Hey everybody, one quick thing before we get started, and I want you to pay attention because this is important to me.

We've stayed listeners supported since the beginning.

We're 100% independent and ad-free, and I would not have it any other way.

Thank you so much for all of your support at patreon.com slash the beerists. If you haven't done that,

do that now. It's very important. There's this whole COVID-19 thing. It's the reason people are

staying indoors. It's the reason me and the gang are all recording from our own houses. It's

scary. It's terrible. Things are just going haywire everywhere. And not a single person is

unaffected by this. There are a bunch of breweries out there that we really, really love that might not

be around after this is over. And that got me thinking, what can I do to help out a little bit?

And I landed on this.

I'm going to start running ads.

But before you think, hey, wait a minute, you promised us no ads.

Yeah, yeah, I know, but things are a little bit different right now and I need you to hear

me out.

I'm not going to be selling ads.

I'm going to give away 30 second ad spots for small, independent breweries out

there continuing to support their communities by offering beer to go during this COVID-19 thing.

They're one of the reasons that we're staying sane and they're putting their necks out there

so that you can still have beer while you're stuck at home for who

knows how long.

So yeah, I'm not going to accept any money for these ads, but what I want you to do is if

you have a brewery out there that wants to run a 30-second ad here on our show, I want you
