Get on our 40,
almost 40 year old level,
because it's legit.
The day drinking is so much better than the night drinking.
Welcome in everybody.
It's the Craft Beer Republic.
Thanks for drinking.
Thanks for joining.
I am Greg.
And her name couldn't say it any better.
We are still Flexless.
That's Beer Girl Mel.
What's happening?
Just missing the Wizco Kid a little bit.
So we're still Flexless.
Starting to worry that maybe he's like dead or he's got that thing that Chu had last week.
Did he eat too much raw meat or the meat sticks finally caught him?
Like what's happening here?
I told him he's gotta stop snacking out of the fridge.
Thank you.
He's gotta stop snacking out of the fridge at work.
He's going to cook that shit first.
I don't know.
He doesn't listen.
Seriously,
buddy.
Yeah.
You know how Flex is.
He loves putting raw meat in his mouth.
But anyways,
thank you guys for joining.
Follow us on the socials @CraftBeerRepublic.
And of course,
@BeerGirl_Mel.
You're in good hands with Mel here,
stepping in for Flex.
Not quite as buff,
but can run at least three times as far.
Yep.
That's me.
Yeah,
exactly.
So,
you know,
if you're ever in a situation where you need someone to run really far.
Super funny.
Call Mel.
All right.
Anyways,
thank you all for drinking and joining.
Like I said,
this is off to a great start.
The crickets in the background speak volumes.
I'll stop talking in just a second,
I promise.
A lot to get to tonight.
We've got the fallout from Pliny the Younger's release.
We've got some booze over in the UK.
The homie Cheer Beer left another voicemail for us.
And we've even got some beer science to get to later on the show.
So let's stop wasting time.
Let's start things off and find out what Mel is drinking.
Yes,
sir.
you know how I always do.
I always do love to represent local breweries,
and I tend to hop around from brewery to brewery.
And today we are heading to Warwick,
New York,
for a little Drownlands.
I've got Green Yield.
It's a hazy IPA,
7.2 percent.
We actually don't have to pay for it.
It's free.
We don't have to pay for it.
It's free.
We don't have to pay for it.
