00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:12.160

00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:17.440
From snall from small neighborhood spots to big bustling brew houses.
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:18.879
We'll bring you along for the ride.
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:21.760
So grab a pint and join us on the brewery adventure.
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:23.039
Cheers.
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:25.519
Oh wait, bonk.
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:26.879
Okay, we're good.
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:28.079
Oh yeah.
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:28.960
Oh yeah.
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:31.519
Beer-flavored beer, my favorite.
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:32.960
I've needed this all day long.
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:33.840
Yeah.
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:36.560
Dan, we're at Wandering Leaf again.
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:36.960
We are.
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:38.240
Our home away from home.
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:43.280
Yeah, the unofficial but official uh home of the brewery adventure podcast.
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:43.840
It's true.
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:44.159
Yeah.
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:45.840
We're gonna get a little plaque on the wall.
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:48.479
Yeah, hopefully not right on the murals.
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:50.079
Okay, yeah, let's not ruin the mural.
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:51.039
We don't want to ruin it.
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:52.719
They've got a lot of beautiful murals here.
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:54.799
They really do, and a lot of beautiful plants.
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:56.000
Lots of plants.
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:58.240
It's a tropical paradise in here right now.
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:01.119
It is, both uh visually and temperature-wise.
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:05.760
I don't know what somebody is it Florida Man night here in the tap room?
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:07.840
Because it's all it's all full humid.
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:10.079
There's just a cue the crying baby.
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:10.879
Oh god.
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:13.680
Actually, Dan, I think we did hit like the baby event night.
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:15.680
It's supposed to be ending at 6 30.
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:16.000
Oh.
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:17.920
That's why I was like, oh yeah, that'll be perfect.
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:19.439
There's mahjong happening.
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:21.040
There's a lot of babies happening in here.
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:21.680
I know.
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:27.359
I figured the biggest noise we'll have to do with mahjong is the clickety clack of the little tiles.
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:33.200
Well, you're gonna deal with me being distracted because they were like teaching people how to play at the table that's right behind me.
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:33.439
Oh.
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:36.000
And so I've been like leaning, like, I'd I'd like to know.
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.359
I've only ever played mahjong on like a computer where you don't actually have to know what you're doing.
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:41.040
Yeah, it's like the matching one.
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:41.439
Yeah.
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:42.959
That's the more fun one.
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.120
My wife has a mahjong tile game.
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:47.040
She used to play with a group of other people.
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:47.439
Yeah.
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:49.120
And they were very serious about it.
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:49.680
It was funny.
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:50.400
It looks fun.
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:55.040
They would overtake my living room one night a month.
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:58.799
So I what I hear you saying is that I could just ask Karen to teach me how to play.
00:01:59.040 --> 00:01:59.920
She probably could.
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:05.280
And she has a big fancy official thing like the people behind you.
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:06.879
I mean, they're beautiful tiles.
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:07.200
Yeah.
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:07.920
But I don't know.
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:11.439
It kind of like looks like they're doing scrabble with symbols.
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:12.479
I don't know how to play.
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:13.919
We can put that on our to-do list.
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:14.319
Yes.
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:14.560
Right.
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:15.599
Learn mahjong.
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:20.639
Then we'll create a spin-off, just like Frasier, except it'll be the Mahjong adventure.
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.199
Oh, baby, I hear the tiles are clinking.
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.000
Toss salad and scramble eggs.
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:28.719
It would totally work.
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:31.520
I'm listening.
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:32.639
Your move.
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:33.759
Click, click, click.
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:38.400
Does anyone want to guess what beer Dan is drinking at Wandering Leaf?
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:39.520
Well, I'll give you a hint.
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:40.879
I helped make it.
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:47.199
I thought about that the other day, and I'm like, I'm gonna be really sad when I come in here and this is gone.
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:48.719
Well, you're gonna have to make another one.
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:49.599
Yeah, I hope so.
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:51.360
I mean, I I I think they'll let you.
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.719
I hope well, yeah, let's let's a man can wish.
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:59.520
I haven't told anybody this, but I did put one of my seven whore cruxes in this beer.
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:05.439
So when it's gone, I'll be one step closer to the grave.
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:06.479
What are you drinking?
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:08.159
I that looks like a nice clear.
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:09.599
Oh, do you want to guess?
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:10.960
I'm

gonna can I smell it?
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:12.080
And then I'll make an educated.
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:12.800
Yes.
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:14.240
Stan the beer man in action.
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:15.360
Is that the pills?
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:16.240
Check pills?
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:17.439
Mexican lager?
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:17.759
Yes.
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:18.240
Okay.
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:18.800
Shoot.
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:19.360
I should have.
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:20.319
Yeah.
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:25.199
I I did not go out and do anything for Cinco de Mayo yesterday, so I'm having him a Mexican lager today.
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.639
I made quite possibly the best batch of guacamole I've ever done.
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:29.439
Seriously?
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:39.120
And I tell you, I think I'm connected with all the produce at Aldi because I grabbed seven avocados exactly four days before.
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:40.879
So it was like on May 1st.
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:41.759
You're pushing it.
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:43.919
And they ripened perfectly.
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:45.919
They were like bright green.
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:46.400
Oh.
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:47.680
The texture.
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:48.960
There was no brown.
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:49.840
It was perfect.
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:50.719
Isn't it happy?
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:55.360
Like as soon as you cut into it and you just see how nice it is, you're like, oh, this is this was the time.
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:59.439
And my favorite thing is like whacking the seed with the knife.
00:03:59.599 --> 00:03:59.759
Yeah.
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:01.199
I get a lot of enjoyment from that.
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:02.639
Yeah, so guacamole.
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:04.879
What did you put in your guacamole that made it so good?
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:08.240
I do a well so obviously the avocados.
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:21.439
Uh, some very finely minced red onion, onion powder, garlic powder, adobo seasoning, ancho chili powder, and then I put a bunch of finely chopped cilantro.
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.519
I squeeze at least one and a half to three lines.
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:26.800
It kind of depends on.
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:32.079
So I kind of taste as I go, and then salt at the end, and then I test it with a chip.
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:33.279
And it turned out really well.
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:34.240
Yeah, I like this.
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:35.199
Yeah, it was good.
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.040
It's I love making guacamole.
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:41.600
I think it's one of the things that like I think I paid 59 cents an avocado.
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:45.439
And I think about how expensive guacamole, like store-bought guacamole.
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:47.040
59 cents for the avocado?
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:48.079
Yeah, at Aldi.
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.879
Aldi has ridiculous produce prices.
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:56.800
That's where, like, and you can find, I think they were might have been on sale for Cinco de Mayo, but and then I was at Target.
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:58.720
They were like 119 in avocado.
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.839
I'm like, in this economy, I think not.
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:07.360
When gas is on the rise, I'm gonna start putting guacamole in my car.
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:17.680
Olay! And happy Cinco de Mayo to you listeners.
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:20.959
Recording this on May 6th, Revenge of the Sixth.
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:22.079
Revenge of the Sith.
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:24.399
And it was happy May the 4th be with you, Dave.
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:25.199
It's been a big week.
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:36.079
Remember that uh episode of Arrested Development when Job was mad that Cinco de Mayo, he was buying stuff for an event and it was all gone because of Cinco de Mayo.
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:40.079
So he did Cinco Day Quattro to mess with people.
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.120
Then people started buying stuff for that too, and he got really mad.
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:45.519
That's uh that that was a reference for you.
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:46.319
I like it.
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.680
Who is your favorite arrested development character?
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:50.959
Have we talked about this before?
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:51.920
No, we haven't.
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:52.959
It's it's maybe.
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:53.600
Yeah?
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:54.160
Yeah.
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.920
Maybe and I think was it Michael?
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:05.680
They were singing karaoke, they were singing afternoon delight, and then they got midway through the song and they realized it was about sex.
