Just One Beer Today, I Promise

Welcome in, everybody. It's the craft beer republic. Thanks for drinking. Thanks for joining. I'm Greg, and I am getting very romantic with my boy flex over there. We so sweet. Oh, look at you looking all cute tonight. Oh, shucks, you look cuter. Stop it. Oh, my gosh. You keep talking like that, you might get lucky. That's the goal. It's always the goal. If you're still here, thanks for joining us tonight. And if you've made it past that intro, follow us on the socials at craft beer.

Republican, of course, at Flexmeaber underscores in between.

We got some shits to get to tonight. Snoop Dogg has his own drink. Okay. People are drinking across Australia just, like. Gin and juice or something. Not this time. Laid back. Intrigued? Yeah. Ludicrous libation law and mucho, mucho moss. But before we get to that, I think it's time we answer early the most important question of the night. In a world where craft beer is king, a world where muscles are bigger than growlers, only

one tongue can guide us. One man, one tongue. One tongue jobber. In this world, we must find out what is flex drinking. Flex does a really good slow mo. That was pretty good, wasn't it? It was good. I wish people could see day one. Day when we video this on YouTube or something. Dumb. I got a face for radio. Nobody wants to see that. No. Wow. I do. It's glorious. So, beer. Today I am drinking beer. It's been a while. Wow. Been a while. Did not mean to say that.

I'm drinking Drecker Brewing company out of Fargo, North Dakota.

Yeah, I've heard of it. It is a collaboration with Zool Beer, who is out of Knoxville, Tennessee. Is you the only ten I see. Hey, I had a guy tell me that once. That's, like, the best compliment ever. Yeah. I was at Disney World. I was wearing a Tennessee shirt. I have no allegiance to Tennessee. Someone just bought it for me. And a guy goes, hey, Tennessee. And I was like, just a shirt. You're only ten. I see. I was like, what? Oh, thanks, bud. Then you got laid.

Yes. Nice. So this beer is called danger is our business. It is an IPA. It has pilsner malt, flaked oats, flaked wheat, carafoam. The hops are HBC, five, eight, six, because apparently that doesn't have a name yet. All right, Simcoe and Cashmere. And they used their own house IPA yeast. I do love that they always have the ingredients on their cans. That is fun. Just so you know. What's in here. Oh, simple enough. It's not that hard to put it on your can. Untapped calls this a New England hazy.

It is. And definitely hazy. Got a nice color to it on their can. Like I said, they do only call it an IPA, probably because they just really do brew a. Hey, this is a hazy. No, we just call it an IPA because they do mark their very rarely brewed west coast. Do they even have any westies over there? I think they got like two, maybe. Really long description here. Basically everything I just read about the hops and the malts and the oats and the carafomis.

It says the first whiff of this one is all peachy o's mango and ripe cantaloupe. And then once you go in for a drink, you'll taste notes of karakara orange and dark cherry. And it's all tied together with just the right amount of light bitterness. So we're going to put all that shit to the test because I love when breweries put in what you should be tasting. Yeah. And then let me know. Just see what you get. Yeah. And then only 500 check ins on this with a 406, so respectable rating. Absolutely.

Not a lot of check ins. Who knows? I don't even know if it's new. So on the schnaz, I'm supposed to be smelling peachios, which are just peach rings. Is that a peach ring? Yeah. Goddamn north coast peachios. Is that like a knockoff brand? That's what I'm thinking. I feel like I'm getting more of the mango cantaloupe. Tropical. Unless my nose is broken, maybe. I don't know. Definitely. I actually do smell the cantaloupe, which I think is bizarre when people put that on their description.

So bonus for that. Cantaloupe is one of those fun ones. I like it in an IPA, especially a westy samesies. All right, now we'll warm up the old tongue jobber here. Oh, here we go. Oh. That's why we needed to be a video show. Oddly enough, I get the cherry. That's pretty crazy. I don't know about. No. Yeah, that's pretty fucking good. Holy shit. Tell me how you really feel. Yeah. So I don't know if you know anything about karakara oranges. I do not. So they're like a pink flesh orange.

