It's a New England Puddle it's at any IPA 6% 30 IBUs has a 3 8 2 on untapped and they say cuddle puddle Our core hazy IPA is bursting with juicy cryo Juicy cryo Citra Idaho 7 and galaxy hot and is one of those smoothest haziest Wow is one of the smoothest hazies we've ever brewed we get pink guava Petering passion fruit mango Valencia orange lime and lychee
I like this a lot. It is Super crushable. It doesn't drink thick like in any IPA. It's really a pale to me like a hazy pale Yeah, yeah has a little bit of dryness at the end. I definitely get all of those fruity notes delicious There's a lot of fruit jammed in there Schnoz is not quite as heavy as the flavor is I really get the tropical stuff like the mango and the passion That one shines through for me a lot. So
But very citrusy in the notes, yeah, it's nice and refreshing it is so crushable and 6% I mean It's it's right. Yeah, you can have a couple of these not get fucked up kind of range. Yeah Good times So black hammer brewing little little story for y'all Went to San Francisco last week on a work trip last-minute work trip buzz like I need you to San Francisco for a day
I was literally up there for like 30 or 22 hours or something. Okay Okay, and so get done at night on a Thursday night And my plan was I'm gonna go over to the anchor public house And have like one last anchor steam and if they let me buy something to take home, you know Take some home or whatever Well, we didn't get done with the work till like 9 o'clock and they'd already stopped serving food and they were almost closed
I was like fuck I'll find something closer So I just googled brewery and this place popped up never heard of it black hammer brewing went got a flight Started with my typical as I did hellis Hazy pale which was called old Greg and I really wanted that but then if I like it This one and a West Coast just nice a little like flight of of all their styles or some of their styles I like them all they're all really really good. And so I got cans of this brought it back
I had a couple pints after that then had a nice little buzz Couldn't find anything to eat. Apparently, San Francisco closes early now. It was so fucking weird I haven't been there since this is my first trip on a plane since Kovac. Oh, I haven't flown it weird. Yeah
Yeah, I've been flown forever and I flow flew last week I'm gonna fly in a couple weeks and we'll fly in a few more weeks over that. Oh, it's stacking but It was weird I haven't been to San Francisco since Kovac and before I could go up there for work and I could just take a walk at
1130 and everything's open. You want some food go get some Chinese food, whatever. No now like nothing is open it was super weird and creepy and Yeah, I was talking to one of my co-workers who lives up there. He's like, oh, yeah co would really change things around here
So did you ever eat anything? That's my question I finally found this Indian food place that was open till 3 in the morning They delivered though. I I dashed him to my hotel room and it was pretty good. I woke Here's the problem don't eat Indian food at like 1230 at night and then immediately go to bed because I woke up a little like rut-ro Like a volcano's yeah
Yeah, so Oof, but it was good. It was tasty and had a one of the beers some of the four-pack beers So it was good. I of course I smuggled beer back whenever I fly. I always fly Southwest
So I bring a couple of gallon Ziplocs with me Ziploc two beers jam him in some clothes to for padding and check a bag. Yep. Never had a problem knock on wood So, oh, they don't seem to care No, I mean as long as you check it they don't yeah, there's nothing wrong with it Lady at the airport, so we flew I flew Burbank to Oakland and you know back the other way So I'm in Oakland Airport waiting to come home
And I'm at this it's really a wine bar, but they had some good beer on tap They had Altamont like all Altamont beers and they had one their IPA So I was drinking some Altamont, which is always a good time and the lady next to me like one table over she's drinking white wine like grapes are running out and She's also on the phone complaining to her girlfriends she had two or three different calls how horrible her husband is and that she's been drinking for the last six weeks straight like
She needed to shut up a little bit like everyone could hear everything She was saying at one point she started singing into the phone what but like covered her phone So like oh, we can't hear everyone could hear her. Oh my god. It was hilarious
She was a little tipsy a little weird and she was doing what we call the Wiley where she doesn't finish her drink Flex you know this right? Yeah, I've heard of this Yeah, everyone around here knows what Wiley does never the only time we got him to finish his drink is when he had kovat
Cuz he couldn't taste it So good But she was doing that to her wine and the best part was at one point the waitress walks over there Oh, you know, and yeah So she brings her another one and she brings her the same thing of what she had just had this time
So the waitress takes her almost empty wine pours it into her new one. Oh, I was like, oh hero And I was like Wiley would have lost his shit Yeah if that happened so then she gets up and leaves with almost I'd say slightly more than half a glass of wine and The waitress go ma'am ma'am like full-on Mamdur. She's like what she goes your wine. She goes. Oh, I gotta go She goes your wine take it to go and she's like what I gotta go and she goes hold on and she gets a plastic
Cup pours it and hands it to her and says don't forget your wine And the ladies just look at her like, uh, she goes you can drink anywhere in the airport. You just can't take it through a gate Wow, yeah, that was aggressive. It was so aggressive. I was like not all heroes wear capes some poor wine in the plastic cups That's awesome. Some some do. Yeah. Oh, so I'm so amazed like totally tracked her down. I was like, ma'am ma'am
Do not leave your wine you paid for it's just like I say totally Mamdur. Yeah If somebody poured my like old beer into my new beer I'd I'd lose my shit It's a little different with the beer. Yeah Yeah, I purposely wasn't drinking it I understand what Wiley does because it is warm But like I had a weird uncle or like my mom's uncle who?
