Welcome in, country road travelers! This week on Craft Beer Republic, Flex, the Louisville Chugger, is back from his road trip all over the east-ish part of the south. He’s got tales of missed opportunities, life-changing beers, and kids riding ponies. Greg is currently on a road trip and is drinking local to pass the time. Hulk Hogan is being sued over his beer, breweries are closing up shop, and a driver in California is really drinking on the go!
Beers We’re Drinking:
- Greg visits the local bottle shop and picks up Recursion IPA from Bottle Logic Brewing in Anaheim.
- Flex picks up what he thinks is the best beer ever; Bootsy Brewski from Fretboard Brewing.
Flex tells us all about his road trip. He survived the family road trip through Ohio and Kentucky without having to hurt anyone, good for him! He kicked things off in Cincinnati with a meal so good he couldn’t stand up afterwards. And the beer he had was life changing… but could he ever find it again? Then he ended up at Jungle Jim’s grocery store with world class bathrooms and beers you can drink while you shop. He then jumped over to Kentucky for some horse riding, no bourbon tasting, and a mortgage payment worth of souvenirs at Buc-ee’s.
In the News Flight: Silver City Brewing is sold, Urban Chestnut acquires O’Fallon Beer brands, and Denver’s TRVE Brewing is closing down.
In Booze News:
- Hulk Hogan’s Real American Beer is being sued again.
- A California driver got pulled over with a few too many roadies in the car.
