Let's see them. Short shorts. You got the short shorts?

Are they short? How short are they? Let's see.

They're pretty short.

Are they ever not short?

Hold on. Let me get up.

Okay, let's see.

Oh, damn.

Do they get any shorter like these?

Not possible. No.

Oh, they just did.

The bulge isn't super prominent in the black shorts,

but it's very prominent in the gray and the green.

Okay, good to know.

Keep that in mind.

Welcome.

And everybody, it is the Craft Beer Republic.

Thanks for drinking.

Thanks for joining.

Thanks for hopping on over. I am Greg.

I am being joined by the shortest shorts in literally all of the world.

Any shorter, they would not be shorts. Flex what's happening?

Nothing much. Was that hop on over?

Was that like a pun?

Was that like a like it like a pun?

Is that. Yeah.

Well, I would say, like I thought about it and planned it out,

but I was like, I'm just going to say this now.

And luckily it wasn't offensive.

I don't think so half the time.

No, I.

Took zero offense.

I was just like, wow, this was pretty good for Greg.

Yeah. Greg, I. Had to sit. I feel.

Good that.

That was that was a solid A-minus for.

Greg and C.

Plus for everyone. Else.

But off to a good start already.

And then, of course, joining us,

the salmon of Capistrano, the salty sailor herself.

Erica, what the fuck is.

The salmon of. Capistrano?

That's from Dumb and Dumber Friends.

It's kind of going on with my beard tonight.

You know, I'm flocking to CBR like the salmon of Capistrano.

All right.

You remember. The show? I don't remember the movie.

Anyone except for the women. Dumb Dumber.

Yes, I remember.

I remember it. I haven't seen it in, like, 25 years.

What are you talking about? Going to Aspen, right?

That's been where the women flock, like the salmon of Capistrano.

Anyways, I. Don't remember that.

I'm so glad I could school you guys on a movie for once.

Right now.

You got. You got to cut this entire part out

because we're just going to show, you know.

Now we're no. Better than you guys.

Now crank it out.

Which is funny

because I love the whole Aspen thing and that guy, that part of the movie

makes me crack up. I cannot believe I.

Well, the whole movie.

You know, does the job.

It's you can't stop laughing the entire movie.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I love it.

Yeah.

When I was young and it first came out like I thought Aspen was in California.

When I first watch it, he was like, Oh, California.

I was like, Oh, I think there's one in Colorado.

Do I?

Yeah.

You know, and I'm done all in some way.

Yeah. Yeah, that's all right.

You should do it like a remake.

We're flexing rig travel the country in a sheepdog van or something.

That would be.

That would be a no.

That's what we'll we'll do our tour through in Finland.

Yeah.

We need a sheepdog plane to hit Europe.

That is. Is it

so good.

Anyways follow us on the socials craft beer republic selects

me a beer underscore is in between and NEC Nosh LLC underscores

in between each word there and eight divided by three beer

if you want to call us speaking of corn we got a voicemail from the homie.

Chew your beer He's got a bone to pick with a couple of us.

Can't wait to hear that one.

Oh, he's never angry, so that's good. Wow.

I have some research to talk about,

some booze, news to get to, and so much more.

I think we should kick off the hydration with what the salmon of Capistrano is.

Drinking over there.

Oh, I.

Hey, friends.

So tonight

I'm drunk and numb and number by Fall River Brewing.

It is a double hazy IPA.

I'm already feeling this baby and it says Best Enjoyed Outdoors,

which is one reason I love them because they always say

that on their beers and so is our best outdoors.

Right?

And the camp has that sheepdog van right on the front there from some here.

That is awesome cannot it's.

Super and you know what

little trivia what is that bird's name in the movie.

PD? PD, our pets heads are falling off.

So yeah, PD is on the can too.

And so I think, Greg, we really.

Blind bird to you or somebody in the dead bird.

To the. Blanket. To a blanket. Yeah.

And there's so many great lines from that movie.

It's so classic and so we reviewed Nam

Nam Juice and you played the sweet clip from that TMT Yes.

Yeah.

So this is Nam a number because it's double hazy IPA

and it is a eight, it's 8.2% ABV so I'm feeling it 37 I've used

it is a four

on untapped very respectable in area. Yeah.

So I'm loving that.

So Fall River's in Redding, California, so just north of me about an hour or so.

So here's the details.

