Forbidden Root Talking About Talking, Other Half Green Diamonds and Superdelic Hops in "Superdelic Hops, Bro!"
theunfilteredgentl
In Batch 463 of Craft Beer Republic, Flex tries his first beer with Superdelic hops and wins his family's annual game of HORSE with a beer in hand. Greg gets dragged to a reception-only party for his wife's fired coworker, where the main event is a 15-minute video of the entire Vegas ceremony. Plus Other Half Green Diamonds, the passing of Highland Brewing's founder, and a debate over what an Uber driver should do when drunk passengers get sick.
Flex, HORSE ChampionAt his nephew's fifth birthday party, Flex played the annual backyard game of HORSE against two very competitive in-laws while drinking Eagle Park Setlist and rosé sangria. Flex went 3-0, then sent a photo of himself holding one of his kids' toy horses as his trophy.
A Reception Without a WeddingGreg and his wife were invited to a former coworker's reception, no ceremony, and the coworker got fired before the party. The open bar didn't start until 5:30, every table was taken, the DJ kept turning the volume up, and the entrance was preceded by a full 15-minute video of the couple's Vegas wedding with a creepy officiant who walked circles around them.
A Better Memorial Day WeekendThe rest of the weekend went better: a day on a small lake in his boss's electric boat with Coley, Devin, Intern Brian, Kevin and Patty, where Brian showed up with cases of Firestone and Coors, and a free concert in the park with a Journey cover band.
Craft Beer NewsOscar Wong, the founder of Highland Brewing, died at 84. Great Divide is closing its two Denver taprooms after selling its distribution business to Wilding Brands. A Rome, Georgia woman pulled over for a broken headlight in a 1970 Camaro was found with meth in her pants. And police in England ask Uber drivers to stop dumping drunk passengers on the side of the motorway when they get sick, which leads Greg and Flex to debate what they'd do.
Beers We're Drinking
Flex: Forbidden Root Talking About TalkingFlex is drinking Talking About Talking from Forbidden Root, a 5.4% double dry hopped hazy pale ale with Citra and Superdelic hops. It's so hoppy it drinks more like an IPA than a pale, a little too harsh for the style.
Greg: Other Half Brewing Green DiamondsGreg is drinking Green Diamonds from Other Half Brewing, an 8.5% imperial IPA with 100 IBUs that's bitter, thick and grapefruity. His can from Tavour poured much darker than everyone else's photos, and he wouldn't buy it again.