Know. So you open it up and it's like pinky orange on the inside. Like crossbred with a blood orange or something. I don't think so. Okay. It's supposed to be like a sweeter version of an orange, right? Instead of just a regular navel, I'd say that hits it here. Nice. I did take a couple of sips. Of this immediately as it poured out. And I was thinking, like, orange skin. Like it had that bitterness of orange skin. Not anymore. That's completely gone.

Just going to dive in real quick one more time. Don't deny us. Yeah, that's pretty fucking good. Holy shit. And it has, like, the perfect amount of carbonation. It's like light to medium bodied. I drank one can of this a couple of days ago, and I thought to myself, yeah, now I'm drinking it and I'm thinking, wow. This is actually. A really phenomenal beer. More like a. Wow. I really do wish I smelled the peachios on it. I know sabro hops usually gives you that huge, huge peach note.

This had no sabro, but still just. This is great. I'm really glad I had it tonight. Nice. Well, I'm glad you're enjoying. I was talking to you before the show. I said, what should I drink? And I even sighed and said, I guess I'll drink this. Great decision. Really great decision. Great success. My wife, I like. All right, well, cheers, man. Yeah, cheers. Well, speaking of ipas. Well, let me backtrack. Went to a concert over the weekend. What concert? The Eagles are in town.

Don't know how I feel about that. Not an Eagles fan. Not an Eagles fan. Okay. Is this an Eagles show? Not an eagle. Not an Eagles show. I am an Eagles fan from way back when. I mean, my very first CD player, that birthday, I got two cds. El Freeze is over and dukey. Very different. Okay. Very different. But, yeah, love me some eagles. I've seen them multiple times in concert, and they're calling this their long goodbye or whatever. What was that? Like, 94? It was 94. Good job. Wow. So not a fan.

Too countryish or. I don't know. People talk about hotel California being like one of the greatest songs ever written, and it just doesn't do it for me. I'd rather take, like, solo Don Henley over the boys of, you know, like, dirty laundry. Dirty laundry. Good. Yeah, great. Great stuff. I'll say that. I do enjoy me some hotel California, but not my favorite eagle song by a long shot. I really like some of their deep cuts. Okay. If anybody's out there carrying those shoes, great song.

Also some of their kind of pseudo hits. Witchy woman is good. They did a version of it at the concert that was very different. I very much enjoyed it. What else? Pretty maids, all in a row. Some of the Joe Walsh stuff. Good stuff. Anyways, I'll stop. It was a good show, obviously. No Glenn Fry, he passed a few years ago, but they sounded great for being a bunch of old fucks. I love when the old fuck song, Greg. They sounded great. I mean, Don Henley sounds like he's in his 30s still.

Like that guy. I don't know what he's drinking, what he's coating the old throat with, but it's working. The dick sauce, please cut that out. Put it on your burger. We were at the forum, the great Western Forum, the Kia Forum, whatever it's called. These days. They didn't really have any craft. I was drinking stone ipas all night.

I can tell you with great certainty I don't miss those. I was like, ooh, I'm going to need to brush my teeth after this. A funny story about big brands owning, like, craft beer. Yeah, I quote marks up. So I talk about the post work beers that I now frequently have. My go to is Sweetwater. Okay. And they came out with a gummies double ipa. And it's like teal can with all these gummy things on it. It's pretty good. I've not had it. And it's a nine and a half percent beer.

Okay. So it's going to get you there, and it's going to get you there quick. And I just had to get it off my chest that I think it's pretty good. And I think if you untap it, it's got like a three six or like a low three seven or something like that. Yeah. But out of. With those bigger craft beer companies, when they make ipas, it's usually pretty difficult to drink out of the can. Right. Most things are better poured out. Yeah. For sure. Opens up, the flavors come out, et cetera, et cetera.

This is pretty easy to drink out of the can, and especially at nine and a half percent. All right. And that's Tilray. Right? I believe that's who owns Sweetwater. Right? Who just bought shock top, among other brands. So it's like, I have to get this off my chest because it's fair. We always rip on them and we talk so much shit. And I can step in and say, hey, look, we got not the greatest offerings out of the beer cooler, like the singles cooler. Sure. And it's one of those big 19.2oz.

