Kick off your shoes and crack a cold one—you're hanging with Craft Beer Republic. Greg’s got his lab coat and is back on his “beer research” grind, while Flex finds out what happens when brunch in a can goes sideways. The guys dive into beer horoscopes, swap stories from their younger (dumber) days, trade booze for cheeseburgers, and try to make sense of a USPS driver who decided vodka pairs well with mail delivery.

Beers We’re Drinking:

• Flex is drinking Mmm…OSA from Equilibrium Brewing – promised brunch, delivered bland.
• Greg is drinking Werking Theory by WeldWerks Brewing and Barrel Theory Brewing – juicy, pithy, and funk-free.

Greg and Flex dive headfirst into beer horoscopes, debating whether anyone actually enjoys saisons or if sweat socks are just part of the experience. What’s your beer sign? A trip down memory lane brings stories of red-light scavenger hunts and some drunken conveyor belt races at the grocery store. One late-night drive thru turns into a cheeseburger-for-booze trade that somehow pays off. Flex gets into a stare-down with traffic-blocking geese, and Greg rediscovers the lost art of beer hunting at a neighborhood spot that finally brings the fun back. And hype breweries, are they worth the hype?