Just when you think it couldn't get possibly any number,

we go and do something like this and totally redeem ourselves.

Now I'm enamored, double hazy.

IPA is bursting with the same tropical juiciness of num num juice,

which was delicious,

but an even richer vibe that causes beautiful people to flock instinctively.

Like the salmon of Capistrano.

Even if you've got no food, got no job, your pets, heads are falling off,

you've got numb and number.

So make like you're in Austria, throw another shrimp

on the barbie and crack open another one.

Make Lloyd and Harry proud.

Oh, look, first. So

there.

Is that.

And so this haze, you just got your typical hazy look. It's

it had a really nice foamy head on it and kind of a

maybe pineapple, a little stone fruit.

While you sip.

I will say that I appreciate all of the the references on the description there.

Some. Random in there.

Maybe that was great.

So when you pour so.

Many more, they're not there just makes like Mark yeah yeah.

I still want you guys to do that as an opening but

hops.

Yeah, right. Nailed it.

It was quick.

Beer.

It's got a bit of a stone fruit taste and

some happiness.

A sweet

finish finishes with a little happiness, but not a big burn for a double the 8.2%.

I love it.

It's good.

I'm happy.

Sounds like it totally fits the algorithm.

It fits the algorithm.

This can is really on fire. I love it.

And do you prefer this one or the regular num num?

I would probably drink the regular num num a little more frequently

because I mean, when I drink a double, it's fast too.

So able to have a few more ranks.

But if I'm just going to have one or something, then this is perfect.

It's really good.

I'm happy that 88.2 is sort of wheelhouse for me.

Is it seems. Like beer for flex.

Yeah.

You are much more seasoned than me.

Yeah.

Have you guys been watching the the She-Hulk series on Disney+?

Yes, I have.

I've actually been enjoying it very much so.

Well, in there they describe that like when she's hold out, she can drink

way more.

Like her metabolism is super fast and she can't get hammered.

It's usually yeah back like she's normal person get Tamara flexes the fucking.

Holster he hot yeah he's. So really. Good he

the hulk he can drink.

Without getting drunk.

My gosh I just had an epiphany that explains the short shorts.

Because Hulk's shorts are really short.

Yeah, because when he.

Oh this is. Rips through them. Yeah.

They're green short shorts.

That's why this never crossed my mind before.

Well.

So now I got to talk.

Now I got to get my purple shorts, you know?

Yeah, right.

Oh. There you go.

Halloween costume, 2020. Two.

I was actually thinking Macho Man this year, but.

Oh, yeah. So not sentenced on.

If you do.

Will you please walk around with boxes of Slim Jims?

Yeah, I could probably do that.

I get them at work.

I can give you Slim Jim pretzel necklace.

Yes, that sounds amazing.

Amazing.

That'd be so.

Who the fuck doesn't want to snap into a Slim Jim? No.

Yeah, everyone. Does.

Anybody who cares about their health doesn't want it.

But that being said, that sounds delicious.

We love you, Slim Jim.

Don't like sue us or something anyhow.

All right, well, that's the.

It's probably the most publicity they've gotten in years.

Right? Probably accurate.

Somebody mentioned us. Right?

They're very shallow. They're long.

That's true.

Let's talk about Slim Jims and Circuit City.

Very relevant product.

Most either have been made in a decade.

Fantastic.

All right. What's going on, you guys?

I went to my first actual concert since COVID.

Ale was in.

Oh, and I did not get a black eye.

I miss it.

I mean, that is not.

Not the full effect of a concert.

You got to get the black guy. In there clearly. Done it wrong.

You were not serving enough.

Yeah, I was.

I, I did not ask for the full flex treatment when I walked into the door.

So anyway, we went saw Andrew McMahon.

For those who don't know,

he was the front man for something corporate back in the day.

And then Jack's mannequin and now just Andrew McMahon on his own.

But it was his 40th birthday, so he did sets with something

corporate, brought him out that is set with Jack's mannequin crew,

which is like half his current crew anyways.

And then did like the Andrew McMahon set is actually really awesome show.

Yeah, it sounds really good.

So I know a lot of the old school emo people know who something corporate is.

So even for those of you who do know he did Constantine and it took like

18 minutes to get through.

So that was good times all the guys came out for that one.

Everyone's like, who?

You know, it's a really it's like his stairway to heaven.

It just never ends.