So it's a big boy at 9%. At nine and a half percent. And I tell you what, I've had that and I've had the voodoo Ranger a few times. And I will gladly take the Sweetwater gummies IPA over a new Belgium food arranger. All right. I've not tried it, but I'm willing to. And that leads me to a question for the listeners. If you guys are hanging out feeling like you want to move your thumbs a little bit, is there a now, for lack of a better term, corporate beer that still does it for you?

And don't come at me with some coors. I like a banquet beer. Fuck you. That's fucking water. It is. But I'm trying to think, like, what do I still like that's big besides. Flex muscles and stuff? I would do some new Belgium. They're still putting out some good stuff. Yeah, I mean, their stuff's not bad. Like the boot ranger or whatever, the juice shit that they come out with, it's not terrible and it's salvageable enough beer. And it's like, again, like nine and a half.

Nine to nine and a half percent or something like that. Yeah. So they're going to get you where you want to go. This Sweetwater, they came out with like a double hazy. Now it's like a red can. And again, it's like the gummies IPA or whatever. Haven't tried it yet, but you bet your ass I'm going to, brother, and I'm going to report back. I can't wait to find out. Yeah. I just really had to get that off my chest. Do you feel better? I do. I feel a lot better.

Almost every time after work I drink one. I'm just like, I don't know how Greg would feel about this. I don't know. It's sweet. Big. They got bought out. They're huge. It's huge. It's big beer. It's basically big beer. Yeah. I'm trying to think, like, what other now big. Because ballast point got shitty when they got bought out. Stone hasn't been that long enough. I don't think they've really changed much. I tell you. Don't miss that stone ipa.

Yeah. I've had a couple of new Belgiums since the buyout. They still taste the same. Still enjoy it. Some people might argue that Firestone's sort of bought out. That's a weird situation where they merged. Still Firestone. I don't know. Yeah. Good beer is good beer. You know what you think about it. You do some research and we'll reconvene. Yeah, let me drink about it. Yeah, I like that. Yeah. And if you guys are listening, please write in or DM or call or whatever. Let us know. What now?

Big beer you're still enjoying. Call yourself out. Let us shame you. You'll feel better about it. I guarantee you you will. I like your daily routine, though, of like, getting off work and having a beverage with the fellas. Yeah, it's like you put in a day of hard work, man. What better than just going into one of the back garages, three garages, by the way, behind my work. Just all for storage, right? Yeah, but there's the one that we hang out and drink in and play cards and. Yeah, it's great.

You could share war stories. You're with the guys who are in it. You go home and you quote unquote war stories, right? But you go home and you tell your wife what happened. It's like, I don't get it. I don't know what you. She hates it. Yeah, my wife do it. Oh, that. You drink after work. Right? I can see that. She actually asked me the other day, it was Friday, going into Saturday, and she's like, could you please just come home from work right away, tomorrow?

Because you came home really drunk on Christmas Eve.

And it was not good. I was like, shit. She noticed. I don't know what you're talking about. So I wasn't happy about it, right. But I obliged. Yeah, you got to give her one or two and then you're back into it. Right. And then that Sunday, I was going to do the same thing. Sunday, I was like, you know what? I'm going to make her happy. I'm not going to stay for a beer. I'm just going to go home after work. Ten minutes before closing, one of the guys comes up to me and just hands me a beer.

What are you supposed to do? What am I going to do? Take it home? Yeah, no, come on. Yeah, it's got to be drank. Yeah. And it was good, man. All nine and a half percent of it good, man. It's great. I would say the downside, but I guess I could do this. I said the downside to working from home mostly is like, no one's going to walk up and hand me a beer and say, like, hey, let's talk about our day. But also I could just take the long journey down the stairs and pick up my own beer.

So there is that. Do you not, you know, so, so rarely you would think that, like, oh, Greg's getting hammered

on the daily or at least every Friday or something. Really am not. There will be some days where it's been a fucking week or we got something done and it's like a fuck yeah. Situation. And 04:00 rolls around on a Friday, and I'm just mentally spent. And it's like, you know what? It's beer 30, baby. Let's do this. What about during the pandemic? Did you do it a lot then? No. In fact, the pandemic, we were busier than ever. That's crazy. We work with governments at my job. Okay, so not so crazy.

