Trillium Congress Street, a Champagne Around the World Party and Dollar Pint Math in "1,428.6 Pints"
theunfilteredgentl
In Batch 450 of Craft Beer Republic, Greg is still recovering from a Champagne Around the World birthday party for Deb that ran about 20 bottles over eight hours. He drinks Trillium's Congress Street, hides a Smirnoff Ice somewhere in his house, and a listener runs the numbers on $10,000 for $1 pints for life. Flex drinks Three Sheeps Off Season, and the guys pitch ideas to a friend who just invested in a brewery.
Champagne Around the WorldDeb's birthday party was a ChatGPT idea: guests signed up to bring champagne or sparkling wine from a region, two bottles per region, each paired with a food from that place. Roughly 20 bottles went down over eight hours, and Intern Brian DoorDashed more when it ran low. Otter from Tarantula Hill brought a collab. Greg forgot most of the day and woke up with a champagne headache and the spins.
The Hidden IceGreg bought a six-pack of Smirnoff Ice and hid one in his house for some unlucky guest to find.
1,428.6 PintsA San Francisco brewery's offer of $1 pints for life for a $10,000 donation got a listener doing math. At $8 a pint, you'd need to drink 1,428.6 pints before the deal pays for itself.
How to Keep a Brewery AliveA friend who invested in a brewery asked Greg for advice. His picks: lower ABV beers, a gose, and collabs. Trivia is fine, but Greg says bingo and comedy nights look like a brewery on its way out. Flex points to Eagle Park, which brings in guest breweries and runs a field goal contest.
Craft Beer NewsNon-alcoholic beer grabbed a 4.2% share of grocery sales during Dry January. A Georgia bill, SB 122, would let breweries self-distribute up to 3,000 barrels and drop the 288-ounce cap. An investor slams Sapporo after a $91.5 million impairment on Stone. And a Ravens lineman says he had three or four beers before blowing a .178. Greg admits he counts to 30 in his head out of old news director habit, and Flex practices his ABCs backwards just in case.
