Barley & Me host Ben Rice travels to Sacramento's New Helvetia Brewing to tag team owner Dave Gull with the fine fellows, the bombastic barbers, the jazzed-up joys Jason Dunn and Justin Williams of the A Little Off The Top Podcast.
We'll crisscross topics like city planning, podcasting for profit, New Helvetia's new kitchen, and the best biscuits and gravy while also telling intense stories about best friends, power hours, and a dash of state-sanctioned insurance fraud. Plus! The ALOTTP interesting convenience store find of the week, vasectomies (and other dude stuff), and old Old Sacramento history. All this and more, on the latest episode of Barley & Me (and A Little Off the Top!). Enjoy!
Seriously, check out A Little Off the Top wherever you get your podcasts. Give em a follow @alittleoffthetoppod
New Helvetia's 11th anniversary is coming up, so keep an eye on their socials @newhelvetiabrew

Barley & Me is now Barley & Me Pod-uctions due to the sheer volume of comedy shows Ben currently runs. If you're in the greater Sacramento region, we have something for you. I hate promotion.

Ben is also posting #Chugs4Charity videos semi-regularly on Instagram (@barleyandmepod), to help raise funds for various local and national charities with goals of making our world a better place. You can Venmo Ben ($comedianbenrice) or hit his PayPal (@barleyandmepod) and all money will go to support the NAACP, ACLU, Black Lives Matter, and other civil rights helpers. Charities will change with the times and as emergencies arise. But the point is: all donations will go to help those who need it. It's now been over a year since Brienne Allen's revelations about the beer industry's treatment of women and minorities. If you have stories about change (or lack thereof), please submit them (anonymously if you wish) and your story may be featured on a future episode. Simply go to https://forms.gle/2QNebCn7NHHjsEbg6