You're right. So the pandemic, there was no time for people during that. In fact, mid lockdown, I was out in the field more than ever. And it was only after that where I started to calm down and actually work from home and that kind of stuff. Okay. But, yeah. So nowadays, it'd be like, oh, we had a great week. I finished these projects. I mentally spent. It's 04:00 on a Friday. You know what? Cracking that bitch open. You deserve it. Yeah. But overall, extremely rare.

Okay. Surprisingly, the nice thing about having that big work beer, it's like that. Like I said, that 19 ouncer. I get home, all I need to do is one beer at home, and I'm good. Right? It's like having a beer in the parking lot at the baseball game. You slam one there. So you just have to keep it going. You don't need to catch it. Yes, it's great. And especially on that empty stomach after work. I'm telling you, that 19oz and nine and a half, it gets you where you want to go. I'll stand by it.

No, babe, I'm just having one beer tonight. Well, that's what she says. And it makes me laugh, right? Because in my head, I can't wait. She always claims that I drink so many beers after work, right? And I get so drunk after work, I say, I just have one beer. We all just have one beer. Except we're all drinking nine percenters and we haven't eaten tall boy. 11:00 a.m. And it's now 06:00 p.m.. Right? It's going to get you. It is going to get you, babe. I'm just drinking one. Said one.

Yeah, just for you. I told the guys, just one today.

Just one. That's all we're saying. Do it. Yeah. Win, like, $30 in blackjack. Let's go. Got to have a beer before I go Uber eats. Just one beer. Just one beer. All right. Oh, ludicrous libation law. Haven't had this in a while.

Kansas. Let's go to Kansas for this one have we ever been to Kansas? I don't know. I don't think so. Not that I've personally been there. I've certainly never been to Kansas. What did you do in Kansas? I was, like, 19 and a friend from school or so a friend I grew up with, he went to a school

in Indiana, where he met a girl who went to school in Indiana but was from. Oh. So one summer he went down to visit her in Kansas. And me and some buddies were like, yo, shit would be tight if we went and surprised him and did this whole party thing down in Kansas. So we went to Kansas. So here's the real question. Was shit tight? We were 19, okay? It happened. Shit could have been much tighter. But it also could have been looser. We got some Kansas City barbecue. All right.

We went to a Royals game, which they were mid renovation. They were doing the renovation with the big fountain. They have back. Whatever. I don't watch Royals games, but it. Was like a Royals Anaheim Angels game or something. That was kind of sounds awful. Went to some hookah bar in downtown Lawrence or something. Definitely sounds like some 19 year old. We got lost in the hood. Even worse, we got stopped at, like, a train crossing. And then we saw and it was like.

It was me, two other 19 year old white dudes, and we're in this really seedy area, get stopped at this train crossing. And we see these headlights pop up behind us. And then it's just pitch black, like ten at night. And they just keep getting bigger, and they keep getting bigger. And you're like, please, this train's got to fucking hurry up so we can get the fuck out of here. And before you know it, these headlights are, like, just blazing in the rearview mirror. Flick on the cherries.

And we're just like, fuck. This cop pulls up to the side of my buddy's car and was like, what are you guys doing? Like, I don't know. We're like, hey, we're from Wisconsin. We're visiting a buddy. We don't know where we're going. He goes, you shouldn't be here. And the hair in our arms just started standing up. And we're like, shit, sure, shit. Train passed. They actually escorted us out of the area. No shit.

And to where we needed to go because they were like, it is not good here, so get the fuck out. Wow. Yeah. So that was pretty neat. I was waiting for something worse. No, they went over and completed their drug deal, whatever. But that was like, as before. We got to these train tracks. We're driving through all these streets of this urban area and lots of gatherings of groups of people in multiple driveways and streets, and we had no idea what the fuck was going on.

Just pulled over like, hey, guys, can we hang out? Apparently not a good hair to be in Kantlin. All right. And the funny thing is, when I was younger and I used to travel places, this buddy's going to school here. This buddy lives here. And we'd go visit these people. My older brother would always watch cops. Like, loves that show to death. Huge cops fan. He'd be like, oh, yeah, I went to Indianapolis this weekend. He's like, dude, what are you doing in, you know, so and so lives? Know, so.

