Not All Free Beer Is Good Beer – CBR Batch 475 Is Out Now!
theunfilteredgentl
If you’ve ever been handed a free beer and still wanted to give it back, Batch 475 of Craft Beer Republic is going to feel a little too relatable.
In this episode, Greg is joined by his wife Shannon, stepping in for Flex (who abandoned us for a Brewers game). While Greg drinks against doctor’s orders—yep, that happens—they dig into the latest craft beer drama, reminisce on their boozy Denver adventures, and tackle one of beer’s biggest questions: is juicy pale ale really for pale ale people?
They’re also tasting a beer that, according to intern Brian, was “absolute garbage.” Spoiler: it wasn’t. But it did taste like fake fruit juice, which brought up a pretty heated takedown of pineapple Sculpin. Not all free beer is good beer, folks.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
* A juicy pale ale from Dogfish Head that’s raising some eyebrows
* Denver beer trip highlights: Odell, Fossil, Full Frame, and more
* The hop formerly known as HBC 586 finally gets a name—Krush
* Craft beer commentary on Ballast Point’s newest ownership shake-up
* BrewDog’s co-founder quits, again
* A drunk guy steals a golf cart at the airport and causes pure mayhem
* The insanity of the beer mile—yes, chugging and running is a sport now
Whether you're a long-time craft beer nerd or just here for the ridiculous news stories and brewery banter, Batch 475 delivers both laughs and legit beer talk in a way only CBR can.
🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your pods. And hey—maybe skip the pineapple beer this time.
