Cheers, and vacation beers! Flex is back from Disney World, and Beergirl Mel is hanging out with us. We’re talking about rating beers at festivals, finding old (like ancient) beers, getting beer deliveries, drunk airplane passengers, the Champagne of beers, and getting drunk on vacation!

-

Greg and Mel are drinking Harlem Queen, a collaboration IPA from Tin Barn Brewing and Harlem Hops. Flex is tight-lipped about his beer, Zozo Gungun from Oliphant Brewing.

-

Flex shares all about his phallic vacation at Disney World and all the beer research he was able to sneak in. Mel tells us the story of getting him in trouble by sending beer to his room. We all talk about getting too drunk at beer festivals and trying to rate beers along the way.

-

We have a new segment, The News Flight, a series of booze-related headlines. We discuss the barrel tax in Kentucky, Montauk Brewing coming to Citi Field, the Bruery closing their Washington DC shop, Cape May acquiring Flying Fish Brewing, cocktails to go in Massachusetts, buying booze on Sundays in Montana, getting NA beer on JetBlue flights, and double seltzers.

-

Founders Brewing closes its Detroit taproom. The Lost Abbey finds a new home for producing and tasting beer. Anheuser-Busch places two marketing execs on leave. A judge dismisses a deceptive labeling lawsuit against Molson Coors. Belgian customs destroy cases of Miller High Life for using “champagne” in their marketing. And another drunk airline passenger urinates on another passenger mid-flight.
