1 00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:03,100 Dip the balls in glitter. That's pretty nuts. 2 00:00:03,460 --> 00:00:28,500 Welcome in everybody. It's the Craft Beer Republic. Thanks for drinking. Thanks for joining. I am Greg. I'm being joined by Flex's mom's favorite son. What's up buddy? 3 00:00:28,580 --> 00:00:40,420 Oh, hey man. I was thinking about this today. Flex, amateur beer drinker, expert shit talker. That's pretty legit. You should get a business card made. Yeah, that's pretty legit. 4 00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:44,040 Yeah, yeah. And like full-time drunk? 5 00:00:45,180 --> 00:00:48,180 Jury's out on that one. 6 00:00:48,340 --> 00:00:52,260 Okay. We'll work on it. We'll workshop that one. 7 00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:58,860 Yeah, yeah. Maybe not go right at it. Sure. Full-time drinker. How about that? 8 00:00:59,260 --> 00:01:02,400 Yeah. We'll go in easy. Unlike when I did your mom last night. Hey. 9 00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:05,540 Oh, starting odd, aren't we? 10 00:01:05,820 --> 00:01:10,640 Greg, ladies and gentlemen, coming in hot. Good night everybody. Because I gave a couple of mom jokes. 11 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:21,600 And coming all the way from the Amazon, it's the Amazonian beer and pretzel goddess and the salty sailor. What's happening over there? 12 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,860 Hey, I had to put that on there because that's what Deb called me and I thought it was hilarious. 13 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,740 She called you the Amazonian beer and pretzel goddess? 14 00:01:28,980 --> 00:01:29,740 Yes, she did. 15 00:01:29,820 --> 00:01:31,700 She's like the Wonder Woman of the beer world. 16 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,480 Yeah. I think it's because I'm giant. Especially, you know, Deb is not very tall. 17 00:01:36,540 --> 00:01:39,480 How giant are you? I was going to say compared to Deb. Five foot 12. Yeah. 18 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,300 Oh, okay. Okay. Taller than I am. 19 00:01:42,300 --> 00:01:45,600 But yes. Hey, friends. I'm here. Glad to be here. Miss you all. 20 00:01:46,520 --> 00:02:06,380 All right. I was going to say RIP. That's not what I'm looking for. I wish you were beer. That's what I meant to say. All right. Jesus Christ. All right. I better get to drinking. So much to get to. Lots to talk about. We've got some booze news, some more brewery sales, some weird Planters, Miller High Life shit. 21 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:15,120 A great, great clip from the hockey championship winners. What is that? The Stanley Cup. 22 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,920 Stanley Cup. Yeah. Yeah. They win something. That's what it's called. 23 00:02:18,180 --> 00:02:28,780 Yeah. They got like a big cup and whatever. Anyways, great clip and true golden. True golden. So let's trap in for that one. True golden? Yeah. Right. 24 00:02:28,940 --> 00:02:29,480 Just kidding. True. 25 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,680 It's a special day. I'm glad I'm on today. 26 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:41,680 This never happens when you're on, right? No. Yeah. So, but first, before we do anything, let's kick off a little hydration. 27 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:08,160 I feel like I'm watching like a Madonna video over here or something. I was doing the Blue Beanie. That's pretty good. How cute. You like that? 28 00:03:08,580 --> 00:03:24,040 Pretty good. All right. Thanks to Erica. We're both over here drinking New Glory's Citra Dream. 6.8% has a 4.0 on untapped and a 91 on beer advocate. Yowza. Yeah. 29 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:45,520 All in. They say this hazy IPA, simply put, our love to Citra hops. We use 100% Citra in various and peculiar ways throughout the brewing process to get as much delicious flavor and complexity as possible. Utilizing a flavorful blend of Thomas Fawcett Pearl, rolled oats, and flaked 30 00:03:45,520 --> 00:04:05,000 wheat. We charge this brew during the boil, the whirlpool, the fermentation, and secondary dry hop. You'll enjoy layer upon layer of fresh papaya, pineapple juice, rock sugar, and overripe tropical fruit, all backed by a smattering of bright citrus. That was a big one. 31 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:20,860 Yeah. You need to wet that palate now, Greg. Yeah. I need to get in there. Yeah. I love some New Glory beer and this is one of their just solid staples, Citra Dream. First off, it is hazy looking when it says hazy. So scoring some points there, right, Greg? We're not fucking around. 32 00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:37,000 We're not. We're not. We are what we say we are here at New Glory. And yeah, there wasn't a real big head on mine when I poured it. Just a slight head and yeah, it's got a kind of a citrusy aroma. 33 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,900 And when I taste it, one second, what do you think, Greg? 34 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:54,940 Yeah. I didn't get a ton on the nose, but on the old tongue jobber, I was getting a lot of the overripe tropical fruit. I'm not an expert in papaya. I wish Flex was here to stick his tongue in this for me. I guess that could be papaya. It's very tropical tasting. 35 00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:09,260 You know papaya when you can't figure out what else it is. All right. Then I nailed it. It's like this, I don't know. It's hard to say. It's almost like a danky sweetness almost. Yeah. That's pretty on it. 36 00:05:09,820 --> 00:05:10,300 Super mild. 37 00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:14,200 Yeah. That's not too sweet, but that's papaya. 