New Episode: Supposed to Be a Hazy IPA

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 without some chaos. Greg confesses to his Halloween costume choice — the now “infamous” Peter-Peter — and Flex reveals a dark secret: the man hates jello shots. We’re not sure that’s legal.

In Booze News, Upright Brewing calls it quits, Maui Brewing tightens its reach, and George Clooney apparently decided beer needed less fun. Plus, the cops in Evansville are picking up beer cans while Junior takes a joyride back to the station, and an Ohio driver earns our respect with the line of the week: “Take me drunk, I’m home.”

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when you mix smoothie beers, bad costumes, and responsible SEO, this is the one to crack open with us.
