Get ready for another hoppy episode of Craft Beer Republic! In this week's episode, we're joined by the fabulous Erica from NeckNosh, as we dive into the world of sour beer festivals, Utah’s hatred of fun, beer pokers, stolen beer, and the best Cold IPAs.

-

Kicking things off, Erica tantalizes our taste buds with Chance of Crowds, a hazy IPA from Alibi Ale Works, while Greg indulges in the juicy goodness of Ectogasm, a hazy from Drekker Brewing.

-

Flex tells us about his invite to a sour beer festival at Mobcraft, and we debate the best fruit for sour beers. We pitch more pretzel necklace ideas to Erica. Someone left us a glowing review on Apple Podcasts; we needed to share it! And why are the B52s so awful?! Also, Flex LOVES Sabro hops. 

-

Fontana Jim calls in to share his hatred of beer pokers. It turns out Erica owns multiple! Click here to see the video he is talking about.

-

We love to harp on Wisconsin for its weird laws surrounding underage drinking, but it turns out most states allow some form of teenage drinking. Are you in one of those states? In a real act of heroism, Fontana police recovered pallets of stolen beer. Constellation Brands beats Anheuser-Busch in a battle over the rights to Corona seltzer. Figueroa Mountain Brewing is releasing a non-alcoholic beer. And a list of the Best Cold IPAs.
