Based in Orlando, Florida, Michael Flex and Michael T. Craft host the Craft Beer Republic, a weekly audio and video podcast that navigates the intersection of beverage culture and everyday life. Moving away from technical beer snobbery, the hosts utilize named segments like Florida Man Bingo and Beer Roulette to anchor their irreverent commentary. Their production includes interviews with industry figures such as Jan Chodkowski of Our Mutual Friend Brewing, as well as on-location taproom takeovers across the American Southeast. A recent win for the channel includes the launch of Their Sour IPA Comeback Tour, a series focusing on the resurgence of specific hop profiles and fermentation styles. By integrating parenting anecdotes with discussions on hop varieties like Superdelic, they established a dad-core perspective that serves the craft community. The pair advocates for the Low-Alcohol Session Revolution while maintaining a satirical focus on bizarre news, ensuring each episode balances technical industry insights with casual, comedic storytelling.