Was a germaphobe so he wouldn't eat the ends of his french fries because his finger touched it. That's weird Yeah, that's very sweet. Have a bunch of french fries. You're right. Watch your hands if you're worried about it So anyways, it always reminds me that does work. So they say
so I've heard But but yeah, she totally got ma'am didn't chase down. That was great. I was cracking up I was like live texting Shannon while I was going on. I was like, oh my god. She just ma'am der She tried to Wiley her wine and she ma'am turns fighting word. Yeah, and she wasn't that old She was probably like early to mid 40s. I was like, oh, he's got ma'am. I still don't think ma'am's offensive It's not it's not but it makes you feel I don't know when people do this
I don't know sir is not as bad for some reason like I feel like miss is like, okay, but ma'am's like you're old Hey, ma'am. I don't know. I don't know. I feel like miss you're assuming that the person isn't you know married or whatever, right? That's how you always learned it in school. Oh, yeah, like miss and miz were Not kind of universal though Like cuz there's two different miss is not married and then like miz is just universal I think or something like that
There's the opposite. I can't remember. I don't know Words words words, they're hard. Yeah, so fucking You know the beers I can say words better.

Yeah, she Said have you ever had glutenberg beer and I said like Steve glutenberg. I Laughed I was also drunk Dude, that's so good Such a good comeback Yeah, and I even had to like there was no response I'd say I know it's Gutenberg like I had to paraphrase that right
She had no idea who that was. I had to look it up for really see what he looked like Yeah, that's embarrassing on her part, right? And then American treasure her response was you tasted that guy and I said You wouldn't I? Mean that man was the king of the 80s. Yeah Right, I mean Police Academy owned the world, you know, and yeah three men and a whatever
98 versions of Police Academy. Yeah, and three men and a baby and a little lady and you know, dude, just dirty fucking Short-circuit. I mean Steve Gutenberg was the man. Yeah, and It just really bummed me out that she didn't understand Fucking kids these days. That's crazy. So young. Yeah, goddamn young kids. Yeah, don't have them. Yeah
So for yours yours are great and they're artists and they make labels for us. All right Let's let's find out what flex is drinking over there We're craft beer is king World where muscles are bigger than grounders only one tongue can guide us One tongue one in this world we must find out what is
flex drinking What is drinking? So today this is like maybe my like favorite beer of all time that I've ever had in the show Wow big Wow Yeah, I know it's pretty crazy it's like my heart my heart's racing so fast Take it easy take a breath Okay, so I went out to the beer store and I like calling it the beer store because my kids call it the beer store I like it, right? It's like where dad goes to get the beer the beer store
Yeah, and I'm perusing and I'm like, all right, like I'm really gonna try and find some Algorithmic beers, right? That's what I'm all about. Yeah Lately, I've been kind of getting away from that because I'm just like, oh this sounds good or You know, I don't care about how much that is and I've been getting fucking burned Greg motherfuckers burned You don't want to go away from the tried-and-true No, so I found this beer and the can art caught my eye because it straight-up says
Voltron on it and it has a picture of a Voltron cat and I'm like, how can you do that? How can you right put a licensed sounds like some infringements of sorts, right? Although they do have the universal logo Okay, right there on the label so that they must have went through something or another to do they got some permissions So anyway, this label crossed my eye and I'm like, alright, that's fucking crazy. It's cool-looking label and it's really cool and then I
Looked at what kind of beer it was Greg. Can you guess what kind of beer it was a hazy? Oh my gosh, it is a hazy IP All right, that's pretty fucking nuts, right And then Monica, you know, I'm so surprised. I throw the finger in the middle of the four-pack Hey, oh and I lean it forward just to see what they priced that four-pack at to know if I'm gonna like
Scoff or if I'm gonna go. Oh, yeah, go ahead. Guess the price $26. Oh, she doesn't know what scouts 1899 this four-pack was $9.99 what what yes, this is a pint at some fucking crazy That's what one can can cost one can yeah So I'm like, yeah my mindset right now like inside my head