38 00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:28,760 Yeah. All right. Then I'm going with papaya. I'm enjoying this. It's a very smooth mouthfeel. A little light on the lacing. Flex loves the sexy lacing. This one- I do love the sexy lacing. Not so laced, but other than that, a great drinking experience. 39 00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:42,860 Yeah. It's not a sexy lacing, but it's got a sexy flavor, Flex. You would dig it. I taste a little tangerine. It's got a silky mouthfeel. I love the mouthfeel of this. And yeah, finish is nice. I could drink a few of these. 40 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,160 That's my favorite part of a good hazy is that silky mouthfeel. 41 00:05:46,180 --> 00:05:49,380 So good. Yeah. Nice and pillowy and all that good stuff. 42 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,980 It almost feels like you just have air in your mouth. 43 00:05:52,800 --> 00:06:08,760 Yes. Boozy air, daddy. Yeah. So I got this because Erica brought it down from NorCal with her on her trip to SoCal. Oh, yeah. Y'all got to hook up. Well, careful what you say. That sounds dirty, but- 44 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:23,720 It's not so great. But yes, yes, we did. Erica came out, as did Deb and Brian, Nick and Nicole, of course, the wife and I. Am I missing anybody? Oh, Little Flex was there. Little Flex. Yeah, that was hilarious. 45 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:38,480 This was amazing. So can I throw this? So in the chat, it was like, oh, someone should make a little cardboard cut out of Flex, blah, blah, blah. And Shannon came through. I mean, she even chiseled out his muscles. Flexing, it was perfect. It was brilliant. 46 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,260 Shannon probably won't listen to this, but I really did appreciate that. Thank you, Shannon. She did well. 47 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:58,100 Yeah. It was funny because she had talked about it before anybody in the chat had talked about it. She goes, do you think we should print out Flex's face and bring it with us? And how funny that would be. I was like, yeah, I can handle that. This sounds creepy. I already have a picture of Flex cut out. 48 00:06:58,100 --> 00:06:58,860 No, you didn't. 49 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:14,720 Because I used it for other graphics or whatever. And it was the one we used. And so I printed out it's like Flex flexing. So it's more than just the face. She's like, well, why don't you want just the face? It'll be bigger. So it'll be like more like life size. I was like, but it's Flex. He's got a fucking Flex. 50 00:07:14,860 --> 00:07:32,860 No, that was perfect. That was so good. I woke up, you know, because I'm an old man. So I go to bed quite early around here, like 8, 15, 830. And to wake up to all those pictures that everybody posted and sent, you really made me feel loved. All the way, like 2000 miles away, whatever the fuck it 51 00:07:32,860 --> 00:07:36,380 is. You guys are like the best of friends. 52 00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:48,320 We had fun with it. I tried to get it printed out on a poster, like I like staples or some shit. And it's two last minute. And to get it done that day was like 60 bucks. I was like, 53 00:07:48,340 --> 00:07:53,500 Flex, I love you. But what are you going to do with that after? That's the thing. 54 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,460 I don't want to know. We're not going to even get into that. 55 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:04,500 Have it as your background or like when we record here. They're just hanging out the wall. Yeah. 56 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:11,500 Guns a blazing. I just put on the ceiling above our bed. Depending on who's on top, either the wife or I can enjoy it. 57 00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:14,480 I think he would really make good use out of that. It's a win win. 58 00:08:14,860 --> 00:08:16,860 Yeah, it really, really is. 59 00:08:16,860 --> 00:08:20,460 You know what? $60 well spent. Really? Seriously? 60 00:08:21,660 --> 00:08:24,780 Oh, $60, a lifetime of orgasms. 61 00:08:24,860 --> 00:08:26,200 Oh, lord. 62 00:08:26,780 --> 00:08:27,820 Sounds like a MasterCard commercial. 63 00:08:30,340 --> 00:08:33,400 But we could just sell posters of me and that'd be like the tagline. 64 00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:47,520 Be so good. Put them in the merch store. But yeah, so we hit up a couple breweries. We went to... We started at Naughty Pine, had a couple beers there. We went on to 14 Cannons. You had a babysitter debacle. Your night was cut a little short. It was awful. 65 00:08:48,040 --> 00:09:04,300 Yeah. Yeah. And McDreamy couldn't make it because he was a good... He stuck back with the kids. We could have brought him, but we're not the type of people that bring our kids just running around in a brewery unless they're in great condition or we know the situation. So if we had time, we would have made a McDreamy cut out too. That would have been hilarious. 66 00:09:04,540 --> 00:09:22,480 But it was so awesome seeing everyone. And Nick cracks my ass up. I've only met him twice. And every time there's a theme, the first time it was the hot sauce situation at Firestone. Oh, yeah. And then this time it was the van. He was all tripped out because we drive in a converted 67 00:09:22,980 --> 00:09:39,340 camper van. We had been camping and all that. And he was like, your van. I think he had some special dreams about it being like a big white van with no windows. And I was going to loan it to Coley. I don't know. But that's where I pulled the beers from. And yeah, it was kind of funny. 