Stuck indoors for the foreseeable future is fine if you have ample supplies. Luckily, The Buffalo Beer League and WNY Brews are prepared. 

 We talked about everything and nothing for over 2 hours in a Zoom call best described as “letting off steam” 

Lamenting the loss of @GoodbarBFLO with @SwtchBldSqrrl & @markajowett for a @WNYBrews podcast tonight. We miss you @schmack1110 & @mrgoodbrad. Need tall boys and Chymes shots in our lives.

Look for more Mr. Goodbar talk on April 30th’s episode of WNY Brews

We discuss brewing at home, projects we’re working on, breweries we miss, and our concerns about the local beer scene through this pandemic. Any thoughts or comments you want to add can be emailed to Scott@WNYBrews.com or find The Buffalo Beer League at BuffaloBeerLeague.com and on Twitter and Facebook.
