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

Let the Kids Pick the Beer: New Craft Beer Republic Episode
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 a fine line between a smoothie and a beer… and Greg might’ve just crossed it.
