Soulcraft Brewing: A Way of Life in Salida, Colorado

Welcome to Knoxville, Tennessee, where the beer flows just as easy as the country music, the whiskey, and the rolling hills. Where Will Rutemeyer finally realized his true calling to become a brewer. Where Balter Beerworks found its roots in classic brews, handcrafted foods, and community gatherings. This is a Will's story as much as it is Balter's story. For without the other, neither would be quite the same. And Knoxville wouldn't be either.Meet Will Rutemeyer from Balter BeerworksGrowing up in Chattanooga, Will's parent's were friends with the owners of Chattanooga Brewing Co. So at a young age, Will was exposed to the art of brewing. Not quite sure yet what path he wanted to follow, off to college young Will went, graduating with degree in hand to land himself in a corporate job hidden amidst the cubicles. Quickly learning that this was not the path he wanted to follow, he began his journey back to brewing. Crossing paths with another that was also looking to get into the brewery business, a new path was forged. One built on well-balanced classic beers to match the lifestyle that so many struggle to create. So while we all may be a bit out of balance when it comes to that ever elusive work/life balance, visiting Balter Beerworks in Knoxville, Tennessee, may just be the weight needed to bring us back to center. At least for that moment that we are enjoying the beers that pair well with the food while gathering with friends.Join us as we chat all the above and attempt to give you, our listeners, a bit of unsolicited advice about how to create a work/life balance that fits your lifestyle. Because balance in life, just as in beer, is never an equal weight of all the ingredients.Join us as we chat all the above and attempt to give you, our listeners, a bit of unsolicited advice about how to create a work/life balance that fits your lifestyle.

Balter Beerworks: Balanced Beers for a Not So Balanced Life

Work life balance - a difficult level to achieve. But those at Level Beer in Portland, Oregon, are well on their way to becoming over achievers. While they may not agree that they have found that sought after work life balance, they have found that balance in their beer, along with a unique take on leveling up. Level may mean equal but it also means fun. Especially when you take "level" and turn it into play. Video game themed beers, I mean. Level up with us as we chat work life balance, beer balance, and the ability to keep it all level until you can figure out that next level. In life or video games, we hope you level up, beer in hand!Meet Shane Watterson from Level BeerA passion for anything that ferments along with a love of beer is a great formula for becoming a brewer. And that is exactly what Shane Watterson became after finding his first job with the Deschutes Brewery team. Knowing that he ultimately wanted to open a brewery of his own, he teamed up with his other two partners, Jason Barbee and Geoffrey Phillips and did exactly that. Join us as we chat beer, work life balance (Is that really possible?) video game nostalgia and the joys of growing up in the 80s and 90s, and more.Click here for the full show notes including a few pics, quotes, and more stories.This is the sixth episode in our series of podcasts where we have partnered up with Malteurop Malting Company (MMC) to highlight some phenomenal craft breweries for American Craft Beer Week, May 16-22.Connect with Us:The Craft Beer Travel &amp; Adventure Podcast is hosted by Living a Stout Life, where we share stories, community, and resources for all your craft beer travel and adventure lifestyle needs.We would absolutely love it if you subscribe to the podcast and leave us a review.Subscribe to Living a Stout Life:NewsletterYouTubeFacebookInstagramBuy Us a Beer:Like our podcast?

Sherman Street Beer Co: Here's Your Sign

When you hear Kentucky, you probably think bourbon, but what you really should be thinking about is Kentucky beer...and bourbon. Oh, and you definitely can't forget the Kentucky Derby. And that, my dear beer loving friend, is what Gallant Fox Brewing Company in Louisville, Kentucky, is all about. Kentucky Beer, Kentucky Bourbon, and the Kentucky Derby. Welcome to the fourth episode in our series of podcasts where we have partnered up with Malteurop Malting Company (MMC) to highlight some phenomenal craft breweries for American Craft Beer Week, May 16-22.Meet Roger Huff from Gallant Fox Brewing CoRoger Huff and his business partner, Patrick Workman came together over some serious homebrewing. Combining that with their love of Kentucky, Gallant Fox Brewing Co became a reality in 2020.But they did not want to just sell beer. They wanted to give their visitors a true Kentucky experience. And with Roger's love of Kentucky bourbon and his extensive collection of many bottles, it was quite easy to add a bourbon bar to accompany the brewery. Keeping with the Kentucky proud theme, the name was a given. Not sure how that fits into Kentucky? You'll have to listen to find out more. And not only do we talk about Gallant Fox, and while we do get a little deep into the woods about distribution and expansion, we have some fun with the Kentucky Derby and definitely the bourbon. When in Rome, so the saying goes. So, when in Kentucky we have to talk a bit about the bourbon, and Roger even gives out some tips on what bourbons to buy. Yes, his business is all about brewing beer, and at Gallant Fox, they brew some some damn good ones, but who doesn't love a good bourbon, just as much? Some even more. And think about this - Kentucky bourbon means barrels. Kentucky barrels translate beautifully into Kentucky beer. Roger's passion for what he does is evidenced through a smile you can hear and feel. It's palpable. Grab your favorite beer (or bourbon) and settle in for some good Kentucky conversation.Click here for the full show notes including a few pics, quotes, and more stories.Connect with Us:The Craft Beer Travel &amp; Adventure Podcast is hosted by Living a Stout Life, where we share stories, community, and resources for all your craft beer travel and adventure lifestyle needs.We would absolutely love it if you subscribe to the podcast and leave us a review.

