We all know that Matt is a huge fan of Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales, and for the most part, the rest of us are, too. So this week, Matt decided to pick up some newer beers from JP that he, nor the rest of us, have seen or tried before. The beers fit in perfectly with the season, so, props to Matt for planning that out so well… 😉

The Saison Showdown Bracket

There you have it folks! Congrats to Boulevard Brewing Co.!

There are three awesome individuals that helped us with this massive blind tasting; Sara Kidd, “Dr.” Zack Alexander, and Bob Vreeland. We couldn’t have done this show in such an orderly and swift manner without the help of these pillars of podcast production. Our gratitude is extended to them for all of time.
