WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.840 --> 00:00:09.640 Welcome everyone to the D.C. beer Show. We're at D.C. beer across social 2 00:00:09.680 --> 00:00:13.512 media. Mike Stein, what's in your stein tonight. I am 3 00:00:13.536 --> 00:00:17.240 drinking coalesce dry hopped Czech 4 00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:20.840 Pale lager. Which the beery. No, the 5 00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:24.600 beery godmother didn't bring this to me. The beery Brandy brought this 6 00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:28.298 to me. Brandy drinks gin and beer and wine and 7 00:00:28.354 --> 00:00:32.202 non alcoholic beer. But it's sojourn fermentary 8 00:00:32.266 --> 00:00:36.074 out of Suffolk, Virginia. It's a dry hop. Check. Pale lager brewed 9 00:00:36.122 --> 00:00:39.770 in collaboration with Schilling. It's dry hop with petit 10 00:00:39.850 --> 00:00:43.322 blanc. You might remember Petit blanc from Tipo 11 00:00:43.386 --> 00:00:47.146 Pils variant one off last year, which we're gonna have Tipo 12 00:00:47.178 --> 00:00:49.870 Pils day. By the time you hear this, it will have come and gone. 13 00:00:50.210 --> 00:00:53.738 Brandy, what's in your glass this evening? 14 00:00:53.914 --> 00:00:57.498 Hi Stein. Let me just say that I had a lovely day 15 00:00:57.554 --> 00:01:01.274 today. I had been so swamped 16 00:01:01.322 --> 00:01:05.050 with the silent auction and the women's panel and all that 17 00:01:05.090 --> 00:01:08.682 jazz and today was like my first 18 00:01:08.786 --> 00:01:12.602 breath of air. And I somehow didn't even have to go to 19 00:01:12.626 --> 00:01:16.410 work work today. So what a wonderful day 20 00:01:16.450 --> 00:01:19.594 I had. So I shared some beers with 21 00:01:19.682 --> 00:01:22.968 boyfriend and shout out to Matt Splain of Other 22 00:01:23.024 --> 00:01:26.424 Half. But we had, we shared Vine 23 00:01:26.472 --> 00:01:30.312 Street Farmhouse saison earlier and it 24 00:01:30.336 --> 00:01:33.864 was incredible. Shout out to vine 25 00:01:33.912 --> 00:01:37.160 street out of Missouri. That beer was fabulous. 26 00:01:37.240 --> 00:01:41.032 7.3. She said it was her favorite or the most 27 00:01:41.056 --> 00:01:44.840 popular beer there and I can see why if you want to 28 00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:48.510 check out that episode it was we recorded with her last, the last 29 00:01:48.550 --> 00:01:52.270 episode. And then right now I'm actively, actively drinking 30 00:01:52.350 --> 00:01:55.806 Golden Mean, which is another beer that I 31 00:01:55.958 --> 00:01:59.774 obtained on my recent trip to Virginia Beach, Norfolk, which is 32 00:01:59.782 --> 00:02:03.342 where I got your beer from. Mr. Stein. This beer is from Commonwealth 33 00:02:03.406 --> 00:02:07.102 Brewing. And this one, this one's amazing. 34 00:02:07.246 --> 00:02:09.310 Stein, you're going to love this one. It is a 35 00:02:09.350 --> 00:02:12.370 2.4% alcohol 36 00:02:13.110 --> 00:02:16.794 American lager with Holler Towel Blanc and it is 37 00:02:16.882 --> 00:02:20.650 just incredible. Doesn't even taste 2.4. It 38 00:02:20.690 --> 00:02:24.154 tastes like there's a solid 5% golden 39 00:02:24.202 --> 00:02:27.962 deliciousness in there. I'm. I'm a huge fan. Give me 40 00:02:27.986 --> 00:02:31.322 more 2.4 beers. I did not know the 41 00:02:31.346 --> 00:02:35.130 2.4 was an option. I have 4.1 but that 42 00:02:35.170 --> 00:02:38.922 there's 2 with Hollerd Owl Hops. New Hollerd Al hops coming out 43 00:02:38.946 --> 00:02:42.670 of that pocket of Virginia. Were impressed, but yes. Jake, what 44 00:02:42.710 --> 00:02:46.398 are you having this fine evening? If you put the 45 00:02:46.454 --> 00:02:50.190 ABVs of your two beers together, you 46 00:02:50.230 --> 00:02:53.998 would still come up short. Jordan isn't here and 47 00:02:54.054 --> 00:02:57.406 so in his absence I honor 48 00:02:57.438 --> 00:03:01.118 him with BJ's Brewhouse. Multiple locations 49 00:03:01.214 --> 00:03:04.702 in the DMV. Zany Zitrus 50 00:03:04.846 --> 00:03:08.616 Hazy IPA. It is 7.4%. 51 00:03:08.768 --> 00:03:11.832 It was brewed at the BJ's Brewhouse in Temple, 52 00:03:11.896 --> 00:03:15.304 Texas and it is the most 53 00:03:15.392 --> 00:03:19.112 bitterest hazy IPA I think I have 54 00:03:19.136 --> 00:03:22.472 had in recent memory and I am here for it. It's like 55 00:03:22.496 --> 00:03:25.400 a hazy colored, 56 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.320 opaque west coast ipa. The hot 57 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.780 bill is wild for a hazy Bravo, 58 00:03:33.170 --> 00:03:36.670 Cashmere Cascade and Citra. 59 00:03:37.010 --> 00:03:40.714 And it's been, it's drinking like, it's like 65 60 00:03:40.802 --> 00:03:43.750 IBU, like green flash back in the day. 61 00:03:44.690 --> 00:03:48.458 I'm not mad about that. But if you wanted a hazy thinking you're 62 00:03:48.474 --> 00:03:52.090 gonna get some like OJ Smooth type beer, 63 00:03:52.250 --> 00:03:55.802 this is not it. I will have you know, Jake, 64 00:03:55.866 --> 00:03:59.396 it's a bit of a through the looking glass situation where you're 65 00:03:59.538 --> 00:04:02.688 sipping on a beer that I can clearly see is 66 00:04:02.744 --> 00:04:06.416 opaque. No way I can see through it. Jordan 67 00:04:06.448 --> 00:04:09.696 is actually at Halfway Crooks in 68 00:04:09.768 --> 00:04:13.456 Georgia and when he texted me, he told me he was drinking an Ada 69 00:04:13.488 --> 00:04:17.264 Lovelace and Halfway Crooks. Ada is a German 70 00:04:17.312 --> 00:04:20.608 style pilsner. So Jordan's drinking the 4.8 71 00:04:20.664 --> 00:04:23.968 ABV crystal clear Pils. You're drinking the Hazy 72 00:04:24.064 --> 00:04:27.410 Cloudy IPA. Brandy's got a clear logger. 