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:07.439
They're like, oh, stop, stop, stop.
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:07.920
Yeah.
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:08.240
Yeah.
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:13.199
Well, this is not a this is not a mahjong podcast or an arrested development podcast.
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:14.240
This is a beer podcast.
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:15.360
Strangely enough.
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.560
We've been we've been having a lot of beer fun out in out on the town.
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:19.040
Yeah.
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:19.839
We've been busy.
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:21.519
We've got a lot of events that we've been to.
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:23.439
Going going all over the place.
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:24.639
This is a fun time of year.
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:25.439
Things are picking up.
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:27.279
February usually is pretty slow.
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.240
March, you know, you've got October or not Oktoberfest.
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:35.040
They brew Oktoberfest in March if they're if they're doing their the the old-fashioned way.
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:35.759
But you've got St.
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:41.519
Patrick's Day, and then April happens, and there's like, seems like now there's a lot of stuff happening.
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:42.079
Yes.
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.000
But the first thing we did in April.
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:45.920
What was the first thing we did?
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.959
Well, I mean, the first thing we're gonna talk about on Overstream.
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:49.839
Oh my god!
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.560
I thought you were surprising me with something I didn't have.
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:56.079
At the end of April, we came to Wandering Leaf!
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:57.680
There it goes.
00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:03.439
I warned you when we started today that I'm really I I brought my A game.
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:05.600
Wandering Leaf Third anniversary.
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:07.680
What's the gift for the third anniversary?
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:14.720
Oh one of them is tin, one of them is paper, one of them is wood, bronze, brass, helper monkey, chameleon.
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.199
Oh nope, no, these are my favorite Pokemon cards.
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:17.920
There's a whole list.
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:18.720
There is a whole list.
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:20.879
Did they call theirs an anniversary or a birthday though?
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:22.000
Well, it was a birthday.
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:23.920
The anniversary of their brewery opening.
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.120
I mean, some people go anniversaries, some people like they they called it.
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:29.360
Yeah, theirs was definitely more of a birthday party.
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:35.360
Well, whether it was spankings or some raw material exhumed from the earth, happy birthday, wandering leaf.
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:36.639
Happy birthday, wandering leaf.
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:37.439
That was a fun day.
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:38.560
There's a lot going on.
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:39.680
I I was looking up.
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:44.560
Um your third anniversary is supposed to be leather or crystalslash glass.
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:45.759
Oh, interesting.
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:46.160
Okay.
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:48.800
I did not bring them either, any of those things.
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:53.360
We'll have to get Robbie some leather chaps and just be a belated birthday present.
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:54.160
Here you go.
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:55.600
Put these on, cowboy.
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:01.439
Can you imagine Robbie in the old west?
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:02.480
Oh my god.
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:04.240
Do you think he'd make it?
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:05.759
He's very uh fair skinned.
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:07.360
I think he'd make it.
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:10.000
Well, he might, but he'd he'd be really sunburned.
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:11.680
Maybe maybe his skin would adapt.
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:12.399
I don't know.
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.519
I mean, he's on the scale of lightness.
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:17.360
He's lighter than you.
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:18.319
That's really hard.
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:20.560
Yeah.
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.839
He's if he
had red hair, he'd definitely be a daywalker.
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:24.399
Wow.
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.360
I mean, I think the whitest person I know is my wife.
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:29.040
She's as white as can be.
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:33.039
And he's bordering up along that era.
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:38.399
When she slathers on sunpan lotion, it looks like kabuki theater.
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:40.000
It's so thick, it's got zinc in it.
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:42.960
Why did you put toothpaste all over your face?
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:45.200
Are you worried about cavities?
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:46.799
You have to.
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:47.600
You just have to.
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:48.399
I know, I know.
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:49.519
That's what people keep telling me.
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:52.720
Give it 10 years, my face is gonna be like a catcher's myth.
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:56.240
Uh so we yeah, wandering leaf, third birthday.
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:56.879
Yeah, they have.
00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:00.159
They're out of the terrible twos, and now they had part of shindig.
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:04.799
And I think Robbie and Matt, they both were wearing pull-ups, so that's that was fun.
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:06.799
Like, what?
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:07.279
I don't know.
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:10.240
So I'm gonna be making a lot a lot of toddler jokes in this segment.
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:10.559
No.
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:12.000
There are a lot of toddlers here right now.
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:12.879
Oh, yeah, there are.
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:14.399
I can't wait till they go to bed.
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:16.080
I'm not a not a kid person.
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:16.960
That was a fun day.
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:18.399
It was very crowded.
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:25.120
Again, I don't know what I don't know what goes through my head when I start thinking about the places I'm gonna be going to, but I was not expecting it to be that crowded.
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:25.759
But it was.
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:27.360
There were tons of people outside.
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:30.320
They had live music going outside, tons of people inside.
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:36.960
I was worried, I think it was if it would have been like maybe five degrees warmer and no threat of rain, I think more people would have been outside.
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:37.279
Yeah.
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.600
But it was a little gray, a little chilly.
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:39.919
Yeah.
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:55.039
We were we were situated right in the I call it the plant alley, as you kind of like the main way you come in, and I kept I got stepped on several dogs, sniffed my butt, and uh yeah, I was just like front and center.
00:09:55.120 --> 00:10:00.080
It was like Jack Nicholson at a Lakers game, just right there, next to Diane Cannon, watching it all happen.
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.240
It was a fun day, lots of great beers.
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:04.399
They had two of my favorite food trucks.
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:06.000
Yeah, it was a big choice for you.
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:08.639
La Choza and Amazing Momo.
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:09.679
They're both great.
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:11.840
I got, you know, we had a little bit of each.
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:12.639
That was fun.
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:15.759
And then lots of nice 3.9%.
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:17.200
A bit weird, isn't it?
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:17.519
Yeah.
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:18.320
Lots of good beers.
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:19.440
And easy drinking.
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:19.919
Yeah.
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:21.440
And then it was kind of funny.
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:23.039
Marcus and Andrea showed up.
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:24.639
I was like, maybe I'll text them.
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:26.240
No, I think they'll just be here.
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:30.960
And I met a woman who uh her name is Miranda.
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:36.559
She works for the Minnesota Aurora, and she does she's in charge of their like partnerships and things like that.
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:37.279
Well, that's it.
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:44.480
I was talking to her because they're trying to, the Aurora is trying to do a kind of a beer pass thing or a beer thing with breweries, so that's kind of fun.
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:47.840
Do you get to go like consult with them about I don't know.
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:49.039
I'll give her some suggestions.
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.159
You're like, hey, let's get I bet Lupilin would want to do it.
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:53.919
I know Erin is a big soccer fan.
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:54.799
That's really cool.
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:55.919
So yeah, that was fun.
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:00.799
I also realized at first when I saw her, I was like, that person looks very familiar.
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:02.159
Where do I know that person?
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:08.639
Well, she was in the a bit weird in it promo video that they shot at Wandering Leaf at the very end.
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:09.440
She was sitting at the bar.
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:12.000
I'm like, that's why your face is familiar.
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:14.159
Because I'm old and forgetful.
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:16.000
Oh so, but yeah, super nice.
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:19.919
I guess they know Andrea and Marcus because they used to go to Wabashaw.
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:26.879
I think they still do go to Wabashaw, but they've kind of migrated here as adopting Wandering Leaf as their as their go-to.
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:32.960
They're mug p mug club members at Wabashaw, but Wabashaw, they're uh I don't know, they just like want to mix it up.
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.360
Yeah so Marcus and Andrea come here now, which is fun.
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:38.480
It's good to go to, you know, it's good to culminate all the breweries.
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:38.799
Yeah.
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.679
You know, go to go to a bunch of different ones, but
they're definitely St.
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:42.480
Paul people.
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:45.759
What was your favorite beer that you had at the anniversary?
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.399
I don't even remember what I was drinking at the anniversary.
