After decades of bringing many of the best beers from all over the world to the American beer market, The Shelton Brothers are shutting down their operations. This week, for good or bad, we’re drinking beers they helped bring to the United States.

As we mentioned in episode 300, we are forwarding all of our donations from Patreon and PayPal for the month of June to Black Lives Matter causes. Below are a list of links related to Black Lives Matter.

Editor’s note: this last paragraph will just remain as-is for future posts until this lockdown is over.

We hope you’re safe. We know this sucks right now. We miss our friends and family, socializing, and even going for a run without having to wear a mask, but this is temporary and staying at home as much as possible, while also keeping our distance from others in public, is something we must all do. That being said, we live in a great time in history where we have a robust internet that allows us all to stay in contact, see each other’s faces, and even get together once a week for a virtual happy hour.

We’ll be recording episodes once a week from here out, which is actually pretty cool for those who normally can’t make it to our typical monthly recording sessions. We’ll be having guests on the show, trying new beers, and continuing to keep doing our thing the best we can. Thanks for sticking with us. We’ll get through this.

Now, on with the show!

BREW THE SHIT OUT OF IT.
WASH YOUR HANDS.
WEAR A MASK.
DON’T BE AN ASSHOLE.

Episode 280 – This week on the show, we’re kicking things off with a blind homebrew evaluation from 4B listener Kyle Wells, and then we’re diving into some excellent mead and cider from Anaheim, California’s Honey Pot Meadery.

Subscribe to The Four Brewers Podcast:

This week, we’re diving even deeper into the world of cider and even trying some mead by way of Honey Pot Meadery out of Anaheim, California. If you’re unfamiliar with both cider and mead, simply put, cider is made from fermented apple juice and mead is made from fermented honey. The cool thing about each is that the flavors and complexities change with the variety of apples used, in the case of ciders, and the flowers that the bees pollinated, in the case of mead. But, before we get into the cider and mead, we’re evaluating a homebrew from 4B listener, Kyle Wells. Spoiler: Kyle is really dialing in his home-brewed hazy—it’s really good!
