Welcome, craft beer enthusiasts and comedy lovers alike! In this week’s episode of Craft Beer Republic, Greg and Flex bring the laughs, the suds, and the chaos as they dive into brunch regrets, lacing porn (yes, you read that right), and why Flex just can’t stand free beer. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when craft beer meets mashed potato musings, this is the episode for you!
What’s Brewing in This Episode?
This week’s banter kicks off with Greg recounting a very memorable brunch that ended with a champagne-induced time warp and a quick trip to couch therapy. Meanwhile, Flex shares his borderline love affair with mashed potatoes, dreaming up an epic mashed potato flight that could revolutionize the brunch world. The duo also pays tribute to their beer-bringing buddies, including the hilariously nicknamed "Not Murderer John," whose Treehouse Brewing hookup sparked one of the episode's funniest moments.
Beer lovers, you’re in for a treat. Greg sips on Little Machine from Treehouse Brewing, a hazy pale ale loaded with tropical fruit flavors and lacing so gorgeous it should come with a parental advisory. Flex, meanwhile, enjoys Spellbinderby Ren House Brewing, a hazy IPA with bold citrus and stone fruit notes that earns a spot in his dream lineup.