68 00:09:39,420 --> 00:09:40,640 He just kept talking about the van. 69 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,580 I think he did a solid 20 minutes on like tying someone up inside the back of the van. 70 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:51,620 It's just like he has some special vantacies going on. Oh, vantacies. Wow. He has some vantacies. 71 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:57,140 We need like a big Nick shirt where it's like his face and it says, tell me your vantacies. 72 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,240 Tell me your vantacies. 73 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,100 That'd be so good. 74 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:10,780 But yeah, it was awesome. It was awesome meeting Deb. Brian's a good, great guy. And, you know, seeing all you guys again, it was way too short, but at least it happened. So I'm glad. I'm grateful you guys made it. 75 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,680 I'm glad we made something happen. 76 00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:24,620 My favorite comment somebody made is when you guys were at 14 cannons, but you were holding up my cutout. And somebody said, now it's 16 cannons. Yeah. That actually made me laugh out loud. 77 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:42,440 I posted it. That was actually Shannon. She's like, it's 16 cannons. And he took me, I was like, it's what? Oh, brilliant. She's so smart. She comes in with those zingers every now and then. You're a lucky guy. Yeah. She tells me all the time how funny she is every now and then I believe her. But it's pretty difficult marriage. 78 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:50,480 So, but it was fun. So I'm glad you came down and yeah. I hope you enjoyed Naughty Pine and 14 cannons. 79 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:57,720 They were both fantastic, but I'm really excited about GABF because we'll get more hang time, but it was just a little taste of everyone getting together. 80 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,360 We won't remember it, but we'll get more hang time. 81 00:11:00,700 --> 00:11:01,100 Yeah. Right. 82 00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:05,040 Maybe a little hang time in August when we're going up that. 83 00:11:05,060 --> 00:11:07,460 Yeah, that's right. On the ninth. So that'll be good too. 84 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:14,820 You don't know the dates. I don't. And oh, hi, Vanessa. And happy birthday. 85 00:11:15,380 --> 00:11:18,500 What? Your birthday. She said something about birthday weekend. 86 00:11:19,180 --> 00:11:23,060 Oh shit. I've been very sort of MIA on the gram, but happy birthday. 87 00:11:23,340 --> 00:11:25,740 But I'm going to say happy birthday just to be safe. Yeah. 88 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:34,840 I think I've all but convinced her to go to GABF. Oh, that'd be great. That would be amazing. Now we just need flex. Yeah, I'm going to get right on that. Yeah. 89 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:50,040 Hold on. Let me go ask my wife right now. Ash, you want to, you know, our anniversary is back in May and she was talking about doing a Vegas trip, which I've talked about before. Maybe we could just, you know, go to Colorado instead. I don't know. Nothing wrong with that. 90 00:11:50,060 --> 00:11:53,120 Happy anniversary. I'm sure it's on her number one. Yeah, happy anniversary. 91 00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:57,780 I will not be spending any time with you whatsoever. Bring her to GABF. 92 00:11:58,060 --> 00:12:16,280 First of all. We'll take care of her. Yeah, we'll take care of her. She'll have a great time. Shannon and Erica are the perfect girls for her to be around. Like no one's, you know, hitting on Flexie except for me. She may hate me. Yeah, you are going. Yeah. Right. But beyond me, like she doesn't have any girls to worry about at that point. 93 00:12:16,380 --> 00:12:18,420 Just a couple of dudes. Classy ladies. 94 00:12:18,420 --> 00:12:33,180 I'll have a good time. Yeah. You may have to stand in front of my booth and you did say you would wear the green shorts and, you know, do your thing. Do you remember that? Yeah, we're gonna. Yeah. Okay. Of course. How could I forget? But, you know, it is what it is. 95 00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:36,840 If you don't show, they're going to force me to wear those green shorts and nobody wants to see that. 96 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:37,920 No, cargo shorts for you, Greg. 97 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:52,220 I'm not so sure about that, Greg. Well, one person wants to see. So anyways, good times. Can't wait for GABF. Father's Day. Anybody do anything fun for Father's Day? You guys get hammered on Father's Day? Like what do people our age with kids do on Father's Day? 98 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:57,760 We were at a Vision Quest Safari in Monterey. You speak in Spanish? In a bungalow. 99 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,960 Vision Quest. Like a vision master? Like from the 80s, 90s? What was that? 100 00:13:04,660 --> 00:13:21,420 Yeah. Yeah, it wasn't very exciting at all. It kind of sucked, honestly, but we had some friends we like there, so that was cool. It was supposed to be this interactive overnight experience. A friend organized and there's supposed to be animals coming by your tent and literally someone brought a skunk. That was our interactive experience. 