RIP Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna Bryant.  There is a short moment of silence in the beginning to honor their memory. Legends Live Forever. This episode was planned to be fun and light hearted, however, we were informed the unfortunate news of Kobe Bryant passing right before our recording. We have to thank Ale Sharpton for kicking it with us on this suddenly somber occasion and some good people at The Beverly for informing us.

Some of Ale's current media outlets include Thrillist.com, Southern Craft Beer Magazine, Craft Beer Magazine, Upscale, and Ebony to name a few. The Kobe Bryant news was developing during this episode’s recording, so please excuse any misinformation. This is the perfect episode for non-beer drinkers who are destined to become converted.

We discuss Kobe’s legacy, Ale’s collaboration with New Belgium and creation of his Piano Keys Imperial Stout, beer festivals, the little-known origins of beer, and more.
