The goal is to have the new shirts and perhaps some other neat stuff ready for sale by March. Our plan is to start by selling a couple of our most popular t-shirt designs as well as one new badass design, after which we’ll move to other cool products.

Head over to the Brülosophy Patreon page now to check all the rewards you can get for helping us out! Brülosophy Merchandise at Yakima Valley Hopsīack in September, the rad folks from everyone’s favorite hop shop offered to partner with Brülosophy so that we could offer more stuff to more people more consistently. Patrons at other pledge levels can receive never-before-published Brülosophy recipes, unique monthly discounts at Yakima Valley Hops, and private consultation with a Brülosophy contributor. Charlie Bamforth, Scott Janish, as well as experts in the fields of yeast, malt, and hops. The list of upcoming guests is pretty sweet– John Palmer, Gordon Strong, Dr. In addition to being a wealth of knowledge when it comes to New England IPA and sour beer, Michael is currently in the process of opening his own brewery called Sapwood Cellars with fellow blogger Scott Janish, who will be on at a later date. In a couple weeks, supporters who pledge just $3 per month get to participate in a live Q & A session with The Mad Fermentationist and American Sour Beers author, Michael Tonsmeire. While financial support is necessary for us to continue producing content at this rate, I feel like those who appreciate what we’re doing enough to throw some cash our way ought to receive something in return, which is what Patreon has allowed us to do. I also really like doing this Brülosophy thing, which comes at no small expense.

I’m big on experience– one life to live and all that jazz. However, there is apparently another program that some competitions use that allows for more control, so registrants can designate a club on a per beer basis. Unfortunately, this happens to be the case for the National Homebrew Competition. Something we recently learned is that certain competitions use a program that attaches one’s club to their login, which means all beers entered are done so under a single club. You can also join The Brü Club Facebook group. Membership is totally free and open to anyone who is interested, head over to The Brü Club website for more details and to become a member. Members are encouraged to test conventional brewing methods, share their results and experiences in the club forum, and compete with beers brewed using short & shoddy methods. What started as an idea a few months ago is now a legit thing– The Brü Club is open for membership! Started and managed by a dedicated group of independent homebrewers, the intent of the club is to provide yet another community centered around education via exploration and experimentation. We’ve been fortunate enough to work only with folks we truly believe offer a value to homebrewers, so if you like what the show is about, let them know. With as much time and effort as producing the podcast takes, there seriously is no way we’d be able to keep up without the support of our listeners and incredible sponsors.

Our stats are booming, people are listening and leaving great reviews, and we even broke the top 10 ranked shows for the Games & Hobby category at one point! It’s been a hell of a ride so far, no doubt, and while it’s keeping all of us very busy, I’m pleased with how things are going.
