WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.920 --> 00:00:09.460 Welcome, everyone, to the DCB Show. We are @DCBeer across 2 00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:13.139 social media. Mike Stein, what's in your Stein this evening? 3 00:00:13.615 --> 00:00:16.515 Well, hey, Jake. I'm having, Marlene, 4 00:00:17.535 --> 00:00:20.435 original Berlinerweisser by Schneeeule, 5 00:00:21.375 --> 00:00:25.215 Berlin's famous brewery. Very excited to 6 00:00:25.215 --> 00:00:28.270 see them again at Snallygaster this year, 7 00:00:28.570 --> 00:00:32.250 broadening our beer perspective all the way up to North Germany in 8 00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:35.470 Berlin. Brandy, what what are you having? 9 00:00:35.770 --> 00:00:39.150 Hi, mister Stein and Jake, my fave fellas. 10 00:00:39.770 --> 00:00:43.595 I drank a Born Bohemian, which, as 11 00:00:43.595 --> 00:00:47.275 you know, is one of Denizens' flagship beers. It's, 12 00:00:47.835 --> 00:00:51.535 it's, Pilsner, lager Pilsner with 13 00:00:51.675 --> 00:00:55.195 za' tops. It's very refreshing, very lovely. And 14 00:00:55.195 --> 00:00:59.039 then I was so happy to learn as 15 00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:02.399 I was going through my shrunk or shrank German 16 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.240 word, full of beer that I had a couple of cans of 17 00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:09.905 Dynasty's 838 Stout hiding back there. 18 00:01:10.125 --> 00:01:13.185 So that is what I just finished. 19 00:01:13.485 --> 00:01:17.104 Yes. Love this stout. Love you, Fabio. Love you, Dynasty. 20 00:01:17.485 --> 00:01:21.165 So that's that's what I drink tonight. Jake, what's up? I've got 21 00:01:21.165 --> 00:01:24.930 here, one of the hypiest craft lagers from west of 22 00:01:24.930 --> 00:01:28.310 Mississippi. It is a Montucky Cold Snack. 23 00:01:28.770 --> 00:01:32.450 People in the beer biz have been, big upping this 24 00:01:32.450 --> 00:01:36.130 brand for quite some time now. I would say it's got 25 00:01:36.130 --> 00:01:39.695 kinda that, like, banana bubble gum, coarse 26 00:01:39.835 --> 00:01:43.135 yeast, but it's a little bit moreish than Coors Banquet. 27 00:01:43.755 --> 00:01:47.355 Would I illegally transport it across many states like 28 00:01:47.355 --> 00:01:51.115 Smokey and the Bandit? I don't know. But, like, could you drink 29 00:01:51.115 --> 00:01:54.689 3 of them? Yeah. You absolutely could even on a 30 00:01:54.689 --> 00:01:58.070 weekday when we podcast. Alright. 31 00:01:58.450 --> 00:02:01.990 Before we get into our action packed super cool guest, 32 00:02:02.610 --> 00:02:06.130 I believe it's Streetcar 82's 6th anniversary coming up this 33 00:02:06.130 --> 00:02:09.775 weekend, and we've got a beer share 34 00:02:10.074 --> 00:02:13.915 at City State where they'll be pouring their take on 3 35 00:02:13.915 --> 00:02:17.755 Stars Peppercorn Saison on Sunday, 8th. You 36 00:02:17.755 --> 00:02:21.440 should be there. RSVP, you know where. What else is happening 37 00:02:21.580 --> 00:02:25.340 at that beer share, guys? It's a big one. Fill us in, 38 00:02:25.340 --> 00:02:28.640 Brandy. So to be honest, it was kind of random 39 00:02:28.860 --> 00:02:32.700 and kind of exciting. So the representative from 40 00:02:32.700 --> 00:02:36.545 Lions Gate Films reached out to DC Beer and asked if 41 00:02:36.545 --> 00:02:39.504 they could come to our beer share. And I'm like, oh, you guys like beer? 42 00:02:39.504 --> 00:02:43.265 I love that. But, they're coming to promote 43 00:02:43.265 --> 00:02:47.105 their new movie, "The Killer's Game," and, they're coming 44 00:02:47.105 --> 00:02:50.760 giving out swag, movie tickets, and I think 45 00:02:50.760 --> 00:02:54.140 everyone's getting really jazzed about it. So 46 00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:58.680 that's kinda cool. It's gonna be, a very unique 47 00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:02.360 beer share, but we're gonna have the most amazing fun and get some cool 48 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:06.135 movie swag from it. So I'm jazzed about it, and we get 49 00:03:06.135 --> 00:03:09.815 Peppercorn Saison, which is crazy. Who thought that was gonna 50 00:03:09.815 --> 00:03:13.575 come back? Not me. But here we are, and I'm kind of 51 00:03:13.575 --> 00:03:17.240 excited about it. And by kind of, I mean very, because I probably still have 52 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:20.700 this original 3 Stars poster of Peppercorn Saison hanging 53 00:03:20.920 --> 00:03:24.300 in my basement. I did not have Peppercorn 54 00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:28.460 Saison returns in 2024 on 55 00:03:28.760 --> 00:03:32.505 my 2024 DC Beer bingo card, but here we are. 56 00:03:32.505 --> 00:03:36.345 Speaking of brewery swag, a good place to go and 57 00:03:36.345 --> 00:03:39.865 get brewery swag is a festival on Pennsylvania 58 00:03:39.865 --> 00:03:42.765 Avenue where there are over 170 59 00:03:43.545 --> 00:03:47.220 breweries pouring. That festival is Snallygaster, 60 00:03:47.220 --> 00:03:50.980 and we've got Greg Engert of Neighborhood Restaurant Group and, 61 00:03:50.980 --> 00:03:54.740 of course, Churchkey, Bluejacket, The Sovereign, and many others on 62 00:03:54.740 --> 00:03:58.040 the show. Welcome back to the show, NRG managing 63 00:03:58.100 --> 00:04:01.080 partner and beverage director, Greg Engert. 64 00:04:01.704 --> 00:04:05.545 Greg, what are you drinking this evening? It's funny you 65 00:04:05.545 --> 00:04:09.305 should ask. I'm actually drinking, Hill House, which is 66 00:04:09.305 --> 00:04:12.584 our annual Oktoberfest style beer that we make at 67 00:04:12.584 --> 00:04:16.425 Bluejacket. It's not even on the shelves yet, but I was able to grab 68 00:04:16.425 --> 00:04:20.270 a pre release can, station grade. Very nice, very nice. 69 00:04:20.270 --> 00:04:24.110 Are we gonna see any gravity kegs of that around Bluejacket? 