While I did just get out of the shower.
So I got like the shower hair going on.
I don't know what's going to happen anyway. Uh,
dear, you do do
yap, yap, yap,
yap, yap.
Welcome it, everybody.
It's the craft beer republic.
Thanks for Devon.
And thanks for Devon.
I am Craig.
I am being joined by your mom's favorite flex.
Not Deb.
Not Deb, but it's a flex.
Yeah, and you are my mom's favorite flex.
That's what I hear, actually.
Yeah, it's. It's the true story.
I wish it weren't.
And being joined in-studio by the one
we've been singing about for the last 5 minutes, that is
Dare to sing.
I was just.
Jammed up there.
Bare. Bare.
Now you can find me at Deb's dick school.
Yeah, I know.
You nailed it.
All right.
Nailed it. Building up the suspense. Yeah.
Well done.
It's like a well-manicured movie trailer.
Good job.
We could get her a
What's Deb Dick in, like, movie trailer?
A little thing.
We didn't buy that.
It's going to be Brian every week.
It's not very exciting.
It's like this big build up.
Yeah. One. Deb What? Dick is she Dick?
And every week it's like intern Brian.
You got to, like, buzz.
In, like, on a phone or it's like Brian.
For a while before.
Oh, poor Brian.
Oh, good job, Dick and Deb, right?
Yeah.
And I'm sorry to everyone who's still listening at this point,
but Dick's today.
Yeah. Maybe I'm here. Maybe. Yeah.
Deb of Deb's Dexcom crappy Republican at Craft Beer Republic
at select me beer underscore is in between and of course one hot
mess is where you can find all of us.
I think that's all the plugs.
All right. We've got a lot to get to today.
I've had some lunch beers, so this will go off the rails at some point.
I still think a nice.
Had a beer party to talk about.
This will surprise everybody but the homie chew your beer called in.
Well, you're killing me.
Yeah.
And his voicemail is only 20 seconds
now, giving you, like, 5 minutes.
I was going to say.
What did he make?
Note that it was 20 seconds, too.
You know, because he would have if it was.
No as long as fuck.
And we got some booze news to get through a couple of beers to talk about.
And because I'm
still feeling like a shithead and I don't want to forget Flex's beer.
I do think it's time we answer the all important question.
In a world where craft beer is key,
where muscles are bigger than growlers,
only one time in diners, one man,
one town, one tongue jabber.
In this world, we must find out
what each Dreux drinking.
I tried to screengrab that, and I hit the wrong button.
Well, geez, let's hope that didn't work because I look like a fucking dog and not.
You're lucky.
Lots of tongue. All right, y'all.
So today I am drinking.
What's your MySpace?
This is a collab, collab, collab, collab.
Colon. Colon.
One day we'll figure out what the proper way to say it is,
but it's a collab beer between Youngblood beer company and third space brewing.
Okay, so Youngblood is like right in the heart of Madison.
They're bout like three blocks away from the Capitol building.
And third space is right here in downtown Milwaukee.
This is a hazy IPA.
It is double dry, hopped with Wisconsin grown Cascade
Copper and Mackinac Hops and.
Whiskey Wasco hops, baby Hell. Yeah.
It's growing season.
It comes
in at a little lowball a 6.2 AB which we all know.
My my wheelhouse is about that seven and a half.
There's no description on the can, which is kind of crazy
because they usually always put their description on the can
and it's always very, I don't know, it's just fun to read.
So luckily.
Here. It's on Untapped.
So they say the digital landscape has made dating a little confusing these days.
Does one DM text call or none of the above?
We want to know what all those smooth talkers are saying,
not the creepers of the scrubs.
We're talking about those people with a confidence level,
confidence level of 1 million that are never afraid to shoot their shot.
There are pickup lines and then there are pick up lines.
This one is the ladder for
all the smooth talkers out there we present to you.
What's your MySpace?
It's in India. Pale Ale with.
And actually, they cut off the hops.
But I already told you so.
There is a collective three, seven, six.
So it's not wicked high, but it's it's respectable because.
Deb's here wearing her Boston sweatshirt. Dude.
I have, like, four or five words, and I rotate from there through.
It's like, wicked, wild, bizarre.
And then like, the really drawn out crazy.
But you have to say it with, like, very little emotion.
It's like, so something cool happens.
You're like, Bro, that's crazy.
People just have to understand how crazy this.
Right?
The more A's, the crazier.
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
And like you have to emphasize the like, that's instead of the crazy.
Oh, it's like, bro, that's crazy.
Sure.
You see, with, like, eight A's. Exactly.
Next time you see something really cool happen, just.
She's trying to make sense.
Anyway, going to the beer here.
So it's very excited to see that this had Mackinac Hops in it.
I don't know if either of you have ever had the Mackinac.
I thought you made that up. Yeah, honest.
It sounds like a midwestern made up word.
Well, it might be because it's Wisconsin grown.
Yeah, but I did have a all Mackinac hop beer once,
which again it's super bizarre and it had like a wicked amount
of papaya notes to it, which is rare for me in a beer.
Okay.
So let's see what we got here.
All right.
Taste that, Mackinac.
The nose is very light.
I know.
If I'm picking up like some mild lime lemon, almost dirty, like.
And Star-Spangled Daddy.
