Monkish Nelsie, Drowned Lands Terra Nelson and Erica's Egypt Trip in "Beer Desperation in Abu Dhabi"
theunfilteredgentl
In Batch 442 of Craft Beer Republic, Erica of Neck Nosh is back from Egypt and Abu Dhabi, where the only beer at an Eminem concert was a long Heineken line. Greg drinks Monkish's Nelsie and admits he used to think he hated Nelson hops. Flex nearly confronts his fireworks-happy neighbors in his underwear at six degrees, and Chew Your Beer calls in after delivering pozole and homemade hot sauce in a Ziploc bag.
Egypt, Abu Dhabi and One Beer LineErica's family did a Nile river cruise, where the beer options topped out at Sam Adams. In Abu Dhabi, their Formula One tickets came with Eminem and Maroon 5 concerts, and she waited in the one beer line for Heineken.
Flex's HolidaysEagle Park's Set List gives Flex a hangover every time, and four of them on Christmas Eve meant a headache until 11 the next morning. On New Year's, the neighbors set off fireworks from midnight to 12:40, and Flex stomped downstairs in his underwear to go yell at them before his wife talked him down.
Pozole and a VoicemailThere was no Pozole Palooza this year, but Chew Your Beer brought Greg a big container of pozole with homemade hot sauce in a Ziploc bag, then called in with a Feliz Navidad. Greg also kept his holidays to three groups of people, and never two on the same day.
Craft Beer NewsThe show's most downloaded episode of 2024 was episode 400 with Dan and Scott. Jimmy Carter, who legalized homebrewing in 1978, passed away at 100. Pabst moves its contract brewing to Anheuser-Busch. WWE takes a minority stake in Hulk Hogan's Real American Beer. And Forbes' five must-try IPAs of 2024 include Tree House's Green and Lawson's Finest Sip of Sunshine, which have both been around for years. Shout-out to Medford, New Jersey, last week's top listening city.
Beers We're Drinking
Greg: Monkish Brewing NelsieGreg is drinking Nelsie, a 5.9% double dry hopped hazy pale ale from Monkish Brewing with Nelson Sauvin, from Not Murderer John. It smells like fruit punch and has a pillowy, soft mouthfeel.
Flex: Drowned Lands Brewery Terra NelsonFlex is drinking Terra Nelson, a 10.5% triple hazy IPA from Drowned Lands Brewery in New York with Nelson Sauvin. It tastes like Sauvignon Blanc with hoppy dankness on the back end, and it was worth the $19.99 four-pack.
Erica: Lupulin Brewing SchismErica is drinking Schism, a 7.9% black IPA from Lupulin Brewing that she got in the Santa Suds Swap. It's roasty and smoky with a lingering dank bitterness.