70 00:04:24.110 --> 00:04:27.810 Perhaps at the Oktoberfest coming up? Yeah, exactly. At Oktoberfest, 71 00:04:27.950 --> 00:04:31.405 I think we're gonna have, like, like, 8 or 10 different gravity 72 00:04:31.405 --> 00:04:34.764 kegs of different German style beers. So Hill 73 00:04:34.764 --> 00:04:38.604 House, Pattern Sky, Self Portrait, for 74 00:04:38.604 --> 00:04:41.965 the company. Yeah, we we typically try to get 75 00:04:41.965 --> 00:04:45.080 everything into gravity keg for our Oktoberfest 76 00:04:45.860 --> 00:04:49.400 event, which is awesome. And not to jump any additional 77 00:04:49.460 --> 00:04:53.219 questions you may have, but this is also the year that we're gonna finally 78 00:04:53.219 --> 00:04:56.840 see the return of some Franconian gravity kegs from Franconia, 79 00:04:57.139 --> 00:05:00.955 obviously, showing up. So, not for 80 00:05:00.955 --> 00:05:04.635 Oktoberfest, but for Snallygaster and other appearances. That should be 81 00:05:04.635 --> 00:05:08.475 pretty fun. That is excellent news. I know that we talked about this 82 00:05:08.475 --> 00:05:12.315 last year, and much discussion was focused on, the 83 00:05:12.315 --> 00:05:15.879 pandemic and supply chains and the 84 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:19.720 like. Is that getting somewhat better? It's clearing up? I wish I 85 00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:23.400 could say yes. I I mean, it probably is. But, honestly, what 86 00:05:23.400 --> 00:05:27.020 happened was Sebastian Sauer, who I think all of y'all 87 00:05:27.159 --> 00:05:30.985 know very well from Freigeist, he is one 88 00:05:30.985 --> 00:05:34.585 of my best friends, and he's a mover and shaker in the 89 00:05:34.585 --> 00:05:38.345 German beer industry. So he actually he brings in a ton of beer 90 00:05:38.345 --> 00:05:42.185 from, like, Belgium and you know, he's, like, kind of an importer 91 00:05:42.185 --> 00:05:45.699 over there, and he moves a lot of beer around. So he knows all the 92 00:05:45.699 --> 00:05:49.000 major players in Franconia, and he was basically like, 93 00:05:49.460 --> 00:05:53.300 I can just make this happen for you. And so he 94 00:05:53.300 --> 00:05:57.044 did via Line Ventures, which, you know, they kinda took over for Shelton 95 00:05:57.044 --> 00:06:00.884 Brothers and started to help us get the 96 00:06:00.884 --> 00:06:04.565 the kinks on the water. And they're on the water now. They're coming over. We're 97 00:06:04.565 --> 00:06:07.785 getting beers from Ichorn, Will 98 00:06:08.460 --> 00:06:12.300 or Ville, and, and and most excitingly, I 99 00:06:12.300 --> 00:06:16.060 think for me, Knobloch, which is, one of my favorite 100 00:06:16.060 --> 00:06:19.820 Franconian lager producers. So and we've never had their beers in 101 00:06:19.820 --> 00:06:23.195 gravity kegs before, so very exciting. I think we're gonna pour 102 00:06:23.195 --> 00:06:27.035 some at a fit maybe in a bet before Snally, but then we're gonna save 103 00:06:27.035 --> 00:06:30.794 some personality as well. So, yes, that is all back for 104 00:06:30.794 --> 00:06:34.155 you this year, Jake. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. The people love to see it. 105 00:06:34.155 --> 00:06:37.550 And by people, I mean, me walking around drinking 106 00:06:38.090 --> 00:06:41.690 sub 5.5%, you know, just like 11 Plato, 107 00:06:41.690 --> 00:06:45.530 Central European lager is, you know, for that Snallygaster, it's 108 00:06:45.530 --> 00:06:49.370 like hot dogs and mustard. It just goes goes well together. I'm looking forward to 109 00:06:49.370 --> 00:06:52.715 the swag this year. I'm wearing my Snallygaster hoodie, 110 00:06:53.095 --> 00:06:56.695 one of my Snallygaster hoodies. So I'm all all about the 111 00:06:56.695 --> 00:06:59.835 color, and I see that the there's been so many colors, 112 00:07:00.375 --> 00:07:03.815 incorporated to this year's theme. And last year's very eighties, 113 00:07:03.815 --> 00:07:07.599 nineties vibes. So I'm curious to see the swag this year 114 00:07:07.599 --> 00:07:11.440 because I'll probably, Abhi, get a a snally thing. You 115 00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:14.560 know what, Brandy? I'm so glad you brought that up. It's funny. Like, that's something 116 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:18.345 that we don't talk a lot about, and yet 117 00:07:18.345 --> 00:07:21.705 we spend a disproportionate amount of time 118 00:07:21.705 --> 00:07:25.465 on. All the swag that we do at Snally is, like, it 119 00:07:25.465 --> 00:07:29.305 takes us months, like, back and forth, even just to your point, like, coming up 120 00:07:29.305 --> 00:07:33.140 with, like, the theme for the year. You know, this year 121 00:07:33.140 --> 00:07:36.820 was very, like, early 80s. I think I went to them, and I was like, 122 00:07:36.820 --> 00:07:39.560 Let's do, like MTV 123 00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:41.240 1984, 124 00:07:44.655 --> 00:07:48.255 and our our design team is incredible. Chris Mullins and 125 00:07:48.255 --> 00:07:51.935 Tony LaFalce, they were like, yep, got it. And as you 126 00:07:51.935 --> 00:07:55.315 know, like, when you work with, like, marketing teams and designers, 127 00:07:55.775 --> 00:07:59.469 if you can come up with something that they're interested in, it's gonna be amazing. 128 00:07:59.469 --> 00:08:02.349 And I think that that's kind of what we're always looking for every year. It's 129 00:08:02.349 --> 00:08:05.710 like, we have a lot of cool ideas, but if you can find something that 130 00:08:05.710 --> 00:08:09.150 they're pumped about like this, they just jump all 131 00:08:09.150 --> 00:08:12.985 in. And so we have some really cool swag coming 132 00:08:12.985 --> 00:08:16.665 out, and and these guys put in so much work. It it's 133 00:08:16.665 --> 00:08:20.505 really cool every year, to see it happen. I can't 134 00:08:20.505 --> 00:08:23.965 wait to see it. Are there gonna be a Snally themed umbrellas? 