All right, all right, and welcome to Don't Drink Beer Presents,

Smalt Couture, World's Jankiest Beer podcast.

This is batch number 246.

No one's with me up in the mix.

That's right.

It's back-to-back solo Stephen episodes.

Don't worry.

I'm not going to be the only voice you hear on this batch.

We do have an amazing Maltseate interview with the founder of the underground-ish

bottle share slash beer festival event woodshop, and he's also the gatekeeper of the

stone fruit treasure from the Masumoto Family Farm Empire.

We have Chris Karuga tonight today, right now-ish, during the podcast.

But his interviews later today, all you old-school beer nerds probably know him, all you new money pallets out there, you're going nerds probably know him.

All you new money pallets out there, you're going to get to know him.

It's a really fun interview with a lot of stories about just, yeah, what it's like coming up in the beer world over the last 15 years.

Also, you're going to hear from old DDB himself, Alex Kidd.

He's got an update about his treatment, a very good update, positive update. And he's also going to be bringing the beer

news. So he's going to be the only one. You're not going to have to sit through me trying to

break down any beer news this time. I'll leave it to the experts. I choose to leave it to the

experts this episode. Because, you know, I could leave it to the experts. I choose to leave it to the experts this episode.

Because, you know, I could totally, I could totally handle the beer news myself. Obviously,

I mean, why else, why else would I be recording right now? Not because we have a release schedule that maybe we're a little behind right now. Anyways, this episode is sponsored by our friends at Cellermaker.
