Smog City Frost Quake, $1 Pints for Life and Three Floyds Jinx Proof in "Beerconomics: A Study in Pour Financial Decisions"

In Batch 448 of Craft Beer Republic, Greg runs into an old drinking buddy who spent years trashing the MadeWest Pale Ale, and catches him drinking one by choice. Flex learns his dad is a dead ringer for Samuel L. Jackson, and that 10 milligrams of THC is too much. Plus a San Francisco brewery offering $1 pints for life for a $10,000 donation, and a Japanese government worker who loses sensitive files after nine beers.

Caught Drinking a MadeWest PaleGreg has long called the MadeWest Pale Ale the best flagship pale in Ventura County. A drinking buddy told him for years it was garbage. Then Greg ran into him at a beer spot, and guess what he was drinking.

Super Bowl SundayFlex coached high school football against Eagles linebacker Zack Baun, who is now a Super Bowl champ. During the halftime show, Flex's ten-year-old pointed out that Samuel L. Jackson looks a lot like her Papa, and the family agrees Flex's dad is a white Sam Jackson.

Beer Research and THC DabblingPilot Tom brought Flex a Utah beer, an 8.2% double IPA called Ferda from Templin Family Brewing, and a coworker brought back Zero Gravity's Conehead from a trip. Flex also bumped his THC drink to 10 milligrams and felt wobbly, so he's sticking with six. Greg remembers a free Snoop Dogg soda from a dispensary that tasted like medicine.

Craft Beer NewsSaquon Barkley shotguns an Open Beer lager after the Super Bowl. Standard Deviant Brewing in San Francisco offers $1 pints for life for a $10,000 donation, and Greg figures you'd need to drink about 1,250 pints to break even. Total Wine's Super Bowl numbers put Michelob Ultra on top in Kansas City and Miller in Philly, with Cutwater the top seller overall. And a Japanese finance ministry worker drinks nine beers and loses a bag with files on 187 people.

Beers We're Drinking

Greg: Smog City Brewing Frost QuakeGreg is drinking Frost Quake, a 6.2% hazy IPA from Smog City Brewing that his wife picked up at Trader Joe's. It looks properly hazy but has a surprising bitterness and some old school malt.

Flex: Three Floyds Brewing Jinx ProofFlex is drinking Jinx Proof, a 5.7% lager from Three Floyds that his wife bought him for the tattoo heart on the can. It's crisp and crackery with noble hops, and Flex says it's super crushable.