Blending Culture with Jade Mountain Brewing Company

It all started with a hot springs swim beach in New Zealand and a headache like none he had ever had before, a full-time sailing dream put on hold, maybe to never happen again. Boats run aground more often than we all might think. Then there are other things that run aground symbolically. Things like engine problems causing you to be stuck in a marina for two months. Things like high winds causing 13 foot high waves resulting in a call to the Coast Guard.Full-time sailing can do that to you. And you just go with the flow. Buck up and learn from all of it. It's a part of life, running aground. But running aground because of a brain tumor? Now that is not a normal part of full-time sailing, let alone just life in general.Meet Danielle and ConorIf you remember, we spoke with Danielle and Conor back in late 2020 right before they were quitting their jobs and getting ready to move onto their sailboat in New Zealand. Click here to listen to their introductory story. They were so excited for the adventures that lay ahead. They had a business venture - documenting everything within their sailing lives, including beer of course, and their dog Pivo. They successfully started Sailing Pivo on YouTube, and to this day, sailing or not, it is still going strong.But then life as they knew it, after only a few short months sailing full-time, came to a screeching halt.From Full-time Sailing to a Brain TumorThis is their story of their struggles when it occurred for the first time before they knew what was going on, throughout the entire ordeal including brain surgery, as well as afterwards as they try to heal and build a new life. One that no longer involves full-time sailing, their mutual long-time dream.When it comes to a brain tumor, everything changes. Not just perspective on life, but who you are can change, too. Not because of the different perspectives but because the brain physiologically changes the way you think and react to life.We talk sailing and beer, of course. But more importantly, we delve deeper into how Danielle and Conor have coped with such a drastic shift in their lives. They are still learning how to grasp the severity of all that took place over the last year. And still learning how to adapt.Not only did Conor have a brain tumor, but they also had to transition from full-time sailing life to a "normal" life in a house with a "normal" job. And both of them are looking at this transition differently.But they are both also positive about their future. It may be different than what they were planning on, but really, when does life ever go how we expect it to go?Click here for the full show notes including a few pics, a few quotes, and more stories.Stay Connected with Sailing PivoDanielle found herself picking up her camera throughout everything. It was her journal. She documented their story with compassion, emotion, and integrity. Be sure to subscribe to Sailing Pivo on YouTube. There are no plans of that going away anytime soon.

Brain Tumor Pushes Full-time Sailing Dream Aground

Welcome to Mikerphone Brewing where music and beer come together seamlessly. Located just outside of Chicago in Elk Grove Village, this brewery crafts all genres of beer alongside all genres of music.Welcome to the second episode in our series of podcasts where we have partnered up with Malteurop Malting Company (MMC) to highlight some phenomenal craft breweries for American Craft Beer Week, May 16-22.Meet Mike Pallen from Mikerphone BrewingStarting out in the music and marketing world, Mike still always had an inkling towards brewing. His dad worked at Miller when Mike was young, and therefore, told him to not do beer, and to go to college instead.Mike listened but still got into home brewing in college and then graduated from that into home brewing out of his basement, ultimately making the jump to his own brewery, Mikerphone.Music and Beer And if brewing had a hold on him, music did even more. Combining his two passions together, music and beer, Mikerphone Brewing just outside of Chicago became real. But not by any traditional means. Well, sorta. He did start home brewing out of his basement. But on the other hand, he also won highly acclaimed awards for his beer before he even had a location. He did finally have a brewing business, but no home for said brewery.This is Mike's story of how he and his wife, Lisa, brought two passions together to create one. Join us as we chat music, beer, musical marketing, life and parenting skills, Malteurop malts (they're sexier than you think), and so much more.The Riney-Hiney Purity Law and MalörtPlus, you won't want to miss our announcement at the beginning about Beer Now, nor our hilarious (we think so) conversation about the riney-hiney purity law (made up word) but it deserves to be a little goofy, because we got a little goofy trying to pronounce it and decipher it. Come on beer geeks, you know what we're talking about.But do you know Malört?