73 00:04:27.570 --> 00:04:31.122 It's just a complete role reversal and that's how we like 74 00:04:31.146 --> 00:04:34.802 it. We don't like normativity to be the norm here. We like 75 00:04:34.826 --> 00:04:38.338 to change it up at DC Beer. If you're not following us, 76 00:04:38.394 --> 00:04:42.018 dcbeer.com patreon come 77 00:04:42.074 --> 00:04:44.790 join our group of dedicated listeners. 78 00:04:45.690 --> 00:04:48.630 I agree that it's kind of a weird 79 00:04:49.610 --> 00:04:53.392 whack a molecule Monday because normally I, I 80 00:04:53.416 --> 00:04:57.104 have a dark beer in my glass, but I still want to 81 00:04:57.112 --> 00:05:00.912 give some shout out to our beer of the month in collaboration 82 00:05:00.976 --> 00:05:03.968 with the Brew Shop in Arlington. Shout out to our 83 00:05:04.024 --> 00:05:07.872 amazing women over Julie and 84 00:05:07.896 --> 00:05:11.632 Beth over at Arlington Brew Shop. Our beer of the month 85 00:05:11.656 --> 00:05:15.104 is Dynasty's 838 Irish stout, which is 86 00:05:15.272 --> 00:05:19.112 just my favorite beer at Dynasty. Go check them out. 87 00:05:19.136 --> 00:05:22.936 Go support local and yeah, Beer of the month. That's what's 88 00:05:22.968 --> 00:05:26.808 up is my choice this month. So who's. I think who's. Who's picking next month? 89 00:05:26.864 --> 00:05:30.552 Jake. Jake, are you next month? Correct. I. 90 00:05:30.736 --> 00:05:34.420 What's it gonna be? April. Yeah. And so 91 00:05:35.200 --> 00:05:38.872 we can do some April Fools type stuff. We can do a beer 92 00:05:38.936 --> 00:05:42.248 for Easter. Probably can't do a beer for 93 00:05:42.304 --> 00:05:45.880 Passover, so it goes. But 94 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.464 yeah, it'll be. It'll be fun. I'm looking forward to seeing that. The list of 95 00:05:49.632 --> 00:05:52.952 what's newly available? Speaking of new, 96 00:05:53.136 --> 00:05:56.888 I know that Denizens is rocking out a bunch 97 00:05:56.904 --> 00:06:00.744 of new stuff. They, they have a 98 00:06:00.752 --> 00:06:04.420 new website format. And I think, 99 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:08.632 and correct me, Stein if I'm wrong, but I think they're bringing on 100 00:06:08.656 --> 00:06:11.816 a new chef. They're. They're doing in a whole new menu, and I think it's 101 00:06:11.848 --> 00:06:15.496 debuting this week. That's big 102 00:06:15.568 --> 00:06:19.288 facts, Brandy. Launching a new menu 103 00:06:19.384 --> 00:06:22.984 by chef Shannon Tronoso, who you might 104 00:06:23.072 --> 00:06:26.712 know, because I know I, I was in my 105 00:06:26.736 --> 00:06:30.200 wayback machine, also known as my 106 00:06:30.320 --> 00:06:34.040 email inbox, my original email inbox this morning. And 107 00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:37.196 in 2017, chef Shannon 108 00:06:37.228 --> 00:06:40.844 Trancoso was celebrating the third anniversary for Brooklyn's 109 00:06:40.892 --> 00:06:44.588 Finest as the partner executive chef. So I know 110 00:06:44.644 --> 00:06:48.236 that in 2017, Shannon Troncoso had a 111 00:06:48.308 --> 00:06:51.980 menu with smoked wings, smoked Mac and cheese, smoked crab sandwich, and they were 112 00:06:52.020 --> 00:06:55.564 partnering with DC Browse, serving their pride Pils 113 00:06:55.612 --> 00:06:59.404 German pilsner in honor of capital Pride week, which was June 8 114 00:06:59.452 --> 00:07:03.174 to June 11 in 2017. So this is a chef 115 00:07:03.222 --> 00:07:06.930 who's been around better beer for a decade now. 116 00:07:07.230 --> 00:07:10.614 Jake, you've been to Brookland's Finest. You've 117 00:07:10.662 --> 00:07:14.486 sampled Shannon's goods throughout the years. We're 118 00:07:14.518 --> 00:07:18.198 very excited to see this new, new. I 119 00:07:18.254 --> 00:07:22.054 believe Julie described it as a gastropub. So we're 120 00:07:22.102 --> 00:07:24.570 pretty pumped to see what's coming down the pike. 121 00:07:25.710 --> 00:07:29.430 Yeah, I think Julie did a very good job of choosing a 122 00:07:29.470 --> 00:07:33.320 chef here. For those who don't know, I live 123 00:07:34.260 --> 00:07:38.012 near Brooklyn's Finest. It is the closest restaurant to me. And so I 124 00:07:38.036 --> 00:07:41.532 have been going there for as long as Brooklyn's Finest has been open, which I 125 00:07:41.556 --> 00:07:44.760 believe is coming up on 11 and a half, 12 years now. 126 00:07:45.060 --> 00:07:48.892 Shannon really knows her stuff. And Shannon likes beer. And 127 00:07:48.916 --> 00:07:52.156 if you go to the Denizen's website, you're going to see 128 00:07:52.228 --> 00:07:55.080 beer used in ways that, 129 00:07:56.350 --> 00:07:59.446 sure, you've seen it elsewhere, but you certainly haven't seen it at 130 00:07:59.518 --> 00:08:03.222 Denizens. By the way, much respect to Chris 131 00:08:03.286 --> 00:08:06.450 from Catalyst Hot Dogs, who was holding it down there 132 00:08:06.830 --> 00:08:10.502 as well. Love you, Chris. He's a Jersey guy. We love our 133 00:08:10.526 --> 00:08:13.862 Jersey guys. He's moving on with the 134 00:08:13.886 --> 00:08:17.574 Catalyst brand. It was time. 135 00:08:17.662 --> 00:08:21.270 He said best of luck to him as well. But 136 00:08:21.310 --> 00:08:25.062 Denizens isn't done here because they've got two collaboration beers 137 00:08:25.126 --> 00:08:28.516 