Hey gang, a couple of things before we get started.

Our seventh anniversary is coming up and we want you to celebrate with us in Austin, Texas on May 24th, 25th, and 26th.

That's Memorial Day weekend, so it should be an easier weekend to travel.

We'll be visiting some incredible breweries, eating some great food, and we'll also be having a bottle

share on that Sunday. I've put up some information on our website at thebearists.com

slash 7, including a loose schedule, some travel tips, and a link to a private Facebook group

so you can organize your trip with other listeners. It's going to be a huge amount of fun,

and we really can't wait to meet all of you.

Oh, yeah, and Anastasia is going to be there, too.

She's still moving away and leaving the show real soon,

but she's going to be flying back into Austin

to celebrate our seventh anniversary with us that weekend.

So don't miss your chance to say goodbye to her.

Again, go to thebearists.com slash seven.

Also, I've just started doing this thing where I send out these personalized thank you videos

to all new Patreon patrons.

When you support us on Patreon, you're doing your part to keep the show alive and ad-free.

And as usual, different tiers of support will get you different rewards as a thanks.

Like weekly mini episodes, early access to new episodes, stickers, tasting glasses, nighthoods, special toasts, and even a 20-minute one-on-one Skype chat with yours truly.

And now, I've got the power to thank every new Patreon supporter personally with a quick video.

So don't wait, go now and support us on patreon.com slash the beerists and get in on that action.

And yeah, I'm fully clothed in the video,