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:52.000
I think I just kept ordering different like low ABV beers.
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.960
Yeah, I I think I did a bit weird, isn't it?
00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:58.799
I think I had a Pilsar Good, I think I had a Hellas, I think I had a La Hoja.
00:11:59.120 --> 00:11:59.360
Yeah.
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:01.360
They've got a really nice beer list right now.
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:04.960
I mean they got a nice beer list all the time, but their Mexican lager is good.
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:05.840
That's what I'm drinking tonight.
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:08.480
What do you you know?
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:13.039
I should ask them how many kegs are left of the English Dark Mild.
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.639
I mean, it's been well over a m over a month since it's been out.
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:17.279
Probably six weeks.
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.320
Yeah, it's been six weeks, I think, because it went on tap the end of March.
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:22.799
Yeah.
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:25.519
So, you know, coming and enjoy it while it lasts.
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:26.320
It will eventually be.
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:27.039
It's really good.
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:28.320
Yeah, it is very tasty.
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:33.600
The thing I liked about their birthday party, there were again, it happens every time you walk in the door here.
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:38.080
There is such a strong sense of community when you come in here.
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:42.399
And that was just the anniversary party was just that, like times a thousand.
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:43.279
Yeah, yeah.
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:53.440
I think one of my highlights was actually when we went in the back and started playing golf, and Robbie got two holes holes in one rigged back to back.
00:12:53.679 --> 00:13:00.960
And I saw this ginormous confetti cake, and I was like, oh, I wonder if that's for sharing.
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:09.039
And then after we all like broke down the tents outside, I saw people eating, and I'm like, oh, may I have a piece of cake?
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:10.320
And they're like, yeah, go for it.
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:11.039
We've got a lot.
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.840
We're and I I cut an aggressively large.
00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:15.039
As you should.
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:16.320
Oh my gosh.
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:21.519
I think there's there's few things in the world that I lose sleep over because I love them.
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:24.480
One of them is canceled staff meetings at work.
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:27.519
Another one is really good beer.
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:33.440
Another one is, you know, when you go to somebody's house and they've got really fancy cheese as a snack.
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:35.360
And then there's birthday cake.
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:37.200
Birthday cake is really awesome.
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:38.720
I love birthday cake.
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:40.159
I do not love pie.
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:40.960
I'm a cake person.
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:41.840
You're a cake person.
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:42.960
I'm team cake.
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:44.879
And I love red velvet cake.
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:46.000
I love cheesecake.
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:57.200
I'm coming around on carrot cake, but when it comes to funfetti cake, I am as giddy as a schoolboy on June 6th because I love the colors.
00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:01.360
And I am very much a five-year-old when it comes to food because I'm very visual about it.
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:02.399
That's a party cake.
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:03.919
It was multi-layered.
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:05.759
Great buttercream frosting.
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:08.559
There were like four layers of cake.
00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:09.600
I mean, this thing was huge.
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:11.039
It was giant is ginormous.
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.919
And it had fun little wandering leaf green frosting on the top.
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:15.200
So I was drawn in immediately.
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:16.960
You're making me really hungry for cake.
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:19.039
The cake could have had asbestos in it.
00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:23.279
I would not have noticed it because I'm such a sucker for colorful frosting.
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:29.600
And every bite I had of that was just a parade down Main Street of Flavortown.
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:30.960
It was just glorious.
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:32.080
I was so happy.
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:34.000
And then I'm like, yes, this is great.
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:36.399
Goes very well with hams, surprisingly enough.
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:37.039
Who knew?
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.200
I mean, next time I make a funfetti cake at home, I'll have some hams.
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:42.000
Cake and hams.
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:43.279
That sounds like a good dinner to me.
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:48.480
Yeah, that was a it was a really fun time, and then we stayed late to kind of close the doors.
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:50.480
We did we did have an incident.
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:51.679
There was yes, there was.
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:56.799
That was uh a a very uh a very scary and serious incident that happened.
00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:57.519
The table that was.
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:00.480
Yeah, literally like right next across the walkway.
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:02.480
Across the the walkway from us.
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:09.279
There was a woman who I think she was just walking by and she fell, tripped, like passed out.
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:12.879
I I don't think it was like an alcohol-related, she was so drunk she just went.
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.159
It was like a medical, a medical event that happened.
00:15:16.399 -->
00:15:21.600
But she she fell and she hit her head on the table, and she just she was she was out.
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:22.080
Yeah.
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:30.320
The response to that happening, the people who immediately like rushed over to her side, they they didn't know this woman.
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:39.039
They were just the people who were in the area, the staff then that came, the number of people that immediately whipped out their phones and were calling 911.
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:40.639
It it still gives me chills.
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:44.720
Like the the response to what happened was absolutely incredible.
00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:45.919
Yeah, that was really cool.
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.960
I love it how like just people just like jump in and help.
00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:52.879
And of course, anytime there's a medical situation, I just freeze.
00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:54.879
And I just like, oh my god.
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:57.039
I'm not good in a crisis situation.
00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:07.519
But every yeah, enough people jumped in and everything, and then by the time the EMTs arrived, she was like awake and cognizant of the world around her, and they got her up on the thing and hope she's all right.
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:13.519
But and Matt was sitting with us, one of the owners at the time, and I think I think his reaction was was very similar to mine.
00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:15.919
He he was a little overcome by it.
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:18.080
He was a little he was very shaken by it.
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:26.799
But I think his his comment was in the world that we live in today, when stuff like that happens, I think I expect everybody to just walk on by.
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:27.120
Yeah.
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:33.759
So watching the caring and all of the people that rushed in to help was really it it felt pretty good.
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:34.320
Yeah, yeah.
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:36.240
The world is not as bad as it seems.
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:36.799
Right.
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:38.480
At least not at Wandering Leaf.
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:43.440
And I think it I think that's something about craft breweries in general that have a nice following.
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:51.200
I mean, they are community spots, and I think Wandering Leaf does it very well, but there's you know, there's every place has their version of that.
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:57.840
And I think if we could be in any brewery, if there was something like that that happened, I think people would just like spring to action.
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:01.759
And I think that's I think yeah, you can you forget that there are good people.
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:18.559
Even even people that, you know, maybe some of the people that jumped in, like, we wouldn't have necessarily a ton of political stuff in common with, but like in those moments, I think that like that can supersede your differences, and I think as a country we need to remember that because I
don't even think of it as a political thing.
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:23.279
I think just like people don't just think they just callousness and don't don't notice.
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:24.240
Not my problem.
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:25.200
Yeah, yeah.
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:27.119
Those gosh darn gen ziers.
00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:29.839
They're just um yeah, I don't know.
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:36.319
I think yeah, it was it was nice to see people spring to action, but I think that's very very much about you know this this place.
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:37.599
That's the one thing about St.
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:38.000
Paul.
00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:39.519
There's a lot of really nice people in St.
00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:39.759
Paul.
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:41.680
They're amazing people, you know, like people St.
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:42.000
Paul.
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:43.200
We're not the coolest city.
00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:49.279
We go to bed a little earlier than our counterparts across the river, but we are very, very good people and always willing to help.
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:52.480
Yes, that that moment is gonna just stick with me for a while.
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:54.319
Yeah, that was that was nice.
00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:57.119
And I again I I think she's probably okay.
00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:58.799
She looked like everything was gonna be all right.
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:02.559
I mean, usually in those situations they just take you for observation and stuff like that.
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:04.640
But yeah, it was yeah, that was a little freaky.
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:05.839
And then it just calms down.
00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:23.759
I think for for every of the staff at Wandering Leaf did a really nice job of just like okay, here, move away, give this person space, let's make sure she's okay, and then kind of once everything was back to normal, they just didn't miss a beat and just jumped right back into filling up beers and giving air high fives and having a good time.
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:25.200
It was very good.
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:29.920
And then after that, last last weekend, oh my gosh, it was just last Saturday.
