It's our first ever sponsored episode, but don't worry, we're gonna keep it super duper cool and super duper light-winked.

Your journey back from the plane of air is instantaneous. With assurances from Knitten that she'll be able to hold the integrity of Eric Hawk till you get the sunstone from Merlock Nomes and Castle Darkmore, she opens a portal for you and you step...

Right into the main room of your bar, which strange is that you find it abandoned. The staff you hired are all there milling about and glumly wiping glasses, but there is not a single customer in the building.

What's the fucking mean in this?

Is there like a pandemic or something?

There's an orc who's sort of halfheartedly sweeping and he says, oh, hey boss, yeah, um, everyone stopped coming here since ammonium brewing opened up just down the street.

Oh, what's ammonium brewing?

I'm glad you asked, Dave the dragonborn, ammonium brewing is California's first and only cooperatively own brewery with just over 650 lifetime members.

They currently have 14 beers in their catalog, available seasonally and on rotation covering a wide variety of beard styles.

Nice.

And anyone in California can become a lifetime member slash owner for $150, either as a single payment or three payments of 50 bucks.

I'm probably gonna do that.

The partnership gets you wholesale pricing on beer, special events, including cake tapings and barbecues plus discounts on merchandise like t-shirts, pine classes, key chains and more.

You know a lot of details about that.

Oh fuck those guys.

We're gonna go over there right now and we're gonna murder them before you can say that blade bursts in the door.

He's wearing an ammonium t-shirt, by the way, and says, guys, guys, what are you waiting?

Gary heard you were back and he's already setting up for his new thing.

Is he the brewery? He better be the brewery.

You take that off right now.

You stupid stupid.

Yeah.
