TJ Maxx Beer Dreams

Today we've got ballpark beer lists, drunk Florida drivers, the economics of a six pack, and the seven supplements for long lasting hangovers. Let's go. Welcome in everybody. This is the craft beer republic. I'm Flex. Thanks for drinking. Thanks for joining. I today I believe it's something odd, like 4039 days sober,

41 days sober. Oh my God. Uh, and I think Greg over here is 41 seconds. Not sober. Yeah. So how are we doing? How we doing, Greg? I gave up sobriety for lent. Yeah, that's. That's amazing. Yeah, that's probably what I should have done. I don't know how I did it, but I've done it. And thank you all for your help and helping me stick through it. Wow. That is so admirable. You're an inspiration to us all. Yeah, I even gave up being a vegetarian too. Oh. Just for lent. Just for lent.

We're lucky to have this man grace us on this wonderful planet that's joining us. Joining us for another week. As you already here, we got stuff from Utah. Hi. Hi. I'm so happy to be here. I didn't know they were allowed to podcast in Utah, so that's kind of neat. Only if you have three spouses. Oh. I think you have to mention God at least four times. Oh, boy. God. Well, I got my Bible here, so.

It's like a, it's like a Beetlejuice thing where it's like, if you say it four times. Right, then all of a sudden you wear magic underwear. Don't do it. I mean. It's not worth. It. It's like the M&M commercial with Santa Claus. He does exist. They do exist. If there is a God, we're all about to get struck by lightning, right? Well. Flex, I feel like I'm more likely to have that happen as it is currently severely thunderstorming out.

Which to this city probably is too, as it's close to me a top listening city last week. MM. Chicago, Illinois. Hey. Yeah. Nothing like. A little. Midwest love. I love Chicago, too. Which actually kind of pains me because as somebody who lives in Wisconsin, Milwaukee especially, we hate growing up. It's really funny. Here's a kind of a fun story. You grow up being taught to hate people from Illinois like it's a real thing.

Illinois drivers are the worst type of driver, and you learn it at a young age because you're driving with your mom, your dad, your aunts and uncles. And every time an Illinois driver is around, they're just obnoxious and they're awful and they obey zero rules and they're the worst. They're the absolute worst. And and as you get older, you start driving as I as I did. You hate them even more. Wow. And then they got the the cubs.

The bears. Oh my God, are they just. I'm so glad. It's. I love that you expanded your reasons for hate because at first I was like, oh, we hate Idaho here. But just because they're just because they drive like shit. But then you explained your hatred and I was like, oh, we're the same. But then you threw in some sports teams. Oh, the sports teams are the worst because they're sports fans are the worst, not a sports show. This is just a Flex rant. Uh, their sports fans are the worst because they don't. They're not actual fans.

You only ever hear about their sports teams when they're doing well. Sure. And when they're not doing well, they just all crawl back into the cracks like a fucking cockroach and the light turns on you stupid cockroach bastards. Must be a lot of crawling back in there. Yeah, but. Alas. Those aren't sports fans. Let's put some icing on the cake. I do enjoy the city of Chicago.

The fam and I usually take one weekend a year. We pop down there, we spend a night or two. We enjoy Michigan Ave, Millennium Park, the bean, the whole nine yards. The world's largest Starbucks is there. And you know, that's a good time. Very much a fan of the city. It's a great. Sounds like it. Yeah. So without further ado. I think Steph has another beer that she wants to drink.

Yeah, I'll play a little music so she can compose herself after that. Thanks. A lot of anger. I thought Flex was a peaceful, a pacifist, but. Definitely not. Only not only in the guild. That's what guilds are all about. Today I am drinking a sour brainless on pineapple from Epic Brewing in Salt Lake City and it is freaking delicious. And I have been hoarding this beer

because this was one that they made at their Colorado location, which has since closed for like over a year ago. Uh, but their barrel aged program was there. And this is a barrel aged sour and it's freaking delicious. Uh, it is a oh my gosh, listen, I'm sitting in a dark room and I can't remember, it's a 6.3% and it's a little tart, but more barrel aged and. It's. So good. And I only have one left after this one. So this is how much I love you

guys that I chose to drink. Why you must love us a lot. I do love you guys a lot. I don't know why but. You. Don't have to lie, Greg. Thanks, though. Yeah. Super angry. There was so much rage at the beginning of this program that I was like. I had to bring back some love. You gotta use a little love here. Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry. What fruit did you say was a part of the pineapple? Pineapple? Yes. So barrel. Aged sours. Mhm.