We went there. He's like, dude, every episode of cops, they're in Indianapolis. You can't go to the crime rate so high in Indianapolis. Why are you going to Indianapolis? So I told my brother, hey, we went to Kansas here. What are you doing in Kansas? They're on cops all the time in Kansas. You can't go there. Kansas is crazy. Okay. I guess before you travel anywhere, watch cops. The show cops will tell you where. To go and where not to go. Isn't that goofy? That is very goofy.

Well, good times in. Let's do this one. Kansas, right? Ludicrous libation law. Let's go. Bringing it back around. If you want to own a liquor store in Kansas, you got to jump through some hoops.

They have a lot of laws that are passed to protect economic, economic interests of the status quo. And this is an example of just one of those laws. In this case, it's designed to reduce competition from new liquor stores. So a retail liquor store licensee must have been a us citizen for ten years, be at least 21 years old, have been a resident of Kansas for four years, never been convicted of a felony or. This is my favorite. A crime of moral turpitude. What does that mean?

Or a liquor law violation. I looked it up and I'm still not sure what it means. It feels very vague and just like if you did something that they decide is a crime of moral turpitude, then you did. Yeah. Very, very weird. Very. Sounds pretty Kansas. Pretty Kansas. Sounds like they're just trying to keep people down. You must also not be in law Enforcement. Never have had a liquor store license revoked. And the licensee's spouse must meet all of the same qualifications. Come on.

Yeah, there you have it. And then you physically have to then jump through hoops. Right. And then they bend you over and they don't spit on it. Not a sex show, not with that attitude. So yeah, if you're looking to open up a liquor store, Kansas may not be the spot. Yeah, just saying, I don't think I'm. Ever going to go to Kansas again. Yeah, I think I'm done going to Kansas too. Never been. All right, before we talk about some news, let me talk about what I'm drinking about.

He calls to the bullpen for beer. I am drinking one of my favorites, literally, that's what it's called. It's pure project brewings, one of my favorites.

Well, at least they're one of your favorite breweries. That's true. It's six and a half percent, has a 4.12 on almost 500 ratings. Okay. They say one of my favorites is a new merch. This reminds me of our mutual friends brewing in Colorado. We went there when we're going to. Our mutual friends, oh, they're like, oh. They'Re going to friends? Yeah, sorry, tangent.

They say one of my favorites is a new murky ipa that features Nelson Sauvin and southern cross hops from New Zealand, along with citric cryo hops from the Pacific Northwest. This unique beer was created by substituting a portion of the base's unmalted wheat with chit malt. Chit, yeah, we know chit, a high protein, slightly under modified barley resulting in increased body and haze. Pretty fucking hazy, yeah. Or murky. Or murky.

Yeah. The fusion of our favorite hops and chit malt leads to aromas of dank lime zest, pineapple soft chew and strawberry on the palate. A complex and flavorful experience awaits with taste of mango overripe. Apricot, not apricot, it's apricot. Lime zest and blueberry. After you try this one, it might just become one of your favorites. Look at that, the schnaz. I am really picking up on the pineapple. That's where my schnaz goes. Okay, warm up my tongue, jaw. Do it, baby, do it. Backfire.

Not just me today, the taste really follows suit. I'm really getting some of that pineappley flavor. Like, not a real kind of like pineapple candy flavor. Some of the apricot, I don't get blueberry. Blueberry is a weird one. I'm not picking up any blueberry on that. I think that's a really difficult flavor to. Even if it's like you're drinking an overfruited sour and they put blueberry in it. Not an overpowering flavor.

Well, this has a bunch of like tropical and citrusy fruits, flavor wise in it. All of sudden, a blueberry. It's like I'm not picking up any fucking blueberry, you crazy fuck. So overall, a delicious beer. I mean, pure. If you're looking for a hazy. Excuse me. A murky. There you go. Pure is where it's at. You can't go wrong. And this is just another great example of it, so very delicious. Thank you. Pure. All right, let's do a little news before we head up on out of here. I do like news.

Do you now? Yeah. Let's news me. I'm going to news you, bad boy. News me so hard getting off on the news. Not a news show kind of is it? Definitely is. Yeah. Definitely. More than a sports show. A sex show. Not a sports show. Yeah, mostly not a sex show either. Snoop Dogg is bursting into the cannabis beverages with death row drink.