Without further ado, who will warm up the tongue job reading that.
And I think it's everyone's favorite part.
Okay, so this is super light.
It's super crisp.
Not a lot of papaya, not much of a lot of anything.
It's very light on the fruit, like flavor notes.
Like all the fruit notes should be coming out.
Still smells great.
Okay. Yeah.
I don't know. I'd say this is just like.
It's like a.
It's I guess it's a it's
a pretty serviceable beer.
Some would maybe call mediocre.
Okay.
Not a drain pour.
Not no, definitely not a drain pour.
This is not good before this is a beer where if I had people over
and somebody was going into my beer fridge, I would say.
Hey, feel free.
Why don't you. Have that one?
Yeah. What's driving this one?
I mean, but I mean, it is they did call it a hazy IPA.
It's not super hazy, but it's super.
You can't see me through it.
Yeah. Very light in color.
I don't know.
Do you love.
Don't you love doing that too.
Like non beer people like because they come over
knowing that you know about beer
but when they come over you also know that they don't know
about beer and like, hey, try this one.
It's like, this is my least favorite beer in the fridge.
And then that happens sometimes.
Their reaction, yeah, what they're going to say
because they want to impress you because they know that you know about.
You're like, Oh, I love other hops.
They've added it.
This you.
Do? I heard them
recently started using more hops the more.
Hops and this.
But I don't get like if I'm drunk and I have friends over
like I am just all about like giving them the good stuff.
I'm like, You have to try this.
You have to try that. But until then,
what's your MySpace?
Nicely done.
You know, one thing I hate about
Hazy IPA is, is when they're not actually hazy.
It's frustrating.
I say at time your beer reminded me this.
I had one of these over the weekend.
I say it time and time again.
If it's if it doesn't turn out hazy like you wanted it
to, just call it a juicy IPA. Yep.
You guys set those expectations.
Well, I'm not going to lie.
This kind of does buy me out today because I really, really,
really enjoy youngblood beer company.
Everything they do, they always do a great job
with everything they put out and all their descriptions on their can.
They will have like the the fruit notes from the hops
that are in there and they will come out to a T out in the can.
So I don't know if third space maybe got a little too much
hold of this collab or what, but that was a joke.
I guess.
They do find stuff too, but it's just, you know, it's all.
Just, you know, mediocre I guess.
Yeah. I want to ask a question though.
That's kind of the opposite of what you just post.
Okay.
What about breweries
that sell their beer
as hazy something, you know, other style?
Yeah.
When it's obvious
it wasn't an intent for it to be hazy, but they're just trying to.
Not do. It right. Yeah.
So I'm not going to name names, but there's a brewery locally
that has a tendency to try to salvage beer that got fucked up.
Oh, by calling it a hazy blank.
Interesting. I don't like that at all.
I mean, look, if it's hazy
and it's juicy, then call it a hazy.
Even if it was the cover up of a fuck up.
But if it doesn't taste like a hazy should taste don't fucking and called.
I mean we all know that people have been
covering up bad beer for years and making an IPA like,
Oh, I brewed this fucking pale or this blond where it tastes like shit.
Let me double a bunch of hops and it's triple dry hop.
It was delicious.
I did this on purpose like people have been doing that for years.
So I'm okay with you trying to salvage some garbage.
As long as it's not garbage anymore.
That makes sense. Sure.
Do you want to come out or.
I'm not going. Okay, I will.
Anyone that wants to know can ask me.
Why that is. The slide into those DMS.
So second post a lot, but she will dm the hell out of you.
Yeah, well
I'll ask you off the air
because I have sold three.
What?
Oh, so last week, speaking of haze, now they don't have that
sorry horrible transition.
Last week I went to keep it up. Yeah,
I'll keep it up.
The Tiki party over an institution.
They had their their tacky tiki party and last year,
I have to say I did not love their tiki beer release.
Whatever is very like extra fruity or too much fruity this year.
No added fruit just came from the hops and it was delicious.
It was like a.
You know, like a bajillion dry, hopped, like golden ale.
It was really interesting.
Yeah, it was really good.
We had to go early because we had some shit to do that day, but,
you know, had some fun with Tiki Party in Good Times at Institution and
and all that good shit.
What I love about, like the quadrupled dry hopped beers
is you get like the next morning it's like heaven like smoking a cigar, right?
We've all had cigars
and you wake up the next morning and you feel like you have that film
and that you have that smoky taste all over your tongue.
And I feel like that's how super dry hopped betas are.
Yeah, like the triple dragon hops and whatnot.
Like boiled.
Yeah.
You wake up the next morning and you're just like,
trying to scrape it off and it just doesn't go anywhere.
And then you brush your teeth and drink some coffee
and you're on your way to work and it's still the only thing you taste.
Those that hand motion you're making is not.
It relies on.
Flex going on a ski trip over there.
You're welcome in.
Excited, but yeah, yeah, yeah.
You don't want the, uh.
You don't want the hot oils coating your tongue
for the next week and a half, that's for sure.
Yeah. Yeah.
What else?
Oh, Prestige.
Worldwide wide.
Oh, dear. Dominated.
We so we've been, we've been trivet e in four of us.
Okay.
In term behind us we are our team name is Prestige worldwide.
We've been going right. Why?