I'm a fan, but they can't be, like, too Woody. Okay. You know, like when they get too much of that barrel characteristic. I do. Yes, because I've had quite a few shooter aged sours. Yeah. Powders. And yeah, I enjoyed them as well. But sometimes they get a bit oaky for, uh, for my liking. Yeah, yeah. And, uh, from the futre. Yeah.

This one was, I believe, aged in a barrel small, the small version of a footer? Or is the footer the big version of. I think they call those fighters. It's a fighter. That was very quick, Greg. Uh, this one you can taste that. It's barrel aged, but it's not. I know what you're talking about. It's not overwhelmingly. It's not like licking a piece of wood. It's. It's okay. It's great. Uh, side note, have you guys have any had anything aged in. Is it an Amr? Never mind.

I can't remember the word. It's like. Amira, I don't it's a weird wood. Amaretto. What? No, no. Not amaretto. It's not that. I know what you're talking about. Um, Firestone did one and it has, like, cinnamon quality to it. Right. It's this crazy wood, and you only have to age your beer for, like, a couple of hours if you age it for much longer. It is overwhelming. So this is like the fastest barrel aging ever anyway, that it's really cool. If you get a chance, I will look up the correct term and send it to you guys because if you get a chance. We got some time.

Uh, but let me ask you, how much. How much did said beer cost. For me. In Utah? In Utah dollars. I don't know. Well, here's a better question. How much do you think that beer would have cost in 1980? Ooh ooh. I would guess around. Well, craft beer wasn't really a thing in 1980. So how do you judge that? You're asking me to compare things that exist now that didn't exist then. Well, I'm just using a poor tangent because.

She just keeps shutting you down. How much? A six pack of beer costs in 1980 versus now? Ooh. I would guess a six pack was probably like less than $6. Well, I would definitely think it was less than. It's like $6 now. No, they're like $16 now. A six pack. Yes. Of just like regular beer. Oh, no. Never mind. I was thinking about craft beer. I'm sorry. I'll just be quiet from now on. Yeah, okay. At least for, like, two minutes so I can read this. Uh, uh, a new analysis shows beer may

actually be cheaper today than it was in 1980, at least for macro brews. Uh, back in 1980, a six pack cost about $3.40, which adjusts to roughly $13.30 today. But current prices for beers like Budweiser and Miller Lite average around $8 to eight and a half dollars for a six pack, about 37% cheaper than the inflation adjusted price. Beer prices have still risen in recent years, up to 40% since 2015,

and craft beer has pushed perceptions higher, with many six packs over $12. But compared to 1980, traditional domestic beers actually less expensive today. Interesting. Also, if I find a $12 six pack of craft beer. It's because they're on fire. Yeah. Um, like the brewery is actively on fire. Really? $12 for a six pack of craft. I mean. Yeah, that's. Cheap. There's no way. Really. You got you shit me right now.

No, no. Six packs of craft. You're serious? When I was, like, 16, $17 cheapest. They're more than that. They ranged from, like, I don't know, 9.99 to like 1049 here. I bought a four pack the other day. It was 1999. That's crazy. Yeah. It's insane. Where are you living? Like beer. Heaven. Well, you are in Wisconsin. Oh, now that you mention it. We got a nice guild here that helps with the six packs.

Uh, no, I don't know. We got, uh, so Eagle Park, my my favorite place to ever drink at and from and everything. Their flagship IPA is usually on store shelves for like 1049 to 1099, and for. A six. Pack, it's a 6.5% American IPA. And from the owner's mouth himself that it is barreled with like brewed with £3 of hops per barrel, which is like a stupid amount of

hops for like a flagship shelf IPA. That's crazy. Yeah. So yeah, we get, we get super solid prices and, uh, super solid beer for the price. So even if you go to the, uh, goodwill of craft or the thrift shop of craft beer and you find something that's canned fucking three years ago, it's still 20 bucks for a four. Pack, right? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. They need to get like TJ Maxx beer store. You know, it's like. Is the TJ Maxx? No dude.