135 00:08:24.185 --> 00:08:27.900 Because, you know How dare you say that? Hey. You know what? 136 00:08:27.900 --> 00:08:31.360 Wait. No. We're going to talk about this. This is a sourced object. 137 00:08:32.059 --> 00:08:35.600 But It is. What what do the Snally gods have 138 00:08:35.740 --> 00:08:39.284 in store for us? Because, Greg, let me tell you. I I've been going to 139 00:08:39.284 --> 00:08:42.825 Snally since the days of Union Market parking lot. Yeah. Alright? 140 00:08:42.965 --> 00:08:46.805 There have been many, many, many, many rainy days, Snallies. There have been 141 00:08:46.805 --> 00:08:50.325 many sunny, beautiful Snally days. Honestly, it hasn't 142 00:08:50.325 --> 00:08:53.845 affected my happiness at Snally. I had 143 00:08:53.845 --> 00:08:57.279 a happy Snally time no matter what the weather. 144 00:08:57.660 --> 00:09:01.339 But I'm just curious, like, if people are, like, betting. You're like, 145 00:09:01.339 --> 00:09:04.220 this would be the thing to bet on. This would be the beer nerd thing 146 00:09:04.220 --> 00:09:07.820 to gamble on. I could tell you what, you know, it's it's so 147 00:09:07.820 --> 00:09:10.894 funny you you bring this up. And I I think it's really something interesting to 148 00:09:10.894 --> 00:09:14.355 talk about. So we we just sold out, VIP 149 00:09:14.815 --> 00:09:18.355 today, actually, which is a little later than 150 00:09:18.735 --> 00:09:22.095 last year, but it's right on target for the previous 151 00:09:22.095 --> 00:09:25.850 year. Right? So I think to your point, Brandy, 152 00:09:25.850 --> 00:09:29.370 like, we we didn't obviously host Snally in 153 00:09:29.370 --> 00:09:33.130 2020. In 2021, we came back with a 154 00:09:33.130 --> 00:09:36.350 bang. It was amazing. Beautiful weather. 2022, 155 00:09:37.154 --> 00:09:40.915 beautiful weather. Yes. 23, ticket sales were 156 00:09:40.915 --> 00:09:44.675 nuts because of those 2 years of beautiful weather. And 157 00:09:44.675 --> 00:09:48.134 now it slowed a bit because I think people are waiting, which 158 00:09:48.514 --> 00:09:51.960 totally makes sense to me. And but, you know, it's funny. 159 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:55.740 Even, like, yesterday, when the weather cooled 160 00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:59.800 a little bit, and and kids are back to school, summer seems to be 161 00:09:59.800 --> 00:10:03.320 over, we're moving into fall, post Labor Day, our 162 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:06.540 tickets sales just start skyrocketing. So 163 00:10:06.885 --> 00:10:10.645 if it remains looking good and 2 weeks out we have a nice weather 164 00:10:10.645 --> 00:10:14.325 forecast, it's going to be bananas. If not, we'll see what 165 00:10:14.325 --> 00:10:18.165 happens, but but also to your point, it's fun either 166 00:10:18.165 --> 00:10:21.390 way. You know what I mean? It is. I'll tell you, this is a really 167 00:10:21.390 --> 00:10:24.830 cool, statistic. We track all of the 168 00:10:24.830 --> 00:10:28.190 entrances. And last year, we were like, it's 169 00:10:28.190 --> 00:10:31.710 raining. We sold out, you know, 8,000 people. And it was 170 00:10:31.710 --> 00:10:35.405 like, I wonder how many people are gonna come. I think 171 00:10:35.405 --> 00:10:37.185 we had a 98.3 172 00:10:38.925 --> 00:10:42.465 percent entrance rate, which was actually 173 00:10:42.685 --> 00:10:46.445 higher than 2022 even though 174 00:10:46.445 --> 00:10:49.900 it rained. So that's the cool thing about Snally. It's like, when people, like, they 175 00:10:49.900 --> 00:10:53.660 buy their tickets ahead of time, like, they come. Yeah. They're coming either way. You 176 00:10:53.660 --> 00:10:56.700 know what I mean? So I think one of the things that folks like to 177 00:10:56.700 --> 00:11:00.300 talk about a lot is some of the changes in 178 00:11:00.300 --> 00:11:03.955 terms of the breweries that happen year in, year out at Snally, and then, 179 00:11:03.955 --> 00:11:07.335 you know, we had this conversation last year about how do you keep this fresh 180 00:11:07.635 --> 00:11:11.155 and keep it moving. Who are some of the the new 181 00:11:11.155 --> 00:11:14.915 breweries this year, even if they took, like, a year or 2 off, who 182 00:11:14.915 --> 00:11:18.370 you're excited to have or have back? Typically, we 183 00:11:18.370 --> 00:11:21.710 we we like to rotate in 184 00:11:22.010 --> 00:11:25.770 about 15 10 to 15%, I think, at this point of new brewers, 185 00:11:25.770 --> 00:11:29.450 just to, like I said, like, to keep it fresh. And and honestly, like, a 186 00:11:29.450 --> 00:11:32.954 bunch of brewers can't make it, or decline for other 187 00:11:32.954 --> 00:11:36.654 reasons. We could talk about that as well. So, you know, this year, I think 188 00:11:36.875 --> 00:11:40.714 we're excited. We have, a lot of brewers returning, but 189 00:11:40.714 --> 00:11:44.475 we're really excited to have Peter Allen on hand, and actually 190 00:11:44.475 --> 00:11:48.079 coming to town, which is very cool. CLAG 191 00:11:48.620 --> 00:11:52.240 out of Sandusky, Ohio. It's a really fun 192 00:11:52.860 --> 00:11:56.639 brewery that's that's gonna be great. Messoram from, 193 00:11:57.180 --> 00:12:00.240 Montreal. They're awesome and coming. And, 194 00:12:01.065 --> 00:12:04.525 you know, some breweries like Blaugies from, Hainaut province, 195 00:12:04.745 --> 00:12:08.585 Belgium right on smack on the border, they're sending beer, but 196 00:12:08.585 --> 00:12:12.185 they're also coming. So Pierre-Alex is coming, which is 197 00:12:12.185 --> 00:12:15.450 really cool as well. So those are some of the ones that, obviously, I already 198 00:12:15.450 --> 00:12:18.970 mentioned, like those German brewers that we're gonna have, in gravity 199 00:12:18.970 --> 00:12:22.730 tag, which is super cool. So there's a bunch of really cool new 200 00:12:22.730 --> 00:12:26.110 ones. I'm super excited to