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:31.279
I know, been a whirlwind.
00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:34.880
We did a double event last week on Friday and then on Saturday.
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:36.559
Well, you kind of doubled up on Saturday.
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:37.759
I think you went back.
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:41.680
So on Friday, we went to bad weather in also in St.
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:42.079
Paul.
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:43.039
That's right.
00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:46.559
I promise the next time we hang out, we'll go to the Western Burbs.
00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:48.480
No, I'm telling you, I I love St.
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:48.799
Paul.
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:50.880
I've I've lived in various places in St.
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:51.200
Paul.
00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:52.319
I that's true.
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:53.039
I forget
that.
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:57.759
I like I think this it's a weird I claim the Twin Cities as my home.
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:00.400
It's not Minneapolis specifically, it's not St.
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:02.880
Paul specifically, it's not one of the suburbs.
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:04.480
It's just like the whole metro is mine.
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:04.799
Yeah.
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:05.680
It's all mine, Dan.
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:06.799
Okay, that's good.
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:08.160
Yeah, I can only claim St.
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:08.640
Paul.
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:11.440
I've never lived in I've lived in West St.
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:12.079
Paul and St.
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:12.400
Paul.
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:13.759
Never lived anywhere else.
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:23.119
Again, I feel like people who were born and raised here, especially if they were born and raised out in a suburb, feel like they've got their little pocket, and it takes a lot for them to leave that pocket.
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:26.079
I just don't think I'm cool enough to live in Minneapolis.
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:32.000
Everybody who lives in Minneapolis, they have fashion, they know good music, a lot of them play guitars.
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:32.720
That's just not me.
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:35.359
Dan, I've lived in Minneapolis and I have none of those things.
00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:36.720
You have good taste in music.
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:38.160
Some some maybe sometimes.
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:44.799
Courtney, half of my CD collection until I was like in college was TV theme song compilation.
00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:47.039
Oh, really?
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:47.359
Yeah.
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:48.960
We would have been friends back in the day.
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:49.759
I think we would.
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:52.880
You wanna come over and listen to Three's company theme song?
00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:54.559
Yes, yes, I do.
00:19:57.519 --> 00:19:59.119
We've been waiting for you.
00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:00.640
Um, yes.
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:02.079
Yeah, it was Friday night.
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:04.480
I was very excited about last weekend.
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:08.960
I was looking forward to the arcade, the outdoor bad weather arcade.
00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:11.839
That's one of my favorite beer events every single year.
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:14.079
I can't remember what year they started it.
00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:17.920
Feels like it's been going at least seven or eight years, maybe more.
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:19.680
They section off their parking lot.
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:23.440
They get a ton of arcade games, pinball games, skee ball.
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:26.240
They had those like I felt like it was an outdoor Chuck E.
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:26.640
Cheese.
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:28.000
It was like an outdoor Chuck E.
00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:30.079
Cheese, and there were a bunch of food trucks there.
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:32.240
There's the beer inside at bad weather.
00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:33.839
They had all their garage doors open.
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:34.079
Yep.
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:36.880
So many games outside.
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:43.359
Again, I don't know what was in my head, but when I got there, I was amazed at how many different games they had out there.
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:43.680
Yeah.
00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:45.680
And all I wanted to know is where did these come from?
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:48.240
There must be there must be a company that has them all.
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:50.079
That's just a lot of games to rent out.
00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:56.400
Well, and then, like we were mentioning at the end of the night, they just put the tents flaps down and just like hope nobody's gonna steal them.
00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:57.920
I wasn't plotting anything.
00:20:58.079 --> 00:20:58.400
Yeah.
00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:02.960
You were like, what if we did an Ocean's 11 type takeover of these pinball games?
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:04.000
I'm like, I don't know.
00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:05.359
Let's let's not do that.
00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:10.319
I was really psyched that somebody from Bad Weather reached out and mailed me bracelets.
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:11.119
That was really stupid.
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:12.000
That was really fun.
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:13.359
That was super generous of them.
00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:14.799
So we got to play free.
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:20.000
And then I left mine on all weekend long so I could go back.
00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:22.319
Because I really like those games.
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:25.359
And it's fun because I never remember to bring change.
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:27.920
They have pinball games here at Wandering Leaf.
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:29.839
I never play them because I never have changed.
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:35.519
I never have changed, but also like the the price was on a lot of those games, like what you would normally pay for them if you were.
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:39.839
Like that's that's a lot.
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:40.400
That's insane.
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:44.720
I don't know what I don't know what the pinball costs here, but number one, don't carry change on me.
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:49.279
Number two, if you tell me to put two dollars into a pinball game, I just want to walk away.
00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:54.480
Yeah, fifty cents maybe if it's a really good one.
00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:55.279
Right, yeah.
00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:56.400
But yeah, like pinball.
00:21:57.599 --> 00:21:59.680
You know, I know it's like pinball.
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.279
A gumball, a really nice back scratch.
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:06.240
Everything should just be 50 cents and just call it a day.
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:06.799
I don't know.
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:07.200
Yeah.
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:08.799
I mean, but yeah, that's nice.
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:13.039
And you know, you go there, and even if you pay, I don't
even know what it was$10 for a report.
00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:13.599
Was it$10?
00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:14.240
It was$10.
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:15.519
Totally worth it.
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:15.920
Yeah.
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:16.400
Oh yeah.
00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:20.240
After five rounds of pinball, you're it's like they're paying you to have fun.
00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:22.720
And just you just go around and play games.
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:24.319
I was I love Galaga.
00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:25.440
It's such a good game.
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:30.400
Okay, so Friday night, Galaga, there was a high score that was like$45,000.
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:30.720
Yep.
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:35.359
And you came so close at like$42 and I was 3,000 away.
00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:38.160
And then on Saturday when you said you were going back, I was really excited.
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:39.920
I'm like, he's totally gonna beat that record.
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:42.799
And then you sent me a picture of what the new current high score was.
00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:45.119
I was like, oh, I was like, Jesus Christ.
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:50.880
They had Bobby Fisher of Atari game showed up and just totally and I tried.
00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:52.079
It was just like, I don't know.
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:53.359
Did you beat your 42,000?
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:54.720
No, I didn't even come close.
00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:56.720
I think the highest I got was like 28.
00:22:56.880 --> 00:22:59.279
I was just like, yeah, I gotta go home.
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:00.720
I guess too much.
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:01.359
Defeated.
00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:05.519
I think it was the cumulative effect of the blessing of the Mybach.
00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:07.519
But yeah, let's we got ahead of ourselves.
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:08.160
Let's rewind.
00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:13.519
Because we we we rendezvoused at Northbound Smokehouse and Brewpub.
00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:13.759
Yes.
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:20.880
To cheers Andy the City Elf and congratulate him on his not one, but two World Beer Cup medals.
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:21.279
Yes.
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:22.720
He came one beer.
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:26.960
I don't even know if they entered more beers in that category, but he could have like swept it.
00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:31.359
He got gold and silver at W at World Beer Cup in that category.
00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:35.279
His Icebach won the gold and his Doppelbach won the silver.
00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:36.319
That's pretty amazing.
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:42.960
It's very amazing when you consider that World Beer Cup isn't just breweries from America, it's breweries from all over the world.
00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:52.400
So he's going up against like the breweries that brew Salvatore and like all those Doppelbachs that have been around for hundreds, celebrator.
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:58.799
Like it just boggles my mind how he is so good at those beers.
00:23:58.960 --> 00:23:59.200
Yeah.
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:01.200
And those aren't the only beers he's good at.
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:03.920
Like he's he just really understands lagers.
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:05.920
On Friday at 11 a.m.
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:11.039
They tapped Icebach and Doppelbach and had a little bit left of each one.
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:13.200
And he said that there were people in line when they opened.
00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:13.680
Oh, I didn't know.
00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:14.400
Like to get it.