Because it'd be like Msrp 1999 but TJ Maxx beer price 14.99. But if you put in your phone number. That would be that would be so cool. You know, I gotta check out. Do you guys have, uh, grocery outlet bargain market out there? Either of you. Know. We used to actually have grocery outlet here, but I haven't seen one in like 20 years. What is it? Just like a discounted food store. Same kind. It's like TJ Maxx grocery stores,

goods. Oh, no, we don't have that. They they often had I. Think we call those food pantries and it's for the homeless. No, no, no, it's not like that. They have them out here and they often have stuff that's like, what made me think of is the your price is like everything on there. It's like these bag of chips, normally 6.99 your price 3.99. I gotta see what they're charging for beer there because I've, I've picked up some wine before that I've recognized like this is a surprisingly cheap bottle of this

wine and I should see what their beer prices and selection looks like. They carry old wine. Isn't that an oxymoron of price? Yeah. I don't. Know. If that crossed my mind like, fuck, man, I didn't even have to age this. And it's cheaper come pre age. Thank you, TJ Maxx grocery store. Never mind the fact they aged it next to a heater but it's fine. It's been aged. Yeah.

It's just like mulled wine you know. Yeah. Serve that warm. Exactly. Super gross. I wouldn't recommend it, but yeah, it's served warm. Yeah. I don't like mulled wine even. Like when it's supposed to be mulled wine. Okay. Yeah. Like a Christmas. Yeah. Not for me. Yeah. We have, like, a festival in the little downtown of our village area here because it's. Like the. Guild and, uh, yeah, in the guild in the village. And there's a tent that serves mulled wine every year, and it's free.

Like you don't even have to pay for it because that's what free is. Uh, if you didn't know. Thanks for explaining that to me. And I went to the tent the first year and I was like, oh, shit. Yeah, wine. Let's go. And then I dumped it out because it is trash. When next time you go and they, they say, would you like some mulled wine? You should say, no. I microwaved some at home earlier. It's fine. Let's see what they say. Just. Just for fun. I would like. I would take a picture of the look on their face. Yeah. Sorry I didn't bring my Sterno can.

Speaking of gross things, Greg, you know my avid love of ketchup. Oh, unfortunately, yes, I. Could probably just squirt it in my mouth. Oh. You know, or take a ketchup packet and, you know, do the old grenade pull the pin and. Oof! Delicious. No. You ever drink a stick of butter? I think I'd take that over. Ketchup packet. For sure. My favorite segment of the show. This is just ongoing for about six months. Yeah. Poop poop poop beergate. Oh, we got a a message from a

listener here. He said, hey, guys. Or she or they. Hey guys. After hearing all the horror stories lately, I figured I'd finally share mine. A few years back, I was at a newer brewery that had just opened and I ordered their house lager. I figured it was a safe move. How hard can a lager be? You know, Budweiser does them. Uh, first. First aged, beechwood aged. Look out! The first sip tastes a little off,

but I couldn't place it. Second sip hit me like a freight train. It tasted like straight up buttered popcorn. Not in a fun way. Like I just taken a sip out of the bottom of a movie theater popcorn bucket. It was slick, too. Like it coated your mouth. The more I drank, the worse it got. I mentioned it to the bartender and he goes, yeah, that one's got a little extra character right now. Oh, character. My guy. That's full AMC concession stand. I powered through about half before

I gave up and switched to an IPA just to reset my taste buds. Anyway, every time I get popcorn at the movies, I think about that beer. And not in a good way. Love the show. Keep the chaos going. Chris in San Diego. Oh, Chris with me everybody. That was well, well written. Say it with me, Diacetal. Okay. Just me. I was like, what are we saying together? I don't think Flex knew either. I know, but for the record, I never knew how to say that word.

No. Oh, yeah. It's got, like, a c t l at the end. You were like, d a c e t Seidl. Yeah, it's. Like I've seen it. Pterodactyl d The little pterodactyl. Same. That's my favorite dinosaur. Yeah. Different. Yeah. Connie. Yeah. That is an off flavor. Nobody wants that. Yeah. Um. Yikes. I do like butter, though. I love butter. Butter is the best. But you don't. But butter, the buttered popcorn flavor in beer is not.

That's not butter. Oh, no. I was just talking about butter. Oh. Did your fair have a butter cow? Uh, not that I've seen. I bet you, I bet they do. There's gotta be a state fair. Has a butter cow. I don't think there. Was a movie about the butter cow with, like. I'm sorry. Was there a movie? Dang. See myself out? Yeah. And on that note. I'll meet you out there. Why don't we find out if your beer tastes like butter? Smooth.