Craft Beer and Music: The Soundtrack of Life

When you know you are an entrepreneur and plan on opening a business, and then fall in love with brewing and the community that surrounds it, there's nothing left to do, but open a brewery. And when your partner in life and business is a pilot, and your brewing style is to create small batch brews, again there's nothing left to do, but call said brewery, Pilot Brewing Company.Welcome to the first episode in our series of podcasts where we have partnered up with Malteurop Malting Company (MMC) to highlight some phenemonal craft breweries for American Craft Beer Week, May 16-22.Meet Rachael Hudson, the Pilot Behind the BreweryStarting in the service industry at 19 in a restaurant that served a lot of beers, Rachael quickly learned that she wanted to know more about craft beer and set her professional career in motion doing exactly that. Not only is this her story about rising up through the ranks, eventually opening up her own brewery in North Carolina, but this is also a story about education, community, and innovative practice in a world that needs all of the above.Join us as we chat about the story behind the name, the Cicerone Certification Program (Racheal is an Advanced Cicerone), Pilot's small batch system (Can you guess the name of it?), her love for community brewing, Pilot's Charity of the Month program, malts and ingredients, and much more. Pilot Brewing Company is truly a neighborhood brewery - the kind where everybody knows your name.Oh, and she has a podcast where she and her friend, Jen, "separate their listeners through this crazy world of beer knowledge to help them figure it out." The name? False Bottomed Girls. Do you get the pun?She's got great stories to tell behind the beer, but wait until you hear her response when asked about being a woman in the brewing industry. (I knew it was going to be snarky, and that's why I asked the question.) She is, after all, the pilot of the brewery, and a badass woman!Connect with Pilot Brewing CompanyPilot Brewing Company1331 Central Ave. #104Charlotte, NC 28205Pilot Brewing CompanyFacebookInstagramTwitterFalse Bottomed Girls PodcastMalteurop Celebrates Craft Breweries During American Craft Beer WeekThe annual nationwide event of American Craft Beer Week, May 16-22, 2022, celebrates small and independent craft breweries throughout the U.S. Malteurop (MMC) has joined forces with us at Living a Stout Life to highlight just a few of these remarkable breweries through their stories behind the beer.

Piloting Small Batch Brews with Pilot Brewing Company

Welcome to Elevation Beer Company, where the people and the beer elevate you to your next level, whatever that may be. Sound a bit philosophical? Well, it is. Conversing over a pint (or two or three) of beer sparks the embers of all types of conversations. And that is one reason why we love the craft beer scene. And why we love Elevation Beer Company in Poncha Springs, Colorado, just outside of Salida. Not only is it the perfect stopover on your way back from Monarch Mountain (it's also a great local hangout), but it is a place that encourages community and conversation over a damn good beer.Meet Some Faces Behind Elevation Beer CompanyCarlin Walsh and Christian Koch, co-founders and owners of Elevation met through their wives when they were living in Denver. Christian was a plumber and had a passion for homebrewing. Carlin was working at a fire department and had a background in business and finance. Enjoying a summer evening at Jazz in the Park in Denver, they were also enjoying a homebrew from Christian called Little Mo Porter. And as often happens around a beer, an idea was born.Andy, Elevation's self-described Keg Orator (he really does everything, except brew beer and finances) is their oldest employee (you get to decide what that means), and has a great deal of knowledge when it comes to Elevation Beer Company, Salida, Colorado, life in the mountains, and music. “If you like heavy metal and beer, we could be friends and talk for hours about either, over both.” (Andy) Um, we did, and it was fun!A Conversation About EverythingWe sat down with Andy and Carlin to chat about Elevation Beer, of course - their beer is made for the mountains. From being on the water to the snow, they have a beer for you, for every season. But this podcast episode was truly a myriad of conversation. Beer, most definitely, but we also covered economics, sustainable housing and jobs, tourism, collaborations, music, and so much more. So, if you love sitting around with a bunch of friends conversing about everything over a pint of beer, we've got you covered. Elevation Beer Company elevates the conversation with beer, life, and music, all with intention and purpose. Now that's a business that inspires.Click here for the full show notes including the beer we drank, a few pics, and more stories.Stay Connected with ElevationElevation Beer Company115 Pahlone PkwyPoncha Springs, CO719.539.5258info@elevationbeerco.comFacebookInstagramTwitterAnd if you want to really stay connected with Andy, he mentioned the band, Dillinger Escape Plan. You can find them on YouTube if you want to know more.

Elevating Beer, Life, and Music With Intention and Purpose

Beer has been creating community, laughter, inspiration, and just plain awesome stories for centuries. Join us as we talk with fellow craft beer lovers and adventurers about being entrepreneurs, avid hikers, crazy-ass mountain bikers, parents, home-brewers, volunteers, and anyone who is living their Stout Life. So grab your favorite craft beer, embrace your favorite person, and get ready to be inspired to live your Stout Life.We are Ken and April Pishna, and we created The Craft Beer Travel &amp; Adventure Podcast with Living a Stout Life to drink good beer, yes, but to also share the stories that inevitably arise from the craft beer community. Living and working in our RV while traveling the world in search of craft beer, adventures, and good humans, we bring creative thinkers and inspirational go-getters together around craft beer.  

