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.

This week’s conversation hits everything from the “Top 25 Beers of 2025” list to the science behind why going to the bar might actually be good for your health. (Finally, research with real-world value.) The guys walk through Thanksgiving beer pairings, rant about which breweries deserve more respect, and even unpack a beer term that sounds suspiciously inappropriate. All in a day’s work for CBR.

If you’re looking for a craft beer podcast with actual personality — not a lecture, not a snob-fest, just real people who drink real beer — this episode is a perfect jumping-in point. And yes, craft beer pairs beautifully with dry turkey, emotional support mashed potatoes, and dodging uncomfortable family questions.

Whether you’re prepping food, hiding from relatives, or sipping something good in the garage, pop in your headphones and hang out with Greg and Flex. It’s the most entertaining thing you’ll hear all holiday weekend.