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:16.400
There should be people in line for that.
00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:17.920
So that was that was fun.
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:21.599
I always love heading right over there after work, after a school day.
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:24.079
So well, and we should talk about World Beer Cup a little more.
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:26.880
There were some other Minnesota breweries that were involved.
00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:31.359
So that was their ceremony was April 22nd in Philadelphia.
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:35.119
This I I think was their like 30th anniversary of doing these awards.
00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:35.519
Okay.
00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:36.559
Does that sound about right?
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:36.799
Yeah.
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:38.960
I think it started in 1996.
00:24:39.119 --> 00:24:40.079
Am I mathing things right?
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:40.319
Yeah.
00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:41.759
It's not my strong suit, Dan.
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:42.799
Yeah, yep, that's perfect.
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:44.240
Oh, sweet.
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:48.079
So Andy won, Northbound won for their icebach and their doppelbach.
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:53.759
Um Forgotten Star also got a gold for their Dark Skies Baltic Porter in the strong beer category.
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:59.839
Canal Park Brewing got a silver medal for their Night Trekker Baltic Porter.
00:24:59.920 --> 00:25:06.400
Um then Little Thistle in Rochester got a bronze medal for their double elbow Tonks Tuesday pills.
00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:07.839
Yeah, that's fun.
00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:11.279
That's a that's a I think that's a nice Minnesota representation.
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:12.720
Yeah, those are well deserved.
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:19.680
And I mean if you think about Baltic border, Pilsner, Doppelbach, Icebach, those are hard categories to win.
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:28.480
I would say conventional wisdom might lead you to assume that the categories that American breweries would win would be more like the IPAs and different things like that.
00:25:28.799 --> 00:25:37.359
You're talking classic beer styles, and when you're winning those categories, beating out other European breweries, that's saying something about your skill.
00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:37.599
Yeah.
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:45.759
And I will, I I love every beer I've ever had from the double elbow series from Little Thistle, has been incredible.
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:48.319
It's a very unique kind of offshoot.
00:25:48.559 --> 00:26:03.759
So when Steve Finney hired Nico Tonks, who used to be the head brewer at Fair State, to be the head brewer at Little Thistle, Nico had this idea of doing a series of beers that were modeled after classic European styles.
00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:09.599
But instead of using malt from Europe, he uses malt from the United States.
00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:12.559
So he does a lot of like shopping around.
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:19.839
When I was there to do a podcast last August, I saw a bunch of bags of Troubadour malt, and that's a malt house out in Colorado.
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:32.799
And so he's really very clued in on how and where to get quality ingredients stateside, which is something that I'd really love to see more breweries start doing.
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:42.240
Because, yes, if you buy from RARBSG, you can get whatever you want, and you probably get a discount on the price because it's they're so large.
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:42.559
Yeah.
00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:50.400
But there are some really nice mom and pop malt farms, maltsters in the United States that are making incredible products.
00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:53.440
Two-tracks malting in North Dakota is one of them.
00:26:53.599 --> 00:27:00.720
They supplied the malt for the FarmAid beer that Broken Clock Brewing Cooperative made for Farmade's 40th anniversary.
00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:03.599
And that beer turned out incredibly well.
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:10.640
The Gambit Brewing just brewed a beer with their uh, I think it's called Maltese malt.
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:13.759
It's a darker malt from two tracks that just won a malt award.
00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:17.839
So, you know, that's uh just right kind of next door neighbor of Minnesota.
00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:19.119
They're doing some incredible things.
00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:20.240
I'm going out there this summer.
00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:21.200
I'm doing a road trip.
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:22.319
I'm gonna do a podcast.
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:23.680
So I'm very excited about that.
00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:32.559
So I've I always love, I mean, just like why I go to why I enjoy going to smaller breweries as opposed to just going to the bigger ones.
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:37.359
I'm gonna go to the bigger ones too, but there's some breweries that have a they feel a corporate.
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:39.759
And I'll go there every now and again.
00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:50.880
But I love to support these small places that are like less than 2,000 barrels that are really doing things well, and they're kind of along the same mindset as a lot of people when they say shop small.
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:51.279
Yeah.
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:52.720
That includes ingredients and stuff.
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:53.359
Pass it on.
00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:59.440
The double elbow beers, if you ever see those in the liquor store, they've always got at least one or two tap lines at Grumpy's.
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:01.359
I know
they're always on tap at Meteor.
00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:07.440
Basically, if you have a reputable beer bar that knows what they're doing, they'll probably have a double elbow tap.
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:16.240
Um, and if you're listening and you're a reputable beer bar and you don't have double elbow on tap, talk to Nico at Little Thistle and they'll make that happen.
00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:16.559
Yeah.
00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:18.240
So that was very well.
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:22.319
No.
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:28.559
I think I've met that guy a couple times with you at beer events and just seems like the nicest guy.
00:28:28.799 --> 00:28:29.119
Oh, yeah.
00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:29.359
Yeah.
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:30.240
He's great.
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:30.640
I love him.
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:31.680
He and his wife are awesome.
00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:32.000
Yeah.
00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:33.759
And then, you know, Nico's really cool.
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:34.799
We should go down there.
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:36.000
It's not a bad drive.
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:37.440
It's like an hour and 15.
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:38.960
So I'm ready, Dan.
00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:39.359
Let's go.
00:28:39.519 --> 00:28:39.680
Yeah.
00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:42.640
So that yeah, and then Canal Park was kind of surprising.
00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:46.960
There was a while where their beer just kind of blended into the crowd, so to speak.
00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:53.279
You know, when you're going up to Duluth, I remember when they first opened, I really liked their nuthatch brown ale.
00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:55.279
And there was one other one.
00:28:55.440 --> 00:29:00.640
Like I'm talking back at like 2012, 2013, 2014, in that era.
00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:03.279
Because Duluth was different then.
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:13.599
You didn't have Urza Minor, you didn't have, I mean, you had Fitgers, Canal Park, you had Superior Brewing, but there wasn't like there was no Earthrider.
00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:18.240
Castle Danger was up in two harbors, but there wasn't as much other stuff.
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:18.480
Yeah.
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:26.480
And now I think I I often overlook Canal Park because I don't think I'm the only one that thinks this, but their quality took a little bit of a dip.
00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:28.640
And it wasn't just, it just didn't stand out.
00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:29.039
Yeah.
00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:36.160
So they won several awards at the Minnesota Brewers Cup Awards, and now they won a World Beer Cup Award, so maybe I need to.
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:39.759
Yeah, maybe maybe I need to circle back.
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:41.839
I'll always go revisit a place.
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:43.599
I don't think I've had any of their beers.
00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:46.000
I don't we didn't go there when we were up at All Pines.
00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:48.559
Well, no, when you you can't go there during All Pines.
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:50.319
It's so it's a
zoo.
00:29:50.559 --> 00:29:52.799
You think the Mahjong folks are crazy.
00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:54.880
Canal Park, because it's right on the walk.
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:57.839
Oh did I ever tell you the story of this?
00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:00.160
Uh we called them the Duluth Hippies.
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:00.480
No.
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:01.920
I've told you about the Duluth Hippies.
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:09.599
So there were like a number of years in a row where I used to go up to All Pints with uh my friends Marty and Randy.
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:11.599
And it was like a guy's weekend trip.
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:13.519
So we'd go up there and do beer stuff.
00:30:13.599 --> 00:30:18.400
I think I was writing about beer, but we had been going since the second year it happened.
00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:21.680
So I think it started in 2010 or 2011.
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:26.640
So I think 2011 or 2012 was the first year I started going up there.
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:35.519
And one of the years it started out where it was not just Minnesota breweries, it was a bunch of regional breweries and different things like that.
00:30:35.680 --> 00:30:37.519
This couple, they were a bit older.
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:39.839
They were very much they were hippies?
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:41.039
They were hippies.
