Two IPAs Six Hours Ago

About this episode

Greg and Erica discuss craft beer experiences, including a Dodgers game and various IPAs, while touching on humorous anecdotes and listener stories.

Welcome in, craft beer sleuths. Greg checks out a new MLB park, survives a rain-soaked Dodgers game, and discovers that Lime scooters become a lot more fun after a few beers at Humble Sea on the wharf. Erica brings a hazy pale ale from Astoria and accidentally starts a long discussion about sea lions, Waymos, and whether pregaming ever actually saves anyone money. Meanwhile, a listener sends in an IPA horror story that tasted exactly like Band-Aids, an Idaho biologist gets arrested after claiming he only had “two IPAs,” and Florida produces another mayor story that somehow feels perfectly normal. Beers We’re Drinking: Greg and Greg are drinking Buoy Beer’s Hazy Pale Ale, a soft citrus and honeydew hazy crusher from Astoria. Flex is drinking Young Blood Beer Co.’s High Horse on a Soapbox, a pillowy hazy double IPA with muscat grape sweetness and melon-like fruit notes. Greg finally checks Oracle Park off the list, complete with rain sweeping across the field mid-game and a strategic pivot to banquet beers after the stadium’s craft selection disappointed him. Humble Sea on the wharf ended up being the highlight of the trip, followed by Greg discovering Lime scooters are much faster…
