Welcome back to another round of beers with Greg and Flex. Flex takes the captain’s chair again, armed with a milkshake IPA and lost movie quotes. Greg’s back with a story so anatomically correct it probably violates building codes. Meanwhile, Untappd jumps the shark by letting people rate sodas. Listener Nate keeps the poop beer saga alive with a ketchup-flavored saison nightmare, and somehow the guys end up debating pickles on burgers and the ethics of a 20% service charge on a 10-cent martini. And a drunk judge that gets caught with her pants down.

Beers We’re Drinking:

• Flex is drinking Mango Double Marbles from More Brewing Company — a milkshake-style double IPA with mango and vanilla.
• Greg is drinking Only What We Carry from Everywhere Beer Co. and Root + Branch — a hazy IPA hopped with Citra, Nelson, and Waimea.

Flex starts off sweating over his Untappd search while trying to keep the show on course, but Greg derails things immediately with the world’s most unfortunately designed hotel. The guys go full detective mode on Untappd’s soda ratings, proving once and for all that the app has truly lost it. Listener Nate drops another installment of the “poop beer” saga with some real burger vibes. And why is Maine so stingy about their beer?

Booze News:

• Great Divide opens a new taproom in Denver’s RiNo District.
• Molson Coors cuts 400 jobs before the holidays.
• Ballast Point shutters another location and lays off staff.
• And in Arizona, a judge gets drunk, loses her pants, and her job — in that order.