coming out with other restaurants. One is Hill East 138 00:08:28.548 --> 00:08:32.356 Burger. You all know Joe Newman Sloppy Mamas. He's 139 00:08:32.388 --> 00:08:36.036 in Hill East Burger as well. Sloppy Mamas popped 140 00:08:36.068 --> 00:08:39.796 up at three stars a bunch. Three stars did a hazy pale 141 00:08:39.828 --> 00:08:42.720 ale for Sloppy Mamas. They know the way around 142 00:08:43.260 --> 00:08:46.740 that. And then later on this week, a 143 00:08:46.780 --> 00:08:50.564 lager with two fiddy. The best barbecue 144 00:08:50.612 --> 00:08:54.200 spot probably in the entire Midlantic 145 00:08:54.710 --> 00:08:58.478 over in, what are we calling that? Riverdale, as opposed 146 00:08:58.494 --> 00:09:02.334 to Riverdale Park, Hyattsville, right by Town Center Market 147 00:09:02.502 --> 00:09:06.222 with lots of taps, lots of whiskey, beer 148 00:09:06.286 --> 00:09:09.902 here, beer to go. Anyway, I think both those things are 149 00:09:09.926 --> 00:09:13.210 pretty, pretty cool. Plus you throw Shannon in there. 150 00:09:13.670 --> 00:09:17.450 Julie and Jeff have been pretty busy over the last couple weeks. 151 00:09:17.990 --> 00:09:21.198 Yeah, I was going to say, in addition to the two 152 00:09:21.254 --> 00:09:24.950 fitty beer, we're going to see a checks in 153 00:09:24.990 --> 00:09:28.758 logger for Hill East Burger, which I was actually texting 154 00:09:28.854 --> 00:09:32.566 Joe hog smoker Newman about as he goes 155 00:09:32.598 --> 00:09:36.390 by in his email. And Joe has been, you 156 00:09:36.430 --> 00:09:40.102 know, cooking up some fine pork for years. Way back in the day, a 157 00:09:40.126 --> 00:09:43.798 decade ago, when I used to work at DC Brow, Joe had the sloppy mama's 158 00:09:43.814 --> 00:09:47.046 food truck. Now he's the brick and mortar in Arlington. We have Hill East 159 00:09:47.078 --> 00:09:50.808 Burger on the hill and they're going to have a checks 160 00:09:50.824 --> 00:09:54.120 in lager, which, you know, if you don't know anything about Czech 161 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:57.720 immigration patterns, at one point in time, Texas had a ton of 162 00:09:57.760 --> 00:10:01.352 Czechs. They have since become Czechs. It's a wonderful blend 163 00:10:01.416 --> 00:10:05.256 where people find similarities between Tejano culture 164 00:10:05.288 --> 00:10:08.856 in Texas and the Czech's love for pulled 165 00:10:08.888 --> 00:10:12.600 pork, barbecue beef, you know, Texas style barbecue. 166 00:10:12.680 --> 00:10:16.290 So Julie and Jeff at Denison's have been 167 00:10:16.330 --> 00:10:19.826 busier than ever. Shout out to them. And 168 00:10:19.978 --> 00:10:22.706 Emily, the three co owners at 169 00:10:22.858 --> 00:10:26.434 Denizens. I just want to 170 00:10:26.522 --> 00:10:30.210 ask Shannon on, on this podcast 171 00:10:30.290 --> 00:10:34.098 if she would please, for the love of everything holy 172 00:10:34.114 --> 00:10:37.458 and delicious, to bring 173 00:10:37.594 --> 00:10:40.482 the Brussels sprout chips to 174 00:10:40.586 --> 00:10:44.270 Tennyson's, please. Those are my favorite things, 175 00:10:44.630 --> 00:10:48.334 period. On the Brooklyn's finest menu. I would eat 176 00:10:48.462 --> 00:10:51.598 hordes of those. I'm sure no one wants to be around me after I eat 177 00:10:51.614 --> 00:10:55.130 them, but I love those so much. 178 00:10:55.750 --> 00:10:59.534 Randy, this is a beer podcast, not a what I had for dinner 179 00:10:59.582 --> 00:11:03.006 tonight podcast. Now granted, I did have Brussels for dinner. 180 00:11:03.118 --> 00:11:06.542 However, that being said, we are using our platform to 181 00:11:06.566 --> 00:11:10.382 lobby for Brussels. What else is coming down the pike? What are we 182 00:11:10.406 --> 00:11:14.160 looking forward to? Yeah, in March. Well, I want 183 00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:17.984 to shout out real quick because it is obviously women's month 184 00:11:18.152 --> 00:11:21.664 and you know, we just wrapped up our 185 00:11:21.832 --> 00:11:25.440 women in craft beverage panel at Lost Generation this 186 00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:29.184 past week and we had an amazing 187 00:11:29.232 --> 00:11:32.752 time. We raised over $3,000 for the Michael James Jackson 188 00:11:32.816 --> 00:11:36.240 Foundation. But riding on that, those 189 00:11:36.280 --> 00:11:40.032 curtails, I want to make 190 00:11:40.056 --> 00:11:42.260 sure everyone knows of the upcoming 191 00:11:42.920 --> 00:11:46.672 women's beverage event. I wouldn't call it a 192 00:11:46.696 --> 00:11:49.952 panel because it's more of like a round robin, speed dating kind of 193 00:11:49.976 --> 00:11:53.664 situation. This will be the fourth anniversary of 194 00:11:53.672 --> 00:11:56.700 this event. At Other Half this year, 195 00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.760 we have our dear friend Ann Jo of Lost 196 00:12:01.800 --> 00:12:05.056 Iteration. We have Samantha Newman. She is from 197 00:12:05.128 --> 00:12:08.832 Premium. Actually, we haven't had a distributor on before, so 198 00:12:08.856 --> 00:12:12.140 that's going to be interesting and fun. We have 199 00:12:12.180 --> 00:12:15.388 Megan Hereford from Daring Wine 200 00:12:15.484 --> 00:12:18.780 Insider. I'm very, very intrigued to meet her. 201 00:12:18.900 --> 00:12:22.380 Monica Pierce from 10th Ward Distilling. So we're representing 202 00:12:22.460 --> 00:12:25.884 the awesome distilling scene in Frederick, 203 00:12:25.932 --> 00:12:29.276 Maryland. We have Imani 204 00:12:29.308 --> 00:12:32.524 Collier. We love Imani Urban Garden. We have Alyssa 205 00:12:32.572 --> 00:12:36.044 Hackbarth, formerly of lion. She's doing some beverage 206 00:12:36.092 --> 00:12:39.610 consulting. Lauren Carey, our dear, dear friend 207 00:12:39.730 --> 00:12:43.466 and member. DC Beer member from Dynasty. And representing 208 00:12:43.498 --> 00:12:46.698 Pink Boots. And to round us out, we have Julie 209 00:12:46.714 --> 00:12:50.170 Tridente. I'm hoping I'm pronouncing that right from 210 00:12:50.210 --> 00:12:53.850 Precarious Beer Project, which if you recall was our 211 00:12:53.890 --> 00:12:57.338 beer of the month Kung Fu Kittens for February. 