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:47.680
And this was I had much longer, bushier hair, more voluminous.
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:50.880
And I'm pretty sure this woman was stoned out of her mind.
00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:56.079
Because she just walked up to me and she immediately started like putting her fingers through my hair.
00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:59.519
She's like, Oh no, your hair is beautiful.
00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:02.319
I'm like, why are you touching me?
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:04.720
I don't like people touching my hair.
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:06.640
I don't like people messing up my hair.
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:07.039
Yeah.
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:14.880
I don't want strangers aggressively, slash moderately, sensually rubbing their fingers through my hair.
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:17.200
Even though she was complimenting you at the same time.
00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:18.640
Yeah, it was very weird.
00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:19.279
I don't know.
00:31:19.359 --> 00:31:24.079
And her husband was there, and their two kids were like early, mid-20s.
00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:29.119
Dan, right now in my head, all I'm thinking is like the whole family is running their fingers through your hair.
00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:31.839
It was just the gal.
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:35.920
And then every year after that, we would run into them.
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:36.559
Oh no.
00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:40.400
And there was there was one time when we we were also hanging out with some friends.
00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:44.160
The gal's name was Jody, and her boyfriend was Dennis.
00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:56.160
And on Friday night, we hung out with Jody and Dennis, and we went to this like industry party after their they would have their guild meeting, and then they'd all go to this place called the Rat Skeller.
00:31:56.319 --> 00:32:01.599
It's like the lower level of a restaurant, and it used to be like a speakeasy.
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:02.240
Oh, cool.
00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:08.160
And it's a cave, it's really cool down there, and it was like everybody, and there were so many different people.
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:14.480
And my friend Megan Parker, who now works for Fair State, I was like, Megan, can you get us into this like Rat Skeller thing?
00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:19.119
She's like, Yeah, just go to that elevator and hit the down button and just like look like you know where you're going, and it'll be fine.
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:19.599
Like, okay.
00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:21.200
And that was a lesson.
00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:24.640
I feel like you can get in anywhere if you look like you know where you're going.
00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:25.039
Oh, yeah.
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:29.440
So we went down there, and Jody and Dennis were having a little bit of a lover's quarrel.
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:39.839
And then that lovers quarrel turned into like a very tense couple of days to the point where on the way home, Jody left without Dennis.
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:40.079
Oh.
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:41.839
And he was stuck up there.
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:47.279
And it was really funny because I guess they're just, you know, there's some couples that are just like oil and water.
00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:51.279
And they just love to argue, and it's just like, oh, that's just Jody and Dennis.
00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:54.720
And then they got back together and kind of off and on, off and on.
00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:56.960
I don't think Jody moved to North Carolina.
00:32:57.119 --> 00:32:58.400
She might be back now.
00:32:58.559 --> 00:33:00.559
Um, I run into Dennis all the time.
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:01.599
He is a St.
00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:02.720
Paul firefighter.
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:06.160
His nickname is the Velvet Hammer, which I also think is funny.
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:08.079
It's not anything gross.
00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:12.400
It's just that's like the brand of coffee that their firehouse gets from Costco.
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:17.680
It's called like Velvet Something, and they're like, You're the Velvet Hammer, because you drink a lot of that Velvet Something coffee.
00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:18.240
I don't know.
00:33:18.400 --> 00:33:19.119
It's really funny.
00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:21.039
His family owns the Dubliner.
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:21.359
Oh.
00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:29.519
So that that's how there's a there's a whole I could tell more stories, but this is not the Dan Bobian All Pines North story.
00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:31.920
All this is to say that one year.
00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:32.799
Oh, that's right.
00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:33.279
Okay.
00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:41.279
So we ran into Jody, and this was after
the festival, and she was like, I don't know where the fuck Dennis is, but your hippie people just ran by.
00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:42.640
They're like, oh my gosh, the hippies.
00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:44.400
Everybody knows your hippie people.
00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:47.920
And then they didn't have Alpines during COVID.
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:53.359
And then when it came back in 2021, everybody went up to Alpines.
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:56.079
And it was just like people were raring to go.
00:33:56.319 --> 00:34:00.480
People got really, really drunk, and everybody was out of their minds.
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:05.039
And I was standing at a crosswalk with my friends Chris and Kate.
00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:06.720
And we're going to the whiskey bar.
00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:11.679
And I turn around, I see this woman who has a horse and dragon t-shirt.
00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:13.360
I'm like, I have that same t-shirt.
00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:15.280
And I look up, it's the hippie lady.
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:17.440
I'm like, oh my god, it's you.
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:18.960
This was after COVID.
00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:21.199
So it was like a really special moment.
00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:24.480
And we just all three of us just like gave each other a big hug.
00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:25.760
Did you let her touch your hair?
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:26.719
I yes.
00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:32.719
She, I'm like, you can run your well, it was kind of sad because then my hair was shorter then.
00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:34.480
One year I was wearing a hat and she came over.
00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:35.679
She's like, Where's your hair?
00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:36.960
I'm like, it's under the hat.
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:39.920
Do I need to see if my hair's under a hat, it's already messed up.
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:41.360
So then you can touch it all you want.
00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:42.320
But I digress.
00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:48.000
I want to hear this lady's side of there's this guy who goes to Alpines and he's got the best hair.
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:50.320
And then she was like, you guys should come back to our campsite.
00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:50.960
Oh my.
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:52.480
We're staying at Spirit Mountain.
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:54.559
I'm like, we're not going to that fucking campsite.
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:55.840
I'll tell you that right now.
00:34:56.320 --> 00:34:58.800
I'll take my chances with the sturgeon in the lake.
00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:00.880
I don't know what's going to happen if we go there.
00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:01.920
This is very weird.
00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:03.599
One year they almost hit me with a bike.
00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:08.960
They were on bike, so they're like, Dan! It's been good.
00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:11.920
I think I have a picture of every year.
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:14.480
I'll have to curate a selection and show you sometime.
00:35:14.559 --> 00:35:16.159
But yeah, it's just one of those.
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:18.719
I think it doesn't get any more all pints north than that.
00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:19.440
That's pretty good.
00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:19.760
You know?
00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:26.480
So, anyhow, I need to go back to Canal Park because the last time I was there, I was distracted by Jody and her feud and the dancing hippies.
00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:28.400
I mean, thank you for coming to my tech talk.
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:28.559
Yeah.
00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:29.840
TED Talk.
00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:31.039
Where were we?
00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:32.480
We were at northbound.
00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:33.039
Yes.
00:35:33.199 --> 00:35:33.519
Yeah.
00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:36.719
So we had, I had some, they had a great beer selection there.
00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:38.719
Andy has a nice pub ale.
00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:43.679
It's an extra special amber, because if you call it extra special bitter, people go a little wacky.
00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:44.159
Yep.
00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:45.599
And he had a cask of it.
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:47.119
So I wanted to try the cask.
00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:50.000
So that's when I went there, and I wanted to try a little bit of the icebach.
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:52.079
And I wanted to try some doppelbach.
00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:56.079
And I I wanted to try the Mybach, but I knew we were going to bad weather.
00:35:56.159 --> 00:35:57.039
I'm like, I can't.
00:35:57.119 --> 00:35:59.360
I didn't bring my second liver today, so this just has to be.
00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:00.400
You gotta pace yourself.
00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:02.159
So I need to go back and try their Mybach.
00:36:02.239 --> 00:36:03.440
It's definitely Mybach season.
00:36:03.599 --> 00:36:04.800
Oh, darn, you have to go back.
00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:05.280
I know.
00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:06.000
That's a bummer.
00:36:06.159 --> 00:36:09.920
So we went there, and then I was like, well, I gotta get I gotta get back.
00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:11.039
I gotta I forgot.
00:36:11.119 --> 00:36:16.800
I stupidly forgot the wristbands that bad weather was nice enough to send me in the mail at my house, so I needed to go back and grab the wristbands.