I'm like, yeah, I'd be fucking kidding me like this gotta be priced wrong Somebody fucked this shit up and this is not price, right? It's gonna ring up for double so when I spin the can and it's a seven and a half percent ABV IPA like I don't even care if this tastes like shit At this point right I'm gonna buy this fucking beer. Did you go buy a lot of ticket, too? I did not it should have but I just trusted in the algorithm. That was my whole concept right here my
Purchasing concept the plan was live in the algorithm and I just corrected tonight I literally bought the beer today tried it for the first time today. And oh my gosh. Oh my gosh garbage So it says it's a hazy right first things first, and that's a hazy, right? I play a hazy now one of those bullshit hazies at see-through I wish I can grab both of your noses and shove them in this beer. I
Do dirty like just total I'd stick mine in there, too. We'd all go you know, I guess like a little nose threesome and Mmm, there is so much nose a twa so much guava Coming out of this beer. It's your favorite because it was brewed with a thiolized yeast as well. I left that I didn't read the fucking goddamn description on this beer either because I'm so excited about it. So it's
thiolized yeast Mosaic, I'm sorry citra mosaic and galaxy hops just loads and loads of this guava I don't know if you ever smelled fresh guava. Yes. No. Yeah, Monica is
Monica definitely off is delicious. Yes, you gotta get your nose in some of that Greg So I'm like, all right, you got to be kidding me with this much guava in this beer gotta be kidding I'm so excited. It's a joke, right then. I'm all like, all right, I guess we'll try it with the tongue jobber. Oh Daddy and I dabble into this beer And I go this build-up The Kool-Aid man is here burst through walls
Because there is just so much guava flavor just ripping out of this beer Like it is pouring and heaping everything guava and All I'm gonna do is fill up a bathtub with this beer and just live in it I don't even want to eat. I just want to stay in this bathtub and soak it in till I fucking die This is my favorite beer I've ever had on the show Wow big words Wow So and I didn't get into the specifics yet because I'm not excited so it's from four hands brewing
Okay, and they're located in st. Louis, Missouri It doesn't matter at this point not a big fan of Missouri Even lesser of a fan of st. Louis. Mm-hmm. Fuck the Cardinals And it's a wiser it's a collaboration with narrow gauge brewing. I Forgot to look up where they were from. I apologize narrow gauge near the train track, but this is a
Series of a beer. Okay, so this is volume one and they say it's the first part in a six-part series of collaborations with breweries From around the country to bring Voltron to life. How cool is that? I like that So it says volume one is a hazy IPA brewed with the narrow gauge. Oh, yeah, they're in Missouri as well for Missouri Says to impart tons of citrusy hop flavor and aroma without substantial upfront bitterness. We mash
hopped with Yeah, that's weird. We mash hopped with citra mosaic and carried out fermentation with omega yeasts Helio geyser the thylized yeast strain that delivers intense notes of guava bingo So the reason that four-pack is so inexpensive is because of the thylized yeast Okay, I can use less hops. Well That's great. I think they should do more of that then It says New Zealand solvent Blanc and stone fruit through a metabolic process called Biotransformation that's way more than I know
All I know is this beer kicks all the ass the thylized yeast kicks all the ass and the squava Couldn't kick any more ass. That's amazing. I'm so jealous. Yeah PSA I was really bummed out. I was gonna buy out the whole shelf. This was the only four-pack on the show You got one. Yeah, I was lucky but now I got to try and make it last
Don't I know you you'll have it for months and then you'll be sorry because it won't be fresh Just fucking drink it and enjoy it. All right, you're like my wife you in every time Mash hobby and that's like all the rage right now So, um, that's how you get files out of your or one of the ways you can get files out of your Out of your beer for thylized yeast. Okay. I just thought that was weird
Wording. Yeah Actually like putting hops in the mash pretty good. Yeah, and I use the other Omega thylized yeast Cosmic punch I've heard of that one that gives more of like the citrus stone fruit. Okay Yeah, no, not so much on the guava not so much, but I would love to try helioglazer now gazer glazer gazer Glazer is pretty It's like it uh What was that? What's that fucking American gladiators? It sounds like oh Yeah, one of the guys