Okay. Yeah. Only sugs around too soon. Rip tupac. After a brief dabble in the RTD coffee business early this year, legendary rapper Weed advocate and rising CPG player Snoop Dogg is back with another beverage venture. This time he's teaming with Texas based Hill Beverage company to use iconic rap label Death Row Records as a way to enter the rapidly expanding world of cannabis beverages. Here's the flavor lineup of the so called do it fluid. The do it fluid. That's.

That's what he's calling it, the do fluid. Oh, it's not good. Yeah. Blood orange. So that's not the name though. The name of blood orange is called jeed up blue Raz the shiznit cherry limade. Lottie Dottie. Because come on, we like to potty and peaches in honeys, which is called pump. Pump. Come on. CBD exclusive 25 milligrams priced at 499 per twelve ounce can as well as CBD. Yeah, but there's also an eight ounce version that contains three milligrams the perfect flex amount of delta nine THC.

Okay, so there you go. Look out for your snoop drinks. So there's a CBD version and a THC version. And the THC version also has CBD in it. But yeah, there's a CBD only and then a THC and CBD version. I'm sure various states will not be able to pick up the THC. Any state to roll with like a Texas company, right? Yeah, it is a little weird. That's surprising. So I'm going to pick up some of that lottie dottie, see how it is. I hope they have it out here, somebody.

In fact, fun story went to the weed shop. Which. The one we go to. It's like the Apple store of weed. Okay. It is so fancy. It's weird. Is everybody wearing a matching outfit? Oh, yeah. They all wear the same shirts and very Apple store esque. But they get to accessorize. Yeah, they call it pieces of flair. Thank you. We bought our groceries, if you will, one time, and as we're about ready to leave, some guy goes, you mean if you will. You did.

Well, the guy goes, hey, you want a free prize since you spent $9 million? I was like, I mean, sure, give. Me a little something. You know, for the effort. Yeah, spit on it, maybe. And he hands us a can. And it was a can of, he goes, it's a snoop Dogg. It's not this, but it was a snoop Dogg. Weed soda. Okay. It tasted like absolute trash. Shit, right? It was so bad. Fucking horrible. But we got high. An australian duo drinks at 99 bars in one day.

No way. In a record breaking pub crawl, two friends from Sydney have broken the record for the most pubs visited in 24 hours after drinking in 99 different bars over the course of a day. Harry, oof Kuros and Jake Lliderton, both 26, smashed the previous record set last year by Heinrich de Villiers in South Africa, who visited 78 pubs. Loser. Harry and Jake attempted this record for two reasons.

To raise money for Ms Australia, a nonprofit organization dedicated to multiple sclerosis and to revitalize Sydney's nightlife, which they say has become decimated over the past decade by legislation changes and the Covid-19 pandemic. The pair began the record attempt at midnight to work around the opening and closing times of the city's bars. As soon as the clock hit twelve, they went full speed ahead into as many places as possible.

It didn't take too long for Harry to feel the effects of consuming so much liquid in such a short time span as he vomited just 2 hours into the attempt. Wow. Yeah. Luckily, after reassessing our game plan, I managed to pull it together and continue, he recalls. With most venues closed by 02:00 a.m. Harry and Jake found themselves walking great distances to find open pubs, as they were not allowed to use any form of private transportation, such as a taxi. By 05:00 a.m.

They were exhausted, so they rested in a park and then a cafe until 09:00 a.m. When some pubs began opening again. They continued on throughout the day with very little downtime, aiming to spend no more than 14 minutes going from one pub to the next. This accounted for ID checks, queuing up for drinks, consuming the drinks, and then walking to the next venue. There's no way they consumed a full drink.

By early evening, they'd surpassed the previous record of 78 pubs, so they decided to carry on until they reached 100. However, due to miscounting, they stopped at 99, incorrectly thinking it was their 100th pub. In total, they spent around 1500 australian dollars on drinks, which is about $990 us. And now they're getting sponsored or what? Yeah, pretty much. I read somewhere that one of the dudes, I think the dude that puked, started drinking water at every other pub.

So they just had to visit a. Pub and finish a drink, whether it was beer or not. I don't believe that. I think they should have to finish a beer. Even if it's a light beer. You can put down a fucking Amstel light. Are you taking, like, a sip of a drink and then heading on your way but like, to consume a full drink? No fucking way. Are you hitting 99 in 24 hours and consuming a full drink at each bar? Yeah. I don't believe it. Believe it. Even if.