I mean, he never does it at concerts because it takes up the time of,

like, three songs.

He doesn't want to, you know, take a little time anyway.

So so that was fun is down in Orange County in Anaheim near Disneyland.

And so on the way back we were like, Well, let's drink our way home.

It's like a two hour drive, so why don't we do a little research on what's.

Safer than that? Yeah, nothing.

So, you know, breweries don't open till noon,

but we found a brewery in the area is called Chapman Crafted.

I'd heard of it. I'd never been there before.

And they in the mornings do coffee,

their own craft coffee, and then at noon you can start ordering beer.

So we got there about 11, had some delicious coffee.

I seen the picture. I looked really gnarly.

It was so good.

I have to admit, the coffee was better than the beer.

Like the beer wasn't wasn't bad.

It wasn't amazing.

It was just, you know, it was good beer solid.

But the coffee was really, really good.

Like, I'd go back for coffee all the time. That was delicious.

And then we were in the area and we'd heard of this place called Brew.

Home Brew Home Brewing a brew home something.

Well, that's. A fun name.

I like that a lot, right? It's a fun name. So we looked it up.

We found it.

Amazing location.

Like the building is super cool.

Great place to hang out. Huge spot.

Somebody was having, like their one year old's first birthday and they

he took a like at the brewery and just brought

in, like, tons of homemade Chinese food.

I was so jealous, like, hi, can I.

Can I join your party and have some Chinese food, please?

At one point the somebody asked the grandma, like,

where'd you guys get this from?

She's like, I made it like, super.

I was like, Fuck, I want.

So that is super offended.

Yeah, but the beer.

I don't enjoy talking shit about breweries, but the beer was no bueno.

No, man, no.

Like we ordered.

We always like the wife and I will get a flight, we'll share it.

And then if it's good, you know, we'll move on to either another flight or,

you know, a pint of what we liked or whatever.

None of them none of them are like we were choking them down and like the guy

was kind of like we walked up and he just kind of us was like, Can we order?

He's like, Yeah, like we do flight.

Yeah, I guess. I was like, Oh, so.

That's what he said.

Yeah, it was real.

Like she, like he was annoyed by us because we were the first customers

he'd had in a while and I guess he had to work.

But as we get to our flight, doesn't tell us like what order it's in.

We had to figure it out, which luckily were nerds.

So I could like smell my way through the order and figure out which was which.

Because you got your sister on untapped.

It makes sense. That's right.

It was it honestly, it was so bad.

It got to the point where it just like, let's fucking pound these and bounce.

And we, we just plugged in and and got out of there was

I hope I hope we ordered the six worst beers they make.

That's all I can say. Yeah that but. And bad service.

So that's like a double like double negative, right.

That didn't. Help. Yeah.

Then we redeemed versus we totally.

Redeemed.

And we hit up Radiant Brewing, which we've had them on the show

and we've been there a few times.

And if you're looking for a hazy which honestly

good hazy and so Cal are not always easy to come by man.

Radiant fucking knows what they're doing with

the haze is it's the former crew over from the brewery.

So, you know, they know what's up there call schism and just everything

they had a sour that was so good so we brought back lots of cans.

I pulled a flex, bought a hat. It was. Yes.

Not subsets.

Yeah, it was. Black on black. It's pretty sweet.

That is sweet.

And then finally,

as we got closer to home, we stopped in at Malibu Brewing again and.

Oh, I got. Some good.

And a couple Berliners.

Say gourmet food did yourself to death or what?

Honestly, we'd already had lunch and it was unexpected.

So we're like, Well, let's just have some beer.

And so we had a couple.

They had Berliners and they're Berliners.

Berliners are three and a half percent. And, you know, we'd kind of like an old.

Traditional that's pretty red. So. Holy.

She had a coat. Yeah, I had a couple of those.

And then crawler to go and rain.

One of the counters that we talked about last time when we're there was

there was hanging out and talking to us and so good time at Malibu as for huge

but man I tell you nothing like going to a concert.

It's.

Oh god it's the best live music just the atmosphere that yeah

everybody's there for the same reason because they just fucking love the music.

So yeah.

It's like the closest thing to a religious experience.

All, all enjoy.

So when is Aftershock coming up?

Yeah, it's October, I think ninth or whatever.

We have four day passes.

God, I'm like, wow, I know.

I'm just like, oh, we're like, we're working out.