Whether you're turning on a bike, a board, a kayak, your feet, or whatever gets you outdoors in Salida, when your turns are done, Jason, Nick, and the entire crew at Tres Litros Beer Company know your thirsty. They also know you deserve great beer in a cool atmosphere. Tres Litros is the place to go for your much needed reward after a day of hard work and hard play.Salida, Colorado: A True Mountain TownSalida, Colorado, isn't meant for wusses. And it ain't meant for those that love to stay inside. It's meant for those that get energized from Mother Nature. Those that love to work hard and play hard. And when you face plant on a board or dislocate your shoulder from a mountain bike fall, you get back up, dust yourself off, grab a beer, and do it all again. With a great brig grin on your face because you can.Meet Jason and Nick from Tres Litros Beer Co in SalidaCollege roommates in Boulder, these two found each other again over a dream of opening a brewery. Done with city living, they found Salida, Colorado. This mountain town of just under 7,000 people already had three breweries in the surrounding region, but knowing the lifestyle of the people here, Nick and Jason knew it could handle another. And in the middle of the pandemic, Tres Litros was born.So grab your three liters of beer and sit back (after a helluva day on the water or the mountains, of course) and enjoy our conversation with the two brilliant guys that decided Salida could handle another brewery. They, too, after all came here for the outdoor lifestyle and the beer that comes with it. They just now happen to be brewing that beer.Join us as we chat mountain biking, beer, life balance, cool beer stories, building a beer building (a brewery, duh!), mountain living, and more. It's always nice to know the people behind the beer you love.Click here for the full show notes including the beer we drank, a few pics, and more stories.Stay Connected with Tres LitrosTres Litros Beer Company118 North E StreetSalida, CO719.207.4519FacebookInstagramWe'll see you soon!If you're anywhere near Colorado, you must attend one of the best beerfests in Colorado, Collab Fest.  Click here for all the info and to buy tickets.And be sure to get your tics to Camp Carpe Diem held this year in Brevard, North Carolina, in October. Click here for all the info and to buy tickets.Connect with Us:The Craft Beer Travel &amp; Adventure Podcast is hosted by Living a Stout Life, where we share stories, community, and resources for all your craft beer travel and adventure lifestyle needs.We would absolutely love it if you subscribe to the podcast and leave us a review.

We loved hanging out chatting about beer and all that Salida has to offer. You may be the new kids on the block, but you fit right in, so if nobody knows, nobody will ever know. And you know that feeling that you got when you were pouring beer at a music festival? That's the feeling we get every time we get to sit down with people in the beer industry.

Oh, and Paul has visited nearly 100 countries, too! Join us as we have an enlightening, inspiring, and down-to-earth story digging deeper into who the Colorado Beer Guy really is.

467 Colorado Breweries, 97 countries, 40 days of beer, 1 Guy!

While nobody can 100% guarantee that River North has brewed the strongest beer in Colorado, it's quite certain that it is one of them. Clocking in at just above 22%, it's a mighty big beer, with mighty big flavor. And for those of you that may not know River North, this big beer isn't their first rodeo. They've been brewing big beers since they opened their doors in 2012. You may have heard of them from a couple of their well known barrel aged stouts: Nightmare Fuel and Mr. Sandman. But whatever beer they brew, from IPAs to Saisons to big beers, they do it well.The Strongest Beer in Colorado?And we got the chance to sit down with owner and founder, Matt Hess; head brewer, Matt Malloy; and marketing guru, Katie Schroepfer to talk beer...Big Beer! You'll also find out more about how River North Brewery came to fruition from the love of engineering and homebrewing and how much all of these great people absolutely love the community that is craft beer. Speaking of community, there's a great one where there located. Check out our RiNo tour to experience more great Denver breweries.We hope you have as much fun listening to this podcast about big beer, party beer, and the community that surrounds this brilliant industry, as we did recording it.

River North Brewery May Just Have the Strongest Beer in Colorado

When you think of Baja, you probably conjure up images of the mighty Pacific or the serene waters of the Sea of Cortez. Palm trees are abundant. Beach combing and whale watching, Corona in hand, are the only things are on your must-do list. Keep all that, but ditch the Corona. There's a damn good craft beer scene in Baja, and we're here to start you out on your journey to Baja beer with the Ensenada craft beer scene.Ensenada, Baja CaliforniaEnsenada is about a two hour drive South of the San Ysidro Border Crossing in Tijuana and San Diego, along Mexico Highway 1. With around 400,000 people, the location and the size make it the perfect stop for all the necessities before heading further south along the Baja California peninsula. So stock up. Fill the tank, buy the groceries, exchange the money. And don't forget the beer.Ensenada Craft BeerEnsenada has a blossoming craft beer scene, and in truth, they've had a pretty good one for the past few years. Even if you are only planning on heading across the border for a short jaunt into Tijuana, take a bit longer, head a couple more hours south. Ensenada is worth the time. Being a popular cruise ship stop, it has plenty of shopping, restaurants, bars, and nightlife to keep you entertained for days.But you all know our entertainment...breweries. And Ensenada does not disappoint. With brewpubs, beer bars, and craft breweries all over the city, you'll find yourself staying here longer than you thought. There are more to explore, but we've got a few breweries, an Anthony Bourdain recommended eatery, and a book to keep you company along the way to get you started.Agua Mala Cerveza ArtesanalCanneria CervezaCerveceria Transpeninsular Cerveceria WendlandtCerveceria Doble CLucky Irish Pub 4 (beer bar)La Guerrerense (food cart)How to Brew book by John PalmerAnd we talk about all of this, along with conversations with Nathaniel from Agua Mala Cerveza Artesanal and Paco from Canneria Cerveza. These two breweries are as different from night and day in their locations and size, but their approach to craft beer is the same - make great beer! Meet Nathanial from Agua MalaLocated just north of Ensenada, both unique in its shipping container home and in its creative brews, will not disappoint. With a name translating to bad water or jellyfish in English, and a marine biologist turned brewery owner, Nathanial will revel you with his tales of stingray stings, baby vomit, his passion for the craft, and love of Ensenada and nature. Meet Paco from Canneria CervezaFrom dreams of wanting to be the King of Mexico when he was little to owning a brewery when he was older, Paco from Canneria Cerveza has created a brewery full of art, community, inspiration, and good beer, one piece of equipment and humor at a time. He, along with other craft brewers in Baja, is helping to revolutionize the craft beer industry in Mexico.Stay ConnectedAgua Mala Cerveza ArtesanalCarretera Tijuana - Ensenada KM. 104Colonia El Sauzal de RodríguezC.P. 22760, Ensenada, B.

