Hey folks, I hope that you and your loved ones all had a fantastic time bringing in 2017.

Time sure flies, and come May, we'll have been doing this with your help for five years.

Five years, and we haven't missed a single week.

That's incredible to me.

And as you know, making this show costs money, and we want to keep this ad free.

I mean, you don't want to hear another show trying to hawk stamps or mattresses to you.

You want to hear us talk about beer.

So please, if you can, consider supporting the show at patreon.com slash the beerists.

It's extremely important.

I can't stress that enough,

because without those donations, there's no show.

Every single Patreon pledge we get,

even the small ones,

make the world of difference to us.

And in return,

you're going to get access to over 20 hours

of bonus mini episodes

made exclusively as a thank you to those of you generous enough to get access to over 20 hours of bonus mini episodes made exclusively as a

donation out of about 14,000 listeners, which is just enough to keep the show afloat,

but not to do much else.