Well, the one guy puke 2 hours in, but even if you do half. Of them, that's 50 alcoholic beverages in 24 hours. You would be fucking dead. It's true. I don't care how much you're vomiting, you would be fucking dead. Yeah. Well, I mean, I think they're switching off with water and stuff. Well, yeah, but like you said, after every other pub, he started doing water. Yeah. So he's doing, we'll say, 49 beers and 50 waters. That's still a lot of beer. In 24 hours. 24 hours. You know what?

Challenge accepted. No, I would try. Do it with, like a fucking bud light or something. No, right. Well, whatever. The lowest. You would do a modelo, but whatever. The lowest percentage beer you could get on tap is, I would try it and then probably die. Do they still do Miller 64 things? That's like 2.3%. I don't know. Is that a thing? Zima. Can we get a Zima? 64 calorie Miller product? Yeah. I mean, they still make it, though.

I can't remember if that was one of the beers that they discontinued with the highlight flight. R-I-P. Highlight flight. But remember the bud select? Like the bud 55? Yeah. I never had it, but I know what you're talking about. Yeah. 55 calories. Like 3% alcohol or something like that. Yeah. Maybe you could do that. Yeah. I mean, if they're still making one of those, I'd try it. 40 years in 24 hours.

No fucking way. Come on, flex. We got this. Two beers an hour, every hour of the day. Gets you at 48. It's not bad. Super light beers. Eat some shitty food along the way. But then you're filling up on food. Are you going to have room for drinks? Oh, don't you worry about that because. Are you doing 12oz or are you doing the full 16 ounce pint? Oh, that's a good question. Because then you have to take into consideration that's a lot of fluid ounces running through your body.

There's a lot of ounces, a lot of peeing. Let me tell you. A lot of fullness. A lot of fullness. Don't break that seal. I don't know. I'd try it. I wouldn't. I would die. Come on, we got this. I'm pretty sure I would die. You might be able to this. We got this. Hopefully talk. Chew into it. Oh, you know, chew would do it. Chew onto it. Come on, homie, let's do this. Just find a super light beer. Yeah, we need stay up for 24 hours, record it all.

We need to find an area that's got enough bars, that's got enough of insert shitty light beer here. I don't even care about the bars aspect. I just want somebody to drink 48 beers. Yeah. I don't even have to leave the. Bar in 24 hours. To me, that's crazy. So just two beers an hour, but. Then not sleeping for. I don't know, am I blowing this out of proportion? Maybe. I don't know. Am I underestimating the talent that it takes to do this? Maybe. Am I? I don't know. I just feel like.

No, that's a lot. It sounds fun to me. I know guys that can throw down like 30 packs in a night. Oof. So there you go. 30 pack in a night. Oof. Right. And you're getting fucked up. You're probably puking, you're blacking out for certain. So then add on 18 more beers to that. Yeah, but when you say a night that's like in 6 hours, that's five beers an hour. So you think spreading it out through 24 hours is going to be okay? It's going to be better than not. I'm still thinking it does not end well.

It's probably not going to end well, but I'm going to die trying. Strap up liver. We're going to fucking do this. Oh, man. Shannon. I believe in us. Yeah, I know. She's a saint. I believe in us. Good lord, help me with this baraboo. Yes. All right. A baraboo man sentenced to 13 years in prison for trying to blow up a bar.

Okay. In Madison, a baraboo man will spend the next 13 years in a state prison for trying to blow up a bar in Linden station last year. A judge handed down the sentence on Friday in Juneau county court. Heath. Oh, this guy is from Europe. Heath Fiordin was found guilty of arson of a building with intent to defraud, a class C felony. In a plea deal, all of their charges were dropped, and a jury trial scheduled for next month won't happen. Oh, he can't own a liquor store in Kansas. He's fucked.

Authorities say that around 01:30 a.m. On September 1.

Jared. It set off an explosion in the basement of the bar, as well as a rag soaked with gasoline. Investigators say they also found bloody handprints that appeared to have been left by the arsonist. They found a wig they believe could have been used to disguise the person responsible for the explosion. According to the criminal complaint, employees at the bar were concerned that furden may do something to the bar. The complaint alleges.