Baja Beer: The Ensenada Craft Beer Scene

Can you hear the music in the beer? Or maybe the better question is can you feel the music in the beer? Brewery owners are brilliant at creating taprooms and brewhouses that reflect their passions. Some of the best have personalities that inspire each customer to find their own perspective, allowing for unique expressions from every individual that encompasses the space. Ratio Beerworks is one of these breweries.Meet a Music Man...Or TwoOne of Denver's most loved breweries was born from this type of passion. Co-founders, Jason zumBrunnen and Scott Kaplan met in college at CU Boulder with a mutual love for both beer and music with both of them being involved with the punk rock genre. For those that know the punk rock scene, there's a lot of DIY to getting things done and playing the music you love wherever you can. That DIY work ethic has continued throughout both their lives and really came to fruition when Jason and Scott got "the band" back together again to open a brewery. In 2015, Ratio Beerworks opened their doors in Denver's River North District, but they were far from done.We had a chance to sit down for a moment with Jason at Ratio's media event promoting their second location in Southwest Denver. Taking over another beloved Denver brewery space, the now defunct Declaration Brewing on 2030 South Cherokee Street in the historic Overland neighborhood, Jason and Scott and the entire Ratio team have created a space that is clearly Ratio, but still with its own identity. It was that identity that we wanted to chat with Jason about, the one that was all about his passion for music. While we only chatted for about 10 minutes, we learned a lot about him and Ratio, and we hope you have a blast listening to his stories behind the music. Can You Hear the Music in the Fence?But we didn't stop there. Ratio has this undertone of music that many might miss, including their artwork throughout both locations. But it's one piece in particular, a fence actually, that is a true work of art...and music. We've always said that beer is about more than just the beer, and Charles Lefkowitz, a brilliant artist, chats with a group of us about the music behind the fence. So maybe the question isn't can you hear the music in the beer, maybe it's can you hear the music in the fence?

Can You Hear the Music in the Beer?

What do you get when a brewer and a chef come together? Sounds like a joke told in a bar, right? Wayne and Laura are no joke. And the beers they create are no jokes, either. Specializing in high ABV beers, you might think they have set out to get you snockered. Well, their goal is just the opposite of that. It's time to appreciate the finer side of craft beer. It's time to experience it.Meet Wayne and Laura of Burns Family Artisanal AlesLife lessons from brewing beer is a real thing, especially when you meet Wayne Burns (aka High Octane Wayne) and Laura Worley from Burns Family Artisan Ales. Partners in both business and life, these two met over a beer that was supposed to be coffee and, as they say, the rest is history. We'll let them tell that tale.Growing Up Alongside the BeerBoth have been in the industry for decades. And with that comes growth and experience. Their knowledge and palates have grown up as they have have gotten older and wiser. It's not usually polite to talk about age, but these two understand that with age comes deeper connections and wisdom. And believe me, their connections and wisdom show in their brilliant beverages from low ABV to high ABV beer styles and everything in between. Laura is both a chef and a brewer. Combine that with her Certified Cicerone status and Wayne's exceptional knowledge of both the art and science behind brewing (he's been doing it since 1992), the beer from Burns Family Artisan Ales isn't just beer. It's an experience.At Burns You Experience Beer!And Wayne and Laura are experts in making it an experience. Coming from their early stages of not really liking beers - which in the late 80s/early 90s were all basically industrial light lagers - to realizing that beer doesn't have to be a means to an end - drinking whatever to get drunk. Beer, like wine and fine spirits, can be exquisite and flavorful, made to be sipped. Brewed to be celebrated for whatever it is you have deemed a celebration. Exceptional Beers Needed NowYou won't want just any beer when listening to Wayne and Laura tell their stories. You'll want to find something that celebrates flavors and wakes your senses up. Something that makes you pay attention to what is going on in the bottle and creates a desire to experience beer, not just drink it. After you've found that perfect beer (just pay a visit to Burns and pick up a bottle to go - no searching needed), prepare for a conversation that will leave you feeling wise beyond your years. You may even find out that getting older isn't quite so bad, especially if you have the beers that age with you, celebrating every moment of life along the way.For complete show notes click here.Connect with Burns:Burns Family Artisan Ales2505 West 2nd Avenue, Unit 13Denver, CO 80219Burns Family Artisan AlesFacebookInstagramConnect with Us:The Craft Beer Travel &amp; Adventure Podcast is hosted by Living a Stout Life, where we share stories, community, and resources for all your craft beer travel and adventure lifestyle needs.We would absolutely love it if you subscribe to the podcast and leave us a review.

