The Most Overrated Beer Style

About this episode

The episode discusses overrated beer styles, particularly IPAs, and features various beer reviews and sports-related anecdotes.

Your favorite craft beer podcast is back! This week we’re talking overrated beer styles and why IPAs caught stray bullets, a Milwaukee extra pale ale that Steve absolutely misunderstood, Olympic athletes apparently doing cardio after hours, Corona owning the Olympic taps, a ballplayer sneaking beer into the dugout, and more brewery shakeups than anyone wants to see. It’s craft beer, sports-ish, and Florida doing Florida things. Beers We’re Drinking: Flex is drinking Strata Pictor Pop from Amorphic Beer , a 4.5% extra pale ale with berry-forward hops, crisp floral finish, and clean sessionable vibes. Greg is drinking Planetary Alignment from Pure Project Brewing, a 6.7% murky IPA with pineapple, mango, and soft tropical haze. Greg throws a simple question out into the internet and accidentally starts an IPA civil war, while Flex goes to war with a guy named Steve who ordered a beer, described it perfectly, and still complained about it. The two debate overrated versus underrated craft beer styles, land on red ales and gose as forgotten heroes, and immediately turn into old men yelling about fruit puree. From there it’s on to the Olympic Village: rumors, future super-athletes…