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:17.679
Abandoned me.
00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:19.199
Well, I said I was leaving.
00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:20.159
Yeah, yeah.
00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:22.639
And I didn't really think about what was gonna happen after that.
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:25.679
And you got in a conversation with some guy.
00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:30.960
He was This was not okay, this was the second time you've had a conversation with this guy.
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:31.360
Yes.
00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:33.760
Like the first time was when we went there for my birthday.
00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:34.159
Yep.
00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:36.719
And he was there, and I didn't hear what he was saying.
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:38.880
I didn't realize he was very entertaining.
00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:42.800
He's got a lot to say, but he has a lot to say, and he's
not gonna stop talking.
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:48.320
So luckily Andy came over at one point because he was coming with us to to go to bad weather to the outdoor arcade.
00:36:48.400 --> 00:36:51.119
So he he came over and he's like, Oh, I you know, is it is it time to go?
00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:51.760
Are you getting ready?
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:53.119
I'm like, Yep, yep.
00:36:53.760 --> 00:36:55.280
So thank you, thank you, Andy.
00:36:56.480 --> 00:36:57.199
Yeah, it's yeah.
00:36:57.280 --> 00:37:00.400
So then we met up there, played a bunch of pinball, played some ski ball.
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:03.039
The ski b so I I love skee ball.
00:37:03.199 --> 00:37:14.960
Yeah, but there were also a lot of kids running around, so all I could think about was all of the snotlow's little kids who were touching the skee ball balls, and now I'm touching the skee ball balls.
00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:16.079
Yeah.
00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:16.800
It was fine.
00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:17.519
I survived.
00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:21.199
I think you know, little mybach would just knock out any of those germs.
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:21.519
Yeah.
00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:22.159
Would be good.
00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:23.679
That was a lot of yeah, it was a lot of fun.
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:25.679
What was they they had a lot of pinball games?
00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:28.000
Yeah, I was just gonna ask, what was your favorite version?
00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:30.800
My favorite one was the pirates, the pirates game.
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:32.239
Yeah, you were doing really well at that.
00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:32.400
Yeah.
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:34.239
You kept getting the pirate ship to move.
00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:34.480
Yeah.
00:37:34.719 --> 00:37:35.280
That was fun.
00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:36.079
It was really cool.
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:37.760
And some some of the other ones were good too.
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:42.639
The one that I thought I was really gonna like that really didn't agree with me was the Jurassic Park one.
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:44.400
That game was really mean to me.
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:46.079
Yeah, yeah, that one was hard.
00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:46.880
I don't know why.
00:37:47.199 --> 00:37:56.320
Which is strange because that's the one they have at Dual Citizen, and I think I've played that one before, and I thought I really liked it, but I it was like a lot harder.
00:37:56.480 --> 00:37:57.519
That game had it out for me.
00:37:57.679 --> 00:37:57.840
Yeah.
00:37:58.000 --> 00:37:59.840
We did the Venom one.
00:37:59.920 --> 00:38:01.039
That was pretty tough too.
00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:01.360
Yeah.
00:38:01.679 --> 00:38:04.239
Because the gaps between the paddles I thought were not regulation.
00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:05.360
I wanted to measure.
00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:05.840
Yeah.
00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:07.519
This is not regulation.
00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:08.559
What was your favorite?
00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:12.159
This is um, I think I really liked.
00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:12.880
Let's see.
00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:14.639
It was probably the pirate one.
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:15.840
Because that one was good.
00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:17.760
There was uh there was another one.
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:19.840
What was to the left of Jurassic Park?
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:27.840
I only played it like one or two times because that was like where this group was just standing and congregating, and I'm like, I think whatever it was, you played it and I didn't.
00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:29.440
Was that the Foo Fighters one?
00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:30.480
Yes, that one.
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:31.039
That was cool.
00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:32.079
We were told about that one.
00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:33.199
Yeah, yeah, that was good.
00:38:33.679 --> 00:38:35.039
That had strong recommendations.
00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:38.480
Yep, but yeah, by far my favorite game of the night was Galaga.
00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:40.559
We didn't even make it to Turtles in Time.
00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:40.880
No.
00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:42.559
That's a really fun game.
00:38:42.719 --> 00:38:47.360
I sunk a lot of quarters into that at the Signal Hills Mall growing up in West St.
00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:47.760
Paul.
00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:48.639
That was a lot of fun.
00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:51.599
They also had a really fancy looking bowling game back there.
00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:52.000
Yep.
00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:53.039
Like it looked brand.
00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:55.039
I think they said it was new.
00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:55.280
Yeah.
00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:55.599
Yeah.
00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:57.679
We didn't do the basketball shooting either.
00:38:58.079 --> 00:38:59.599
We would have just smoked everybody, Dan.
00:38:59.760 --> 00:38:59.920
Yeah.
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:00.480
It's fine.
00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:01.360
Yeah, that was good.
00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:04.559
Would definitely recommend that when it comes around again next year.
00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:08.880
Yeah, it's always the first weekend of May, Friday through Sunday.
00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:11.920
And then, you know, pro tip don't take your wristband off.
00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:12.079
Yes.
00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:15.440
Just leave it and just come back, as I would do later in the weekend.
00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:18.079
I did, like, I left mine on on Friday night.
00:39:18.159 --> 00:39:24.079
I took it off on Saturday morning before I left to go to Town Hall brewing because I thought, we're gonna be in Minneapolis.
00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:25.840
There's no chance we're gonna go back over to St.
00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:26.239
Paul.
00:39:26.320 --> 00:39:27.039
I don't need this.
00:39:27.199 --> 00:39:27.519
I know.
00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:30.880
I was really craving a burger from Bullshorn.
00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:32.159
It's like, how about Bullshorn?
00:39:32.719 --> 00:39:33.199
Bullshorn?
00:39:33.360 --> 00:39:33.679
Bullhorn.
00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:34.480
Did anybody else hear that?
00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:35.039
Bullshorn?
00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:36.000
People want to go to Bullshorn.
00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:36.960
How about Waldman?
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:37.440
I'm like, oh.
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:39.199
Again, they were like, they were St.
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:41.679
Paulers that are like, I want to go somewhere close to home.
00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:42.719
Just like, God.
00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:43.599
That was fine.
00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:44.239
It was great.
00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:46.880
Because uh, you know It all worked out Waldman.
00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:47.440
Yeah, that was fun.
00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:48.800
And you had it, okay.
00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:49.920
So hold on, we're getting it.
00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:52.320
Okay, you need to take the reins.
00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:53.519
I'm too random today.
00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:59.760
On Saturday, we went to Town Hall Brewing in Minneapolis for the blessing of the Mybach.
00:40:00.960 --> 00:40:02.000
It was great.
00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:03.920
That was only my third time doing that.
00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:05.119
That was my first time.
00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:06.880
Some people have done it like 20 times.
00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:07.519
Seriously?
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:07.920
Yeah.
00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:08.800
Here's the thing.
00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:14.480
I get that blessing of the Mybach sounds like it might have some kind of religious connotation to it.
00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:21.519
I totally ignored that part and was just, I thought we were all just gonna like raise a Mybach in the air and be like, yay, beer, drink.
00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:28.159
No, it's actually a whole ceremony, and there was Exactly.
00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:31.840
There was actually a priest, maybe like three priests.
00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:32.000
Yeah.
00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:33.840
Like real priests, men of the clock.
00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:44.880
They did a whole ceremony with multiple blessings, and people were reciting things and responding, and I mean they did give you a hymnal.
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:45.760
There was a hymnal.
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:46.000
Yeah.
00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:46.719
It was fun.
00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:51.519
It was again, I don't know what goes on inside my head, but that was not it.
00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:58.719
Well, your first question was when we were talking about it at the Wandering Leaf anniversary party, you're like, is this something we need to be in costume for?
00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:00.880
Yeah, I thought it was gonna be a funny costume thing.