212 00:12:57.514 --> 00:13:01.146 I also want to give a shout out to our friend and member, 213 00:13:01.218 --> 00:13:04.980 Nick Gardner. He runs the store Choice Wine and Beer over 214 00:13:05.020 --> 00:13:08.532 in Wheaton and he's donating half of the 215 00:13:08.556 --> 00:13:12.292 profits from the beer or Brewery of the 216 00:13:12.316 --> 00:13:15.844 Month, which is Denizens to the local Pink Boots 217 00:13:15.892 --> 00:13:19.028 chapter. So if you want to support local, 218 00:13:19.164 --> 00:13:23.012 like micro local, go 219 00:13:23.036 --> 00:13:26.804 support Choice Wine and Beer and buy some Denizens and 220 00:13:26.892 --> 00:13:30.730 he'll donate two Pink Boots. So I'm, I'm loving this. 221 00:13:30.770 --> 00:13:34.282 I'm, I'm, I'm feeling the love and I hope we keep spreading that 222 00:13:34.386 --> 00:13:38.042 for reals. We're gonna do the compliment sandwich thing 223 00:13:38.066 --> 00:13:41.710 again here. We just talked about a bunch of really, really cool stuff. 224 00:13:42.050 --> 00:13:45.834 Here comes the bummer stuff. Ashburn. And I 225 00:13:45.842 --> 00:13:49.626 guess Middleburg, Virginia's Old Ox Brewing is gonna 226 00:13:49.658 --> 00:13:53.114 close after 10, 11 years in business. 227 00:13:53.282 --> 00:13:56.841 Their last day, the weekend, April 228 00:13:57.037 --> 00:14:00.358 5, 2025. Their lease is 229 00:14:00.414 --> 00:14:04.102 up. They tried to find a buyer. If 230 00:14:04.126 --> 00:14:07.846 you recall, it's a family affair at Old Ox. You got 231 00:14:07.918 --> 00:14:11.750 Papa, you got Marianne, and then you got Chris and 232 00:14:11.790 --> 00:14:15.238 Kristen, the younger ones. The parents 233 00:14:15.334 --> 00:14:19.142 retired a couple years ago. There was an attempted merger 234 00:14:19.206 --> 00:14:23.012 acquisition with Silver Branch that didn't quite work out. The 235 00:14:23.036 --> 00:14:26.628 lease is up. They tried to find a buyer. They thought they 236 00:14:26.684 --> 00:14:30.500 found one, but then the landlord went and signed another tenant to take 237 00:14:30.540 --> 00:14:34.180 over their lease. And so that's probably it for 238 00:14:34.220 --> 00:14:37.892 Old Ox. It's definitely it in its current space 239 00:14:37.996 --> 00:14:41.684 in Ashburn. And that's probably it for Old Ox, period. 240 00:14:41.852 --> 00:14:44.760 Unless we see something like Calvert, 241 00:14:45.260 --> 00:14:48.964 where someone Buys the brands, the recipes, the intellectual 242 00:14:49.012 --> 00:14:52.746 property and brews those beers elsewhere. 243 00:14:52.938 --> 00:14:56.490 I just want to give a shout out to the Burns family. I met 244 00:14:56.530 --> 00:15:00.042 them initially at Churchkey for the Old Ox launch. 245 00:15:00.226 --> 00:15:03.770 They are lovely, wonderful people. I want to give a shout out to 246 00:15:03.810 --> 00:15:07.482 Black Ox again. Piggyback on Brandy's dark beer season. 247 00:15:07.586 --> 00:15:11.418 A porter with a little bit of a rye snap to it. Just a really, 248 00:15:11.474 --> 00:15:15.130 really nice beer. I don't love lactose in 249 00:15:15.170 --> 00:15:18.782 beers. I always made room for the holiday 250 00:15:18.846 --> 00:15:22.270 season for Kegnog. I really like that 251 00:15:22.310 --> 00:15:26.062 beer, even if I only wanted it like one once a year. I 252 00:15:26.086 --> 00:15:29.630 thought it was very well put together. A really effective beer. 253 00:15:29.790 --> 00:15:33.358 And of course, they've got Festival, the Cherry Saison. 254 00:15:33.454 --> 00:15:36.574 That's the official beer of the National Cherry Blossom 255 00:15:36.622 --> 00:15:40.382 Festival. So thank you, Old Ox. Send them 256 00:15:40.406 --> 00:15:44.208 out with a bang. Branded that Black Ox. That is such 257 00:15:44.264 --> 00:15:48.016 a good beer. For real. Like, the thing is, 258 00:15:48.088 --> 00:15:51.728 I don't think I saw it too much in D.C. but that is a 259 00:15:51.784 --> 00:15:54.960 fantastic beer and the 260 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:58.672 Kegnog is really, really awesome. I remember when they changed the 261 00:15:58.696 --> 00:16:02.336 cans, the can art, and I was like, wait, where'd it go? Well, we've 262 00:16:02.368 --> 00:16:06.060 had quite a week, haven't we, with Tipo Pils day 263 00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:10.308 at Shelter, Churchkey and Rustico. And then outside 264 00:16:10.364 --> 00:16:14.004 of the quintessential Italian style pilsner Tipo Pils, 265 00:16:14.132 --> 00:16:17.652 we had Sierra Nevada running a 266 00:16:17.676 --> 00:16:21.396 Bigfoot event the same night we released our 267 00:16:21.468 --> 00:16:24.628 Senate Bach beer at the Heurich House 268 00:16:24.628 --> 00:16:28.180 Museum. So, Jake, that would be the niceness. That would be the nice, 269 00:16:28.260 --> 00:16:32.052 fluffy bottom of your compliment sandwich. You 270 00:16:32.076 --> 00:16:35.646 can go ahead and talk more shit, but I think we've picked 271 00:16:35.678 --> 00:16:38.750 ourselves up from seeing the next closing of 272 00:16:38.790 --> 00:16:42.382 2025. I'll go ahead and preempt you 273 00:16:42.406 --> 00:16:46.158 by saying in the article you wrote. Check out dcbeer.com 274 00:16:46.294 --> 00:16:50.142 to see Jake's most recent piece, which he says, 275 00:16:50.166 --> 00:16:53.550 you know, there were some leases signed in 2015 and 276 00:16:53.590 --> 00:16:56.622 2016, so this will not be our last brewery 277 00:16:56.686 --> 00:17:00.182 closing. Certainly not before 2016. 