We're trying to make sure we're in good shape.

Yeah, it's like, I want to be there.

Well, not just for that, but it's like, dang, this is a big commitment.

Let's, let's do this. Do that up your liver.

It makes me grimace back in the eighties.

Seriously? We got bean. Bags to go.

Yeah. Are you bringing the kids to this?

Oh, hell, no. Oh, no, no. On kids.

I was like, oh, I in family to watch the kids for this so.

Wow. Yeah.

It's a four day Dr. Money. It's right

my brother and

yes you know Portland's not that far is 150 bucks.

All right, people.

But worth it for.

In the frontier. What do you.

Think?

It's.

Yeah, they got the 12 hour flight from Portland.

It's normally 2 hours, but it's. Yeah, it's worth it.

And they.

Bought their.

Ticket, but they have to pay their on baggage

fees, which are double their ticket.

Prices.

They come in at three in the morning and got a Uber to my house.

So I get to actually get to the little jetway.

They just stop on the tarmac and I have to walk to the airport.

And they're not actually able to land.

And Floyd, the rescue slide and that's how they get down.

That's a soft. Landing for front you.

Sorry, we keep cutting you off. You're flying.

No, that's fine.

So? So my brother and sister in law are also coming, and.

Yeah, so we're all going to go.

My brother's like six, six.

He's a big dude.

And so it's always fun going with my brother because people

either always starts off with big dudes or there's girls

that want to like sit on his shoulders because he's so tall.

There's always something that goes down.

Yeah, when my brother's around.

So it's always a good time. Is he.

Is he a single gentleman?

No, no.

He's married to my best friend from high school, so, like.

Yeah. Well, that's cool.

Well, it was awkward for a while, I'll tell you that.

Awkward? Yeah. Yeah.

All the things girls talk about, all of a sudden you're like, I don't want to know.

Let's now this is.

No, but now it's like, so they got kids. So last night.

No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no.

Yeah. It's like we're all hanging out party.

And I'm like, we're robin and go, oh, damn.

So yeah, it was.

Yeah, it was. It was a thing. That's funny.

But we were good friends for years before that. Yeah, it's all good.

We're going to have a great time. But I'm with you on the concert thing.

It is just it's an experience that can be like also exhausting.

So we're like trying to get ready for this. Like.

Oh, it's super exhausting.

I couldn't imagine four days or something like that.

That's crazy. We're going to do it.

I'm going to surprise.

You with how much dancing and moshing I do.

I would be dead.

I mean, actually, that.

You would have black eyes.

Yeah. Like you would.

Seriously, you.

Would never get a black guy. I mean.

I would have to, like, make up.

Well, we they went to one show. We got rained on.

It was like the one time in 18 years that's rain in Southern California.

And we got a hotel near the venue.

I'm like, Oh, we'll walk that way.

We can, like get hammered at the concert, not worried about it and so we,

we walked in. It was just drizzling. It's like a block. Yeah.

And I was like, this is fine.

So we're we're kind of like walking quickly halfway there, it started dumping.

So we're we jog our way to the venue and we get there

and they have is lined up outside to check IDs.

They wouldn't let us in.

Was it a 21 and over show?

No, but if you want a beer, you had to check your ID outside.

So you get a bracelet.

They wouldn't do it. Inside is like, what the fuck?

So we stood in line and somebody complained and this guy was like, Well,

if I got to be out here, you got to be out here.

I was like, Yeah, but you're getting paid to be, right?

Yeah, I paid to be here.

Right. So and then we get in

and they take our ticket and there's this wide open lobby.

I was like, You guys could have fucking checked our ideas in here.

This is Jane.

No, I was so pissed.

So we're drenched the entire thing.

No common sense.

And then that.

Yeah. And the beer was shit.

Shit. Selection of beer.

But figures that's the worst.

It is. We, we made up for it the next day though.

So all of our research, in fact, we brought some cans of we had some Malibu

brewing cans and a couple of green cans.

We brought them down to the little pre-game, a little post-game at the hotel.

So at least we had good beer there.

So anyways, good times. You're so smart.

Always, always prepared. Always

want to be on.

Yeah, I know.

Just walking with the car goes. I could not pat me down there, please.

Thank you. I don't want to warm up the beer.

My quads are sensitive.

Yeah.

My. It's not quite quad.

Not quite gin.

Somewhere in the middle.

Yeah. Right.