Finding Wisdom and Experiences in a Craft Beer Journey

Event planning can either be a pain in the ass, or it can be the time of your life. Or maybe it's something more in the middle. Whatever the moment brings, when planning an event that revolves around building community and passions, we're here to tell you that it's worth every moment of not knowing what you're doing, even when you think you know exactly what you're doing.What we are really trying to say is that even if you've never done something before, but you want to, then do it! Whether it's planning an event, starting a business, moving into an RV, or hitting up your first mountain biking trail, you'll never do it until you just do it! I think Nike's got something with that slogan.Event Planning Builds CommunityMany of you know that we teamed up with Debra and Barry from The Virtual Campground and hosted Camp Carpe Diem (CCD), a camp for RVers to get together in a beautiful place to meet fellow travelers, and to learn how to play again. It was a smashing success, but there were moments when we were all wondering what in the hell we were doing. So, in case you are looking to host an event or plan something you've never done before, we hope to offer some candid advice and inspiration that anyone can host a successful event and have fun doing so.So, yes, this podcast episode in its simplest form addresses how to plan an event. But in its true form, our conversations here are more about how to build a community, how to start something you've never done before, and how to do it all with a sense of humor. Create Life Around Your PassionsThe Virtual Campground and Living a Stout Life were both formed to create community, and through Camp Carpe Diem, we are doing just that! Building a kick-ass one, in fact! And with The Virtual Campground's passion for photography, and Living a Stout Life's passion for craft beer and mountain biking, it made sense that these passions should play a big role at Camp Carpe Diem.What this means to you, our listeners, is that your passions need to play a huge role in your life and your community, too. So whether, you're looking to plan an event or just be inspired by a couple of crazy middle-aged couples with a bit of gumption to follow their dreams, we hope you enjoy our banter, and learn a thing or two along the way. Sign up for Camp Carpe Diem 2022!Save the DateWhile the exact date and location aren't set yet, mark your calendars for mid-October 2022 and plan on being in the Asheville/Brevard area in North Carolina. Sign up now for CCD's newsletter to be sure you don't miss out when we announce the official date and location. For complete show notes click here.Connect With Us:The Craft Beer Travel &amp; Adventure Podcast is hosted by Living a Stout Life, where we share stories, community, and resources for all your craft beer travel and adventure lifestyle needs.We would absolutely love it if you subscribe to the podcast and leave us a review.

Planning Our First Event: Celebrations, Conundrums, and Community

Looking beyond the liquid, Jim and Jackie created the Craft Beer Marketing Awards (CBMAs) to recognize the art behind the beer. Craft beer lovers and marketing gurus themselves, it wasn't difficult to know that this was needed within the craft beer industry.Meet Jim and JackieStarting in the marketing field decades ago, Jim has long since been a fan of craft beer, and it made sense to jump into the craft beer marketing niche. Jackie has been in marketing for over ten years and has also been a long-time craft beer fan. When the two first met over a hops account, the magic of beer took over. Creating a plan on a napkin, the Craft Beer Marketing Awards were born, and as they say, "The rest is history!" Or maybe it's better to say, "They crushed it!"What are the Craft Beer Marketing Awards?Started in 2019, the Craft Beer Marketing Awards filled a gap within the craft beer awards world. The beer was awarded but what about everything else that makes this liquid our beloved beer?Think about it this way, when faced with a decision of what IPA to purchase out of a zillion different IPAs whether at the liquor store or a taproom, how do you decide which one to drink? Or as Jim likes to say, "What draws you into the beer when you're faced with the war at the cooler door?" That's what Jim and Jackie want to award, those designers, marketers, and creators that draw you into the beer or the brewery in the first place. The taprooms, the beer podcasts, the guerilla marketing campaigns, the unique flight presentations, the social media sites, the websites, the bottle and can designs, and so much more. The people behind the beer art crush it just like the brewers do, so let's award and recognize them for that...with a Crushie! How to EnterWhile you cannot yet nominate your favorite people or places, if you are involved in any kind of craft beer marketing, design, or creation, you can enter yourself or your brewery into one or more of the 40 categories of competition. How to Enter: CraftBeerMarketingAwards.comDeadline to Enter: January 14, 2022Awards Ceremony: Craft Brewers Conference, May 2022Connect with the CBMAsCraft Beer Marketing AwardsMarketing on Tap PodcastInstagramFacebookFor complete show notes click here.Connect With Us:The Craft Beer Travel &amp; Adventure Podcast is hosted by Living a Stout Life, where we share stories, community, and resources for all your craft beer travel and adventure lifestyle needs.We would absolutely love it if you subscribe to the podcast and leave us a review.

