Batch 368: Cheers from the taproom! Mike, the host of The Taproom Podcast, stops in to crack a brewski with Flex and Greg. We’re talking about brewery road trips, being the guinea pigs for major breweries, drinking crap beer when it’s hot out, spiked Dunkin’ sugar bombs, and the big news from Anheuser-Busch.

-

Flex is sipping on Apiary Drip, a honey IPA from Modist Brewing and Dangerous Man Brewing Company. Greg is drinking Everywhere Beer Co.'s All Green Lights. And Mike is researching All About The Brick from 8Bit Brewing.

-

Mikey spills the beans on his podcast and the new format, and the crew talks a little shop. Greg talks about his birthday weekend, all the breweries he stopped in for a bit of research, and the awful concert beers. The crew starts talking about favorite beers, least favorites, and being the guinea pig for Firestone’s crazy expensive Brewmaster’s club. 

-

Chew Your Beer calls in to support Flex for his love of Tecate. If a beer needs lime and salt, is it really that good?

-

Anheuser-Busch cuts around 2% of their US workforce and then sells eight major “craft” brands to Tilray. Anchor’s union claims that Sapporo is not cooperating and won’t turn over any financials. And Dunkin’ Donuts is coming out with a line of spiked drinks. 

-

We wrap it up with Mikey asking the guys a few questions about beer, the podcast, and the best-drunk food.
