Flex's First Pliny the Elder, a Secret Bottle Shop and Hard Mountain Dew in "Everybody Gets a Pliny"
theunfilteredgentl
In Batch 444 of Craft Beer Republic, Flex drinks his first ever Pliny the Elder, thanks to Pilot Tom, and Greg drinks one too after finding a whole pile at Total Wine. Greg reveals the bottle shop listeners have been asking about, a woman at the car wash talks to Greg as his dog for two straight minutes, and the Leinenkugel family asks Molson Coors to sell their brewery back.
Everybody Gets a PlinyPilot Tom and a buddy found a shop with cases of Pliny in the cooler, bought a whole case, and brought some to Flex along with Russian River's STS Pils. Greg grabbed his at Total Wine and sent Flex a photo of the pile just to be a dick. Greg still likes Blind Pig a little better and isn't a big fan of Pliny the Younger, though he once left brunch mid-meal for it.
The Secret Bottle ShopListener Jay asked which local spot Greg keeps mentioning. It's Stagecoach Liquors in Newbury Park, where the good stuff is in the walk-in. Jay recommends the beer cave at the Handy Mart in Moorpark. Greg also gives Total Wine credit for fresh Malibu Brewing cans, but his rule stands: no date on the can, no sale.
Fires, Fundraisers and a Dog VoiceGreg lost power for days during the Los Angeles fires, and Common Space Brewery launched a We Love LA fire relief beer with over 100 breweries signed on, including Naughty Pine. Later, at the car wash, a stranger spends two minutes talking to Greg in a high-pitched voice as his dog, Marty, until Marty walks away.
Craft Beer NewsNew Belgium launches Light Strike, a 5% boozy sports drink in a resealable bottle. The Leinenkugel family asks Molson Coors to sell back the brewery it sold to Miller in 1988. Boston Beer's Jim Koch predicts Hard Mountain Dew will be the most successful crossover brand, which sends the guys back to a first time getting drunk on knockoff Mountain Dew and vodka. And it turns out most Philly restaurants are BYOB. Shout-out to Medford, New Jersey, last week's top listening city.