On August 31, the day before the explosion, fire chief Troy Madlin contacted police chief Jeremy Bonikowski. Yes. Sounds like a Wisconsin polish chief. Madlin said he received a complaint about the possibility of Puritan burning down the. Burning down the building. The criminal complaint says authorities found purity around 04:00 p.m. On September 1 in german town township. He had suffered considerable burns to his hands, arms, backs, back, legs, and face.

Now, I'm no detective, but that probably explains the bloody handprints. It might just. Maybe. The burns on his hands and arms appeared to be the worst, as he had skin falling off. Oh. Fierdin denied being. Not a good look. Not a good look. Let me use my good hand. Fierdin denied being involved in the explosion and told authorities his injuries came from a grill fire at his home, according to the complaint. It just doesn't sound like he had a good plan. You know what? You're not wrong.

The wig and the bloody, like. I don't know if you're planning on blowing someplace up. Wouldn't the step one of the plan be, like, not be there when it blows up? Yeah, that feels like the best. It sounds like he physically caused the explosion due to the skin falling off his arms. Right. He's flammable at this point, right? And a wig. Come on, wear a hat, man. Means he had to go to a wig store. And buy a wig for this shitty plan. That's another paper trail. God dang it.

Pure. It really needs to step up his game. Sure this didn't happen in Florida? That's crazy. Maybe he's from Florida originally. Not with a name like that. Yeah. Jared. Oh, dear. It's probably swedish. Yeah, maybe he's a chef. We'll end it on this one. Drizzly's 2024 trend predictions is this.

They're going to go for beers. Have you ever used drizzly? No. Do you know anybody that has? No, I don't. Okay, nerd. So here's my thought process on, like, if you're going to drink, which I am, you plan on

drinking, right? You're going to have people over or, I don't know, you're setting up for the weekend. I've never met somebody that's like, oh shit, I forgot to get all of my alcohol. Better call drizzly. Here's the closest we've ever been to calling drizzly. We were hanging out at Coley's house and it was like a Sunday morning. We were brunching and we were a little under prepared with the champagne and we got a nice buzz going, like, fuck, we can really use more champagne.

And we went back and forth. Should we call do a little drizzly? Like no one had ever done it. In the end, we just switched to beer. We did not go with more champagne. You had it there, right? Yeah, we had beer. We were low on alcohol. We were just low on champagne. Just go to the beer. Yeah. So honestly, I don't know anybody that's used it. If anybody out there has experience with drizzly, let us know how it was, because never done it. I guess it's probably like uber eats.

Sure. It's the same people that remove their tip, those motherfuckers. Coming for you, the drizzly circumcisers. Keeping it clean. Oh, yes, very clean. Very clean. Very steer. All right, so here are their trend predictions for 24. Beer was the number one beverage that respondents plan to continue to purchase this year, with 68% planning to buy from the category, up from 67% in 2023, they wrote.

This is a potential reversal of the five year trend on drizzly, where beer share has been on the decline, dropping from 18% share of total sales in 2019% to 14% in 2023. Light lager is expected to lead growth for this category with 43% of consumers planning to drink lager more than any other beer segment, up from 38% in 2023. Seasonal beer was the second most popular at 35%. Stouts are also expected to see gains, with the amount of consumers expected to buy the style up from 12% to now 15%.

Despite beer's overall share gains, trends were already starting to look up at the end of 23, with quote unquote core beer increasing its share of total drizzly sales from 11.8% in October to twelve in December. Okay, 0.2%. Hey, look out. Other 2024 trends to expect on drizzly include continued growth for tequila, particularly premium products. Consumers trying different ready to drink cocktail brands as the number of RTD products on drizzly has increased 47% in 2023.

Continued growth for nonalcoholic beverages. Boo. With more emphasis on mocktails and less concern over inflationary pressure when buying. It's getting too dry in here. Yeah, we got to keep it slobbery wet.

Grossest thing ever. It was already moist. Now it's slobbery wet. It's such a gross term. So gross. We're going to lose that sponsorship, aren't we? We should probably do ourselves a favor and wrap this up before we lose any more sponsors. We should call it quits. Yeah. It's been nice knowing everybody. Yeah, it was good. Well lasted. Hey, buddy.