see 201 00:12:26.250 --> 00:12:30.025 Lisa Allen or, whomever from here, Allen. Yes. Just tell you, I 202 00:12:30.025 --> 00:12:33.545 think. That's incredible. And it's a great opportunity to 203 00:12:33.545 --> 00:12:37.325 showcase, hometown talent for DC Brewers. Obviously, 204 00:12:37.465 --> 00:12:41.225 you know, Ro Gunzel's work at at Bluejacket is is worth 205 00:12:41.225 --> 00:12:44.910 showcasing as well as some other locals. I'm wondering 206 00:12:45.450 --> 00:12:49.210 who said they were unable to come, and if 207 00:12:49.210 --> 00:12:52.650 you don't wanna name names, who would be a dream 208 00:12:52.650 --> 00:12:56.270 get for you? Yeah. Well, yeah, I think, you know, 209 00:12:56.650 --> 00:13:00.495 GABF, as long as that's going to continue to go on, I don't know. It's 210 00:13:00.495 --> 00:13:03.475 like seems like it's changing every year, so it's hard to know, 211 00:13:04.335 --> 00:13:07.555 exactly how it's going to continue to be. But, 212 00:13:08.175 --> 00:13:11.930 they're they're back on this weekend, like, every year now. It's 213 00:13:11.930 --> 00:13:15.710 just 2 years in a row. I thought they were the 1st weekend before, 214 00:13:16.250 --> 00:13:20.030 but now they're on this weekend. So, you know, beer shot is sending 215 00:13:20.330 --> 00:13:24.030 beer, but they're not coming. You know, whereas they would have absolutely 216 00:13:24.170 --> 00:13:27.685 come in the past. We're not getting cohesion this 217 00:13:27.685 --> 00:13:31.285 year or, like, cerebral based on that. So 218 00:13:31.285 --> 00:13:34.965 that's unfortunate. So I I can say that, you know, that's one that's one part 219 00:13:34.965 --> 00:13:37.685 of that. And then some other ones, like, I think probably one of the most 220 00:13:37.685 --> 00:13:41.365 notable ones that that geeks will notice is that Floodland is not coming after 221 00:13:41.365 --> 00:13:45.020 coming for, like, 3 or 4 years in a row. You know, I think they're 222 00:13:45.020 --> 00:13:48.860 just, like, clamping down on travel. They're 223 00:13:48.860 --> 00:13:52.700 a small brewery, you know, so, unfortunately, they're not gonna be 224 00:13:52.700 --> 00:13:56.404 around this year. But I'll and I'll say in general, you know, Tim Lu, 225 00:13:56.404 --> 00:13:59.925 our beer director, and Bruno Simoes, our assistant beer director, 226 00:13:59.925 --> 00:14:03.705 they they do a lot more, traveling 227 00:14:03.845 --> 00:14:07.365 and and appearances at Fest than than I do at this 228 00:14:07.365 --> 00:14:11.180 point, And they really can take credit for Snallygaster 229 00:14:11.640 --> 00:14:14.460 more than I can at this point. I mean, they're absolutely incredible 230 00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:19.080 humans and phenomenal people to work with. And they have 231 00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:22.440 an engine that I've not seen. They just crush it every 232 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.255 year. You know, I think as they've been going around to other fasts, they've 233 00:14:26.255 --> 00:14:29.954 noticed that not as many people are traveling, 234 00:14:30.654 --> 00:14:34.495 which not to be, you know, to dwell 235 00:14:34.495 --> 00:14:37.954 on the issues or just I wouldn't even say issues, but 236 00:14:38.175 --> 00:14:41.839 craft beer is just kinda getting back to where it once was. 237 00:14:41.920 --> 00:14:44.420 You know, a lot a lot of people talk about, like, craft beer is, like, 238 00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:48.240 it's dead or it's, you know, it's hurting. It's still a 239 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:51.520 lot better than it was when I got started 20 years ago, I'll tell you 240 00:14:51.520 --> 00:14:55.285 that. So, you know, I mean, it's it's slowed down. It's probably slowing down to, 241 00:14:55.285 --> 00:14:59.125 like, a a reasonable pace. But what 242 00:14:59.125 --> 00:15:02.885 reasonable means is that, like, yeah, a lot of these brewers can't travel to 243 00:15:02.885 --> 00:15:06.565 festivals like they used to. So I think because of that, we're 244 00:15:06.565 --> 00:15:09.820 seeing a little bit of a slowdown. All that said, 245 00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:13.960 we're seeing more international brewers. I mean, I mentioned Blaugie is like, Yeah, we'll 246 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:17.740 come. And, the guys from Track out of Manchester 247 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:22.255 are coming. You know, so it's like it's it's it's a weird time 248 00:15:22.255 --> 00:15:25.615 in craft. I mean, I we can't say that enough on, you know, in general, 249 00:15:25.615 --> 00:15:28.894 when we see each other, but on this podcast too. It's like it's strange, right? 250 00:15:28.894 --> 00:15:32.574 Some of these domestic brewers might not travel, but the international 251 00:15:32.574 --> 00:15:36.150 brewers are looking for reasons to travel, so we're kind of 252 00:15:36.150 --> 00:15:39.830 making up for one with the other, and, it always seems to come 253 00:15:39.830 --> 00:15:43.370 together and be amazing no matter what, which is cool. So 254 00:15:43.590 --> 00:15:47.225 Yeah. It's really weird living in the future. And 255 00:15:47.685 --> 00:15:51.305 and what and what I mean by that is, not too long ago, 256 00:15:51.365 --> 00:15:55.045 Sebastian Sauer was at was at Shelter at in the Roost and 257 00:15:55.045 --> 00:15:58.820 doing Kölsch service. And I was like, oh, I can't make it Sunday. Can I, 258 00:15:58.820 --> 00:16:01.620 you know, are you gone? You'll probably be gone by the time I can free 259 00:16:01.620 --> 00:16:04.180 up on Monday. He said, no I'm here, so we went and hung out, we 260 00:16:04.180 --> 00:16:08.020 had some beers, but it was wonderful to see him just be like, 261 00:16:08.020 --> 00:16:11.220 yeah we did Kölsch service on a Sunday, it was wonderful, this is as it 262 