Sensitive side of my knee is quite sensitive and has a tumor.

Please don't touch.

Not humor.

Those shorts are way too long.

Yeah, that's all I pictured in my mind is how long those shorts are.

Way too long.

There for you.

We got to get you, like, cargo short shorts.

Oh, that's so cute, little Jesus.

Cute, so cute. Little.

Tiny little pockets.

If you. If you could find them, I'll wear them.

But they got to erupt.

The hardest part is finding, like, stretchy shorts.

Like casual stretchy shorts.

Right. Because, like rings.

Yeah, regular shorts don't fit around my legs.

Those open trunks, that's genetics.

We can. Probably have. Yeah, it is a do.

Is it. Your work.

I don't know.

I don't know if it's a good problem to have.

It's, I feel like.

We didn't want that problem.

You could work out other areas, right?

Thank skinny legs if you want to.

Skinny legs.

It's like now that I got big legs, it's like, let's I guess, just keep them.

Your name is Flex, isn't it?

It is just flex edge.

On my birth certificate and everything.

Flex. Right, so I'm sexy.

Middle name

meaning no middle name me last name appear on.

Of area, right? Like it was a funny story.

There was we were out one of my friends had won a beer contest for

to have his recipe made at a local brewery

and it was a caramel caramel apple pop sour like him.

Are those Carmel apple suckers that they give out every year

and they just totally fucking nailed that.

This beer was spot on.

Probably the best beer I've had this year.

And I even told told my friend that to

mob craft brewing did it.

And they did such a great job. Wow.

I mean, they have a really brilliant sour program to begin with.

And, you know, being that this was a sour, they just really nailed it.

But somebody left their wallet or something at the bar

and the bartender takes it and it's like walking around

saying this person's name, asking if anybody is this person.

And I just look around. I was like, No, I'm flex.

And everybody just

started busting out laughing, you know, is it kind of in the moment thing?

But it just made me laugh because that's what everybody calls me.

But I don't know. I don't think anybody actually knows my real name.

Sometimes even local people you hang out with your flex.

Yeah, people call me flex or flex.

Your kids call you Daddy Flex.

Terrified, terrified.

Emergency forms.

Called out for.

Conflicts. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Flex me a field trip.

Maybe I should just legally change my name.

Yeah. Pull Hulk Hogan.

Change it to Hogan instead of Blair. Yeah.

Let me legally change it.

Like I hope you. Did. I think he did.

Why wouldn't he?

Because I think his kids are all Hogan do.

They are.

So. Yeah. Do it. Come on.

All right, fine. Is there.

A beer?

Serve beer. I love that.

I'm looking for Mr.

A beer is.

Flex. Me a beer here.

And alphabetically.

You're golden, right? You want your last name?

Start with the name. You're good. Oh, it's true.

That's first verse in the phone book, even though it doesn't exist anymore. So.

You know, what do they actually do? Exist?

We got one a couple of months ago and I was like, What the fuck?

They still send out Yellow Pages. What a. Waste.

Green Johnson Apparently they do. All right.

It's like the size of, like, a regular magazine now.

It's like, not what it used.

It's not what it used to be.

Just everyone over 80 years old.

Right?

Yeah.

The for the

for people who still have their landlines and then a bunch of yellow pages.

All right. That's that's funny.

All right.

Before we hear from the homie to your beer, let me make a call

to the pen real quick.

So he calls to the bullpen for beer.

Well, as we ramp up for Spooky

season, people are getting excited for a Halloween

pumpkin. Beer, pumpkin.

Exactly. I am drinking this pumped.

No, fuck, no, I'm drinking.

Compliments of Tabor, Holy Mountain and Boneyard Beer's

collaboration called Holy Bones.

Cascadian Dark IPA.

It is, of course, 6.66% has 66 Abbey

use and a 3.98 an untapped.

Oh they couldn't make it a 6.66.

That's like I know it's a lot of sixes in there.

I now I just needed one more.

They say the high priest calls upon you to pass judgment on this ale.

Will it be broadsword or the third rebel?

Whatever that is a choral or prayer

from the depths as a buck at an least, hop the shit out of it.

And the holiest of bones has risen.

We join together and bring you the Cascadian Dark IPA.

I appreciate that they swore in there untapped.

Can we just stop for a second and give you a round of applause

for not messing that up? That was.

And that has never happened.

