I love your league idea. I recognize a handful of these names from walking around my local beer shops. Do you celebrate the end of each season by purchasing the winning team's beer?
On a side note, I noticed your PT22 teams are in lower leagues. Is the game a lot harder to advance now? I haven't played since I did 'The Dog Park' in PT20.
Regardless, I look forward to reading through this blog.

thanks for reading along!

If I can find them in the local stores, I always try to pick up beers from breweries in the league (can usually find Funky Buddha and Terrapin around these parts pretty easy)... longer term plans... if I can get it setup and working, might try streaming Beer League games on twitch... and will look to buy some swag (shirts/hats/etc) from each brewery (if they offer anything) to throw some financial support their way

Yeah, the PT competition is pretty fierce, and I've been more casual in my efforts... held my own in the gold tier for a good 30+ seasons but the longer it runs, the more challenging the teams get, so in that nether region right now where I'm a bit whale-like at Silver (just won 122 games last season at Silver and the WS), but struggle at Gold (2-9 so far to start this year)
