Subscribe to The Four Brewers Podcast!

This week, we’re showcasing Beer Advocate’s 2021 Extreme Beer Fest! We first got to experience this festival in-person a couple of years ago, and it was so, so awesome (!!!). This year, things are different and beer festivals are just simply not a thing. Beer Advocate, Dogfish Head Brewery, and Half Time pulled of an interesting and fun virtual experience with great beers shipped to participants with fun online interviews with the organizers and participating breweries.

As we mentioned in episode 300, we are forwarding all of our donations from Patreon and PayPal for the month of June to Black Lives Matter causes. Below are a list of links related to Black Lives Matter.

Editor’s note: this last paragraph will just remain as-is for future posts until this lockdown is over.

We hope you’re safe. We know this sucks right now. We miss our friends and family, socializing, and even going for a run without having to wear a mask, but this is temporary and staying at home as much as possible, while also keeping our distance from others in public, is something we must all do. That being said, we live in a great time in history where we have a robust internet that allows us all to stay in contact, see each other’s faces, and even get together once a week for a virtual happy hour.

We’ll be recording episodes once a week from here out, which is actually pretty cool for those who normally can’t make it to our typical monthly recording sessions. We’ll be having guests on the show, trying new beers, and continuing to keep doing our thing the best we can. Thanks for sticking with us. We’ll get through this.

Consider supporting these local brewery’s efforts to feed those who are furloughed and in need of a meal:

Now, on with the show!

BREW THE SHIT OUT OF IT.
WASH YOUR HANDS.
WEAR A MASK.
DON’T BE AN ASSHOLE.
