 667 00:42:44,580 --> 00:42:47,180 an old fashioned jukebox, you do it from your phone and you can like, pay 668 00:42:47,180 --> 00:42:50,380 for credits on your phone and stuff. Oh, you could wait, wait, you can pay 669 00:42:50,380 --> 00:42:55,740 for that shit on your phone. Yes. I had no idea. Yeah. That's right. 670 00:42:56,300 --> 00:43:01,100 So anyways, we were just within range of this bar that he frequents a lot. 671 00:43:01,100 --> 00:43:06,060 So that from his house he would on repeat requests. Yeah. Whisper. 672 00:43:06,540 --> 00:43:08,500 And he goes watch I do it. And so he do it. 673 00:43:08,500 --> 00:43:10,820 And I was like, we need to find out for sure. 674 00:43:10,820 --> 00:43:14,180 So I called the bar and I and I just did the whole like, hey, 675 00:43:14,180 --> 00:43:16,740 how late are you open tonight? And she's like, I can hear tonight. 676 00:43:16,780 --> 00:43:19,620 But as she answered before, she said, hi, 677 00:43:19,660 --> 00:43:27,340 this is such and such bar. You're. Yeah, there's. It's. So. Good. 678 00:43:27,380 --> 00:43:30,300 There's a lot of bars now that have the little like jukebox 679 00:43:30,300 --> 00:43:32,820 that you can just like. Yeah. And you don't have to be in the 680 00:43:32,820 --> 00:43:35,180 bar to set it off. No, you can torture as many 681 00:43:35,180 --> 00:43:38,360 strangers as you want. I don't. Know. I was dying. 682 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,600 I wish I was at a bar where somebody was playing Careless Whisper on 683 00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:46,560 repeat. I bet you do that. And, uh, never gonna give you a. 684 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,280 Hey, that's a good song, too. Isn't that the risk that you 685 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:54,720 just recklessly. Recklessly. So, uh, the numbers. Come to. 686 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:59,840 The numbers are in the 2024 top 50 US craft brewing companies, 687 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,880 ranked by beer. Volume produced or sold in the US. 688 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,320 Sam Adams. Oh, they're always on their, uh, 689 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:07,920 top ten. I'm not going to go through all 50, 690 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:13,120 but top ten are number ten steps. Favorite monster brewery for brewing? 691 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:17,240 Excuse me. I'm angry. Yeah. You don't. You don't like count one. 692 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,840 I guess they count as even though they're a conglomerate of breweries. 693 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,000 So they own, like, I don't even know how many. 694 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,320 They own a crap ton of brewery. They own ten. 695 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,040 I think they've closed four already. So they count as one. 696 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,320 I guess so that's bullshit. That's like saying my pinky toe 697 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,730 counts as all the toes. Right. It's. You don't have enough socks for that. 698 00:44:35,770 --> 00:44:40,210 Yeah. Exactly. Uh, number nine, Brooklyn brewery. 699 00:44:40,330 --> 00:44:43,490 Number eight. This makes me mad. Athletic Brewing company. 700 00:44:43,530 --> 00:44:46,370 I hate that. There needs to be alcohol in it. 701 00:44:46,370 --> 00:44:49,250 And it's so expensive. That I don't. Yeah. That's odd. 702 00:44:49,290 --> 00:44:52,210 Have you ever been out in an establishment? Yeah. 703 00:44:52,570 --> 00:44:56,050 You've looked at their menu like, say, like you're at a restaurant 704 00:44:56,890 --> 00:45:01,210 and you look at the domestics, you look at the imports, and then you 705 00:45:01,210 --> 00:45:07,050 look at the owner's athletic brewing. And he is always just as expensive 706 00:45:07,050 --> 00:45:10,010 as a regular craft beer. But do you know why? 707 00:45:10,650 --> 00:45:15,370 I'm assuming I don't. Because they're expensive to brew. 708 00:45:15,570 --> 00:45:16,970 I'm. I mean, I don't know if that's 709 00:45:16,970 --> 00:45:21,250 what they're saying is the excuse, but they're expensive to brew, 710 00:45:21,250 --> 00:45:24,530 so it depends on if you. Never mind. I don't know. 711 00:45:25,370 --> 00:45:29,290 Because if you're brewing it, there are only a very few breweries 712 00:45:29,290 --> 00:45:32,650 who brew so that it doesn't have alcohol in the beginning. 713 00:45:32,650 --> 00:45:34,430 The rest brew restroom and then remove the alcohol. 714 00:45:34,430 --> 00:45:37,350 And it's like a big, long, expensive process, right? 715 00:45:37,550 --> 00:45:41,910 Do you know what athletic is? Um, I think they remove the alcohol, 716 00:45:41,910 --> 00:45:44,350 don't they? That was my guess. That's what I thought they did. 717 00:45:44,910 --> 00:45:46,950 There. I think there are very few who 718 00:45:46,950 --> 00:45:50,390 brew it in the beginning. So go brewing in Chicago. 719 00:45:50,390 --> 00:45:53,350 I think they brew theirs originally without the alcohol. 720 00:45:53,350 --> 00:45:56,350 Their their neighbor is actually really good. 721 00:45:56,390 --> 00:45:59,390 I've never heard of them. Um, they're really, really good. 722 00:45:59,430 --> 00:46:02,510 Because of the couple I've tried. It seems like the ones that brew 723 00:46:02,550 --> 00:46:06,590 it with alcohol and then remove it later. Taste more like beer than the. 724 00:46:07,070 --> 00:46:10,270 Yeah, never had alcohol. But it is a big it's a pretty. 