In June of 2025, Brülosophy's Jordan Folks spent time answering Patron questions during our monthy live Q&A session, which is a reward Patrons of Brülosophy receive for supporting us. 

For the 14th installment of The Brü Club's AvgBrü series, members decided on a beer that's... not really a beer style at all - UK Pils - and 10 lucky members were selected to have their versions reviewed by the guys.