278 00:17:00.371 --> 00:17:04.180 2026, and probably not before 2025 is up. 279 00:17:04.300 --> 00:17:07.600 On that note, Jake, what do you got for us? 280 00:17:07.980 --> 00:17:11.636 We have a dope ass woman who's 281 00:17:11.668 --> 00:17:15.188 our guest on the show tonight. 282 00:17:15.364 --> 00:17:19.092 Brandy. Take it away. All right. And Cho, 283 00:17:19.236 --> 00:17:22.868 welcome back to the D.C. beer Show. I 284 00:17:22.924 --> 00:17:26.244 know you, I see you all the time and I adore your 285 00:17:26.332 --> 00:17:27.520 lovely face. 286 00:17:29.950 --> 00:17:33.734 Hi, Brandy. Thanks for having me on. Yeah. 287 00:17:33.782 --> 00:17:37.446 What you drinking? Do you have something in your hand? Oh, I should. 288 00:17:37.518 --> 00:17:40.902 You know, I meant to and I. Right now I have water, but I am 289 00:17:40.926 --> 00:17:44.662 about to after this. Go get our Kolsch that 290 00:17:44.686 --> 00:17:48.502 just got released and go up to our. Yeah, a 291 00:17:48.526 --> 00:17:52.150 little patio area after this and enjoy the 60 degree weather. 292 00:17:52.230 --> 00:17:55.734 Really excited. Yeah, it's, it's, it's 293 00:17:55.782 --> 00:17:59.622 patio weather time. Which is perfect because for those who may 294 00:17:59.646 --> 00:18:03.222 not know, Lost Generation has a cute little patio. 295 00:18:03.366 --> 00:18:07.158 You guys got that last year, right? Yeah, we did, we did. 296 00:18:07.214 --> 00:18:09.370 Yeah. It was excited. 297 00:18:11.470 --> 00:18:15.302 It's, it's so surprising how excited people get. 298 00:18:15.326 --> 00:18:19.010 I mean, it's, it's a tiny little space that can fit like 40 people. 299 00:18:19.360 --> 00:18:23.160 We just put some Astroturf out there and some tables and it 300 00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:26.584 is like really cute how excited people get 301 00:18:26.672 --> 00:18:30.152 for any sort of green space. So that 302 00:18:30.176 --> 00:18:33.512 patio gets packed full of dogs and kids and it's 303 00:18:33.576 --> 00:18:37.352 wild in the best way. So I'm super excited for our patio 304 00:18:37.416 --> 00:18:40.856 season again. Yeah, today is the day, but it's 305 00:18:40.888 --> 00:18:44.568 Tuesday, so you're not technically open today. So folks are just going to walk 306 00:18:44.624 --> 00:18:48.472 by with cloudy faces as they walk by lost narration off the 307 00:18:48.496 --> 00:18:51.908 Metro drinks trail. Not only is it Tuesday, but It's your 308 00:18:51.964 --> 00:18:55.284 birthday, Ms. Ann. We're gonna tell everybody in the Hawaii 309 00:18:55.332 --> 00:18:59.156 world. I know you're 310 00:18:59.188 --> 00:19:02.980 so excited. I'm excited. 311 00:19:03.060 --> 00:19:06.420 This is my one week of like binge eating and drinking 312 00:19:06.500 --> 00:19:10.292 that I allow myself to just go all out. So 313 00:19:10.316 --> 00:19:13.892 that is what I'm most excited about. And that's how I 314 00:19:13.916 --> 00:19:17.258 celebrate my birthday. But yeah, usually usually very 315 00:19:17.314 --> 00:19:21.066 private. But yeah, I'm excited 316 00:19:21.098 --> 00:19:23.790 to just go home. Everyone knows it's your birthday 317 00:19:26.770 --> 00:19:30.602 and I want you to update folks who may 318 00:19:30.626 --> 00:19:34.138 not get to Lost in very often. So recently 319 00:19:34.274 --> 00:19:38.010 I was in Virginia beach visiting my friend 320 00:19:38.050 --> 00:19:41.550 Jensen, our friend Jensen's new spot. So Jorn. 321 00:19:42.320 --> 00:19:46.040 And it was. We visited a couple places and we 322 00:19:46.080 --> 00:19:49.672 saw that Lost Generation beer was on the menu in Virginia Beach. 323 00:19:49.816 --> 00:19:53.464 I know you guys don't distribute very much really at all. 324 00:19:53.632 --> 00:19:57.320 And I'm curious if you have. It's Lost Generation 325 00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:00.980 has any plans of changing that anytime soon. 326 00:20:01.760 --> 00:20:05.140 We are. So we were lucky enough 327 00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:09.722 last year to get a grant from DC to 328 00:20:09.746 --> 00:20:13.546 expand our manufacturing. And it's pretty 329 00:20:13.578 --> 00:20:16.830 clutch for us because most businesses 330 00:20:17.330 --> 00:20:21.050 aren't able to expand until year five. They, you know, you 331 00:20:21.090 --> 00:20:24.570 just don't have the resources to reinvest in yourself like that. So this 332 00:20:24.610 --> 00:20:28.122 grant has been quintessential to. For us to expand 333 00:20:28.186 --> 00:20:31.350 while, you know, strike where the. While the iron's hot, if you will. 334 00:20:31.730 --> 00:20:35.150 So we are kind of testing the waters with Allied. 