theunfilteredgentl

Flex recaps a Brewers home opener with $13 beers and a friend's spicy ranch water, Brian formerly of Title Town calls to push Flex toward the Great Taste of the Midwest, and the news is full of sales, including Great Divide and Anderson Valley.
Champagne and DoorDashGreg went more than a week without a real beer, though there was wine. He and Shannon got two bottles of champagne deep at a Sunday brunch at home and used DoorDash for alcohol for the first time, which added about $17 to the bill.

His friend brought spicy ranch water that Flex says tasted like jalapeno chapstick. Inside, Summer Shandies ran $13, and Leinenkugel's had a Barrelman beer for the Brewers' walking keg mascot.
A Call About the Great Taste of the MidwestBrian, formerly of Title Town Brewing and now with a Madison distributor, calls to remind Flex that he needs to go to the Great Taste of the Midwest, one of the hardest beer festival tickets in the country. Greg says he'll fly out if Flex goes.
Craft Beer NewsStone Distributing and Classic Beverage are acquired by Hand Family Companies. Great Divide joins Wilding Brands, the parent company of Stem Ciders and Denver Beer Co. Mahou San Miguel completes its takeover of Founders. Anderson Valley Brewing sells to wine industry veteran Jason McConnell, keeping all the staff.