00:16:11.220 --> 00:16:14.355 should be. And I was like, oh cool, are you gonna go do that? And 263 00:16:14.355 --> 00:16:18.195 he was gonna hit some more American cities, but it was funny to hear 264 00:16:18.195 --> 00:16:21.875 him get some inside baseball talk about, like, oh, we 265 00:16:21.875 --> 00:16:25.575 should do Kölsch service now, and then next month, September, October, November, 266 00:16:25.790 --> 00:16:29.070 And he was like, you don't need a reason. We just do Kölsch service. Anytime 267 00:16:29.070 --> 00:16:32.910 I'm in Cologne in Köln, we just do Kölsch service. That's what happens, and it 268 00:16:32.910 --> 00:16:36.450 was so wonderful to see his tall, 269 00:16:36.990 --> 00:16:40.735 beautiful German self in DC and just having a 270 00:16:40.735 --> 00:16:43.935 great time and drinking in the beer Kölsch service. And I I remember, like, 10 271 00:16:43.935 --> 00:16:47.695 years ago meeting him at Churchkey on a random I don't know if it was 272 00:16:47.695 --> 00:16:51.510 a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, but the same concept. And and to echo your 273 00:16:51.510 --> 00:16:54.730 point, Greg, massive massive congrats to you, Bruno, 274 00:16:55.030 --> 00:16:58.810 Tim, the team for having incredible yeah. You 275 00:16:58.950 --> 00:17:02.710 know, one Sunday you're doing it at Freigeist, yeah, another Sunday 276 00:17:02.710 --> 00:17:06.250 it's Halfway Crooks, and another Sunday it's Bierstadt Lagerhaus, like, 277 00:17:06.435 --> 00:17:10.275 the continual churn of quality events is 278 00:17:10.275 --> 00:17:13.955 amazing. It's wild. I think it's like, 10 years ago. I think that 279 00:17:14.035 --> 00:17:17.715 so what you're getting at is that, like, when Sebastian came to town, he wasn't 280 00:17:17.715 --> 00:17:21.240 doing Kölsch service. Like, he was, like, popping out 281 00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:25.720 historic German beer styles, you know, like, been crazy weird 282 00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:29.420 beers that, like, people were flocking to then and nobody would drink now. It's like 283 00:17:29.800 --> 00:17:33.240 living in the future, living in the past, what is past is 284 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:36.885 prologue. It's so cool to see this all evolve. And when 285 00:17:36.885 --> 00:17:40.565 people try to talk about, like, the death of craft beer and 286 00:17:40.565 --> 00:17:44.025 stuff, it's like, it's so clearly not because things are still in motion, 287 00:17:44.485 --> 00:17:47.365 you know, and and that's what's and like, we were talking about, like, Jake was 288 00:17:47.365 --> 00:17:51.050 saying, we have gravity kegs coming back to Snally for the first time 289 00:17:51.050 --> 00:17:54.810 since pre-pandemic. That sounds good to me. You know what I mean? Yeah. I think 290 00:17:54.810 --> 00:17:58.650 nature is healing. That's that's what we wanna hear. Yeah. By the 291 00:17:58.650 --> 00:18:02.250 way, I take great I take great offense to obscure the obscure German beer 292 00:18:02.250 --> 00:18:05.405 styles dig because I had a Lyttkenhiner in Baltimore 293 00:18:05.865 --> 00:18:09.705 last month. So You were the first the first and 294 00:18:09.705 --> 00:18:13.225 last person to have that beer probably there. Yes. And it was it was not 295 00:18:13.225 --> 00:18:17.065 even a Sebastian Sauer beer. It was a Mike Earl beer. Shout 296 00:18:17.065 --> 00:18:20.049 out to Mike Earl over at Silver Branch who's got a Rauch beer on at 297 00:18:20.049 --> 00:18:23.570 Diamondback right now. If we're going 298 00:18:23.570 --> 00:18:26.630 to live in the present but 299 00:18:27.090 --> 00:18:30.165 reminisce about the past, what about our Brewers Brunch? 300 00:18:30.645 --> 00:18:33.065 Because that used to be my favorite. 301 00:18:34.405 --> 00:18:38.165 Mallard, are we doing a Brewers Brunch at Mallard? So 302 00:18:38.165 --> 00:18:41.525 here's the thing. For me to ask, we mentioned Bruno and Tim, but, I 303 00:18:41.525 --> 00:18:45.130 mean, so many other people to kind of, like, buck 304 00:18:45.130 --> 00:18:48.970 up on Sunday after this whole all these shenanigans is, 305 00:18:48.970 --> 00:18:52.810 like, pretty difficult. That's why we've held off from doing it in the 306 00:18:52.810 --> 00:18:56.010 past. I mean, you know, most brewers start to come to town on Thursday. We 307 00:18:56.010 --> 00:18:59.794 do some fun stuff all week, and then Thursday it starts, Friday 308 00:18:59.794 --> 00:19:03.335 it's big, Saturday it's big, Saturday after party. You guys have all been there. 309 00:19:03.475 --> 00:19:06.995 Sunday, everybody kind of, like, dies for the day, you 310 00:19:06.995 --> 00:19:10.770 know. So I can pretty much say 311 00:19:10.770 --> 00:19:14.150 that there's no way we'll do over as much. However, however, 312 00:19:14.770 --> 00:19:17.910 2 weeks after Snally, we have, 313 00:19:18.370 --> 00:19:22.050 Churchkey's 15th anniversary event. So I think 314 00:19:22.050 --> 00:19:25.825 that's gonna be on the 26th. We haven't announced 315 00:19:25.825 --> 00:19:29.505 it yet, but we're gonna be showcasing a bunch of really cool 15th 316 00:19:29.505 --> 00:19:33.125 anniversary beers that people have been brewing for us and with us, chilling, 317 00:19:33.505 --> 00:19:36.884 Sierra Nevada, Oxbow, The Veil, Monkish, 318 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:40.240 all that stuff is coming out, and we're gonna have a big party, a blow 319 00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:44.080 out at church camp on the 26th. So maybe I 320 00:19:44.080 --> 00:19:47.919 should be talking to these guys about, some kind of 321 00:19:47.919 --> 00:19:51.755 brunch for that if the brewers are in town. So Yeah. That's a good 322 00:19:51.755 --> 00:19:55.275 idea. So you mentioned brewers getting in for Snally on 323 00:19:55.275 --> 00:19:59.035 Thursday. Are any of them going to go at to 324 00:19:59.035 --> 00:20:02.415 Bluejacket and perhaps do any collaboration beers 325 00:20:02.875 --> 00:20:06.560 with Bluejacket at Bluejacket? I can say 326 00:20:06.560 --> 00:20:10.260 yes, but we're still trying to figure that out. It's hard because 327 00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:14.020 it's a balance of schedules, and Ro 328 00:20:14.320 --> 00:20:17.620 Gunzel, you mentioned before, our director of brewing ops, his team, 329 00:20:18.165 --> 00:20:21.925 Colin and Tim, like, it's crazy busy. Like, we're 330 00:20:21.925 --> 00:20:25.605 kind of coming into fall, so we're hit taking off. We're 331 00:20:25.605 --> 00:20:28.505 packaging a bunch of beer for Bluejacket or for for Snally. 