Even you like helioglazer sounds like some ripped dude on steroids from the 80s It really does. I'm not gonna lie that actually kind of crossed my mind as And at the next event we have helioglazer versus Ted from Atlanta got a little hard while I was reading the description Just like this guy's jacked them. WWE. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, I don't watch that No, no nerds jabronis
So, what do you think helioglazer collab coming up let's make like a guava flavored hazy pale. Yes That's what I'm done. Sounds so good All right before I make my way right out there But we should call it something having to do with old Greg. Do you know old Greg from YouTube? No I just like that. My name is on X. I'm a narcissist. Okay, you need to watch those
Okay, but we should call it like have you ever drunk Bailey's out of a shoe? Which is something that old Greg said we should just do like one of his okay Like quotable things that he's said. Yeah, I'm down for that. He said have you ever drunk Bailey's out of his shoes? Yeah, I'm drinking Bailey's out of a glass. I only know like 2005 YouTube Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was 5 you was it I'm looking that up. None of us are hip or cool it up here
I'm gonna buy you some time Chew called in the homie to your beer called in with a voicemail. He tried out a new brewery Let's check in with you Hey, you'll so crappy Republic never fear to you beers here visited villains homie over the weekend So here's a quick thing went to monkish monkish is amazing. Like always unsung Nice spot if you love comic books and Star Wars Right next to the unsung there's a taqueria called gringos tacos tacos a gringo amazing spot if you ever in that area
I would suggest you go eat there. You can take your beer out from unsung and walk around the little plaza there's a winery and an attack area and unsung in the same building and there's a Communal tables in the center of everything also went to everywhere beer everything there was amazing When to go eat at the Anaheim packing house, it's in the center of everything so unsung's on the left
monkeys on the right and then villains is a block away and everywhere everywhere Brewing is like 10 minutes away. Anyway, so Went to go eat at fucking the Anaheim packing house. It's just like a food mall two-story stall Don't go there in the summer homie. So fucking hot and humid. My balls were in my socks So Let's talk about villains villains is like a restaurant homes you pull up you wait in line to get seated
How many in your party then you get seated? It's mainly all outdoors as trees leaves falling on your and your drinks. We went there for beer not for food But you feel like you're being forced to order off the menu. We were only there about 45 minutes. We ordered a
Kids meal cheeseburger and fries and we split it through the party just to shut them up So you are kind of forced to order food and the beer is like second though. The beer menu is very small Then they have a guest tap and then they have a wine selection Greg you that you've been to Malibu is Malibu the same way Do you feel like you're tortured to order food or are you left alone and you order at your own?
Discretion or your own free will of what you want Also got to meet up with Mike from the taproom podcast hung out with him all day out there So that was cool did a little beer review with the his with his equipment of unsung beer Had a cool time. We'd left the valley. The valley temperature was 105 I think and so we went out that way because it was 81 but high humidity because close to the water
anyways, there you go, Greg, hopefully you can answer that is Malibu Almost like BJ's like where you have to order food and the beer comes second. All right. No, that's it homies Take it easy and peace out. Eh, I Mean who doesn't love BJ's?

I really do and I did not like this, but it wasn't like atrocious I couldn't finish it. I don't know the first couple sips tasted like Sunny D
And then after that it just it was just kind of like orange, but to me it didn't taste like Sunny D It tasted like fake knockoff grocery store brand like yeah Concentrated powdered orange juice. Oh like Tang. Yeah that sort of but like not even the real Tang like, you know Albertsons brand Tang or whatever how many people who listen to this podcast know what Tang is?

