Crack open a cold one and pull up a seat—this week, Greg and Flex are back with another round of laughs, mystery, and beer-fueled adventures! In this episode, we dive into tales of questionable beer ratings, Flex’s joy over the triumphant return of Miller High Life Light, and the mystery behind an unexpected jar of jelly that showed up at Greg’s door. Plus, Flex reveals why having a craft beer-loving pilot as a friend might be the ultimate beer perk and the sad news coming to Wisconsin.

Beers We're Drinking:

• Greg: Just Haze, Baby by Four Legs Brewing – even the questionable can art couldn’t ruin this pillowy, citrus dream.
• Flex: Konky Dong 4UP Evolution by Hoof Hearted Brewing – Flex cracks open this triple IPA that is full of algorithm approved flavor.

America, we’re disappointed in you—you had the chance to vote in Flex and Greg for 2024, and you didn’t! Greg shares stories from his family road trip and the stash of beer he managed to smuggle back home. After the grape jelly talk with Erica in Batch 431, a mysterious jar showed up at Greg’s door—who’s the culprit?! Flex had an epic day treating himself and introduces us to his new pilot friend, a top-tier beer mule. Turns out, pilots might be the ultimate beer lovers. And it turns out were’ both two peas in a pod when it comes to watching movies.
