Reissue – Leading Passionately for the Glory of God with Andy Coates

Lacie Bray

When Lacie Bray and Andy Coates, the founders of Ozark Beer in Rogers and Bentonville, Arkansas, began planning their brewery, it wasn’t yet legal to sell beer in Benton County and you could count the number of breweries in the state on one hand. But cultural and business changes were underway in the home of retail giant Walmart, and over the past decade they’ve grown in concert with the population and the culinary/hospitality world around them.   In this episode, Bray and Coates discuss:    Designing beer for a market new to craft beer Working through the challenges of difficult alcohol laws Dialing in flavors that are attractive and interesting without being overwhelming Ingredient choices for longevity in packaging Using the Edinburgh strain as their house ale strain The value of Chinook in amplifying the character of other hops Creating craft lager that’s distinctive without referencing European styles Finding language that makes craft styles appealing to broad audiences The construction of BDCS (Bourbon Double Cream Stout), their annual barrel-aged stout The importance of fresh barrels  and more.

210: Lacie Bray and Andy Coates of Ozark Beer Prove Accessibility Doesn’t Mean Sacrificing Character

Steven Hill

While corporate media talks about the deficit and cutting Social Security and Medicare, we turn the argument for cuts on its head. We focus on growing poverty among seniors and popular solutions. Instead of cutting social insurances, our guests call for expanding and improving them. Steven Hill (Steven-Hill.com) wrote in The Atlantic that Social Security is the most stable pension plan in today's economy and that there are ways to double Social Security benefits. This would bring more seniors to a comfortable level of retirement and would stabilize our economy through increased spending. Dr. Andy Coates, the current president of Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP.org), discusses improving and expanding Medicare to everyone as a way to address both the health care and economic crises.