Calls to the bullpen for beer. Yeah, he does. Flex. I did it, I did it, I went, I went to the one brewery. We talk a lot of shit about. Oo. Steph. How do you feel about beer zombies? I know you guys talk shit about beer zombies. I have to be very careful. I listen to the show, I do. Uh, okay, I'm gonna be blunt and honest. So there is a restaurant here in Salt Lake, not a restaurant. It's a bar slash pizza place, 21 and older. It's called Snow Bar.

It's fantastic. If you come to Salt Lake, it's great. You should. But Beer zombies has a hand in snow bar. So there are beer zombies, snow bar, exclusive beers when you go in and they're not very good. Thank you. Cool. Cannot though. Cannot, cannot, cannot. Right. And the beer zombies tap handles with the little. They're fantastic. The whole concept is. As a goth girl, I'm into it, but. They're. Brewers were as good as their

artists. HMM. If only. Well, I figured if anybody could rein them in, it would be El Segundo. No one knows how to handle hops like El Segundo does. So I'm drinking. El Segundo Brewing Company collab with beer zombies Apocalypse Road Trip Hazy IPA 7% has A39, two and untapped. And I thought wow, breweries under a four. Wow. Wow. Brewery under a four.

I rolled the dice on this one. I bought a whole four pack for 37.99. She felt so left out she had to try it, she said. She said maybe Elsa Wilson wows. Maybe Elsa like Owen Wilson too. Yeah, we all do our own bad impression. Shut up Flex. And she's right. This was 37.99 for 4 Hands. So on the nose, Bud's actually not bad. Fairly. It's light on the nose. It's fairly tropical. Smelling like some pineapple

coming through. Maybe some mango or something. Unlike the Oompa Loompas. I do like the look of this. Yes. Uh, looking pretty good. Good lacing. I don't like the look of this. Don't know anybody. I got you, I got what you're saying. Okay, okay. Say it with me now. Die! Tongue-jobber. I'm sorry. I'm always a little slow. Job it in there. Yeah. Jabbing it up.

Get all jobbie. Here's. Here's what I will say about this beer. Definitely the best beer zombies beer I've had. Really? Yes. This is, uh, pretty. Not bad. Look, 392. It got the height bump. I'd give it a three, five three, seven, five somewhere in there. Uh, it's not bad. I drink it again. I bought a four pack. Ah, I wish I could have bought a 1 or 2 pack, but, um, I'm not mad about it. I'm just not excited about it. Yeah, like you'll drink them because

they're they're kind of thing, right? You're not gonna pour it down the drain. Not a drain pour very drinkable, very, very drinkable. But you know, the hype surrounding it, it doesn't live up to the beer. Look, here's the taste follows the nose pretty well. There's a little more bitter. And I expect this from El Segundo. There's a little more bitter pine tree finish on it, especially for a hazy, but overall pretty. Not bad. I drink again, I probably wouldn't buy a four pack again, but I would drink again. Okay. Sucks you got the four, but you know, could be worse. Yeah. You know what I do whenever I

have one of these types of beers where I'm like, ah, it's good, but I'm not gonna drink a ton of them. You give it to Brian. I say interim Brian. They were over last weekend and I said. I know your tricks, Greg. I know. I said, hey, you want to try a beer from Beachwood Brewing? It's called electric limbs. Looks cool. Looks. Looks like the morning piss. And you know what? He poured it out. He got a good can. It did not look like morning piss. It didn't look like piss. Yeah, it did not. Steph.

I don't know if you've heard this episode, but I had Electric Limbs by Beachwood Brewing on the show, uh, 2 or 3 weeks ago. And as I poured it, uh, yeah, I'll look it up or I won't. And as we poured it out, there was no head. There was no carbonation. And if you look down at it, legit looked like a dude takes a morning piss. Yeah. And it was dehydrated. Morning, right? Yeah. Like a drunken morning piss. Like you've been drinking a lot of coffee and hooch and then. Right? Exactly. And it tasted about the same. And I gave one to listener

Andrew as a here, you try it. You tell me if you have any better experience. He had the same experience. He even texted me. He goes, Flex nailed it. Morning piss. And I gave one to Brian. I was like, here, you try it. Apparently Andrew and I got bad cans because Brian pointed out luscious had great lacing, perfect carbonation. I was like, you motherfucker. So that's. What. You. Get for wishing for someone else to taste the awful thing that you tasted, I guess. I guess so. Misery loves. Company. And I prefaced it with like, this

is I'm giving you this as a joke. Like, you should pour this out assuming you get what I get. And he did not get what I get. And he enjoyed his beer. I hope he motherfucker. Took a different beer out of his fridge and poured it out and sent it to you in spite. You know what? Maybe he drank it in front of me. Maybe it's usually a good. Maybe it's usually better. And you got a bad can rather than he getting a good one, maybe. I don't know, I'm trying to be nice. Like he like he got a regular can. Yeah. And then there was me. And then Greg, you just got the shit.