101 00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:24,600 That sounds horrible. So yeah, we did have alcohol. 102 00:13:25,340 --> 00:13:25,820 Second worst. 103 00:13:26,420 --> 00:13:30,180 Yeah. I don't know what the worst is. Thankfully, Alvarado was nearby, so we went to Alvarado. 104 00:13:30,500 --> 00:13:33,800 Nice. That's not so bad. So that wasn't so bad. It's got to make up for it, right? 105 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,080 It totally did. Their beer and food was amazing. So how about you, Flex? You're the dad in the group. 106 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:49,620 So I work on Father's Day. Two days I hate out of the year. Well, three, really. I hate my birthday. I hate Father's Day and I hate Christmas. 107 00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:52,180 Hate them in general or hate working on them? 108 00:13:52,240 --> 00:14:10,820 No, it's just like I look forward to them before they actually happen. And then when the day comes, I just hate things being about me. Like, I don't want to... What is Christmas about you? You have kids. Well, Christmas is like whatever. Christmas is more like it's the only day I'm guaranteed off for the entire year, 109 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:27,720 but it's not an off day because you stay up all night building presents. And then you finally get some shitty sleep. Then you wake up and have to do the whole present thing. And then it's to this house and that house. And then you're putting toys. 110 00:14:27,820 --> 00:14:39,340 It's just not an off day. So it's kind of why I don't look forward to it. But like birthday and Father's Day, I just hate days being about me. I don't want to pick where to go to eat. I don't want to pick what to do. Let's just have a normal day. 111 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:40,340 Wow. 112 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:52,320 Interesting. I get that a little bit. When it comes to my birthday, I like to force people just to come hang out and get drunk with me. It's not like, hey, we must do this or celebrate me. It's like, I'm going to use this as an excuse for you to come drink with me. 113 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,860 And you're going to stay where you are so you don't have to drive anywhere or deal with it. 114 00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:12,180 Oh, yeah. Okay. Well, my one thing is I just want to have a couple of nice beers. I don't care if it's early, late in the day. I just want to have a couple of nice beers, relax. My big thing is relaxing. Which aside from working on Father's Day, it was a rather relaxing night. 115 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:31,440 We went to dinner at the in-laws, grilled up some steak, some chicken. My mother-in-law made this lemon dessert with a pretzel crust. It was phenomenal. I love lemon desserts. And my brother-in-law found this bourbon lemonade recipe off of social media. 116 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,060 And it's wonderful. And it's now like the family's new drink. 117 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:34,920 Oh, nice. 118 00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:51,260 So it's like limoncello, a bourbon, and fresh squeezed lemon juice. It's like super simple cocktail. Nice and easy. It's like one, two, three ounces of each part. Don't ask me which parts. Just maybe Google bourbon lemonade cocktail and figure it out. 119 00:15:51,860 --> 00:16:13,020 But it really is delightful. So it was a super chill evening sitting out on the patio. The kids played together with all the cousins and stuff. And then on Monday, the kids were... That was like I was off. So that was my actual Father's Day. Which basically was just me going to Eagle Park because the kids wanted to take me to Eagle Park. 120 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,840 So I thought that was really cute. 121 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,300 That is cute, actually. That's awesome. Kids know. 122 00:16:17,780 --> 00:16:27,100 So we met up with my parents there. We had a couple really good beers, obviously. Six dollar burger, best French fries in the world. So yeah, that was really wonderful. 123 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:27,840 Nice. 124 00:16:28,300 --> 00:16:31,840 But so funny story about that. I was there twice in three days. 125 00:16:32,620 --> 00:16:33,520 No one's surprised to hear that. 126 00:16:33,660 --> 00:16:48,900 No, but they had their big sixth anniversary party the Saturday before. And believe it or not, I was actually able to go. You broke free. So two years in a row, met my Monday date, Tim. What's up, Tim? And... I hate you, Tim. 127 00:16:49,100 --> 00:17:05,099 Got fucking blasted. Absolutely fucking plastered. Good. So I worked that morning as I usually do most Saturdays. Right. And I wake up at like 3 a.m. every week or every day. Everybody knows that. So I have my breakfast like 3.30 a.m. I ate my lunch at 8. 128 00:17:05,180 --> 00:17:19,760 I didn't have another bite of food until 8 p.m. Oh, I remember those days. So I crushed an 8% double, 10% triple, 8% double, 10% triple, 8% double. 129 00:17:20,060 --> 00:17:20,700 Oh, danger. 130 00:17:20,900 --> 00:17:39,360 And I finally realized, wow, I never ordered food like I thought I was going to order food. Whoops. It was a mistake. Sounds like it. But I woke up with a mild hangover, quickly dissipated in the early morning, and I was 131 00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:42,600 fucking fine. So total success. 