We were debating if we would release this or not but since you need something to keep you busy until we release the Beer on the Bay show (event is this weekend and tickets are still available!) here you go. It’s a rough take of us hanging out after the show with homebrews sent to us from our good friend BuBBy at Brain Gravy.

As for the winner of the contest, we’ve been asked to keep it hush until we release the show. You’ll hear why when he tells us at the fest. It brought a tear to our eyes reading the email… or not and we’re just full of it.

cheers!
