Cocktails over beer every time. Our bartenders break down the Brewers series including the triumphant return of Willy Adames, the dominance of Logan Webb and the overpowering bat of ... checks notes ... Luis Matos! Then they discuss whether this spark from Matos is a sign he's finally putting it together or if it's just a flash in the pan.

Our new cocktail podcast, The Perfect Sip, is on hiatus but new episodes are in production. (Yeah, it's taking a long time ... life, you know?) If you haven't listened yet, you can catch up here: https://the-perfect-sip.captivate.fm/listen