132 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,420 Nice. That's not so bad then. 133 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,920 Yeah. And happy anniversary to Eagle Park. 134 00:17:47,220 --> 00:17:48,220 Yeah, happy anniversary. 135 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:49,440 They put on great shows. 136 00:17:49,820 --> 00:17:51,820 Yeah, I've had a couple of their beers thanks to you. 137 00:17:52,080 --> 00:18:07,000 Yeah, you're welcome. Got to see my buddy Sam's band play. So that was pretty cool. If anybody's into music, look up Wire and Nail. They are on Amazon Music. Check them out on Instagram, whatever. They're really good stuff. It's the first time I got to see them, and I was really blown away at how talented they were. 138 00:18:07,300 --> 00:18:08,800 So don't Google Sam's band. 139 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:15,440 Don't Google Sam's band, yes. Look up Wire and Nail. Got a much better name. And enjoy. 140 00:18:16,140 --> 00:18:32,300 All right, nice. In the morning, I cooked brunch for my stepdad. In the evening, I took my dad out to Pedals and Pints. Nice. Had a couple of beers, and drank some of Monica's stuff over there. Yeah, it's good times. 141 00:18:32,620 --> 00:18:34,260 Oh, so your dad lives in the area, Greg? 142 00:18:34,420 --> 00:18:38,400 Yeah. He's, I don't know, 15 minutes away or so. 143 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:47,740 Perfect. We call that the old hop, skip, and a jump. That's what we call that here. Is that a Midwest thing, the old hop, skip, and a jump? I think it might be, yeah. Okay. 144 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,460 I mean, I've heard it in a book or a... 145 00:18:50,460 --> 00:18:55,680 Maybe it's an old-timey thing, and I'm just old as fuck. I don't know. You're old. Somebody save me here. 146 00:18:55,980 --> 00:19:02,520 I'll just let you stew in it for a second. Just gonna hold, and... Just bath. Okay, we'll move on. 147 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,580 Thanks, guys. Made me feel real awkward. 148 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,340 Mission accomplished. Squeaky clean there. Exactly. 149 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:20,000 All right, before we get to some news and to Flex's beer, which I promise not to forget, we have a voicemail, like I said, from the homie Chew Your Beer. Here it is. 150 00:19:20,060 --> 00:19:24,980 Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please leave a message after the tone. 151 00:19:25,020 --> 00:19:41,540 Hey, yo, what's up? Crappy Republic, Never Fear, Chew Your Beer is here. So quick thing, homie, Pablo, your voicemail. Yeah, I did get a little hydrated, homie. I was nervous, like Greg said, and that shit caught up to me mid-recording, homies. 152 00:19:41,980 --> 00:19:57,260 I was feeling great, homie. Lifesaving. Had an amazing time. Wish you were there, homie. Wish you were there, homie. And LA Beer Week happened. I was at the LA Brewers LA Independent Beer Festival. That is not the name of the festival. 153 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:15,320 I just didn't remember. So I threw everything in it. Had an amazing time. Met up with my homie Tony Baggs. It was amazing. I was out of breath. I ate it, homie. I fucking fell. I rolled my ankle, face planted. This fucking tree came out of nowhere, homie. 154 00:20:15,820 --> 00:20:32,780 I'm there. One hand, I have my phone and I'm posting stuff on Instagram. So I'm holding my beer and this fucking tree just popped out of nowhere and took me out, homies. The trees are fast. It didn't matter. I didn't give a fuck. Speaking of trees, Flex, if your kid's going to be drawing the Christmas trees for Greg's 155 00:20:32,780 --> 00:20:48,140 annual Christmas tree ale, Greg, put me down for four bottles. Normally, I would always buy four magnums. I have two for Christmas and two for New Year. So put me down for four. So if she's going to be drawing the Christmas trees for the label, she needs to use your 156 00:20:48,140 --> 00:21:05,420 legs as the tree trunks for her drawings, homie. That way we know we have a strong foundation, homes. And then happy Father's Day to the fathers out there. This probably you probably hearing this shit like two months later. So happy Father's Day to anybody that's listening. 157 00:21:06,220 --> 00:21:21,460 You guys are special. We are very special. And without us, there wouldn't be kids, homie. There you go, homes. All right. You too, Greg. Happy Father's Day. You're a fur daddy. So, you know, happy Father's Day. That's kind of kinky. 158 00:21:21,820 --> 00:21:38,200 All right. This is Chew Your Beer. And I hope I answered all the questions and gave you some information you needed and made you chuckle here and there. And oh, July 3rd, Greg, I'm available to record. So this this place before then, listeners hit him on Instagram. 159 00:21:38,340 --> 00:21:53,520 Let him know you want me on the show. I'm available July 3rd. I know that's a Monday. I'm on vacation for the 4th of July. So, Greg, let me in, homie. Let me go to the studio, homes. And let me serenade you. All right. 160 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,480 That's it, homie. This is Chew Your Beer. You have to watch it, homies. Peace out, eh? 161 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:02,540 I love that he talks shit about me. Oh, this is going to come out in two months and then asked to be on the show. 162 00:22:02,900 --> 00:22:06,300 I'm going to pick a bone with that. He's a great guy. Yeah. Please. 