332 00:20:29.605 --> 00:20:33.110 But, we typically do do at least 1 to 2 333 00:20:33.110 --> 00:20:36.789 collabs, and we're working on those now. So we're we are I 334 00:20:36.789 --> 00:20:40.549 can't say definitively what we're doing, but we are we're trying to, like, pin it 335 00:20:40.549 --> 00:20:44.390 down. And, we always brew, you know, 2 collabs. 336 00:20:44.390 --> 00:20:48.215 Like, Thursday, Friday, like you said, we'll do 2 2 beers that 337 00:20:48.215 --> 00:20:51.575 will come out after. You mentioned Blaugies, and then you also 338 00:20:51.575 --> 00:20:54.934 mentioned track. I noticed a few more 339 00:20:54.934 --> 00:20:58.635 Brits coming this year, not just Track, but also Cloudwater, 340 00:21:00.215 --> 00:21:04.060 more. And the return of I mean, 341 00:21:04.060 --> 00:21:07.820 you know, we're all OG beer geeks here. Ridgeway, who 342 00:21:07.980 --> 00:21:11.680 I mean, I've been drinking Ridgeway since, like, the, 343 00:21:12.060 --> 00:21:14.320 I don't know, mid to late nineties. 344 00:21:15.554 --> 00:21:19.335 Santa's Butt, all of the Very Bad Elf series, 345 00:21:19.715 --> 00:21:23.315 do you think they'll be bringing any real ale? Will we see some casks, some 346 00:21:23.315 --> 00:21:27.075 firkins? Yeah. That's it's we're talking about that right now. I 347 00:21:27.075 --> 00:21:30.674 mean, I think, possibly. I'm so glad that y'all 348 00:21:30.674 --> 00:21:34.400 noticed that. Like, we that's something personality. I think sometimes 349 00:21:34.940 --> 00:21:38.400 when we have to pour less of the 350 00:21:38.620 --> 00:21:42.080 hundreds of local brewers that there are, obviously, we only do 351 00:21:42.300 --> 00:21:46.095 175 brewers, so not everybody can be involved. A lot of times 352 00:21:46.095 --> 00:21:49.855 we're making way for international brewers, right? Because 353 00:21:49.855 --> 00:21:53.695 we we believe, rightfully, that they do things 354 00:21:53.695 --> 00:21:57.235 differently, and they can show us things that we can't get from 355 00:21:57.375 --> 00:22:01.010 brewers locally. Not that they're better or worse, but it's just fun to have 356 00:22:01.010 --> 00:22:04.310 different perspectives, different flavors, things like that. So, yeah, Ridgeway, 357 00:22:04.370 --> 00:22:08.130 Cloudwater, more beer, Justin, Hawk, really close 358 00:22:08.130 --> 00:22:11.910 buddy of mine will be in town for this. But all that said, 359 00:22:12.184 --> 00:22:16.025 I'm not sure if we're gonna do ferkins just because we all 360 00:22:16.025 --> 00:22:19.785 know that an hour or 2 in, even with, like, a blanket 361 00:22:19.785 --> 00:22:23.385 on it, it's not necessarily the best way to 362 00:22:23.385 --> 00:22:26.825 showcase their beers. And so if they're coming all the way over from the 363 00:22:26.825 --> 00:22:30.580 UK, we're probably gonna serve stuff in, you know, a container 364 00:22:30.580 --> 00:22:34.020 and key keg. That said, most of these guys are putting the 365 00:22:34.020 --> 00:22:37.400 beers in the kegs, naturally 366 00:22:37.460 --> 00:22:41.060 carbonated like they're filling Firkins anyways. So, like, you know, 367 00:22:41.060 --> 00:22:44.265 unfiltered, unpasteurized, naturally carbonated. 368 00:22:44.885 --> 00:22:48.405 So it's close enough, but the pop and circumstance, probably not as 369 00:22:48.405 --> 00:22:52.245 much. When we do the gravity kegs from Germany, it's just those things 370 00:22:52.245 --> 00:22:55.925 are light. They're they're airtight. Those they make a lot more sense for a 371 00:22:55.925 --> 00:22:59.669 fast, and they tend to be smaller. We don't typically get 372 00:22:59.669 --> 00:23:03.510 pins from the UK. So when we get 13 gallons of 373 00:23:03.510 --> 00:23:07.130 Firkin beer, it's like the first 5 gallons are gonna be amazing. 374 00:23:07.429 --> 00:23:10.470 The rest because you guys remember, we used to do that at Snellie all the 375 00:23:10.470 --> 00:23:14.245 time. And it it it by the end, it wasn't the best 376 00:23:14.245 --> 00:23:18.085 way to showcase the beer. So I mean, suggestion here, 377 00:23:18.085 --> 00:23:21.605 you can do Firkin' Friday as the Friday pre 378 00:23:21.605 --> 00:23:25.210 Snally event with all of the orders and stuff. We do that 379 00:23:25.210 --> 00:23:28.990 every Friday, every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday 380 00:23:29.050 --> 00:23:32.750 at Shelter Churchkey, and Bluejacket it anyways. I mean, 381 00:23:33.450 --> 00:23:37.230 that's what I'll say is like, if you don't get firkins of Ridgeway, IPA, 382 00:23:37.930 --> 00:23:41.625 ESP at Snally, we'll have it at Churchkey that 383 00:23:41.625 --> 00:23:45.385 weekend. You know what I mean? So, like, that's that's that's cool at least. I 384 00:23:45.385 --> 00:23:48.825 was gonna say real quick, thank you for acknowledging the local 385 00:23:48.825 --> 00:23:52.345 brewers because, you know, we are on the receiving end of a lot 386 00:23:52.345 --> 00:23:55.340 of comments. And we always say, you know, 387 00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:59.720 Snally Greg is has the opportunity because of 388 00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:03.480 his connections and his long time in in the industry to bring in 389 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:07.160 