Hey, we're the bearests. We're passionate about beer. I want to help you find the tastiest ones.

Each week, we try a bunch, tell you what we think, and crack a few jokes along the way.

Because drinking beer is fun, and a beer podcast should be too. Sometimes on this show, we share personal things.

And I think that a lot of it has to do with making other people feel okay about how maybe their lives turned out or how maybe something bad can be fine. You know, because life is a long thing and you just

have to deal with the little challenges sometimes as they come.

And I had an experience that was difficult for me and me sharing this, again, is to let other people know that they're not

alone if they've also had this experience.

Rubio, you've gone down this road before and overshared.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Okay.

I'm sure.

Part of this, I think, is me maybe trying to find my tribe.

Okay.

Oh, God. Did you find out you're related to Grant?

There's dozens of us that need our own calm out there.

There's dozens of us.

I'm sorry, I can't.

I'm having trouble keeping it together.