We've been showing up with our boats and hoes and doing trivia.
And last week we had quite the excitement.
We we had a hell of a comeback.
We were in. Tonight.
Or was it just a random night? Just trivia night.
Okay, so I think we were in fourth place.
Yeah, fourth or fifth.
We've sank for a minute.
Yeah, we we got pretty shitty.
And then Deb fucking came back with a vengeance on the music round.
She ringed it for us and we ended up tying for rung it for the second.
Rung it, ringed it, ringed it, rung.
Rung it, hanged.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. Anyways.
Did we battle?
We battled for second, right?
Like for a second. Yeah.
There was a tie for second and we battled and we won.
And yeah, we did go to Sudden. Death. Yeah.
It was funny because like, first place is like I.
Yeah, whatever team.
Wait, wait, wait, wait a second.
So you guys are bragging that you won second place.
What?
We still get money for winning Second place? Yeah.
That's like some Flint, Michigan, Mega Bowl type shit.
But also, it was way more exciting the game first place
because, like, we only missed it by a couple of points
and then it was two teams have tied for second.
There must be a runoff.
And so we did like a whole tiebreaker round and it was very intense and we won.
So there's that.
I mean I Yeah, I guess so.
Be intense but like yeah.
Well at one point we were down.
A second place trivia story though. Yeah.
We started from the bottom. Now we're here
to. Say okay, okay, yeah, okay, we'll let it go.
Okay.
All right.
We'll cut that out because Flex's embarrassed about our second place.
A free beer.
No, you're. Right.
You seem to realize that we beat.
What's that other team called? The.
The brown chicken. Brown chicken. Brown cow.
Yeah. Oh, okay.
No, I like it. It's cute.
Oh, it's cute Name? It's like the the thing.
It's the the the thing of the thing.
Like you go out. Wow. Right. That's.
Yeah, yeah.
They got like, shirts matching team shirts and jackets.
It's a whole that's like. There's a couple of t.
Weights, shirts and. Jackets.
Shirts aren't not even an exaggeration.
Shirts and then jackets. Yeah.
There's a few teams that have like you.
Like the Purple Cobras. Yeah.
Exactly the same way they get.
The purple monkeys every time.
But in Temple.
Come on. Legends of the Hidden Temple.
Average Joes. Yeah. So.
But yeah good times and and today being we're recording
on Memorial Day it's a holiday The wife and I went and had some.
Is it the Blue Barracudas? Is that what it was.
I think that was one of them. Yeah. The silver snakes.
Blueberry purple monkeys.
Purple monkeys.
The red packers. The red one. Monkeys.
Nose, Purple monkeys.
I think. Purple monkey dishwasher.
Should've been the maroon monkeys for people with the alliteration.
Alliteration.
So the wife and I pulled a flex and had some lunch Beers went for happy hour.
Ellia do to tell you how.
Happy I was So great on a weekday, Because I guess it's like, the best.
Yeah, it's so good.
And a couple of liquid candies from held before we started the show.
So use my hydrated this.
There it is.
Actually juice.
Do you want the large one pope Shit.
That was like, abso fucking lutely.
So we did that.
There's two sides and it's just, you know default for the big says, right?
Don't even ask.
Yeah, don't be silly.
Nobody wants the small beer. Come on, lady.
So, anyways, uh, what about you guys?
Any, any good beer? Research, flexible.
Well, actually, it's funny, you.
Know, drinking.
I actually didn't.
I had myself a really good Memorial Day today that was two days ago.
Yes. As you know.
As the this confuses me and the listeners.
But it's really true.
Really confuses you.
Yeah, I know, Port. You.
So you know how like when we were kids, we would just go hang out with friends,
like we would get there.
Well, and so nowadays it's all about like, do play dates, right?
You know, our parents are always busy, so the kids have to figure out a date
to play. And it's just it's whatever.
So my youngest, she's six, had a play date with one of her friends from school
and they were like, Hey, we had a pool.
Just come drop her off or we'll pick her up either way.
And like.
Fine, don't call your bag.
Come back whenever you want to come back.
And my wife was just kind of like, Well, what does it mean?
Like.
You know, do is but.
There's like, no timeframe.
She lives at one hour.
Is it two? Is it whatever?
So anyway, we let her, like, hang out with her friend for like two ish hours and
like, all right, well, they got the pool and when my wife dropped the kid,
my daughter off, I have an eight year old and the mom was like,
oh, you know, is she going to stay and swim?
And my wife didn't think that, you know, she was like, Oh, it's a play date for
this kid, right?
So so like, don't infringe on the date.
Exactly.
So she's like, Oh, no, we're going to go do something together for a while.
So then when we picked the kid up
or went to go to the house to pick our other kid up, my wife is like,
Oh, well, we'll just stay in, swim for a little bit
so the oldest could swim and hang out, friends, whatever.
And we get there and you know, immediately the people are just like,
Oh, do you need anything? Do you want something to drink?
Do you want something to eat? Like really nice people?
And I just got over being sick.
Classic, like being sick.
And they're like, Hey. Probably have COVID again.
Do you want a beer?
I really should. Shouldn't.
Right.
Did you pull this now? Move. I don't know what you got.
I didn't. Right.
So they pull out this craft beer
out of this outdoor cooler.