Looking Beyond the Liquid: Crushing it with the CBMAs

Griffin Claw Brewing Company, located in Birmingham and Rochester Hills, Michigan, was founded in 2013. Focusing on all things craft, including beer, spirits, ciders, and food, they are also well aware that these are just the beginning. This is their story of a worldwide open-ended beer collaboration created to raise awareness for individuals with Down syndrome. A craft beer recipe, so to say, on how to affect change.Meet Pat Craddock“In 2015, my wife and I were blessed with our second son, Ian, who was born with Down syndrome, and our world was flipped upside-down.”Meet Pat Craddock, the genius behind the TRI-21 Project. While he officially holds the title of CFO at Griffin Claw, like many others in the industry, Pat wears many hats. So it wasn’t a surprise to anyone when he came up with the idea to create a recipe and brew a beer to bring about awareness, acceptance, and funds to those with Down syndrome.What is Down Syndrome and the TRI-21 Project?There are three types of Down syndrome with the most common being Trisomy 21 (TRI-21). This is caused by an error in cell division resulting in an embryo with three copies of chromosome 21 instead of two. (National Down Syndrome Society)Inspired by Sierra Nevada’s Resilience project, getting critical funds to those impacted by California’s Camp Fire, Pat recently launched the TRI-21 Project in time for World Down Syndrome month in October with plans to continue up until World Down Syndrome Day on March 21, 2022.How Does the TRI-21 Project Work?The TRI-21 Project is simple. Any brewery can participate. Sign up. Download the recipe. Contact the vendors for discounts. Have a brew day. Download and print the artwork. Host a party to celebrate. Donate the funds. Finding support at GiGi’s Playhouse when his son was born, Pat realized they would be an excellent source to receive funds raised from this project. Founded in the Midwest by a parent who needed support, Nancy Gianni created that support for herself and others, emphasizing global acceptance of Down syndrome. GiGi's is now located in over 50 locations across the U.S. and one in Mexico, offering a multitude of resources to anyone impacted by Down syndrome.Where's the Beer?Griffin Claw Brewing Project currently has their TRI-21 Double New England Hazy IPA available in both taprooms. For the status on availability at other breweries, click here, and check back often.If you know of other breweries that may be interested in participating in this project, send them to tri21project.com or tag them on Instagram using #tri21project.Sign up to Brew for the TRI-21 ProjectBrewer or drinker, for all the information, including recipe, artwork, all the breweries participating, and more click here.To sign up now, click here.Tag your favorite brewery to let them know about this project using #tri21project or send them to tri21project.comCommunity and SustainabilityThe TRI-21 Project was born out of a desire to help a child, but it will endure out of a continued desire to build community.And Griffin Claw doesn't stop there. With great respect for the environment, as well as the community, their efforts also expand into sustainability. We were honored to get to talk to Pat about Ian and the rest of his family, the TRI-21 Project, their sustainability practices, and so much more. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.For complete show notes click here.Connect With Us:The Craft Beer Travel &amp; Adventure Podcast is hosted by Living a Stout Life, where we share stories, community, and resources for all your craft beer travel and adventure lifestyle needs.We would absolutely love it if you subscribe to the podcast and leave us a review.