725 00:46:10,310 --> 00:46:12,670 From what I've heard. It's a pretty expensive process 726 00:46:12,710 --> 00:46:15,190 to like remove the alcohol. Well they essentially like 727 00:46:15,230 --> 00:46:17,990 vacuum it out. It's kind of cool to look into 728 00:46:18,030 --> 00:46:21,110 if you ever want. It certainly does suck. Interesting. 729 00:46:22,510 --> 00:46:26,270 That was for the Bissell brothers. Actually. It wasn't for suck cut. 730 00:46:27,550 --> 00:46:29,750 Get a load of. This guy came for the sucker. 731 00:46:29,790 --> 00:46:34,440 Actually, we always talk about, you know, a little bit of 732 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,640 Wayne's World while we're here. Actually, it's pronounced Milwaukee. 733 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,440 Exactly. Where was I? Oh, Athletic. Uh, number seven, 734 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:50,880 Matt brewing Company. Hey, Matt. Good one. Yeah. Number six. 735 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:55,040 Gambino's. Never heard of it. That's not a real word or a real 736 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:59,160 name. Sounds like a disease. They have a disease? Yeah. 737 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,680 I hear there's a cream for that. Doctor said I can't breathe this 738 00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:08,120 shit, man. Sorry to hear. That. How long do you have to live? 739 00:47:10,720 --> 00:47:13,760 Uh. Number five. Duval Moore got number four. 740 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:17,920 Tilray brands, which is another conglomerate. 741 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:22,640 So is Duval. Duval is Firestone. And, um, something else. 742 00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:27,120 Uh, number three, finally, a real brewery. Sierra Nevada. Number two. 743 00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:31,770 I drink their beer. Yeah. Yeah. I'll drink a hazy little thing when 744 00:47:31,770 --> 00:47:34,210 I'm getting dinner or something. Uh, number two, 745 00:47:34,210 --> 00:47:37,810 Boston Beer Company. Classic. Which is so many different things. 746 00:47:37,810 --> 00:47:42,650 Besides Sam Adams, it's Dogfish Head. They apparently have the number one 747 00:47:42,650 --> 00:47:46,090 light lager, uh, in the country. Now, I didn't know. 748 00:47:46,090 --> 00:47:50,690 That Sam Adams does. Yeah. Mm. And it's just called, like, 749 00:47:51,250 --> 00:47:56,850 Sam Adams light lager. Creative. Like. Soon to be a Walmart. 750 00:47:57,090 --> 00:48:01,130 Uh, then the number one top craft brewery in the in the country, 751 00:48:01,130 --> 00:48:05,690 which also not craft anymore. Yingling. Yeah. Not a fan. 752 00:48:05,730 --> 00:48:09,810 I just I'm. Not. Okay. I mean. It's. Just bad. Like a basic lager. 753 00:48:09,810 --> 00:48:12,850 It's just not a fan. Fine. I'll take it over at PBR. 754 00:48:12,890 --> 00:48:16,210 I wouldn't. What about a PBR coffee? Oh, I wouldn't. 755 00:48:16,250 --> 00:48:21,730 I've had a Yuengling, and, uh. Yeah. No, I just don't get it. I don't. 756 00:48:21,770 --> 00:48:25,610 I've only had it once or three times because I was on the East Coast, 757 00:48:25,610 --> 00:48:28,350 and that's the only place I don't find it. 758 00:48:28,350 --> 00:48:31,390 I can't get Yingling here in Utah unless somebody brings it here, 759 00:48:31,390 --> 00:48:34,630 so. Damn. But I can't even. I can't get it in Wisconsin. 760 00:48:35,190 --> 00:48:39,230 Really? Yeah. That's weird. I found it everywhere in New Orleans. 761 00:48:39,470 --> 00:48:43,550 So, like, random places, you'd think that you could get it in Wisconsin. 762 00:48:43,550 --> 00:48:48,030 So to Saint Louis last summer. And they had it in plenty there. 763 00:48:48,030 --> 00:48:49,870 But you can't get it here in Wisconsin. 764 00:48:50,030 --> 00:48:53,990 Because you guys are part of the, uh, why can't I think of the 765 00:48:53,990 --> 00:48:56,270 beer that you guys have? I don't know, everybody loves 766 00:48:56,270 --> 00:49:01,110 what the cows come on down there. New Glarus, new Glarus. Yeah. 767 00:49:01,110 --> 00:49:03,670 You're part of the New Glarus like mafia. 768 00:49:03,710 --> 00:49:06,790 They're not going to allow you some mingling in there.

Think about it. I don't I. 771 00:49:18,070 --> 00:49:21,310 Did not bring that up again. I'm done. 772 00:49:22,470 --> 00:49:26,000 And that was the end of that, man. I end a lot of shows. I'm sorry. 773 00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,680 The last crappy Republic episode ever. 774 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:34,560 I've been fired from beer nerd radio like ten times, but they haven't 775 00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,440 changed the code, I just think. I believe I believe that, 776 00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:41,040 though. I do. Like Milton. You just keep getting paychecks. 777 00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,600 And I do have a red stapler, actually. 778 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:49,040 I told them if they take my stapler, I burn the place down. 779 00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,080 I think it's upstairs. I do have that. 780 00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:55,040 I have a swing line. It's red. It's fantastic. Of course you do. 781 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:58,320 It's a great stapler. Couldn't have it any other way. 782 00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,280 All right, let's wrap things up. Uh, make sure you go out to 783 00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:06,720 Steph's Beerfest. May 10th.