In fact, mic quality right there. Okay. Right.

I feel like I just got back from a wren fairs and then you're right.

All right. I'm the schnoz.

I get a lot of that sweetness that you get from a buck and then a lot of hop.

Piney Miss, following that up, let me dig in here

with the way less sexy and longer shorted tongue jabber.

Bone yard is in Bend.

If I remember correctly, I have family in Bend and

they got some good beer in back.

But Boehner yard.

Yes that was like, oh, okay.

Good job. Okay, that's what I thought.

I was then out here for the last 2 minutes, try to figure that out.

That's when Flex goes outside.

He goes into his burner here.

This is a little bit chocolaty, a little bit sweet.

And they nailed it when they said they'd top the shit out of it.

It is old school piney resin

the and dank and finishes extra dry which makes you it take more sips

yeah good yeah this is my first from either these two breweries.

Really.

Boneyard yeah.

Or boner beer bone boner here.

Here.

And I don't know if you guys see the canned cans. Pretty sweet.

I can't see it.

And I believe that is they chose the the broadsword is.

Okay from what I would any that means but.

I don't know he's holding the sword and it was in the description.

I don't know stuff nerd stuff.

Nerd style gossip.

The things to devour for ahead of up.

If you guys haven't shopped on TiVo before, use promo code unfiltered.

Get ten bucks off your first purchase.

All right, so we check in with the homie, see what she was up to.

I can't really curious about this one.

Start taking notes.

Hello.

No one is available to take your call.

Please leave a message after the tone aways.

Homies to you. Be here.

Craft beer, republic to your beer.

So check it out, homies. I was some notes

as I listen to the show and I want to talk about some stuff homie.

Let's get this one out of the way real quick Busta Rhymes where you are

absolutely capital wrong homie.

Busta Rhymes When he raps every word

that comes out of his mouth is actually a fucking word.

Holmes That is what happens in accurate.

He does not do the minimum number.

He's actually saying words, and I should tell you.

But I mean, rapper kind of like the lyrics.

Yeah.

Let's go to Malibu Beer Company.

You talk about it.

I looked for one of the huge targets in this country, about five games

this season.

And every game that I go to, I make sure they are playing against the madres.

I don't like the madres matches.

There's one player that I really, really dislike by the name of my shadow.

My voice just started coming back because I boo the hell out of him

on Friday, homie.

That's the only player that I will boo

and I make sure he hears me and it's very,

very loud when I boo machado homie

there was a Dodger and he never hustle these Spike other players.

It's just a dirty, dirty player anyways.

Never buy him this. Talk about some beers.

Dodger Stadium does have a couple craft beers like L.A.

Works, Santa monica Brewing Company,

and they do have Malibu Beer Company or whatever.

They have Noble Brewing Company. Malibu Beer Company.

They do have it.

I think we had a golden paradise, which is a golden ale.

I did order two cans.

There are 12 ounce cans. I don't remember the price.

I didn't get to drink them because they didn't have them in stock for me.

So I think the brand has been pulled out of the stadium.

Craft beer, I think is only Sierra Nevada and

L.A. Ale Works and oh, the Santa monica Beer Company.

And they also do have brew yard homie.

That's the question I have

you ever have brew your I have you ever been to brew your.

I have. Have you ever been disappointed by them?

I have. I don't

I don't know how they got the beers at Dodger Stadium.

My hat's to them, but their beer is not really that amazing to be there.

There's a brewery, a stone's throw away,

and they have a beer called baseball that's dedicated to the Dodgers.

And that brewery is called Highland Park Brewery.

Why are they not at Dodger Stadium?

The why is that beer not there?

Why is that brewery not their homey?

You know how much fucking beer

I would buy if Highland Park was at Dodger Stadium homes?

Enough said.

The sad thing is

by two they Zappa's and then I started chugging

mango cards because there are 90.2 cans

and they're a little bit cheaper than 16 ounce cans of IPA by Santa monica.

That cost me 18 bucks. So it is what it is.

It's a situation of drinking toilet wine, beer.

So that's what you got to do. So there you go.

Can we get Highland Park Brewery adult stage at the stadium?

How how did Brew Yard get into Dodger Stadium?

Why not Highland Park as a me rural me this

the other thing is for flex flex

these fucking honeybees or fruit flies or whatever you call them,

one way to get rid of that is wash your damn cans

only the way that you wash your balls after you work out.

