Beer trading, bombers, bottle shares, black IPAs, growlers, beer festivals, Untappd, mug clubs and beer dinners all used to matter a lot more to craft beer people. In the second Craft Beer Republic Short Pour, "Do We Miss...?," Greg rapid-fires old-school beer habits and trends at Flex to figure out what they actually miss, what they definitely don't, and what deserves a comeback.

* Session IPAs and black IPAs

* Bottle shares and beer festivals

* Checking in every beer on Untappd

* Mug clubs and barrel-aged everything

* Beer dinners and arguing over whether something is "to style"

What Greg and Flex Actually MissBy the end of the list, a few old favorites make the cut: black IPAs, bottle shares, beer dinners, traditional sour styles and gose. Greg and Flex also name the one thing they miss the most.