all of these breweries that we don't tend to get to have. 390 00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:10.815 And, you know, it's I do appreciate you 391 00:24:10.815 --> 00:24:14.495 acknowledging the local breweries who may feel left out. I don't think it's anything 392 00:24:14.495 --> 00:24:18.015 personal. Oh, it's absolutely not anything personal. It's it's a 393 00:24:18.015 --> 00:24:21.455 horrible position to be in. Can you imagine? Like like, that's it's 394 00:24:21.455 --> 00:24:25.290 hard. We do rotate. Like I you know what I mean? Like like Silver Branch 395 00:24:25.290 --> 00:24:28.490 is back this year after not being in last year. You know what I mean? 396 00:24:28.490 --> 00:24:32.170 Like, so like we do our best to like try to to to 397 00:24:32.170 --> 00:24:36.005 help out our friends. But at the same time, 398 00:24:36.225 --> 00:24:39.985 Snallygaster is not a local beer fest, and never 399 00:24:39.985 --> 00:24:43.685 is gonna be, never should be. And if it comes down to making 400 00:24:43.745 --> 00:24:47.585 room for beers like from Franconia you've never had 401 00:24:47.585 --> 00:24:51.250 before, we have to do that. I I I just that that's that's the 402 00:24:51.250 --> 00:24:55.090 nature of our fast, and I think most people understand. And I and 403 00:24:55.090 --> 00:24:58.770 I appreciate you guys are really good yeomans, for 404 00:24:58.770 --> 00:25:02.610 us and and great, like, people who can spread the word on that. 405 00:25:02.610 --> 00:25:06.385 But, you know, it's hard. It never feels good. But 406 00:25:06.845 --> 00:25:10.525 I do think it's cool because we're trying to, like, rotate people back through. Like 407 00:25:10.525 --> 00:25:14.125 I said, like, Silver Branch is back this year. We love that brewery. We love 408 00:25:14.125 --> 00:25:17.105 those guys. They make amazing beers. So, 409 00:25:18.045 --> 00:25:21.700 yeah, we're we're always thinking of it. I think that's the beauty of Snally. 410 00:25:21.700 --> 00:25:25.220 We we often forget that, you know, it's a fundraiser for 411 00:25:25.220 --> 00:25:28.900 Arcadia Farms, and that is fundamentally doing good. Because 412 00:25:28.900 --> 00:25:32.340 outside of that, the beer world is so broad that you have to 413 00:25:32.340 --> 00:25:35.995 have Franconian gravity fed 414 00:25:35.995 --> 00:25:38.894 beer, and you have to have Mancusian 415 00:25:39.595 --> 00:25:43.115 or Manchesterian or beers from 416 00:25:43.115 --> 00:25:46.955 Ridgeway. I had 2 Ridgeway beers today, and it just reminded me how 417 00:25:46.955 --> 00:25:50.350 broad the world of beer is. And to your point, Greg, I would much rather 418 00:25:50.350 --> 00:25:53.550 have the 2 beers that I had at a bottle, the imperial stout and the 419 00:25:53.550 --> 00:25:57.310 export stout, than I would gallons 6 to 420 00:25:57.310 --> 00:26:01.070 13 out of a cask. Knowing how good gallons 1 421 00:26:01.070 --> 00:26:03.995 through 5 are, it just doesn't make sense. Right? And so you have to do 422 00:26:03.995 --> 00:26:06.975 the logical thing. And I would also add, Brandy, 423 00:26:07.835 --> 00:26:11.515 not to ever have you be, you know, the the 424 00:26:11.515 --> 00:26:14.955 punching bag for local brewers or have DCB or us take the blame, 425 00:26:14.955 --> 00:26:18.315 but anytime we go back to those brewers and go, but have you 426 00:26:18.315 --> 00:26:21.730 had, the Georgian broil, or have you had a 427 00:26:21.730 --> 00:26:25.490 Ridgeway export Stout, or have you had and if it's in good faith, 428 00:26:25.490 --> 00:26:29.330 it's always, yeah. You're right. I would love an an export stout 429 00:26:29.330 --> 00:26:33.095 from Ridgeway. I would love a Keller beer from Boudinheim. The other 430 00:26:33.095 --> 00:26:36.855 thing I would say, guys, which I think is, like, really important is 431 00:26:36.934 --> 00:26:40.695 and I've written about this for craft beer brewing. It's like, where 432 00:26:40.695 --> 00:26:44.530 are people getting inspiration these days? You know, or 433 00:26:44.530 --> 00:26:47.810 or just learning how to make a beer correctly. You know what I mean? I 434 00:26:47.810 --> 00:26:51.590 think that it's harder and harder to find imported beer 435 00:26:51.730 --> 00:26:55.170 anywhere, but when I think of like, you know, I was just talking 436 00:26:55.170 --> 00:26:59.010 to, Kelly Young from Velocity Girl because we're actually we're gonna 437 00:26:59.010 --> 00:27:02.785 brew a beer with him. We're just talking about, you know, if you 438 00:27:02.785 --> 00:27:06.465 wanna make a Dunkle, what's that based on? You know, like if you just go 439 00:27:06.465 --> 00:27:10.225 to a random brewery and say like, what what's this Dunkle based on? I mean, 440 00:27:10.225 --> 00:27:13.830 Internet, technology probably, you know, just like finding stuff, but like, isn't 441 00:27:13.830 --> 00:27:17.669 drinking Iager Alt Virus Stenkel or Andex? You know what I mean? 442 00:27:17.669 --> 00:27:21.370 Like, this is the these are the things I wonder about, or when people, like, 443 00:27:21.429 --> 00:27:24.890 start brewing rock beer. Have you had 444 00:27:24.950 --> 00:27:28.754 Shlenkerla? Have you had it recently? Because and again, I'm only sharing this 445 00:27:28.754 --> 00:27:31.875 because I know for a fact it's harder and harder to find any of these 446 00:27:31.875 --> 00:27:35.554 beers today. So it's like, I I think Snally 447 00:27:35.554 --> 00:27:39.315 is also a great opportunity for people to taste a bunch of stuff 448 00:27:39.315 --> 00:27:42.779 that they can't necessarily get all the time. And when you think of like, oh, 449 00:27:42.779 --> 00:27:46.380 like, I love making lager. Well, if you come to Snally and you drink some 450 00:27:46.380 --> 00:27:50.059 of these Franconia lagers, it might, like, blow your mind and 451 00:27:50.059 --> 00:27:53.500 and make you think like, oh, wow. Like, you know, as a brewer or a 452 00:27:53.500 --> 00:27:56.940 home brewer or like just like a festival goer, like, wow. How do I do 453 00:27:56.940 --> 00:28:00.585 that? You know? And and that used to be easier to do when there was 454 00:28:00.585 --> 00:28:03.465 more imports, but there's not as much now. So, like, I think that that's cool. 455 00:28:03.465 --> 00:28:07.225 And, also, you go to Snally, whether you're pouring or not, the 456 00:28:07.225 --> 00:28:10.825 opportunity to meet and hang out with so many brewers and and and just, 457 00:28:10.825 --> 00:28:14.390 like, interact and talk through ideas 458 00:28:14.450 --> 00:28:18.290 for, you know, beer making but or just process 459 00:28:18.290 --> 00:28:22.070 or or ingredient sourcing is is incredible. 