Rinse out your cans after a drinking session, homie.

Get rid of the slash at the at the bottom of your cabinet.

You can't get in your glass, rinse it out real quick and pop it in your

wherever you recycle, homie, and you will not have that issue.

So treat your cans the way you treat your balls.

This is to you beer.

He had to watch you piss out.

She was calling you from now.

One word of wisdom. Wow.

All right, first of all, go listen to this song.

Look at Me Now, featuring Busta Rhymes.

He absolutely murdered.

Right out, out, out, out, out, out.

Yeah, it's a it's a no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Yeah, yeah. Look, I love Busta.

He does a great job of his management is, but he absolutely does it.

And as far as the Malibu

brewing at Dodger Stadium, I actually talked to Ryan about this.

He says they are the cheapest craft beer at Dodger Stadium.

And so because of that, it flies off the shelves

and they're not able to keep it in stock.

So they haven't been they're not out of Dodger Stadium.

They're just doing their best to keep up with demand.

It's a lager.

It's it's delicious.

And it's the cheapest one you can buy at the park.

So people buy it up just because it's cheap. Wow.

So there's that. Yeah.

And yeah, flex washer balls.

I guess I'll have to. See.

Your cans and your balls.

But for actually I have been rinsing out my cans ever since then because I

guess I didn't take into consideration the hot summers

and the hot garage where everything just incubates and.

Yeah.

And we're, you know, we're getting through.

There's probably about like four fruit flies maybe left

in my house that I can't fucking get rid of.

Is that for your balls or your cans?

Right.

The jury's out on that one.

I don't know.

We saw the short shorts.

Any fires? Did you? That's true.

No buzz. And you're right.

Yeah, it seemed clean.

Very clean. Kinetic.

Enough about my balls.

I don't know

enough about your balls.

You know, they're doing flex. Greg and I had some stuff.

Yeah.

Let me get my scroll out here.

Notes and notes about your balls.

Like chew with this paper.

Okay? Okay.

First thing. Yeah.

First thing.

Your shorts.

I can see your balls.

Second,

black disguises like the green and the gray.

Essentially. Accentuate.

That.

Is 100% accurate.

I am excited. Yes.

All right.

We'll get off we'll get off the ball subject.

Greg lights up so much when we get there. So it's true.

Have to really enjoyed it.

Sorry, everyone.

Thanks for listening.

You're still. For whatever.

Whatever ego I have is is because of Greg.

And my love for your. Bones.

I. Oh, we should move on now.

What else? We got that.

Well, Heineken UK has finally

taken full ownership of London's Beavertail guy.

We went from balls to beers of one.

We are an equal opportunity pass.

Greg.

You are not wrong.

All inclusive, very inclusive

has taken full ownership of London's Beavertown Brewery.

A couple of years ago,

they bought a stake in the brewery, and now they are full owners.

And this, if you guys remember, I think it's been a couple of years,

but they had a I think pre-COVID, they had a festival planned out, Beavertown did.

And once they got partially bought out by Heineken, everyone dropped out

because Heineken is a shitty slave wage company.

Oh, really? I did not know that. Yeah.

Yeah.

Like, they they go to countries where, like,

there's no labor laws and brew their beer there and stuff.

So jeez, that's it's almost as gross as their beer.

Yeah.

So remember that next time you're drinking a beavertown or

or a Leonidas, or just a plain, old fashioned, disgusting heinie.

Yeah. Yeah.

According to Drizly over Labor Day weekend, light lagers and American lagers

gained a huge share on their app and seltzers went down.

Interesting. Yes.

Yay for real beer.

Yay for lager.

And at that they were so light.

Still a lager, right?

They went up because it was frickin hot.

I mean, it was like a ten degrees on the entire planet.

So it's not like they're saying IPAs or Stouts or whatever.

It was like no lagers over Seltzers because.

Right.

It was hot. It was it was speaking of balls.

It was balls out. It was ridiculous.

I can't wait to see who enjoys this one.

Dunkin Donuts

doing their annual release with Harpoon Brewing of their pumpkin beer.

And this year they're making it a multipack

with coffee roll, hazelnut and cold brew.

To. Bring me the pumpkin.

Greg.

I try to. Bring a pumpkin.

Yeah. I don't hate on pumpkin beers.

I, I enjoy me a nice pumpkin beer with some spice.

