Friends, our editors are undergoing annual maintenance. Thanks for your patience.

December 28, 2020CBB Editorial Staff

Chris Crowell and Keith Gribbins (original prototype models pictured)

It’s that time of year again, where for a week we pause. We pull that giant lever, push that big red button and some guy (usually Jerry) says, shut’er down. A bunch of steam shoots out, and the content mill of CBB grinds to a halt. Its two main word processors, Chris Crowell and Keith Gribbins, will be taken in for their annual brain maintenance. These are older models, a little glitchy, so we’ll probably need a complete reman (extra arms, better neural processors, cooler eyebrows). This may take awhile.

We apologize for this inconvenience. You’ve come here looking to read something. Well, there may be a post or two this week (perhaps some Best Ofs), but you also have the complete CBB archive to explore, so explore, intrepid CBBer!

We’ll be laying low and spending time with our families. Thanks for your patience. We know the holidays can be a very busy time for the service industry and craft brewers. Enjoy the business, but also find some good quality time to spend with your families. Let’s hook up again next year and kick the shit of 2021. Because yeah, 2020. Goodbye and fuckoff.