335 00:20:35.490 --> 00:20:39.030 Allied has. We absolutely adore them. They are 336 00:20:39.150 --> 00:20:42.930 great about getting us into craft beer accounts and 337 00:20:43.310 --> 00:20:47.110 Especially accounts that take care of their lines and we can 338 00:20:47.150 --> 00:20:50.934 trust that the quality control is there. So 339 00:20:51.022 --> 00:20:54.166 we have a select couple of accounts that they've 340 00:20:54.198 --> 00:20:57.782 chosen where we're kind of testing the market a little bit. And 341 00:20:57.806 --> 00:21:01.462 then this summer we plan on getting the 342 00:21:01.486 --> 00:21:04.850 tanks in and we should be able to brew by 343 00:21:05.230 --> 00:21:08.822 fall, honestly, which is with, with the new 344 00:21:08.846 --> 00:21:12.358 tanks, I should say, which is super exciting 345 00:21:12.454 --> 00:21:16.262 because that is when we will. We plan to distro a lot more, 346 00:21:16.366 --> 00:21:20.214 especially within D.C. you know, we, we don't distro a 347 00:21:20.222 --> 00:21:23.410 lot in D.C. yet, but 348 00:21:23.710 --> 00:21:27.462 D.C. try. We don't distro at all in Maryland 349 00:21:27.526 --> 00:21:30.662 yet, but we're going to start, you know, getting into Maryland 350 00:21:30.726 --> 00:21:33.890 territory and, 351 00:21:34.270 --> 00:21:37.974 and then. Yeah, and then, and see where we go from there. Start with Montgomery 352 00:21:38.022 --> 00:21:40.970 county and then maybe like move north upwards. 353 00:21:41.550 --> 00:21:45.142 But we're super excited to start expanding a little 354 00:21:45.166 --> 00:21:48.966 bit. Allied donated recently a f 355 00:21:49.038 --> 00:21:52.742 ton of beer to our silent auction for the women's panel that we 356 00:21:52.766 --> 00:21:56.442 just had last Tuesday at Lost Generation. And I 357 00:21:56.466 --> 00:21:59.946 know that event is already in the past and we're looking for 358 00:22:00.098 --> 00:22:03.882 forward to other events coming up, which you'll also be a 359 00:22:03.906 --> 00:22:07.370 part of. But would you like to reflect very quickly 360 00:22:07.450 --> 00:22:11.082 on last Tuesday's women's panel because that 361 00:22:11.106 --> 00:22:14.858 was wild. That was crazy. It was one of the best 362 00:22:14.914 --> 00:22:18.310 events I've ever been to and I've seen 363 00:22:18.770 --> 00:22:22.522 and huge shout out to you. You are a one woman show there. I 364 00:22:22.546 --> 00:22:25.914 cannot believe how much you had accomplished. But the, 365 00:22:26.082 --> 00:22:29.642 everything from the panel itself, just a really 366 00:22:29.746 --> 00:22:33.482 impressive lineup of females in our industry. 367 00:22:33.586 --> 00:22:37.178 I mean, just as people in our industry. 368 00:22:37.314 --> 00:22:40.874 It was a really impressive crowd. So we knew it was going to be a 369 00:22:40.882 --> 00:22:44.602 great panel to begin with. But the thing that I really took away from 370 00:22:44.626 --> 00:22:47.834 that is every 371 00:22:47.922 --> 00:22:51.748 person had an incredible, incredibly inspirational thing to say. 372 00:22:51.884 --> 00:22:55.572 And I, you know, it's, I like sat in the back and I was 373 00:22:55.596 --> 00:22:59.124 joking. I, like, I was drink, I was getting drunk in the back and 374 00:22:59.212 --> 00:23:02.372 just kind of like looking at the panelists and being like, I need to be 375 00:23:02.396 --> 00:23:04.480 better. I want to be better. I want to be like. 376 00:23:06.540 --> 00:23:10.356 It was, it was, I mean, like just. It brought tears to my eyes 377 00:23:10.388 --> 00:23:13.956 to see like how, how, how much, 378 00:23:14.028 --> 00:23:17.320 how, how, how much we've progressed 379 00:23:17.660 --> 00:23:21.332 in terms of our small little industry community that we've built. And 380 00:23:21.356 --> 00:23:24.788 then to see the inspiration behind it 381 00:23:24.844 --> 00:23:28.532 and being able to relate and, you know, there were laughs, there 382 00:23:28.556 --> 00:23:32.292 were, you know, feels. There were like few tears. 383 00:23:32.356 --> 00:23:35.652 Yeah, feel. So many feels. And it was, it was such an amazing, 384 00:23:35.716 --> 00:23:39.124 amazing panel. I hope, I hope we can do it 385 00:23:39.132 --> 00:23:42.932 again. Every year we raised so much money for the MJJ 386 00:23:42.996 --> 00:23:46.762 foundation, which, you know, kind of was, you 387 00:23:46.786 --> 00:23:50.346 know, speak to what we were, what we want to grow, see 388 00:23:50.418 --> 00:23:54.250 grow in our industry. And that's more diversity and 389 00:23:54.290 --> 00:23:57.882 more various voices heard in our 390 00:23:57.906 --> 00:24:01.338 industry. And you're going to be on the upcoming Other Half 391 00:24:01.394 --> 00:24:04.970 panel on the 20th. This is actually your second time being on this 392 00:24:05.010 --> 00:24:08.842 panel. You have a, you have a following and you may not know 393 00:24:08.866 --> 00:24:12.040 it, but everyone adores you, trust me. 394 00:24:12.500 --> 00:24:15.080 Oh, that's, I mean, 395 00:24:16.020 --> 00:24:19.772 that's really sweet. I just, you know, I think the Other Half 396 00:24:19.796 --> 00:24:23.596 panel was so much fun and it's so different 397 00:24:23.668 --> 00:24:27.340 in that it's not your traditional, like speaker versus 398 00:24:27.420 --> 00:24:31.132 audience panel. You know, you really get to connect with each individual 399 00:24:31.196 --> 00:24:34.396 person one by one. I'm curious your personal 400 00:24:34.468 --> 00:24:38.188 opinion with so many breweries closing. We just 401 00:24:38.244 --> 00:24:41.560 learned of two in the last two weeks. 