Can. Sorry. As per usual. Been there. I feel your pain. Yeah. I'm trying to be an optimist. It's my March resolution. By being an optimist. You're telling me I get the shit? Can. Well, I'm saying more. Maybe more of their cans are good cans. And you just got the. One, right? That was shitty. Rather than all their cans or most of their cans are shit. And I understand what you're saying. Thank you. Flex. The regular cans are shitty cans. And Brian got the one good can. Like the golden ticket. Yeah. He's got the golden ticket.

He gets to go to the brewery. Yeah, to own it because he got the one good can, right? That lucky son of a bitch. That should be mine, I bought it. Yeah, you're. Right, it should. For 39.99. For it. Yeah. Like slugs worth. What a creep. Anywho. Yeah. You're right. We don't want to go down that path. Not a Willy Wonka show. Not yet. It's getting there.

Before we go any further, how about we just jump into some news? Uh, little local news for my locale. Oh, yeah. You like that? Uh, Eagle Park brewing and distilling. Acquires sole boxer cocktail company. So it sounds like they're getting into the r t D's. Uh, Eagle Park Brewing and Distilling has acquired Milwaukee based RTD brand. Soul boxer cocktail company. Soul boxer is known for its bottled old Fashioneds, which, you know, we do really well here, including brandy and bourbon versions

made with real ingredients like Door County cherries and orange peel. The brand will continue selling its bottled cocktails across Wisconsin. Eagle Park says the deal will expand Soul Boxer into new formats, including canned cocktails launching this week, along with future plans for non-alcoholic and THC infused options. Soul Boxer has built an incredible reputation for quality and authenticity. And co-founder Max Borghard added, the goal is to bring that craftsmanship into new categories while staying true to the brand. The two companies already had a

working relationship with Eagle Park, previously producing soul boxer products. Are you excited for this on your on your Monday fry sessions? Um. You know, maybe if if somebody else wants to try it and then you can get. Like not excited. A can and then yeah, I mean, like, I'll try it. When you said they have candles fashions, but this is a Wisconsin based drink, right? Are these like Wisconsin old fashioneds? Because you guys are fucking shit up up there with some old fashioneds and not in a good. Wow. Yes, yes they are. Um, yeah. So we do the brandy old fashioned

sweet here and that's. Yeah, yeah. They're good. No. They're good. They are sweet. But you know what? They're right up there with circus peanuts. Oh, yeah. We are not gonna go down this road. I knew I invited her for a reason. I feel like this was a planned bash, and I'm getting hosed down. This is a hose down. Hose. And it's like you got fire hoses, and.

All of a sudden Flex gonna be like, oh, lightning. Gotta go. Boy, I wish, I wish. Oh. Sorry. Really, though, you guys make the worst old fashions. Nah. They're good. I've not had one. Davis stands by them. Yeah. They're delicious. They really are. All right. Yeah. If you're not expecting an old fashioned, they're probably okay. But if you want an old fashioned, it's not the thing. Well, yeah, if you want a regular old fashioned order, you know, regular old fashioned.

If you. Want Chicago. Brandy. Old fashioned. Sweet. You ordered that, and that's what you will get. Do you have to order it? Sweet. You can't just say brandy. Old fashioned. No, do not go there and just ask for an old fashioned. It will mess with your head. Well, they'll ask you what your kind of old fashioned you're looking for. They won't. They will just give you that weird ass read, old fashioned. That's not the right color. It's bad. It is red hued per se, but you can order them sour and they ask you if. You've never been.

Like, what. The fuck. Is this? Oh. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Oh, yeah. Sour old fashioned. Yeah. That's not an old fashioned. No, no. That's great. What country do you live in? The goddamn guild. We live in the guild. You tell survivor that he's gonna work on his old fashioned recipes. It's it's. It's time. To try it again. Next time I go.

