Have Your Way with a Beer

Who’s ready to join Flex’s beer guild? Steph stops by to hang out and share one of her favorite beers of all time. Flex just got back from a baseball game and Greg had a fight with his Uber driver over some teams. We’ve also got beer fertilizer, a dumb baseball-beer challenge, and a new gross beer origin story.

Beers We’re Drinking:

1. Greg is drinking Row 2 Hill 56 Pale Ale from Russian River, a clean, crushable Simcoe pale.
2. Steph is drinking Secale from Red Rock Brewing, a rye barrel-aged doppelbock, rich and whiskey-forward.

Flex kicks things off by unofficially launching his beer guild, complete with membership rules and it’s first member. Greg shares a rideshare that turns into a full Dodgers vs Giants argument with a driver who won’t stop talking, which explains why he’s fully out on small talk. Steph drops back in like she never left and ends up in the middle of a real debate about Idaho’s beer scene before things drift into long-term goldfish survival, backyard memorial plans, and how a $10 fair prize somehow became a permanent responsibility.
