What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Great beer podcast, always funny, and you can tell how much they love the craft beer industry

The one and only BHK · Nov 2025

Craft Beer Republic is the craft beer companion I didn’t know I needed! It’s well-rounded, wildly entertaining, and smoother than a fresh-pulled pint. This beer podcast blends random humor, solid beer reviews, pertinent industry news, oddball facts, and just enough chaos to keep me laughing out loud while learning something new. If you like your craft beer content with personality, wit, and the occasional “did-they-just-say-that?” moment, this is the one. Cheers to my favorite crew for keeping every episode crisp, clever, and crushable. 🍻

Beer Babe Ann · Nov 2025

I look forward to this show every week. Craft Beer Republic has become one of my favorite beer podcasts because it hits the perfect mix of real beer knowledge and genuine laughs. Greg and Flex know their craft beer, but they explain things in a way that makes you feel included even if you aren't a beer expert. The rotating guest hosts always bring something new, and the production quality is way better than most craft beer podcasts out there. It’s fun, it’s laid-back, and it feels like hanging out with friends who love good beer. If you're looking for a great craft beer podcast or just a beer podcast that doesn’t take itself too seriously, I can’t recommend this one enough.

Unfiltered Greg · Nov 2025

the unfiltered gentlemen was the first podcast i had ever listened to. right off the bat i was hooked. their bantering and hilarious trash talk keeps me laughing and makes my car rides go by quickly. i also appreciate their up to date knowledge of beer and the brewing industry. i love the beer babe of the week segment and i think it’s so cool they have friends call in and do beer reviews. also, shannon, when she is a guest on the show, wowza, she has an amazing voice. thanks gents, cheers to sticking around for forever!!!!!