Ladies like you sure you don't want a beer?
And I look at it, I'm like,
And she just hand it to me.
She's like, Have a beer.
And it was pontoon brewing out of Georgia.
Okay? And I never heard of them.
I've never heard of them either.
The beer was called Real legend like fishing reel.
Really cute canard.
It was like a beaver or something in a canoe.
And he was fishing. It was.
I was adorable.
It was almost like a great notion, Canter, to tell you the truth.
Like, it was not good.
It was American IPA and had Centennial
and something and I cry in it and it was really fucking good.
And I don't. Know what you're drinking now.
Well, you know, I wouldn't say way, but it was pretty good.
That's great.
So anyway, you know,
I on tapped it and it was like a391, which is mega respectable.
And then I started, I clicked the find it button on Tapped.
Right.
See if any of the certified on tap people have it
The nearest one was like 57 miles away.
Like.
What are these people doing buying beer?
And maybe there's one closer, I don't know.
But what are they doing?
Buy beer 57 miles away.
Or maybe they were on a trip. Or a trip?
Yeah, I don't know.
But I was lucky enough to snag one. It was. Great.
That's sweet.
That's always. Nice.
And then I finished that one, and then the guy pulled more beer out and,
you know, he got out of the pool and he came sat down with all the other adults
and he was like, Hey, you want another beer?
And he put one in front of me.
And I'm just like, What are you supposed to do?
You know? Again, can't say no at that point.
Yeah, this is embarrassing.
What kind of sounds like he saunters out of the pool
and he's liquor in you up and, you know, what's.
What's his motive?
Well, Deb, all around the board,
I don't say no.
Noted,
but it just made me think like, hey,
these people, first of all, they were normal people.
The parents were super normal.
They weren't like uppity.
They weren't, you know, pretentious or anything like that.
Just regular fucking people who were regular parents,
like going through the same shit that regular parents go through.
Yeah.
And I was like, Wow, that plus craft beer.
We can fucking hang out these people anytime we want.
I picture him like slowly getting out of the pool
and walking up to Flex and Flex says to him, So do you.
Come to Milwaukee often?
I wasn't that nervous.
I really wasn't.
We're not.
We're the Look, they they do only live like three streets down from us.
Something like, Oh, so it's like a good fridge.
It's like a two minute drive, like a six minute walk.
So, yeah, it's shaping up to be a pretty good summer.
Nice. Found some new drunk buddies.
I want to do it.
I wish I had parent friends whose kids were going through the same
stuff like mine are and
like my kids are way older than everybody else's that I know out here.
I feel like that makes it really hard.
Is the age thing.
Yeah, because like, who am I going to talk to you about?
Like, you know, did your kid have sex with Toby to.
Like, I hope not.
My kid's seven.
Tell you what, I've never letting my kids have sex with anybody named Toby.
I support. Toby.
I tried Really hard, but I guess the heart wants with the heart.
But not as hard as Toby, right? Yeah.
For real.
Two Toby.
One Toby.
Over that Moby.
And that's a big no.
And Tony.
Sorry. That's how I Met your mother reference Oh.
Like what?
Tony Well, hats off to Toby.
Yeah, Yeah.
Good job.
Yeah.
And he lives in Georgia now, so maybe he can, you know, get us some of that, too.
Yeah, I.
Got. I hope my daughter doesn't hear this in the car with Brian.
She literally.
Brian will pick the kids up from school and have the show on in the car.
Oh, geez. More drivers than smoker cough.
Oh, well, I would do.
Let go Brian warning right now but it's.
Fast the last really.
Hey Brian if you've gotten to this point with kid in car.
We are sorry real.
Awkward.
Real awkward I love you Allison Sorry.
That is a red face right now.
I'm an intern.
Brian.
Oh, that'd be so great.
It's almost as red as
this face would have been when he sent me four beers instead of six.
Like you said. He would like to.
Did he ever tell you why?
I think somebody told me.
I was just like.
It was because he, like, went and picked, like, the fancy.
It was a quality thing, right? It was. Yeah.
He was like, I could send flex the shitty six pack.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Or I could get him like this. Really nice.
You know, he's two beers, I think.
He played and they were great beers. They were really good beers.
You have a drink? I mean, I'd have you.
I actually almost drink them immediately.
Oh, okay. Flexes.
And I do the same thing
a lot of times known for we we sitting on beer on pedestals.
Yeah.
It's like, oh, I got to get like, the best picture
I can, so I'm not going to drink it in, like, six months later.
Like, I haven't had inspiration for a picture.
I still can't drink it.
It's not even inspiration.
It's just being completely fucking lazy.
That too.
Yeah. I've been really bad at like taking beer pictures recently.
A guy like nothing on the Gram right now.
It's the problem.
Sorry.
All my followers were just dying, waiting for.
Your loyal fans. Pictures of shit I was drinking.
And the occasion I want to see.
What you drink when it's not a monday.
Okay. Well, we found the one, right?
That's good. Yeah.
Let's go.
Give me some content.
I'm going to give you Some can cut.
Away on and say, Oh.
Liquid candy.
Before Deb and I could talk about what we're drinking over here.
Here is the voicemail from the homie, Chew your beer.
Hello.
No one is available to take your call.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Hey, so craft beer Republic.