I'm gonna try with a new mindset where I don't think of it as an old fashioned, because maybe then it will be okay. But when you go in expecting an old fashioned and you get that it is torture. Well, just. Be specific next time. I didn't know you had to choose. I didn't know. I had no idea. Yeah, it's like the official drink of the state. It's a regional. Goddamn guild research. Anyways. It's on the website. The The Lost Abbey to add fourth location on the verge of its 20th

anniversary, the lost Abbey is adding a fourth satellite tasting room in Miramar, San Diego. The 1400 square foot former brewery and craft beer bar is in the Merlani maker's district. Hope I said that right now. The previous tenants included Nanobrewery Thunderhawk ailments. What a cool fucking name. And Wolf Larson's Ale House. Another cool name. Uh. The two. The new location is expected to open within the next two months. I kind of wish it was the old locations.

So I added this because, you know, San Diego love me some lost abbyw. I've also been to Thunderhawk ailments. Great name. Pretty good beer too. That was really. Yeah, yeah. Okay. I was not expecting that. I was expecting you to say not good beer. No, beer was good. I mean, look, this is. I'm pretty sure it was pre Covid when I was there. And if it wasn't pre Covid, it was just after Covid. Um, but yeah, Thunderhawk did some good beer. Didn't even know they went out of business. So sorry to hear about that. Lost Abby has developed such a

weird model. They closed their original location, which was Stone's original brewery. They took over Stone's. Maybe because it was lost and they couldn't find it. Oh, God. We know who the dad in the room is. And, uh, they were there forever at Stone's original location. And then they they shut down and then they started contracting at different places. If I remember correctly. I think they're brewing out of Mother Earth. Really? Aren't we all.

Correct? Haha. No. Flex. No. Yeah. I need to remind everybody Flex is not drinking. I know what you're thinking. Like Flex must be drinking some triple IPA over there. Nope. He's just hyped up on that Brewers game. I've been on one lately, y'all. Yeah, yeah I'm good. So anyways. Yay! Lost Abbey. I'm done. All right, well, uh, we'll go from lost Abbey to take a trip down to Florida. It's been a minute. Hi, Vanessa. Vanessa.

I feel like I'm not supposed to say hi to Vanessa, but I love Vanessa, so I. Know why would you not say hi to. Because last time I said hi, Vanessa, you guys looked at me like, what the fuck? We say hi, Vanessa. Who does she. Think she is? No, we were we were waiting for you to say hi. You were just on some weird ass last time. Yeah, I know. Geez. I'm sorry. You can marry. Her. The intranet. Yeah, but Vanessa is fantastic. As is her. Her partner in crime. Why are you both looking at me like you don't know who he is? I don't know. Yeah. No. Yeah. I've never. I've never talked to him or met him.

And he doesn't send me funny memes on the daily. It's great. To hear about it after the show airs because. He listens. He does, but he's like a month behind, so I've got some time. She, on the other hand, every Wednesday on the way to work. So. Uh. A Florida man is facing multiple charges after authorities say he crashed his car through a gate at an airport and tried to board a plane. Oh. Maybe he was late. Uh, to the Volusia County

Sheriff's Office. Nailed it. Uh, 58 year old Brian Parker drove onto a taxiway at Daytona Beach International Airport, nearly hitting a moving aircraft before abandoning his car and running toward nearby planes. Deputies say he tried to board an occupied aircraft, then moved on to other planes, briefly getting inside at least one before an airport worker chased him down, pulled him out and sat him on a truck tailgate. Parker then jumped off and ran toward yet another plane before

being caught again. Then when deputies asked what happened, Parker responded, I don't remember saying. Later admitting he had been drinking and using drugs. Saying. He was arrested and charged with multiple offenses, including attempted aircraft piracy, DUI and trespassing. Yeah, yeah. So I have a visual. Of security putting him on a tailgate like he's a seven year old. Like, here you go, buddy.

Sit down on this tailgate. Don't move. Is there anything more white trash than they sat him on a. Promise you won't move. If we turn around, you're still gonna be there. You need to sit there for at least this many more minutes. Man, I miss cops. This wasn't even cops. This was guy ran from airport. Probably wearing khakis and a polo. I just can't believe he actually

got on a plane. He did? Well, he did a lot in however many minutes he took. He got a lot done. And, like, those planes cannot be, like, close together, you know? So he's like, he's got some endurance going on here. Usain Bolt out there between planes. Bolt. What I said Usain Bolt. Oh the Olympian. I thought you said you saying bolt. Not Usain Bolt.