163 00:22:06,580 --> 00:22:07,660 Happy Father's Day to him as well. 164 00:22:08,140 --> 00:22:24,880 Yeah. Happy Father's Day to you. But no, seriously, this podcast produces every week on the dial. Unlike some other beer podcasts of some people that we know, where they may not come out for two months. There's another beer podcast we know? Well, there is. There used to be. Coley might associate with them. 165 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,340 I like the consistency of this podcast. I'm just saying. 166 00:22:28,660 --> 00:22:30,660 I thought it was called The Coley Show. Isn't that what it's called? 167 00:22:31,020 --> 00:22:33,560 I think, yeah. I think that was the subtitle. Okay. 168 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:33,920 169 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,160 Coley. Coley rocks that show. 170 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,560 Coley is the flexes thighs of that show. Wow. 171 00:22:41,740 --> 00:22:43,000 That's some choice words, man. 172 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,100 She is the tree trunk. She's a root. The root? 173 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:46,240 174 00:22:46,400 --> 00:23:02,040 She's the base. All right. So anyways, if you guys want to leave us a voicemail that doesn't talk shit about me and then ask me to be on the show, the number is 805-538-BEER. That is 2-3-3-7. All right. Not going to forget. No more forgetting. 175 00:23:02,420 --> 00:23:04,660 Let's ask the most important question of the night. 176 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:14,300 In a world where craft beer is king. In a world where muscles are bigger than growlers. 177 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:26,660 Only one tongue can guide us. One man. One tongue. 178 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,460 One tongue jobber. 179 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:51,200 In this world, we must be the ones to decide. Find out. What is flex drinking? 180 00:23:53,520 --> 00:24:08,940 That is so good. Thank you for playing that one. So I did some research this past week. Believe it or not, the family and I, we took a day trip to Sheboygan. 181 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:26,780 Which if you're in Wisconsin, people joke about Sheboygan being super trashy. It's actually a really nice place. Yeah. Really nice place to go. But we finished off the day and my wife said, hey, is your beer place open? And I said, what? So we traveled up to Three Sheeps Brewing. 182 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:44,760 They're like a buck 20 away from where I live. So we usually go up to Sheboygan every summer, do a day trip, and I've never been able to stop. So really fantastic spot. They actually have their brewing facility aside from their tap room, which I didn't 183 00:24:44,760 --> 00:25:00,960 know because I've never been there. And the tap room is huge. Like could probably fit, I would say 200 people huge. And they have. That's pretty huge. They have like a tent extension off of the tap room and like an outside area. They have a bocce ball court. 184 00:25:01,060 --> 00:25:19,720 Like it's pretty nuts. A huge like beer and gear area. Just fantastic facility. Like probably one of the better ones. Kind of like a warehouse vibe to it. So not new or like, you know, recently renovated or anything, but just really well done. 185 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:35,720 So naturally, I picked up this beer to go because I thought of you, Greg. Oh, it is a juicy pale with galaxy hops. Love juicy pale. Love juicy pales. And you love galaxy hops. I love your hops. 186 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:53,960 This beer is called Nova. The can on the bottom, they have their ABV on the bottom, which is kind of weird when you after you open it, try and look on the bottom. But it's six and a half percent ABV. Untapped has it at a 4.04. So super respectable. Real super simple description. 187 00:25:54,200 --> 00:26:13,860 It is a juicy pale ale brewed with galaxy hops. And I did some research on galaxy hops, right? Trying to dig into this beer. Say, what is this beer? Who does? So on the nose, galaxy hops are known for like, it's a strong passion fruit, peach and 188 00:26:13,860 --> 00:26:35,400 citrus aromas, right? Not too far from many other hops, the tropical citrus, whatever. So this one reeks of passion fruit, like mega passion fruit. And tell you what, I'm the old tongue jobber here. Favorite part. So it is wicked light bodied, like super wicked real. 189 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:55,040 I would say like low to medium bitterness all the way through. But that passion fruit comes through a lot on the tongue jobber, almost like some unripe peach to it's really fantastic. It's almost like a perfect combination of a classic pale and a juicy pale. 190 00:26:55,180 --> 00:26:58,800 Like if they had a love child. Oh, sounds like the perfect summer beer. 191 00:26:58,980 --> 00:27:17,340 Oh, it's so good. Like I got one four pack and I was kind of pissed that I just got one four pack because it is and like to the color of this thing, it's a bit hazy, you know? It's a bit hazy. Deceivingly crisp, I guess, with the 6.6 and the appearance of it. 192 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:22,760 It leaves a little bit of lacing, but it doesn't last. I'll take whatever lacing I can get. 193 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,900 Yeah, no, I'm jealous. It sounds delicious. 