Craft Beer Republic

Grab a pint and pull up a seat, because this episode is a straight-up hangout. Greg and Flex are talking Memorial Day misadventures, from Flex dominating the annual backyard game of HORSE (while drinking, of course) to Greg accidentally attending a fired coworker’s awkward wedding reception-only party. There’s sangria, journey cover bands, Uber pukers, meth pants (yes, really), and a whole lot of laughs. This one is packe...

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.

Erica makes her triumphant return as the crew dives into hazy beers, questionable flavors, and whether bingo at breweries is a bold move or a buzzkill. Greg picks apart a beer with a wall of hops, Flex describes his beer like it came from a pharmacy, and Erica tries to survive a co-ed volleyball league full of 20-something savages. And Sacramento as a beer destination? Doubt it. It’s good to be back.
