See Y'all in 2025!
I wish we had a proper episode to wrap up 2024 with, but Todd and James are swamped right now and I've got nothing to offer on my own - yet. lol Kidding aside - THANK YOU SO MUCH for another fun-filled year. I can't believe the podcast, as an entity, is coming up on 10 years of existence. WILD. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas this year and I sincerely hope for nothing but the best for your 2025. We'll be back next week with a proper episode to kick off the new year. If you're listening to this on the 26th, I'd also live to invite you to hang out with me and my Pop over at YouTube.com/HomebrewHappyHour on Friday, December 27th, at 10am central for an episode of Brew Day Live. It's going to be fun! cheers, joshua
