The latest episode of the Craft Beer Republic podcast starts the same way a lot of good nights do: solid music, a great beer, and zero intention of talking about medieval units of measurement. Somehow, it ends with both hosts agreeing that carrying a dead snake might be a viable legal strategy, and that mugs are objectively the worst way to drink beer. This week, Greg and Flex cover a wide stretch of craft beer territory, from hazy IPAs and disco ball cans to beer horror sto

A new episode of the Craft Beer Republic podcast is live, and it starts with a bold move at the bottle shop. Flex lets his kids pick the beer, which leads to a very pink can, an extra pale ale, and a reminder that good craft beer doesn’t need to be an IPA to be worth drinking. The episode moves through listener messages, official beer research conducted outdoors, and a discussion about bottle shops, pricing, and why some spots are worth going out of your way for. There’s als

There’s always that beer you used to love. The one you chased, defended, and ordered without thinking. And then one day you try it again and realize it’s just not for you anymore. That idea sits at the center of the newest Craft Beer Republic podcast episode, Some Beer That We Used to Know . Greg and Flex get into boozing on a budget, a listener email that corrects Flex in a very official way, and Greg finally trying Beatboxes so the rest of us don’t have to. If you like cra

Each holiday season brings its own traditions — familiar stories, warm rooms, and a drink shared by the fire. This year, Craft Beer Republic is proud to introduce a new holiday tradition with the release of ’Twas the Drunk Before Christmas , a fully produced Christmas story created especially for craft beer fans. Unlike a typical craft beer podcast episode, ’Twas the Drunk Before Christmas is presented as a complete holiday audio story. Inspired by the structure and tone of

The holidays are officially here, which means Flex is out sick, Erica jumps in, and Craft Beer Republic is rolling straight into the season with beer, stories, and the kind of holiday chaos only a good craft beer podcast can deliver. In this episode, Greg finally completes his annual hunt for Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale , the classic West Coast holiday beer that somehow only needs two cans to feel like Christmas. Erica brings her own Sierra Nevada winter lager , along wit

New episode alert: A Brewery with No Beer is live on Craft Beer Republic —your stop for honest beer talk, brewery news, and questionable life choices that somehow involve French fries. What’s inside: Flex gambles on a hype release from Drekker x RaR and pays for it in flavor and dignity. Greg takes a swing at a black IPA that feels straight out of the ’90s. A listener email keeps Poopgate 2025 alive (liquid baloney, anyone?). Tampa tops our listener charts. And yes, we

It’s that time again — a fresh pour of Craft Beer Republic just dropped, and this one’s got everything: Celebration Ale drama, a stealth beer drop plan for a Christmas party, and Flex’s Midwest Spanish getting flagged by the language police. On episode 489 , Showing Up With Used Beers , Greg’s on a mission to find exactly two Celebration Ales. Not a six-pack. Not a Costco case. Just two. And of course, things spiral. Trader Joe’s becomes ground zero for the search, and someho

Thanksgiving is here, and the newest episode of Craft Beer Republic has officially landed. If you’ve ever suffered through an overcooked bird, endured a family argument about nothing, or tried to sneak a decent beer into a holiday gathering, this one’s for you. In Grandma’s Dry Turkey , Greg and Flex break down the perfect mix of holiday chaos and craft beer wisdom the only way this beer podcast knows how: badly timed turkey calls, strong opinions, and way too much laughter.

You know those moments when you’re trying to “pace yourself” at a concert and end up running your own half-drunk science experiment? Greg does. Flex is just here for the mustache compliments. In this week’s episode, Greg rediscovers an old beer flame — Deschutes’ Black Butte Porter — and somehow turns it into a crash course on mouthfeel and emotional support beers. Flex goes full professor, breaking down the actual history of the porter, and yes, it’s surprisingly interesting

New episode of Craft Beer Republic is live! If you thought Untappd couldn’t get any weirder, think again. The beer-rating app that once united hopheads everywhere has officially… diversified. And by diversified, we mean people are now rating Diet Pepsi and Coke Zero like they’re barrel-aged stouts. Yeah. We said it. Untappd, it’s not just for beer anymore. In this week’s episode, Flex takes the reins while Greg reports live from his new favorite architectural landmark — a S

There’s a fine line between a smoothie and a beer… and Greg might’ve just crossed it. This week on Craft Beer Republic , Greg unearths a mystery beer from the depths of his fridge while Flex, in true Flex fashion, shows up prepared and ready to judge. Listener Jay drops some major intel on where to find Russian River treasures like Blind Pig and the rest of those barrel-aged “-ification” beauties hiding at Whole Foods and Total Wine. Of course, it wouldn’t be a CBR episode wi

The newest episode of Craft Beer Republic Podcast is out now, and it’s one for the books. Flex takes the wheel while Greg sips through a tropical West Coast IPA that proves MadeWest and Maui Brewing know exactly what they’re doing. Between beers, laughs, and questionable science experiments, the guys uncover a Michigan law that actually defines what it means to be legally super drunk. Naturally, they start wondering if it’s time for some research. Listener Marissa from Sacr