402 00:24:43.380 --> 00:24:47.068 It, it seems like, I don't want to say the other breweries were doing 403 00:24:47.124 --> 00:24:50.364 something wrong because I, I'm not going to say that that's a very rude and 404 00:24:50.452 --> 00:24:54.140 probably untrue thing to say. But it seems like 405 00:24:54.180 --> 00:24:57.800 Lost, it is doing something very right because 406 00:24:58.340 --> 00:25:01.708 every time I go in there, you guys are slammed and most other 407 00:25:01.764 --> 00:25:05.266 breweries right now are struggling. And I'm not saying that you guys are, 408 00:25:05.308 --> 00:25:09.062 aren't like, have the best sales of your life. I'm sure you 409 00:25:09.086 --> 00:25:12.838 don't. But things have been really hard for all the other breweries. And I'm 410 00:25:12.854 --> 00:25:16.454 just curious what, what, how you're viewing 411 00:25:16.502 --> 00:25:20.150 this and what you think that you, you in Lost Generation 412 00:25:20.230 --> 00:25:23.814 are doing that maybe is slightly different that's keeping you 413 00:25:23.902 --> 00:25:27.670 in such good standing. Well, that's very, those 414 00:25:27.710 --> 00:25:31.170 are, that's very kind of you. Thank you for, for saying that. We, 415 00:25:32.320 --> 00:25:36.152 honestly, I think we, first of all, we do have the advantage of being the 416 00:25:36.176 --> 00:25:39.592 new kids on the block, though. When you're the new kid on the block, then 417 00:25:39.616 --> 00:25:42.340 you're popular and everybody wants to check you out. 418 00:25:43.280 --> 00:25:44.260 That said, 419 00:25:47.040 --> 00:25:50.824 we're very small, so we have a very small 420 00:25:50.912 --> 00:25:53.220 team. So we do 421 00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:58.434 keep our costs down in terms of community, 422 00:25:58.602 --> 00:26:02.322 trying to wear as many hats ourselves as possible in order to 423 00:26:02.346 --> 00:26:06.082 do so. And part of the reason is, you know, we like to keep the 424 00:26:06.106 --> 00:26:09.826 small team. We've always wanted to stay pretty small. We've never wanted to be 425 00:26:09.898 --> 00:26:13.378 the, you know, multimillion dollar conglomerate 426 00:26:13.474 --> 00:26:17.202 brewery. We were in it for the passion. We 427 00:26:17.226 --> 00:26:20.750 do it because we love it. But then also, you know, for us, 428 00:26:21.370 --> 00:26:25.088 we've always wanted to be very community focused. So what 429 00:26:25.144 --> 00:26:28.560 we do notice, you know, all of our neighbors, like, a 430 00:26:28.600 --> 00:26:32.272 majority of our success comes because the 431 00:26:32.296 --> 00:26:35.760 community loves us so much. I think they frequent. I mean, there are people who 432 00:26:35.800 --> 00:26:39.472 come four to five days a week, like, for the 433 00:26:39.496 --> 00:26:43.312 past three years, religiously. So that really 434 00:26:43.336 --> 00:26:47.168 helps keep our lights on. And we, you know, we give 435 00:26:47.224 --> 00:26:50.580 back as much as we wear most of our hats 436 00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:54.752 so that we can use as much funds as we can to give 437 00:26:54.776 --> 00:26:58.448 back to our community as possible. It's something that we learned 438 00:26:58.544 --> 00:27:02.140 actually, from Lagunitas. They did a fantastic job in 439 00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:06.752 really giving, donating a lot back to their community. And 440 00:27:06.776 --> 00:27:10.032 we saw what kind of outreach it did, how many people it 441 00:27:10.056 --> 00:27:13.888 touched, the culture that it 442 00:27:13.944 --> 00:27:17.392 provided. And so that is what we strive to 443 00:27:17.416 --> 00:27:21.252 do. We always have a. Like a charity collab. We 444 00:27:21.276 --> 00:27:24.804 try to do once every other month. We have a charity 445 00:27:24.852 --> 00:27:27.760 event once a month. You know, we. 446 00:27:29.260 --> 00:27:33.012 We provide space for, like, I mean, Eckington alone. Like, 447 00:27:33.036 --> 00:27:36.724 all of our regulars call us Eckington's living room because 448 00:27:36.892 --> 00:27:40.160 the. There's. There's even one chat that goes out where 449 00:27:40.700 --> 00:27:44.404 all they do is put up a bat signal. One person puts up a 450 00:27:44.412 --> 00:27:47.974 bat signal, and then, like, a group of, like, 20 will show up out of 451 00:27:47.982 --> 00:27:51.638 nowhere because they're just like, all right, it's time to go loft, then. 452 00:27:51.774 --> 00:27:55.622 And that's what it means. And so I 453 00:27:55.646 --> 00:27:59.170 think that's what contributes to our success. 454 00:27:59.710 --> 00:28:03.110 And then, of course, you know, Jared, my husband and co 455 00:28:03.150 --> 00:28:06.330 owner, I call him our creative genius. 456 00:28:06.830 --> 00:28:10.290 He's the brains behind all the beer and the art and 457 00:28:11.070 --> 00:28:14.596 anything that's beautiful inside the tap room is thanks to him. 458 00:28:14.668 --> 00:28:18.340 So, yeah, shout out to Jared. Jared makes some damn good 459 00:28:18.380 --> 00:28:22.132 beer, and I think he brews them specifically for me because he always be 460 00:28:22.156 --> 00:28:25.476 putting some mosaic hops in there. And I'm like, yes, Jared, thank 461 00:28:25.508 --> 00:28:29.280 you for me. I knew it. Sure does. 462 00:28:30.620 --> 00:28:33.668 Do you have any grand plans? Are you thinking ahead for your third 463 00:28:33.724 --> 00:28:37.412 anniversary? Oh, that's a great question. We 464 00:28:37.436 --> 00:28:38.560 have not. 465 00:28:41.420 --> 00:28:44.708 I'll be honest with you. We haven't even. We should start thinking about that. That's 466 00:28:44.724 --> 00:28:48.240 a reminder. I. We have not even started thinking about that 467 00:28:48.280 --> 