194 00:27:24,900 --> 00:27:41,180 Yeah, it was a it was a really great trip. I also had like a West Coast. They had like a dry hopped West Coast lager collab they did with another brewery here, Youngblood, and that was fan fucking tastic. And I also had they always do slushy beers throughout the summer, but they're only on 195 00:27:41,180 --> 00:27:59,480 tap. And I was finally able to try one of those being up there. It was a strawberry watermelon. It tasted like fresh strawberry, strawberry and watermelon juice in a beer. And I was burping up like watermelon the rest of the day. And it was it actually it was just like tasting like watermelon. 196 00:28:00,100 --> 00:28:17,600 Nice. It was amazing. So these guys, great job. Sheboygan, Wisconsin. One of the guys who worked at the brewery went on in like TV or something like that. Went on the television? Yeah, he did like the Supernatural show. So if anybody watches Supernatural, they have like three sheep's neon lights. 197 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:23,980 Oh. In like scenes. And it's like an ode to them. So real kind of neat story. 198 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:37,040 Well, then Supernatural thing made me think of a show. Is Supernatural a real show like where they try to like catch spirits and all that stuff? I don't know. I never watched it. OK, because I had a crazy story. 199 00:28:37,060 --> 00:28:38,400 I know some people who watch it. 200 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:54,780 You know some people because some people that did one of those freaky deaky shows that tried to like live catch spirits murdered one of my neighbors. What? Yeah, so my neighbor's son who used to live with her on and off, she's an older woman. 201 00:28:54,900 --> 00:29:13,480 Her son was like in his 50s. He was kind of a drifter. He was just trying to figure his life out. He went to Vegas and he had a friend, like literally just a friend, a woman that was his friend that he went to live with so they could like co-pay the rent. And the woman was part of one of those like filming the Supernatural shows, like trying 202 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:29,800 to catch spirits. I don't know. I could probably Google it, the name of it. And the ex-husband, they were like a strange because apparently he was like an abusive crazy dude, thought that they were together. He came in and like murdered him. Was he a ghost? Could have been. That's what he claimed. It's still in court. 203 00:29:29,900 --> 00:29:34,160 They're trying to figure it out. No, honestly, I don't know what happened from there. But I'm like, dude, I don't know. 204 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:41,920 This was like Supernatural. I don't know. It was just like a show on TNT. It went like 50 seasons or something. Well, I don't know. I don't know if that was a show or not. 205 00:29:42,100 --> 00:29:48,000 It just sounded like it. You guys want to hear a story? My neighbor got killed by someone who did one of those shows. I don't know. 206 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:55,100 All right, let's do a little news flight. Get the paddles. 207 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,480 And you're dead. Pretty much. 208 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:28,160 Skagit Valley Malting produces malt for breweries, shuts down files for bankruptcy, stops production midday a couple of weeks ago on a Thursday. Just called everybody in like, hey, we're done. Stop sending shit out. So if you're a brewery that's expecting some malt from Skagit Valley Malting, good luck. 209 00:30:28,700 --> 00:30:44,260 In another craft buying craft story, Optimism Brewing announces their planned sale to Stoup Brewing. They will acquire them and take all their locations. Cape May, we talked about this a couple of weeks ago. 210 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:51,940 Cape May was going to purchase Flying Fish. Flying Fish, I think, was the oldest brewery in like Maryland or some shit that people don't care about. Flying Dog? 211 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,240 That's somebody who was getting Flying Dog. 212 00:30:54,620 --> 00:31:09,660 Yeah, that was a New York place. So many breweries buying breweries. Oh, I can't remember all this. But anyways, they've called off the acquisition of Flying Fish, not Dog. If you're in the Tampa area, one, you're probably on meth. 213 00:31:09,820 --> 00:31:22,780 Two, there's a brand new yingling draft house and kitchen that just opened up. So enjoy some yingling down there. Oh my gosh, I've never had yingling. 214 00:31:23,060 --> 00:31:27,120 You guys talk about yingling all the time and I've literally never had it. 215 00:31:27,140 --> 00:31:36,500 So they get meth gators and grenades there? And bath salts. Don't forget bath salts. Oh, bath salts. How could I forget? Yeah, it's always good stuff. People eating people. 216 00:31:36,900 --> 00:31:52,200 Yes. And Miller Highlife has partnered with Planters Brown Brand. Wow, brown. Planters Brand Nuts. Brown Nuts. Yeah, Brown Nuts. That's a different day. 217 00:31:52,600 --> 00:32:09,440 They're doing a giveaway and a whole camping trailer experience. So like camping? No, they've turned like an Airstream into a bar and like you can like win it for four hours, which I'm like, you're going to put anything besides high life in there? 