Fantastic episode came out and I just want to apologize to anybody.
They got butthurt for my words.
I just listen to the song like three times and that's what we're ashamed of.
The stuff that I said.
You. Know?
And sometimes I felt like it shouldn't matter, right?
I was very,
very well hydrated, clearly, to be to Highland Park
and a shot of bourbon before I left because I was feeling so much anxiety
about, you know, being on the on the pod and then on the mic in front of people.
I'm good around people.
I'm very vocal.
I'm a very, you know,
excited and full of energy, just hanging out and drinking and.
Talking. And.
And what have you with even with strangers.
But I think this, to me, threw me for a loop.
I had like three struggles before we even started.
And little did I know that because I was hydrate at a higher level when I.
But yeah, hey, I had a blast Mama Chew or possibly Queen.
She had four.
I think she said four or five.
Fantastic calls because she fell in love with my brother.
The same thing.
His, his girl had to drive him back because he basically
passed out in the car on the way home from Mama too.
We had a two wheeler out to the vehicle.
That was funny.
Yeah. Thank you for coming out, everybody.
I stickers paid priority mail and they showed up the following day.
Hopefully my next event
that I do have, I'll have stickers for you all have stickers on me.
If you see me out there in the wild at a brewery, come say. Hi.
And you know, give me a high five and a hoagie with the sticker.
Homie could do like a good high five.
Monica, let's make this happen.
Chris promised to behave.
I promise not to hydrate.
I'm. I already got my feet wet with Greg on this.
And let's make this.
I don't believe him for a second.
Thank you, Greg. Again, homie.
This friendship has flourished to not just
calling them voicemails, but being able to text you and bug you.
Just kidding.
Thanks again, homie.
Appreciate that you've been out there. It was awesome.
You know, you you made it a little extra awesome for me for doing what you did.
Coley and Nick, thank you for pulling up love, Brook.
But I'm really, really in love with Ruby.
Amazing, amazing doggies to my kids friends, the wifey, her friends.
This is a Grammy acceptance speech.
My mom, my brother, my sister, my coworkers.
That were there, my coworker that pulled up.
I guess a bunch of people pulled up after we left because
I think my manager for but a lot of them had a word.
Thank you all for pulling up.
Just a quick little no affront that's going when eight
I think they're down to half a cake left It probably be blown by then.
If you do see me out there in the wild, come see.
I can say what's up.
Tell me.
You listen to the crew and blog jokes.
Give me a high five.
I have stickers on me that wasn't able to take them to the
to the event, but I will carry a couple with me to give out
to two people that recognize and that's say, homies.
Right. Thank you again, everybody.
Thank you for the support. Apologies out there.
If you think I stepped out of line because I kind of feel like I did it
a couple of times.
And that is true.
You beer and the week has been full and dusty.
Go home. I thought you piss today.
I don't know what he did to step out of line
unless he's talking about all the cussing needed at the end.
It was funny before we started the show, he's like,
Yeah, I'm not going to cuss because, you know, like there's kids.
There's like one kid, the kid's here and shit.
And I was like, Yeah, all right, I'm going to just do whatever you want.
And then, like, by the end, the show's like, Fuck this, fuck that,
you got fucking shirt. I mean, hydrated.
I can't help, but.
But I swear, I just can't do it.
I don't do it every like other word, but it just comes out so natural.
Yeah.
He towards the end he got pretty every other word.
He let a lot of fucks drop but whatever.
In his voice. No.
There I was waiting for the part like in a
the award speech, like with the hip hop guys
and it's like and through our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ, all things are possible.
He did not think. God first and foremost.
No, I was waiting for.
Here it comes. Here it comes. Yeah.
And when at what point are we going to rip the award away from Taylor Swift?
When does that happen?
Oh, that's right.
Because Beyonce.
I was like, who was the Beyonce that.
Just arrives with the old Pablo Francisco stand up?
When he went, he was doing the impression of the rap guy who gets a Grammy.
And he said, first of all, I just want to thank Jesus Christ,
my savior, bro, my number one single called Suck Your Mama
Perfect Juice.
It makes so much sense.
It's no mama.
Sounds like you should get a tattoo.
They just just like, suck your momma. Suck your.
Momma. Yeah.
I'm not going to do that.
We'll talk the air.
We'll call it a business expense.
Crappy republic paid for and funded by crappy republic.
Yeah, exactly. The right off the right off.
All right. A five, five, three beer.
Two, three, three, seven number.
If you want to call, leave us a voicemail.
All right, Before we get to news, Deb and I are drinking a beer over here as well.
Can't wait.
Yeah,
So he calls to the bullpen for beer.
We are drinking park.
What the fuck is happening?
What's the talking about?
We're making love to the camera.
Talking about your ear. I want to hear about the beer.
Oh, my God. Working on it.
All right.
I think I screenshot that. I did screenshot that. Fantastic.
I won't have to post it on the grams. All right.
We were drinking Pak. IPA.
With Travis camera from Smug City Brewing Company.
This is in collaboration with California Parks Department.
This should see a.
Video by guest apparently.
I know I'm horny.
They say
6.6% as a372 on a tab
say for the revamp of Park Hopper IPA.
We wanted to do something a little different.