This is more like Mario when he gets the feather. Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah. The nerdiest moment of the day. Super odd idea for a game. A lot of drugs were happening in the 80s. You would hope so. All right, you ready for this one, Greg? I hope so. Not a baseball show, but the nine best beer deals at MLB stadiums in 2026. Not Dodger Stadium. Yeah, I don't see them on the list.

And I did. I did a little homework tonight. Oh, when I went to the game I did not drink, but I passed on a beer coolers, which Eagle Park finally got a beer in the cooler. So that's neat. And, uh, the beer prices for the 19.2oz cans, I believe they're 19.2oz. Uh, 1135. I thought that was kind of random. For craft. But also yeah, for craft. Can't go wrong with that. Heck of a price. Can't wait till, uh, my fake lent is over and I can

finally drink again. Yeah. Me too. So we'll start with number nine. Loandepot Park for the Miami Marlins. It is $5, and for a 12 ounce draft all game long with the 325 menu or 305. What is that, 345. Makes sense. That's 305. Makes sense. You're right. Okay, I thought it was a typo. Uh, okay. We all know Pitbull is Mr. 305. You know what? It makes sense now. Mr.. Worldwide. Yes. That too. I did both. It's got a lot of names.

Yeah, he does picture that with a Kodak. Oh. Heard that song today. Uh. Every one of his songs. Number eight. Uh, Busch Stadium. The $5 draft beers all game long at the Budweiser Terrace. T-Mobile Park up in Seattle. $5 beers like Keystone Light, which I've never seen on tap anywhere. No, I don't think so. And Miller high life. And then it says plus $6 to $8 craft options. $8 craft options. That's crazy. That is crazy.

Because you can't even get domestic beers for that price. No, a lot of places. Dude, a Bud Light at Dodger Stadium is like 12 bucks. Yeah. That's gross. Yeah, it's super gross. Uh, number six on the list. This is surprising. Uh, Citi Field in New York for the Mets. $5, 12 ounce Coors Lights on two. Oh, only on Tuesdays. All right. And they're kind of they're keeping it cool there. Limit four per customer. So. All right, so you get four and you send your wife up. There you go. Hey. For more. What if your wife likes beer? Well well then you're right.

Yeah. Wink. Uh. Number five. Not a wink show. Uh, Comerica Park in Detroit. They offer $5 12 ounce beers daily with a 16 ounce upgrade on Thursdays because Thursdays get thirsty. Number four. Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati Reds, $3 12 ounce beers. They weren't that last summer.

Says every Tuesday it's kind of like $3. Yeah. $3. Yeah. And they weren't like that last year when I went I swear to God. Chase Field in Arizona, $4.99 12 ounce beers all season at value stands. I like the sound of that. Coming in number two. Dakine Park in Houston, which it'll always be Minute Maid. Uh, $5 Budweiser drafts on Friday nights, plus. Oh, a DJ in fireworks. Oh. It's a party. But beer only on. Only on Friday night.

That sound. I envisioned. By the way, if I was late to the show from coming home from the game that I was gonna pop in and go bam. Bam, bam, bam, bam! And the fact that you did it, it's like a full circle inner monologue moment. Glad I could hit that. Because you're adorable. Number one on the best beer deals. Uh, Coors Field in Colorado. $3 beers before first pitch at the rooftop. Uh, rotating between domestic

and craft options. I wish I would have known that last summer. Yeah, that's really cool. I'm sure much like Cincinnati, for me, it wasn't like that last summer. That's my. Guess. Not have been. Yeah, maybe we should travel more this summer. Ha. I feel like you should. Yeah. We'll see what happens in the summer. Uh, because it's summer. Anyway. I think that's about all we got left. I think we're gonna hit some music. We are. Thanks, Steph, for, uh, doing one more episode with us. I don't know why she did. You're welcome. Thanks for letting me come back. I missed. You guys. Yeah.

We missed you. It's been. A while. It's been, like a year at least. I'm so glad your internet worked this week. Yeah. Me too. Thank goodness for the booster. We're gonna say follow us on the socials. @CraftBeerRepublic. Uh, send us mail. @CraftBeerRepublic. Com or. Mail. At mail at. There you go. Nailed that one. Com-a mail at. Give us a call 805 538.
