It is a great time to be a Buffalo sports fan! Congrats on surviving show week and finally getting that Seussical wrap-up behind you. Brian is off enjoying Disney, but you handled the solo mission perfectly—even with the "Sentencing Day" burp three minutes in!

Here are the streamlined show notes for your Acast feed, formatted exactly like the previous weeks to keep your listeners on track while the Sabres continue their deep run.

The Sabres have advanced to the second round for the first time in nearly two decades, and the Buffalo beer scene is rising to the occasion. This week, Scott (WNY Brews) flies solo to break down the playoff surge, the release of Warpath Lager, and a legendary revival happening this summer.