00:28:51.340 yet. But we're. Every year. We manage 468 00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:55.280 every year. I think, you know, this is the best that we're going to do. 469 00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:59.040 This is. This party was amazing. How. How can we top this 470 00:28:59.080 --> 00:29:02.432 next year? And I think the past few years, we've been able to top it 471 00:29:02.456 --> 00:29:05.952 each year, so I hope this year is the 472 00:29:05.976 --> 00:29:09.728 same. We're. We're going to work on some cool collabs. As 473 00:29:09.784 --> 00:29:13.510 every as always, bring in some fun bands and 474 00:29:13.630 --> 00:29:17.382 I don't know, hopefully make it bigger and better. Yeah. Speaking of collabs and 475 00:29:17.406 --> 00:29:20.694 beer, what beers are coming down the pike in the next couple 476 00:29:20.742 --> 00:29:24.198 weeks? Oh, you know what? That is a great 477 00:29:24.254 --> 00:29:27.766 question. Well, a couple of nice, exciting ones. So 478 00:29:27.918 --> 00:29:31.350 we obviously just released our cult, which I think Ann had touched on. 479 00:29:31.390 --> 00:29:34.530 And had a fantastic cult service. Thanks for 480 00:29:34.910 --> 00:29:38.530 joining us. It was wonderful seeing you and 481 00:29:38.650 --> 00:29:42.178 but. We got a, our next up is.

Friday, but next and that's going to 485 00:29:54.106 --> 00:29:57.666 be what we're taking down to Maillard. Fest down in Norfolk, 486 00:29:57.698 --> 00:30:01.282 Virginia at Benchtop Brewing. And then 487 00:30:01.466 --> 00:30:05.282 after that we have one of our favorite beers 488 00:30:05.346 --> 00:30:08.910 for many reasons. It's called Where's Denali? It's a 489 00:30:09.820 --> 00:30:13.492 American pale ale with what. Used to be called 490 00:30:13.516 --> 00:30:17.348 Denali Hops and now it's called satana hops or Mount McKinley hops 491 00:30:17.364 --> 00:30:21.140 or whatever you want to call it. And Mosaic and 492 00:30:21.180 --> 00:30:24.548 such. But we take a lot of the. Proceeds and we, we 493 00:30:24.604 --> 00:30:28.280 fund the local. Dog parks here in the neighborhood. 494 00:30:28.860 --> 00:30:32.484 So it's a way of us raising. Money for Eckington 495 00:30:32.532 --> 00:30:35.956 Parks and Arts.

What you did with Lost Generation 544 00:33:34.516 --> 00:33:37.956 and the Women's Brew Culture Club and the panel for the Michael James 545 00:33:37.988 --> 00:33:40.840 Jackson foundation was tremendous. 546 00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:45.640 Happy birthday to you and thank you so much. 547 00:33:45.760 --> 00:33:49.384 Brandy. I do want to say one more thing about 548 00:33:49.472 --> 00:33:53.064 the fundraiser from Michael James Jackson foundation, and that's 549 00:33:53.112 --> 00:33:56.888 that $3,000 is a 550 00:33:56.944 --> 00:34:00.632 life changing amount of money for someone. It's the 551 00:34:00.656 --> 00:34:04.104 difference between going someplace and not going 552 00:34:04.192 --> 00:34:07.992 someplace. Where if you go to, say, GABF on 553 00:34:08.016 --> 00:34:11.532 a scholarship, you network, you meet people, 554 00:34:11.716 --> 00:34:15.356 things happen. It was just 555 00:34:15.428 --> 00:34:18.972 super, super cool to even play a small part in 556 00:34:18.996 --> 00:34:22.320 that. It's great. Let's do it again sometime. 557 00:34:22.740 --> 00:34:26.000 Let's. I cried. 558 00:34:28.180 --> 00:34:31.916 It was a lot of work, but I would do it in a heartbeat, again 559 00:34:31.988 --> 00:34:35.664 and again, because it really brought 560 00:34:35.712 --> 00:34:38.780 everybody together. The turnout was 561 00:34:39.640 --> 00:34:43.344 so heartwarming and it felt 562 00:34:43.392 --> 00:34:46.800 great. It felt powerful to have all those women in the room and 563 00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:50.688 everyone show up and support. And when I saw how much we raised, 564 00:34:50.784 --> 00:34:54.608 I was shocked because honestly, I wasn't going 565 00:34:54.664 --> 00:34:58.464 into it expecting to race that much. And 566 00:34:58.632 --> 00:35:02.442 huge, endless love to all of 567 00:35:02.466 --> 00:35:05.690 our sponsors. Who donated things to the 568 00:35:05.730 --> 00:35:09.130 auction? Everyone. Everyone had a great time bidding. 569 00:35:09.210 --> 00:35:12.618 And I'm so thankful because without you, we couldn't have done that. 570 00:35:12.674 --> 00:35:16.506 And I know it's hard to give things right now. Businesses 571 00:35:16.538 --> 00:35:19.850 are hurting. But every little bit that you 572 00:35:19.890 --> 00:35:23.354 gave helped us achieve this goal and to help someone else. 573 00:35:23.402 --> 00:35:27.116 And I'm going to cry just thinking about it. But thank you. Thank you, thank 574 00:35:27.148 --> 00:35:30.364 you, thank you, thank you. That's all I have to say. Thank you. I encourage 575 00:35:30.412 --> 00:35:33.724 you all, as the weather changes, to walk the Met Beer 576 00:35:33.772 --> 00:35:37.120 Trail and patronize your local breweries. 577 00:35:37.460 --> 00:35:40.960 That will be a happy day indeed. 578 00:35:42.020 --> 00:35:45.388 Remember, sign up for your passport, get rewards, get 579 00:35:45.444 --> 00:35:49.212 swag, get a T shirt, get a cool beer holder thing that 580 00:35:49.236 --> 00:35:52.978 can hold a glass while you bike, Please don't drink. 581 00:35:53.074 --> 00:35:56.690 And then bike all over the place. Be 582 00:35:56.730 --> 00:36:00.242 smart about it. And again, we are at dcbeer 583 00:36:00.306 --> 00:36:02.801 across social media.