460 00:28:22.130 --> 00:28:25.775 I mean, it's just like so if we get 250 brewers in DC 461 00:28:25.775 --> 00:28:29.615 for a weekend, that's everybody's win, you know, beyond 462 00:28:29.615 --> 00:28:33.375 just Arcadia, NRG, Snally. It's it's 463 00:28:33.375 --> 00:28:36.910 a it's an amazing time for everybody to take advantage of. It's only 464 00:28:36.910 --> 00:28:39.890 everybody's win if you actually listen to what Blaugees does 465 00:28:40.510 --> 00:28:42.930 and do a proper step mash. Right. 466 00:28:44.670 --> 00:28:48.510 I will say, in addition to what Greg just said, last year on 467 00:28:48.510 --> 00:28:52.135 the Snellie stage, I was geeking out the whole time I 468 00:28:52.135 --> 00:28:55.755 was on stage because we had a star studded 469 00:28:56.135 --> 00:28:59.735 series of panels. And I was on stage, and I was 470 00:28:59.735 --> 00:29:03.095 like, geek be are geeking out, because, like, I'm 471 00:29:03.095 --> 00:29:06.710 so happy that I get to talk to these people, and and not only do 472 00:29:06.710 --> 00:29:10.390 the brewers get to geek out, but it's it's, like, non 473 00:29:10.390 --> 00:29:13.850 brewers and beer geeks overall just to get to, like, beyond 474 00:29:14.150 --> 00:29:17.270 in the same area as them. Like, how cool is that? And, like, shoot the 475 00:29:17.270 --> 00:29:20.985 shit or drink a beer together. And I I just that that honestly was the 476 00:29:20.985 --> 00:29:24.825 highlight of my entire snalley last year. Not even just the stage, 477 00:29:24.825 --> 00:29:27.804 but just having the opportunity to be interviewing 478 00:29:28.264 --> 00:29:32.024 these people that I admire and look up to in the beer industry. 479 00:29:32.024 --> 00:29:35.650 It's incredible. So And we're and we're gonna do that again. 480 00:29:35.790 --> 00:29:39.550 I mean, DC Beer is definitely gonna be back running the podcast each. We're not 481 00:29:39.550 --> 00:29:43.010 gonna have it as close to a music stage 482 00:29:43.310 --> 00:29:47.155 as last time, so you can hear it. We're gonna figure it out. But, yeah, 483 00:29:47.155 --> 00:29:50.355 I mean, it's like it's so cool. And, like, we have some other, you know, 484 00:29:50.355 --> 00:29:53.155 Steal This Beer podcast. They just reached out to me today. They're like, can we 485 00:29:53.155 --> 00:29:56.115 come down and work with DC Beer and be on the stage? I'm like, hell 486 00:29:56.115 --> 00:29:59.789 yeah. Like, we can come up with so many ways to do this and 487 00:29:59.789 --> 00:30:03.390 keep interviewing amazing people. And then you guys kept, you know, 488 00:30:03.390 --> 00:30:07.149 releasing these awesome episodes afterwards. I mean, it's cool. I feel like we're 489 00:30:07.149 --> 00:30:10.669 we're really taking advantage of having all these, cool 490 00:30:10.669 --> 00:30:14.475 personalities in in the same place. So thank you for that, and 491 00:30:14.475 --> 00:30:17.995 we can't wait to do that again. Yeah. Thank you so much, Greg. And you 492 00:30:17.995 --> 00:30:21.534 listeners, take advantage of it too. General mission tickets still available. 493 00:30:21.595 --> 00:30:24.735 Again, this is for a good cause. Arcadia 494 00:30:24.955 --> 00:30:28.559 Farms. Greg, as always, thank you so so much. 495 00:30:28.780 --> 00:30:32.620 Yes, guys. It's great to see you. And thank you, Tim and Bruno. We 496 00:30:32.620 --> 00:30:36.380 know everyone is out there working hard. We can all sleep with the windows open. 497 00:30:36.380 --> 00:30:39.955 We can drink marasins and fest beers and even 498 00:30:39.955 --> 00:30:43.634 pumpkin beers, I guess, if that's your thing. It's not for me. But 499 00:30:43.634 --> 00:30:47.475 you enjoying it, doesn't hurt me in any way, so fine, I 500 00:30:47.475 --> 00:30:51.235 guess. What else do you all got going on? English stout, 501 00:30:51.235 --> 00:30:54.970 Jacob. English stout. I got not one, but 2 export 502 00:30:54.970 --> 00:30:58.810 styles from JP at Hop Cask and Barrel. Shout out to JP, manager 503 00:30:58.810 --> 00:31:02.350 of Hop Cask and Barrel, for bringing in the Ridgeway 504 00:31:02.650 --> 00:31:06.270 goodies. Brandy, what's on your 505 00:31:06.410 --> 00:31:10.225 agenda? Beer wise or event wise? Because, 506 00:31:10.225 --> 00:31:13.665 you know, my women's brew Kölschure club, we're doing trivia at, other half, 507 00:31:13.665 --> 00:31:17.345 the middle the middle Indus of the month, but come back on that one. 508 00:31:17.345 --> 00:31:21.185 I am looking forward to the return of brown 509 00:31:21.185 --> 00:31:24.639 ales. I will say someone just 510 00:31:24.639 --> 00:31:28.320 gifted me a lovely box of Cigar City's 511 00:31:28.320 --> 00:31:32.080 brown ale. Out of nowhere, I was very 512 00:31:32.080 --> 00:31:35.279 excited because they know they knew my favorite type of beer was brown ale, and 513 00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:39.045 they couldn't find any because this is the world that I live in. So 514 00:31:39.105 --> 00:31:42.465 they went out and bought out, bought a box of cigarsity 515 00:31:42.465 --> 00:31:46.065 brown ale, so I'm thoroughly enjoying those. So, guys, 516 00:31:46.065 --> 00:31:49.585 if and women and theys and thems and wes and us, 517 00:31:49.585 --> 00:31:53.430 make more brown ales for Brandy. Thank you.
