Abomination Fogsicle, Anchorage Within Us and Voodoo Ranger's Malort Roulette in "The Ultimate Beer Roulette"

In Batch 467 of Craft Beer Republic, Flex's kids pick out a sour double IPA with a skeleton penguin on the can, and it turns out to be fantastic. Greg is sore from wakeboarding and back from a so-so dinner at Villains Brewing, Flex plans a trip that includes bourbon distilleries and a pilgrimage to Buc-ee's, and Voodoo Ranger teams up with Malort on a six-pack where two cans are a bad surprise.

Fogsicle and a Bad Untappd ReviewFlex's kids grabbed Abomination Brewing's Fogsicle off the shelf in two seconds, and Flex calls sour IPAs the most underrated style in the world. His one gripe is an Untappd reviewer who admitted the can sat lost in his basement for a year, then rated it a 3.5 anyway.

Villains Brewing and Wakeboarding PainOn a work trip near Anaheim, Greg tried Villains Brewing, which Chew Your Beer wasn't a fan of. The hazy IPA was good, the wings were just okay and the service left Greg forgotten at the bar. He's also sore after hitting bigger jumps behind the new boat.

Buc-ee's, Bourbon and BallparksFlex is heading to Cincinnati for a Reds game and then Louisville for the Louisville Slugger factory, bourbon distilleries including Maker's Mark, and the Buc-ee's his kids have wanted to visit for years. Last year, the family found a Buc-ee's knockoff called Wally's where you can buy a kayak with your sandwich.

Which States Drink the Most?Listener Scott sent in the states that drink the most alcohol per person. New Hampshire is first at 4.43 gallons a year, likely boosted by its lack of alcohol taxes, followed by Delaware and Washington, D.C. Utah is last at 1.3 gallons.

Craft Beer NewsBusch Light now has a lime flavor, and BrewDog closes its Cincinnati location right before Flex's trip. New Belgium's Voodoo Ranger teams up with Jeppson's Malort on a roulette six-pack: four cans are Juicy Haze IPA and two are a Malort-inspired IPA, and they all look the same. Rogue Ales launches hemp-derived THC drinks. And for the 4th of July, Americans are expected to eat 150 million hot dogs. Greg's plan is an action movie marathon with laundry and dishes running so Marty the Brew Pup doesn't hear the fireworks.
