California + Wisconsin · Craft Beer Republic

We're Greg & Flex.

Two States. One Republic.

We take the show seriously. Ourselves? Less so. Each Wednesday, we open some beers, catch up on booze news, and get into what’s happened since the last round.

Greg holds down the California end of the Republic. He loves finding a good brewery, getting to know the people behind the beer, and having someone to share it with. That last part is a big reason this show exists.

He puts a lot into making Craft Beer Republic feel like catching up with friends. You don’t need a beer certification to join the conversation. A recommendation and a sense of humor will do just fine.

Flex is the Wisconsin half of the Republic: a craft beer fan with a quick laugh and no intention of letting Greg get away with everything. The two are states apart, but you’d never know it from the way they give each other a hard time.

He’s here for the beer, the friendships, and the chance to find something worth recommending. There’s always room for another opinion, especially if it comes with a beer Greg hasn’t tried yet.

Under Qualified. Over Hydrated.

Pull up a chair.

Craft Beer Republic is a weekly craft beer podcast with honest reviews, booze news, brewery stories, and a lot of conversation between two guys who enjoy a good beer.

Our listeners are part of it, too. Beer recommendations, brewery finds, questions, and voicemails all have a place here. You don’t need to know every hop variety to join us.

Tell us about a beer, share a brewery story, or ask us a question. We’d love to hear from you.