Focusing on all things craft, including beer, spirits, ciders, and food, they are also well aware that these are just the beginning. </p><p>This is their story of a worldwide open-ended beer collaboration created to raise awareness for individuals with Down syndrome. A craft beer recipe, so to say, on how to affect change.</p><h2>Meet Pat Craddock</h2><p>“In 2015, my wife and I were blessed with our second son, Ian, who was born with Down syndrome, and our world was flipped upside-down.”</p><p>Meet Pat Craddock, the genius behind the TRI-21 Project. While he officially holds the title of CFO at Griffin Claw, like many others in the industry, Pat wears many hats. So it wasn’t a surprise to anyone when he came up with the idea to create a recipe and brew a beer to bring about awareness, acceptance, and funds to those with Down syndrome.</p><h2>What is Down Syndrome and the TRI-21 Project?</h2><p>There are three types of Down syndrome with the most common being Trisomy 21 (TRI-21). This is caused by an error in cell division resulting in an embryo with three copies of chromosome 21 instead of two. (<a href="https://www.ndss.org/about-down-syndrome/down-syndrome/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">National Down Syndrome Society</a>)</p><p>Inspired by Sierra Nevada’s Resilience project, getting critical funds to those impacted by California’s Camp Fire, Pat recently launched the TRI-21 Project in time for World Down Syndrome month in October with plans to continue up until World Down Syndrome Day on March 21, 2022.</p><h2>How Does the TRI-21 Project Work?</h2><p>The TRI-21 Project is simple. Any brewery can participate. <a href="https://tri21project.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sign up</a>. Download the recipe. Contact the vendors for discounts. Have a brew day. Download and print the artwork. Host a party to celebrate. Donate the funds. </p><p>Finding support at <a href="https://gigisplayhouse.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">GiGi’s Playhouse</a> when his son was born, Pat realized they would be an excellent source to receive funds raised from this project. Founded in the Midwest by a parent who needed support, Nancy Gianni created that support for herself and others, emphasizing global acceptance of Down syndrome. GiGi's is now located in over 50 locations across the U.S. and one in Mexico, offering a multitude of resources to anyone impacted by Down syndrome.</p><h2>Where's the Beer?</h2><p>Griffin Claw Brewing Project currently has their TRI-21 Double New England Hazy IPA available in both taprooms. For the status on availability at other breweries, <a href="https://tri21project.com/#consumer-section" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">click here</a>, and check back often.</p><p>If you know of other breweries that may be interested in participating in this project, send them to <a href="https://tri21project.com/#brewery-section" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">tri21project.com</a> or tag them on Instagram using #tri21project.</p><h2>Sign up to Brew for the TRI-21 Project</h2><ul><li>Brewer or drinker, for all the information, including recipe, artwork, all the breweries participating, and more <a href="https://tri21project.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">click here</a>.</li><li>To sign up now, <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdT3SsjQV7EgPdbUKM9d_7Ec-3och5cPXiQmm1f9FEIBt16Zw/viewform" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">click here</a>.</li><li>Tag your favorite brewery to let them know about this project using #tri21project or send them to <a href="https://tri21project.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">tri21project.com</a></li></ul><h2><strong>Community and Sustainability</strong></h2><p>The TRI-21 Project was born out of a desire to help a child, but it will endure out of a continued desire to build community.</p><p>And Griffin Claw doesn't stop there. With great respect for the environment, as well as the community, their efforts also expand into sustainability. We were honored to get to talk to Pat about Ian and the rest of his family, the TRI-21 Project, their sustainability practices, and so much more.

TRI-21 Project: A Recipe for Down Syndrome Awareness

When beer and Montana run in your blood and you are passionate about art and history, there's only one thing you can do. Open a Montana beer and brewery museum. And that is exactly what Steve "Bubs" Lozar did.Meet Steve "Bubs" LozarHis great grandfather was the first in his family to come to Montana from Slovenia in 1887, and as they say, the rest is history. Of course, there's more to it than that, but basically, that's what started it all. Beer has always been a part of Bubs' family. Dare I say, that it's genetic? Bubs might agree.But before he opened the Montana Beer and Brewery Museum, his creative side got him into education and then screen printing, which he still practices today. I'll let him tell you more about that story.U.S. Beer HistoryBeer history in Montana, like many states, goes back to the mining days, when railroads were being built and towns were popping up everywhere to support the workers that were coming by the droves to make money. Many of these workers were from different countries and different cultures, and they needed something that felt like home. Beer feels like home, and drinking one after a hard day's work with people that understood you was just about as important as family. Because of this, every ethnic group had its own brewery. A place to come home to. A community you belonged to. Bubs knew this from the beginning. It was built into his family, so when the opportunity arose for him to take possession of his great grandfather's old brewery memorabilia and the bartop itself, he jumped on it. Having been collecting breweriana for years, starting with old signs, cans, and bottles, he had to find a place to keep it all. And not just store it but display it.Housed above his screen printing shop in Polson, Montana, there's not a sign announcing it. But if you know it's there, and he happens to be around, stop on by. Bubs would love to share a beer or two with you while swapping stories about the magnificent history of beer and how it builds community, even today.Grab a beer, sit back, and be prepared to be transported back into a history of family and craft beer that can only be told by Bubs.For complete show notes and pictures, click here.Connect With Us:The Craft Beer Travel &amp; Adventure Podcast is hosted by Living a Stout Life, where we share stories, community, and resources for all your craft beer travel and adventure lifestyle needs.We would absolutely love it if you subscribe to the podcast and leave us a review.

When Beer Runs in Your Blood, You Open a Beer Museum

Living vicariously isn’t enough. I want to experience a place, meet a person or do a thing. Listening to the Pishnas, though, puts my mind right there. They’re the friends that know how to tell a story without making the rest of us feel left out. 

Don’t think you’ll be able to get away with sitting on the couch and calling it good, though. They will make you want to go to that place, get to know that person, visit that craft brewery or try that beer you’ve never heard of ‘til now.

Their blog is a great resource for people like my husband and I who travel and like to enjoy craft beer along the way. We’ve gotten good recommendations from them that we’d probably never have found on our own. I’m so glad to see them do a podcast &amp; share their personalities even more, in a format I can enjoy en route to the next destination.

*Almost* like hanging out with your coolest, most interesting friends
