Erica's Alaskan Pale Ale, a Two-Year-Old Other Half x Burial IPA and Brewery Closures in "Dry January? Never Heard of Her"

In Batch 443 of Craft Beer Republic, Erica of Neck Nosh is back with an Alaskan pale ale from Broken Tooth Brewing, and Greg digs a two-year-old Other Half and Burial collab out of the back of his fridge. A mountain lion takes down a horse a mile from Erica's house, Greg once chased a coyote while tipsy, and Flex explains how he survived the early days of dating without farting.

Breweries Closing QuietlyA second location of Eureka near Erica pulled out all the furniture without saying a word. Flex's mom texted to ask if all the closures are normal for craft beer now, and Flex told her it is when you suck. Greg also tells about a brewery he liked where the beer and the food suddenly went bad, right as the owner sat down at the next table.

Wildlife and Bad IdeasA mountain lion took down a horse a mile from Erica's house in Loomis. Flex's area gets the occasional rogue bear. Greg chases coyotes out of his front yard, and one tipsy night he handed his wife the dog leash and took off after the biggest one he'd ever seen.

Gifts for Grown-UpsGreg would rather skip adult gift exchanges and go have a nice dinner. Instead, he got a discontinued rum gift set, and he's the guy who deleted the family gift exchange app.

Craft Beer NewsThe U.S. Surgeon General calls for cancer warnings on alcohol. A judge upholds Stone's $56 million verdict against Molson Coors, plus interest. Explorium, Flex's favorite mall brewery, takes over Good City Brewing. Harpoon's and Smuttynose's parent companies merge into Barrel One Collective. And in Zambia, 13 prisoners walk out after a drunk detective unlocks their cells. Shout-out to Miami, last week's top listening city.

Beers We're Drinking

Erica: Broken Tooth Brewing Rock Paper CitrusErica is drinking Rock Paper Citrus, a 6.2% American pale ale from Broken Tooth Brewing in Alaska that her friend Jacob brought back. It's tangerine on the nose and a little bitter, and she calls it a great crushable beer.

Greg: Other Half Brewing and Burial Beer Number ThreeGreg is drinking Number Three, a 6.8% West Coast IPA collab from Other Half Brewing and Burial Beer with Simcoe, Amarillo, Centennial and Cascade. It was a gift from Mel, canned two years ago, and it's now straight dank pine.