We were curious how these big tropical hops would work in a cold IPA
fermented with our lager yeast.
Is that a. Foot?
Oh my God, no me.
Draw the.
Line if you.
Notice.
Goodnight, everyone. Just get through.
This, please. Jesus. I'm working.
I, in fact, are going to cover your camera,
fermented with our lager yeast train.
And we think the results are stellar, delicate aromas of citrus, pine, jackfruit
and light tropical notes dominate with a smooth bitterness
and hot flavor that brings you right back in for another sip.
Have you ever had jackfruit before?
I don't think so.
Yeah.
Fucking weird, man. Is it?
Yeah.
We got the one that smells bad. Is it?
No, that's durian. Durian? Yes.
They kind of look similar.
I think papaya smells bad too, but that's just me. But.
So jackfruit is crazy.
Let me, before you talk about your beer, you can smell it and taste it.
Yeah, I'll do that.
Jackfruit can grow anywheres from like £3 to like £175.
Like they can get fucking.
He's like a fucking pumpkin.
Yeah.
Because they can be used
as like a protein, like a pork substitute or something like that.
Okay.
So I got to eat it at work once.
I was like, What the fuck is this? I got to try it.
So he cut it open and it's like a little bit like a a drier
pineapple, almost like it's not like, super juicy,
but it is sticky as fuck.
Like almost like it leaks
Elmer's glue and it gets all over your hands.
And they're like little pod, little things, Right?
Well, and that's kind of why it reminds me like a pineapple.
Because like, when you skin a pineapple and like that, those outer edges,
that's kind of what it reminded me of.
But it is just so bizarre.
And I couldn't believe how sticky it was.
And I just had to share that with everybody.
Was did it taste good, though?
It tasted like it was fine. It wasn't good.
It wasn't bad. It was you're not going to seek it out.
Yeah, it was pretty like regular, but
just well, the texture and like I said, like the juice.
It was just so crazy.
That's.
I'm sorry.
That's
crazy.
Well, part of that description, I think, fits this beer.
Okay.
I don't know if I'd stick it out, but
this is beer 372 feels a little friendly.
So it's not the worst beer I've ever had.
No, not it's not a drain ball.
It's not a drain.
Pour it all, but it to me, it lacks
depth or substance outside of just being hoppy.
That's the only thing I can say.
Do you think it's because it's a cold IPA?
I didn't realize that at first.
It was a cold IPA, but I've had good cold.
IPA is the name.
But yeah, I agree.
Again, it's not bad. It's just not.
Funny. Good.
Well what does it smell like?
I think off off air.
I said it smells like what, Marty's water bottle.
Yeah. And I. I concur.
I always thought it was brewed with like a like a Brett yeast or something.
It's got something.
There's like a funky.
Yeah. A very light funkiness to it.
I don't know if it's that this can there's something weird with the can.
Could be this is how they intended us to be drinking it but.
I wonder if because it's a cool IPA so it's a lager basically
if they like they didn't lager long enough and not enough dropped out.
And it got weird.
Little stuff in there.
I don't know.
It's fine. It's not gross.
It's wood. Clear. Another one. Is it free?
That's yeah.
If it was free, yes, I would drink.
I would drink many more of them and I wouldn't complain.
But if I was paying for, I would probably be pretty disappointed.
Yeah.
The question I always used to ask Scott
because he would drink anything was would you pay for it?
Would you buy one of these? And I would not go buy another one of these.
I liked the can.
But the can.
Cute as hell.
Yeah, but that. Was the beer about.
I bought it because of the name. Yeah.
The white mice for me though.
Yeah.
GJ 3269.
But we could relate to that so much at our age.
Yeah. What were your MySpace names?
I don't remember.
I thought it was just like your name.
Wasn't it just your name? No.
You had, like, whatever name you wanted to be.
Mine was Big Dick MC Fuck Zloty.
No, no, it wasn't really?
No. Oh.
But I would always joke and say I was going to you.
That's amazing. It's very believable too.
And the fact that you can say that without stumbling.
I'm pretty sure. Five.
Is just my name.
Like my first and last name.
I think mine was like my first last name, plus like some numbers or some shit.
Oh, very boring.
Mine was utterly deb like with DS, like a cow, because I was,
I was breastfeeding two kids back to back and I thought it was funny. I
utterly.
Deb, did you have like a song on your MySpace page?
Yeah, I had Carmen Miranda's mama.
Your Quero Okay, Flex.
I think I would rotate out between some census fail and Silverstein songs.
I think the last I don't remember all the songs I had.
I'm sure there is like some Foo Fighters on it,
but I think the last one I had was Sugar. We're going down.
Mm hmm. I think those are the last song I had.
I guess I also had techno tracks Pump up the Jam.
Very nineties.
Very. Deb Yeah.
So. Oh, the good old days.
Here's here's a nerd story.
I used to work for a web hosting. Well,
like they hosted or they had servers, like they rented out server space.
And one time this is in the height of MySpace.
My buddy goes, Who was working?
And he goes, Hey, you know, like we host MySpace.
Whereas like, yeah, he goes, Let's find out what server we're on right now.
So it goes, Go to your MySpace.
And like, we did this thing, like we pinged the MySpace,
pulled up the IP address and was like, Oh, it's on that computer right there.
It was so weird.
