Radiant Enlightened Energy, a $28 Glass of Hotel Wine and a $111,000 Beer Can in "The Price of Wine, The Power of Beer"
theunfilteredgentl
In Batch 459 of Craft Beer Republic, recorded on Cinco de Mayo, Greg finds the perfect hazy pale at Radiant after giving up on parking at Villains, then pays $28 for a nine-ounce glass of hotel wine. Flex gets a beer brewed for a bar's Arbor Day party, a Belgian brewery hides 12,000 beers for an Easter hunt, and a cone top can from Wisconsin sells for $111,000.
A $28 Glass of Hotel WineOn a work trip, Greg went down to the hotel bar for a glass of cabernet. Nobody showed him a menu, so he ordered the bottle he knew retails around $30, then got charged $28 for a nine-ounce pour, before the receipt suggested a 20% tip. That kicks off a talk about how Greg and Flex tip on drinks.
A Lager for Arbor DayAn Eagle Park regular named John, not to be confused with Non-Murderer John, dropped off a beer for the show. Spitfires on State throws an Arbor Day party every year, and this year Explorium Brewpub put the collab in cans as Our Bar Day.
Cinco de Mayo and CarnitasGreg and Flex keep Cinco de Mayo low key with chicken tacos, fresh pico and Costco carnitas, and take a quick look at what the holiday actually celebrates: the Battle of Puebla in 1862, not Mexican independence.
Craft Beer NewsA brewery in Belgium hid 12,000 bottles of beer for the world's biggest Easter beer hunt, with a golden bottle worth its finder's weight in beer. Boston Beer's shipments grew 5.3%, thanks to Twisted Tea, Hard Mountain Dew and Sun Cruiser. Blue Owl Brewing's East Austin brewery was sold to brothers Tony and Ian Norris. A Chief Oshkosh cone top can from Wisconsin, the only one known to exist, sold at auction for $111,000. And a drunk former CHP captain is charged after a wild JetBlue flight to LAX.