You know, I might enjoy a nice pumpkin beer if I ever found a nice pumpkin maker.

That Buffalo Bill's oatmeal stout dark pumpkin.

I need to get some. I will get it to you.

Is it widely distributed that.

Can I find it at a total wine or demo?

You probably can. And that's where I found it.

That's where I have, like, a total whiner about Moe.

And it's an oven, tin cans and aluminum.

You don't like that. And there's probably no chance.

That lake or lakefront brewing here does a pumpkin lager.

And it is fucking phenomenal.

Look, if you guys say it's good, I will look for it.

And if I find it, I will have it and give a fair assessment on the show.

I will not pretend to dislike it if I actually like.

Okay, do you like pump? Do you not like pumpkin at all?

Or it's like the beer and pumpkin combo.

Beer and pumpkin.

I love pumpkin pie. Like the pie.

Okay. In solid form.

But I hate when they attempt to make their beer taste like pumpkin pie.

Would you drink a pumpkin spice latte?

I've had one. It's whatever. Okay?

I don't care. I don't like them.

I don't hate them as much as, like, a beer.

But honestly, just too sweet for me.

That was the biggest. Problem that.

Dogfish Head is going to close their Miami taproom,

citing the increase in rent as the reason it's going to Spenser down there.

How many taprooms do they have?

Three or four.

Okay. I think it's going to be two or three.

Oh oh. Seven.

Yeah. Get a report from Vanessa. Let's see.

Doesn't say sorry, Vanessa. Yeah, we're missing out.

I went as a I. Vanessa.

Hey. So bad news for her.

Maybe I wasn't in on this one.

The best breweries near every NFL stadium.

And don't worry, I am not going to read every.

Now, do we maybe pick a few? Okay.

Erica, who's your team?

Do you have a football team?

Well, it's definitely not the Raiders.

If you remember that episode and those fans are assholes, but

and probably the Niners, I mean, perfect.

Well, that's a twofer because that's my favorite.

Okay.

So 40 Niners and of course, Levi's Stadium, not anywhere near San Francisco.

Okay.

They say touchdown is a category.

So good bear bottle brewing company in Santa Clara

and then their first down, which is like almost as good, humble

sea brewing company at their Pacifica or Santa Cruz Taprooms.

Okay, this is really good.

Yeah.

That humble sea for sure and not had beer bottle brewing.

And then flex of course is a fan of the fudge packers.

I love PAC and fudge.

Yeah so sweet. And listen,

let's see if you've been to any of these ones.

Touchdown Badger State Brewing.

I have not, but I've heard a lot of good things.

Okay.

And then first down Interline Brewing.

We did go to Hinterland last year for my birthday, actually.

We went up to Green Bay.

We toured the stadium and then for dinner cruise over to Hinterland Nice.

And then because Eric is such a big fan, if you're in Vegas seeing the Raiders

touchdown Neon Desert brewing and first down

Abel Baker Brewing Company never had either of them.

Okay, anybody else?

Anybody want to know about any of their teams? Okay.

What about.

Nope, nope.

I had Nick Nash at Soldier Field in Chicago.

So you.

I'm just trying. It out there. Chicago.

What are the what beer.

The people drinking that are in the not in Chicago.

Probably, but.

Probably Goose. Island. Yeah, that's true.

Touchdown.

Moody Tung, Brewing Company, Mony Tang.

Never heard of it.

And then first down is.

Oh, God, here's a name done a year.

Duende y rr dernier artisan fermenter project. Oh.

Okay. News to me.

Mm Yeah. It sounds boozy.

Does that kind of sounds like they might have some good sours, though?

Just by the name. Yeah.

So anyways, and then I figured I'd do this one just because it's

from where I'm at the ram slash chargers because they, they share a stadium.

Three Weavers Brewing is a touch down. Great brewery.

There's three weavers. Yeah.

And then first down Cummins Space Brewery in El Segundo.

I don't know if I've had any. Comment I don't think. Yeah.

Like I've heard about that but I don't yeah.

I've, I've never had any things.

Yeah. I don't, I don't know that I've had anything from them.

So anyhow that's pretty much it.

Mm hmm. I won't hit some music.

I'm glad we made it through today.

Not to loud.

Too painful with my English abilities. I'm very excited.

You did great today.

So articulate today, Greg.

Oh, God. Unique New York. It was fantastic.
