Hey everybody you're listening to the Brullosophy podcast I'm your host

Marshall Schott and today's show is a little bit different than usual. You see

Bruosophy both this podcast as well as the website could not exist if it weren't

for the fine folks who appreciate what we do enough to help us out a little bit,

and we have a bunch of really simple ways to do so, one of which allows us to offer rewards to those

who pledge a small monthly contribution.

Patreon is a really neat platform that we've been using for the last couple of years. contribution. we've never shared publicly, unique discounts to Yakima Valley Hopps.

In fact, patrons this month received $6.99 off of each pound of 2018 whole-cone hops they purchased.

Pretty good deal if you ask me. And perhaps our most popular reward, which comes

with a three dollar monthly commitment, is an invite to a monthly live Q&A session with somebody in the

brewing world. So far we've had some killer guests on John Palmer, Michael Tonsmeyer,

Scott Janish, Gordon Strong, and we've got some more killer guests coming up. Seth Clon

from Mecca Great Estate Malt, Vinny Chilurzo from Russian River Brewing Company,

and Dr. Charlie Bamforth from the

UC Davis Brewing Program are all scheduled. Last month the guest was

Brullosophy's most experienced brewer and highest-ranked B. J. C. P. P.

Judge, my friend Malcolm Fraser, whose knowledge of brewing is very very highest ranked B. J. C. P. J. C. P. P. P. P. M.

Whose knowledge of brewing is very, very deep.

I get quite a few emails asking about this particular reward,

so I thought it'd be cool to share Malcolm's session with the rest of our

listeners to give an idea of how they go.

So that's what this episode is going to be all about.