My grandma used to buy that shit. Yeah, she listened to the podcast. No, she's dead Way to bring it down Yeah, I couldn't finish it I Think I'm if I had to drink one, I think I'd probably more excited for the Mountain Dew Yeah, I'm down for that. But honestly, I I just think why ruin Mountain Dew with alcohol Yeah, no one thinks because I really like Mountain Dew unpopular opinion mellow yellow over Mountain Dew really
Love me some fucking mellow yellow Wow Like junior high Mountain Dew was the jam. Yeah, and then I grew out of it and graduates dr Pepper and that's been with me ever since that is such a weird That is uh, I've always loved Mountain Dew. Yeah Yeah, like high school started drinking Mountain Dew love it. I mean the best terrible for you In high school. Oh, man. Yeah, my parents tried not to have me drink a lot of soda because I'm legit addicted to it So probably a good call on their part. Yeah
Or just made it worse later in life. You're like, oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think Mountain Dew I think of middle school Madden Mountain Dew. Yeah All we would do is like yeah Hang out at somebody's house play Madden till like 6 in the morning and go through like 212 packs of Mountain Dew Oh my gosh be wired and like guys ever munchies like remember the munchies like the of the snack mix
Yeah, the snack. Yes, so good didn't have bugles in or something. No, it did it was Pretzels Doritos Cheetos and Sun Chips. Oh, is that what it was? Oh, I thought it had bugles in it for like a hot minute Bugles is a totally different. Is it different ecosystem? Honestly 3d Doritos came back and those are just fucking bugles. I don't think I've ever had you to read I've never had a 3d Dorito. Yeah. Oh, no back in the 2000s. They were like puffed up
Doritos chips. These are just bugles Bugles are the shit any other bugles are I like the pizza ones. I've never even seen that like a garbage person Mountain Dew and pizza bugles Breakfast of champions. Yeah, my Classic bunions are so good back in the day is all about surge Now that I was addicted do you remember the 99 ounce can of surge? No. Oh my gosh
We used to ride our bikes down to like the local Walgreens and they would have these oil can they would come there like oil Can that's how they advertise them and there were 99 ounces of surge for 99 cents. Holy shit. Oh my gosh So we would run down there and fucking grab those and just go nuts on surge surge and warheads. That's what it was all about It's so much sugar Wow and I'm not diabetic. Hey, not yet
Give it time beat it. Yeah That's insane. I loved at the bottom if you got the bottle you could see the sugar sitting Yeah, really I never looked at that
Oh, yeah If you had like, you know Obviously can't see in a can but if you got one of like the one liter bottles from the store You could see the sugar sitting in it. Yeah. Yeah, it would settle you'd have to like get a little shaky shake There was a resurgence on surge. Yeah, like 10 years ago. No, it wasn't even 10 years ago. Was it it close to it?
I bought like they had them on Amazon for a week and I bought a case My wife would go like whenever she would go get gas that way bring me home surge Yeah, Amazon did like a re-release and you can only buy them as a flat So you had to buy like 24 of them. Did it taste the same it tasted the same? Turns out I can't handle that level of sugar anymore Like I had one and I was like, this is good for nostalgia But um, I had the one and that's all I need
I'm getting to the point where I cannot have normal Mountain Dew anymore. Oh, yeah, it's so bad I got only drink diet. Dr. Pepper if I drink it. Yeah, I drink zero. Yeah Yeah, when I used to back in the day when I was at McDonald's working McDonald's in high school I would mix like 50-50 diet and regular. Yes, that was perfect. We like a diet coke with a little splash of dr. Pepper Oh, that's super weird. Yeah, but I also was one of those suicide kids. Oh, it would be like
We called it swamp water My dad called it a suicide. I was gonna do it anytime you but it always tasted like dr Pepper to me if you mixed all really where's it? Yes. Oh, really? Which is why I'm thinking when you said you would do diet coke with a little bit of dr. Pepper I'm thinking wouldn't the dr. Pepper just take over? No, I didn't know diet. Dr. Pepper with a regular doctor
Well, yeah, you do what she says she would do it. I do diet coke with a splash of dr. Pepper in it it's just like just enough flavor and Sugar that it tricks my brain, right? Can I get rid of like the diet taste? Yeah. Yeah, exactly So not be related at all, but you know, yeah, yeah To try the Mountain Dew seltzer. Yes. Yeah, we don't have any around here anymore.