You're like, There is your MySpace on this computer right here.
Like, okay, that's not creepy at all.
So nerd stories.
That could be a pick up line where you can tell like somebody his age or like, Hey,
if you were on MySpace, you'd be in my top eight.
And either they would laugh really hard or they would be like, What are you guys?
Yeah, copy.
What?
We should bring back MySpace, you guys.
Yeah, that seems like a great. Let's bring it back.
I still have mine.
Nothing like nothing like posting a 100 question survey
on a bulletin board that you.
What color shirt are you wearing?
What is the thing you hate?
MySpace was just chain mail on its messaging board.
Literally all it was.
And if you don't pass
this on, you have bad luck for seven years.
Anyway, you can find me at MySpace.com backslash, Deb's dicks.
Dubs dicks MySpace.
I love. It.
Hold on. Does MySpace still exist, though?
I don't actually know. I know. I'm going to look at it.
Know this system for a while is like just a band thing.
Like people would post their music there.
Let's see.
MySpace. Oh. Oh.
It seems very music oriented.
Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nine Inch Nails, Slipknot.
But nothing's loading like I only got one picture to load.
Those were all the bands I was listening to back when I was using MySpace.
Right?
Anyways, all right, so that's no go.
Hey, beer stuff.
This is hopefully interesting news.
The original owners. I'm interested. In.
Oh, hey, that's
interest again.
The original owners of Funky Buena Brewing
are going to reacquire the brewery.
Constellation is getting out of the craft beer business.
So we all know they took a huge hit on.
Bally's. Public squabbling with the folks in the place.
Come on. Scoping everybody else point.
And so now they're just getting out of it altogether.
So Four Corners and funky brew Buda are getting there.
They're
selling it back to the original founders and now going be crafty again, apparently.
Does it count?
It's a fun name.
Is it is it craft?
If they sold out and then unsold, that.
Or I mean bought back.
From like the bar definition like yeah because it's less
than 25% owned by a larger corporation.
But what about the unwritten rules of beer.
Yeah I don't know
because like balance point is technically craft again, that happened,
you know, they sold out and then unsold out.
Does that make you excited to drink them?
No, because they're still overpriced and tastes like 1999
Pop. True.
Prince would be psyched. Yeah.
And we're gonna drink it like it's nice.
Yeah. Yeah,
yeah.
No, I was not any more excited when they like scope and still taste
the same though.
Strips the enamel off your teeth and not in a fun way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I wasn't excited.
I haven't had a fucking sculpting or any ballast point bajillion years.
I haven't seen it in a bajillion years in my part.
Yeah.
I mean they, they totally pulled it out of their distribution
and even before they unsold out, they were losing money left and right.
They pulled a bunch of distribution and.
Yeah, so.
But anyways, Funky Buddha, they were, you know, we'll see what happens.
They were respected and people liked all their, their sour programs and stuff.
So we'll see how that goes.
If anybody lives around there, let us know what you think.
Are you, like, excited for it?
Because I was not excited
for Ballast Point being unsold and quite frankly didn't give a shit.
Appalachian Mountain Brewery similar story.
The founders of Appalachian Mount Brewery
have bought back their company from Anheuser-Busch, AB InBev.
We're Constellation is just getting out of the business.
They actually bought it back from AB InBev and are looking to reinvest
in the company and B craft again. Huh?
Yeah. Well, my thoughts exactly. Go.
Matt that is a brewing company effects Matt to acquire.
A name.
That's there and it's a weird fucking name.
Sounds like someone's horrible like Instagram handle.
Hey, find me at f Matt.
Like M80 or M80.
Double T like the guy's name.
The guy's name. Yeah.
F x letter. F letter.
That might be the. Worst boring name I've. Ever heard.
Yeah, that's pretty bad to acquire.
Flying dog or flying dog. Okay.
I'm moving on.
This All should have been a her news flight.
Apparently.
Mediocre story week, right?
Mediocre beer, mediocre stories.
You know when there's a holiday, the news stories really take it well.
No, because what's going to happen is next week
you'll start hearing the good stories.
Lot of great drugstore dead drunk stories from the holiday.
But until then, it's all like these really depressing stories, like.
Flying Dog is just like one of those.
Like, uh. It's been around forever. Well, yeah.
Of the age old, like, craft breweries, right?
You know, So
it's like they're the same ones that do the traditional styles or whatever
they've always done, and they never got into trends or experimented.
And so that's why they're just kind of like, Yeah, they're good Mexican lager.
Okay, When I think of them, I think of like super bitter West Coast IPA is
and it's like a stone type of thing.
Okay, See, I would always grab their pale ales.
Like I said, their Mexican lager is pretty solid, but yeah, cool logo.
We don't get a ton of them out here. But yeah.
I think Midwestern like are they Indiana?
Nothing. They're a Connecticut.
Oh really.
We are. Really. Are New Hampshire.
Now. Ohio now we're just naming state.
Maryland.
I totally I was going to say that Leahy more states now.
This is the Animaniacs.
So you know what else?
Floor okay.
Florida woman drives onto the beach, narrowly misses multiple families.
Is this the day?
Oh, yes. Oh, Jesus.
A Florida woman was arrested for allegedly driving drunk and nearly
running over families on a beach at Smyrna Dunes Park on Saturday.