218 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:15,760 Or is that all we get? But what do you like? Just four hours? Ah, four or five. It's not a full day, whatever it was. 219 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:22,460 Why do you want to win it? You got me there. You gotta have something better than that. 220 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,480 Yeah, I would think so. 221 00:32:24,780 --> 00:32:33,500 I don't know. Give me a camper full of high life. I don't know. Right? I could do a little damage with that. Yeah, some in-betweener beers. Yeah. Everybody needs them. 222 00:32:34,060 --> 00:32:53,880 Yeah, exactly. And then if you're into hockey, the Golden Knights won some large cup or something. The Goblet. The Goblet. Yeah. Mr. Stans Goblet. I hope I'm pissing off so many people right now. 223 00:32:53,880 --> 00:33:07,540 Oh my gosh, if it's not wrestling. The Duke of Stans Kravos. Yeah. His pimp chalice. That was the word chalice. Yeah, not quite Kravos. That's on his rear. Pimp Stans, pimp chalice. 224 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:09,240 It ain't easy. 225 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:27,060 Anyways, the Knights won. And I guess there's a player on the team called William Carlson. And he decided to grab the mic after their parade. Did he Travis Kelsey it? He may have been in that high life planters bar trailer thing. 226 00:33:28,220 --> 00:33:43,380 He was hammered here. But only for four hours. Right. I mean, in four hours, I get pretty hammered. Don't eat anything for 12 hours and have a bunch of double APAs. So anyways, here is that speech from the... Oh, and at one point he gets quiet. 227 00:33:43,580 --> 00:33:46,500 It's because the PR person's trying to take the microphone away from him. 228 00:33:47,000 --> 00:34:02,200 Okay. You guys can hear me? Yeah, you hear me? So this guy. This effing guy. Yeah, I know. I know. 229 00:34:03,380 --> 00:34:19,500 So he was here day one. Yeah. And I know you have been here day fucking one. 230 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:40,620 You guys are so amazing. We played Arizona in the first game. And we beat the shit out of them. And I had no points. 231 00:34:43,340 --> 00:34:59,900 But that's okay. Because at year one, I was pretty fucking great. But you guys were greater. 232 00:35:01,780 --> 00:35:06,700 And we've been... 233 00:35:06,700 --> 00:35:09,780 This is where they're taking the microphone away. 234 00:35:13,740 --> 00:35:35,120 Pass it to Marci. Marci, you got something to say? No, no, no, no. Listen to me. We've been waiting for six long years for this guy to be MVP. 235 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:43,480 Jonathan Arsheson. 236 00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:49,140 That was rough. Yeah. Holy smokes, that was rough. 237 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:57,280 Yeah. If you get bored, look at the video. There's the PR girl who walks onto stage and is like, okay, trying to take the mic. And he's like, I'm good. 238 00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,420 Anyways, fucking... 239 00:35:59,420 --> 00:36:02,140 My money is on that he is Canadian. 240 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:18,100 But at least he's nice then. Well, presumably. Yeah. So anyways, that's that. I'm gonna end it on this one real quick. I'm just gonna run through this. I figured 4th of July is just around the corner here. 241 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:34,140 So here are 10 things you didn't know about the 4th of July. The Declaration of Independence was not signed on July 4th or in July at all. It was in August. Oh, lame. Yeah. The 4th of July celebrations weren't much different from today's. 242 00:36:34,140 --> 00:36:52,340 A lot of fireworks and whatnot. Eating salmon on the 4th of July is a tradition in New England. Massachusetts was the first state to recognize the 4th of July. The oldest annual 4th of July celebration is held in Bristol, Rhode Island. The shortest 4th of July parade is in Aptos, California. 243 00:36:52,660 --> 00:36:59,400 Is there a time limit on that one? I don't know, but I think it's a distance thing. It's 0.6 miles. Yeah. Ask me where Aptos is. I don't know. 244 00:36:59,700 --> 00:37:00,180 Beachtown. 245 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:18,600 There are around 15,000 Independence Day fireworks celebrations every year. Americans eat an obscene number of hot dogs on 4th of July, like 150 million. Wow. Americans also spend billions on food to celebrate, around $7.7 billion on food on the 4th of July. 246 00:37:19,100 --> 00:37:30,880 And three presidents have died and one was born on the 4th of July. Does anybody know? Yeah, Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise, huh? I mean, you're right with the Tom part. He was in the movie. 247 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:31,620 Yeah. 248 00:37:31,700 --> 00:37:48,260 Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on the 4th of July, and so did James Monroe and Calvin Coolidge was born on the 4th of July. How cool. There you go. How Coolidge was that? And we spend over a billion dollars on beer. 249 00:37:48,700 --> 00:37:50,240 That's, yeah, everybody knows that. 250 00:37:50,460 --> 00:37:57,340 Yeah, I know I do. So, oh, I forgot to mention, topless in city of this week, Moorpark. So, hi, Moorpark. 251 00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,600 It's better than Less Park. That's what I hear. 252 00:38:00,380 --> 00:38:15,440 Dad jokes. Dad jokes are the best. Let's go. Anyways. All right. I think Erica's computer has completely taken a shit. She just texted me that she fully fell off. That's going to be fun for editing. 253 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:31,520 All right. I'm gonna hit some music. Thank you all for listening. Thanks for joining at craft beer republic at flex me a beer underscores in between and at neck now neck nosh LLC underscores after each one.
