## Resource

Crack open your favorite (or coldest) craft beer! Greg is drinking a hype beer thanks to a listener, Flex backs it like he’s been waiting for this moment, and then a listener drops a story about a pilsner that tasted exactly like hot dog water. This turns into the great hotdog debate of 2026. Flex gives us the inside scoop grocery store bribes, Greg reliving a Four Loko night he barely remembers, and a Florida golf cart ride that ends about as badly as you’d expect. Beers We’re Drinking: Greg is drinking MI, MI, MI, a Triple IPA from Old Nation Brewing . Thanks listener Andrew! Greg wastes no time declaring his triple IPA a problem in the best way, while Flex basically co-signs every sip from a distance like a proud parent. A listener email about a pilsner tasting like hot dog water spirals into a surprisingly passionate argument over boiled versus grilled hot dogs, complete with ketchup crimes and Midwest speculation. Flex shares stories from his grocery days where frozen pizza reps were handing out perks like it was a low-budget mafia, including a short-lived run of unlimited free pizza that ended in a mysterious party theft. Thanks to our Obscure Beer Term, a new beer term gets fully adopted, Greg revisits a Four Loko blackout he barely survived, and Flex introduces possibly the dumbest employee he’s ever worked with, which says a lot. Booze News: Wine and spirits execs caught running a decade-long grocery store bribery game George Clooney enters the NA beer chat with “Crazy Mountain” Four Loko might be worth $400 million somehow Tilray scoops up BrewDog’s U.S. spots, including that beer hotel Florida man gets a DUI… on a golf cart… after his wife falls off Follow your favorite beer podcast on the socials: Flex: Instagram: @flex_me_a_beer Craft Beer Republic: CraftB…