Police body camera footage showed Sarah OUF Ramsey, Miami,
26, of Orlando, standing on the beach alongside a half submerged blue SUV.
I was the driver and they kind of stopped us
and they said that we almost had a child, she told cops.
I didn't think that we did, but that's like what they told us.
She blew. Up.
This is a direct quote.
This is what the news story. Holy shit.
People are down here because you can't drive.
People are down here because you can't drive on this part of the beach.
Officers told
us. And another an indentified woman.
We were just trying to turn around.
We didn't think we do a U-turn around here,
so we were just trying to keep going, she replied.
A sheriff's
deputy told her that she was going to jail for driving under the influence.
She quickly said okay and nodded her head. Wow.
Yeah.
She turned around upstairs, handcuffed her charges against
the woman were not immediately available as of Sunday night.
Is there an age on this broad 26?
Is there an IQ.
On this 26?
It's it's the same as her blood alcohol content.
2.24.
20. Six is across the board.
26 is all around.
Yeah.
Not the smartest.
All right.
I did not know this. Apparently.
You know, like some states have weird fucked up sun buying alcohol rules.
Yeah, the worst.
Apparently in some states you can't buy alcohol on Memorial Day.
Really? Yeah.
Well, okay, well, because they're fucked up State.
Is there a reason that you're read or.
Well, it's just weird laws like the Sun Laws and that kind of shit.
Alcohol sale I'm a royal is in most states,
but it's important in your state We.
Lax the law.
Exactly.
So as of the printing of this article, which was just a few days ago,
here are the states that have restrictions on alcohol sales on Memorial Day.
Roadside prohibited before noon but allowed afternoon
Arkansas prohibited between the hours of 12 a.m.
and 1 a.m.. And you have to buy it at Walmart.
You buy it at Walmart.
Wait, wait.
With ammunition.
Between noon and one.
Prohibited. Prohibited 12 a.m. and 1 a.m..
So one hour is prohibited for one hour from 12 a.m.
to 1 a.m..
Wait, wait, wait. Am am 2 a.m.
12 a.m. So midnight to 1 a.m.
What the what?
Why though it's our Kansas. What do you expect?
Like it's like it seems like oh like a bar thing
and it's almost just like once just pouring out for your homies right.
And get back to it.
Well, and here's, and here's Florida.
I think this is the only rule that Florida has in the entire state.
You cannot buy it before 7 a.m..
That's pretty normal for every where?
Every day.
No. Yeah, I don't know.
I think here at 6 a.m., between two and six here.
It's. I don't know that I've ever been so hard pressed for that.
But you've been out to figure out that rule.
We should try some day.
Like the pretty usual rule around here is like,
you can't buy alcohol until 8 a.m..
Okay, that's surprising in Wisconsin that you could always get alcohol.
We have to make some rules.
Okay. One or two.
Massachusetts. It's prohibited altogether.
What? Yeah.
So enjoy that Boston sweatshirt. Oh, my God.
I get. These people.
Yeah. You need to talk to people about some things.
In South Dakota.
It's prohibited, except for malt beverages in specific stores.
Very strange.
Where do you think they list like the stores?
Yeah, Where does that list? South Dakota.
It's probably in the one city. In South Dakota.
It's the capital.
And then finally, there should be a no surprise.
Anybody? Utah completely prohibited.
Where fun is not allowed.
Well, what was the thing from basketball?
When he's like this?
The New Orleans Jazz moved to Salt Lake City where they don't allow music.
Yeah, the Lakers moved from Minnesota.
Yeah. Where they have no lake.
Yeah well, we'll go.
You weird fucked up states.
Way to go.
I mean, how else do you celebrate? You know, Right?
Yeah.
No one's celebrating,
so no one is getting out of the pool slowly and handing flex a water bottle.
They're handing them a beer. They did get out of the pool slowly today.
And I was wondering if people are watching.
Be able to stand up afterwards.
And, you know,
you reap them anyways.
I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day a couple days ago.
Two days ago.
Yeah.
I hope you all got real hammered.
That's my favorite.
Hey, better than the booze. Like the booze. Like, we'll do like.
Hey, let's do a Valentine's Day special, and then they won't air it
for six months,
at least for just two days.
Like, No.
They're great guys.
Yeah, great guys.
Super great.
You know, they are interesting.
We cut all this out.
After.
We have been drinking. But
they're okay.
Yeah, we can be.
I would give them to my friend.
I would take it if it was free,
but not pay for it.
Let's make that clear.
Oh, sure. Oh, all right.
I think it's time we hit some music and say hi, Vanessa Louvin.
Hey, man, I say.
Enjoy your weird Florida rules.
Don't try and buy beer before 7 a.m. because they ain't going to happen.
All right, That's normal. So that's not weird to me.
Okay. Yeah.
I mean, I'm usually drinking like 630, so in a fucking shit up,
you can find us on the socials at Craft Beer Republic at Flex Me.
A beer underscore is in between, of course, step one Hop, HP Mess
and the ex-con
and 8050, crap. Your vodka.
80553 Beer 23370 to leave his voicemail sex.
That's whatever you want to do.
I think that is everything.
And I hope everyone is saying very well hydrated.
And on that note. Goodnight, everybody.
