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.

Season 4, Episode 35 – This week, we’re celebrating our third anniversary with some friends at The Rookery Alehouse and Grill!

It’s pretty awesome that we’ve been podcasting for three years. Some relationships don’t even last that long, and somehow, four dudes with different interests and personalities found common ground with their mutual love of beer and homebrewing.

This week, we’re coming at you live, in front of a studio audience, from The Rookery in downtown Pomona, California with some of our closest friends and family. This was our first live show in front of an audience and it was a blast. We played Bingo, gave away some prizes and free goodies, and even had a rad little bottle share.

It’s safe to say that we will definitely be doing this again for our next anniversary. Having the crowd in the same room with us while recording the show was a great experience, and I speak for all of the guys when I say that we have some of the loyalist and kindest fans out there. We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the listeners, and we thank you from the bottom of our mugs for allowing us to do this podcast. Cheers to everyone who listens to, supports, and promotes the show, and here’s to more fun-filled, beer drinking years of podcasting.

To The Rookery: thank you so much for the hospitality and for putting up with our shenanigans. You’ll always have a special place in Four Brewers history for hosting our very first live show and anniversary bottle share.

Cheers to all, and thanks for the good times.

BREW THE SHIT OUT OF IT.