00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:04.559
That's really interesting because I'm like, what would you have worn?
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:10.480
If I would have said yes, and in all seriousness, be like, yeah, wear a costume, dealer's choice, what would you have showed up in?
00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:11.360
I don't know.
00:41:11.519 --> 00:41:13.280
I'm really I'm really curious about that.
00:41:13.519 --> 00:41:20.400
Again, I think I was blocking out like the religious part of blessing, and I would have been like some little forest sprite.
00:41:23.039 --> 00:41:25.519
Like, yay, bless this beer.
00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:29.280
How about a beer?
00:41:29.840 --> 00:41:31.119
That's what I'm saying.
00:41:32.079 --> 00:41:37.199
Has anybody has anybody seen Courtney?
00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:39.679
Yes, I'm here, right, from the woods.
00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:41.199
Oh my god, what's happening?
00:41:41.360 --> 00:41:42.239
A forest sprite.
00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:42.880
Good to know.
00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:44.480
That's my go-to for everything.
00:41:44.639 --> 00:41:45.119
That's right.
00:41:45.280 --> 00:41:48.320
Hey, we're it's the annual St.
00:41:48.480 --> 00:41:49.119
Nicholas Day.
00:41:49.199 --> 00:41:50.800
Why is she dressed as a forest sprite?
00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:52.000
It's just what she does.
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:53.199
It's just the thing.
00:41:53.519 --> 00:41:53.840
That's good.
00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:55.280
Yeah, well, I mean, next year.
00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:57.760
It would have been a little cold dressed as a forest sprite.
00:41:57.920 --> 00:41:58.960
It was warm when we got there.
00:41:59.039 --> 00:41:59.440
It was warm, and it's a little bit more.
00:41:59.599 --> 00:42:02.400
I was so excited because I'm like, oh yeah, let's sit on the patio.
00:42:02.639 --> 00:42:09.280
And then they opened up the doors, and then like the scar, the skies darkened, and it got real windy.
00:42:09.599 --> 00:42:13.920
So windy, in fact, that it blew an entire beer into Marcus's crotch.
00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:14.320
Yeah.
00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:17.360
And that was unfortunate for him, entertaining for us.
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:21.519
He he doubled down on the unfortunate things that happened that day.
00:42:21.760 --> 00:42:22.079
That's right.
00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:22.880
What was the other thing?
00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:29.360
He was served, he was served a beer and a pint glass, and there was this big crack that went like almost all the way around the room.
00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:31.440
It looked like it had been given a Colombian necktie.
00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:35.519
And he he was served the beer, and then our server disappeared.
00:42:35.679 --> 00:42:45.119
And then a woman came over to clear empty glasses away from our table, and we tried, like everybody had like an open mouth, like they were about to start to say, like, his beer, we need to we need a different glass.
00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:45.760
It's cracked.
00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:49.039
Nobody could get a single word out, and she just said, I am not your server.
00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:52.400
No, she's like, that's not my section, and then just went and like She's gone.
00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:54.639
Okay, whatever happened to all hands on deck.
00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:55.920
No, she was not helping with that.
00:42:56.159 --> 00:42:57.199
Yeah, she was a
little stressed.
00:42:57.280 --> 00:42:58.239
Oh, there were a lot of people there.
00:42:58.400 --> 00:42:58.960
There were a lot of people.
00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:03.440
So to kind of set the scene for people who have never been, they do this yearly.
00:43:03.599 --> 00:43:05.679
They typically do the blessing from five to six.
00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:09.199
And so you get a beer, and you're not supposed to drink the beer until it's blessed.
00:43:09.440 --> 00:43:11.920
Some people did, and I think they're gonna have bad luck for a year.
00:43:12.320 --> 00:43:13.679
Well, that one guy at the other table did it.
00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:21.360
I'm like, you're gonna be gonna be in a big meeting one time in your corporate America job, and you're gonna overtrust a fart, and the rest is gonna be history.
00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:23.119
Then you're gonna know it's because of that mybach.
00:43:23.360 --> 00:43:25.519
You shouldn't have sipped the MyBach before it was blessed.
00:43:25.679 --> 00:43:33.840
So they do the prayer, they do the songs, there's the dancing of the forest sprites, and then they What?
00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:35.840
Where are we?
00:43:36.079 --> 00:43:37.199
I don't like this game.
00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:42.960
Then they come around with pictures of MyBach and continue to top you off.
00:43:43.199 --> 00:43:46.719
They just kept refilling until it's time to go.
00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:47.440
So that was fun.
00:43:47.679 --> 00:43:48.400
Andy was there.
00:43:48.559 --> 00:43:49.760
Andy brought some friends.
00:43:50.079 --> 00:43:51.199
It turned into a little party.
00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:51.599
Yeah.
00:43:51.760 --> 00:43:56.000
So Andy brought his friend Jake, who used to brew up at Hammerheart.
00:43:56.079 --> 00:43:57.119
Now he's an electrician.
00:43:57.280 --> 00:43:58.239
His friend Chad.
00:43:58.480 --> 00:43:59.599
Wait, no, Chad was from.
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:00.559
Friday night.
00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:00.800
Yeah.
00:44:00.960 --> 00:44:01.599
What was his friend?
00:44:02.079 --> 00:44:02.880
Andy has too many friends.
00:44:03.039 --> 00:44:03.840
He's got a lot of friends.
00:44:03.920 --> 00:44:05.280
He's a very affable young man.
00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:06.880
It's hard to keep track of your friends, Andy.
00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:13.119
So his friend who was there, he works at Bang, and I felt it really awkward because he's like, how about we go to Bang?
00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:15.280
And I'm like, uh I can't.
00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:18.960
I think I s I'm like, I don't um, I don't like Bang.
00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:22.320
Not because of the beers, it's just like I don't like Kurnza.
00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:26.159
And they put Kurnza in every beer, and I feel like it comes off as very astringent.
00:44:26.400 --> 00:44:30.239
And I feel like that was like me putting an ice cold wet blanket on the fun.
00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:31.199
And I felt bad about it.
00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:32.880
I'm like, if you guys want to go to Bang, that's fine.
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:35.039
I'll go to the fucking Bullshorn like I wanted to go.
00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:38.079
But that's um so we wound up going to Waldman.
00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:43.360
But then Andy disappeared, and I come to find out he's down in the basement of Town Hall.
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:47.199
Talking with Mike Hoops and a bunch of other people.
00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:49.760
I was like, Andy! Jim Stroner was there?
00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:50.719
The guy with the long hair.
00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:51.280
Yeah, yeah.
00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:52.079
He was super nice.
00:44:52.239 --> 00:44:53.039
He's very nice.
00:44:53.199 --> 00:44:55.760
He was telling us that his wife got a cell phone.
00:44:55.920 --> 00:44:56.079
Yeah.
00:44:56.320 --> 00:44:57.280
Which is monumental.
00:44:57.440 --> 00:45:00.719
Now there's a chance she'll be able to listen to my podcast on her cell phone.
00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:02.079
But Jim is hilarious.
00:45:02.239 --> 00:45:06.159
He's a nature photographer, he was an engineer, he's retired, and all he does is travel.
00:45:06.239 --> 00:45:07.199
He travels the world.
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:11.039
He's a world-class photographer, super nice guy, hilarious.
00:45:11.119 --> 00:45:12.719
I he makes me laugh constantly.
00:45:12.960 --> 00:45:13.840
He was fun to listen to.
00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:15.599
He just has a lot of funny jokes.
00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:17.360
He's got a very dry sense of humor.
00:45:17.519 --> 00:45:28.800
When I went to Colorado for Great American Beer Festival, the only time I've been out there, I met he was up in the mountains, up in Estes Park, doing nature photography in his camper.
00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:29.119
Oh.
00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:33.039
And I was like, Jim, when are you coming down from the mountains?
00:45:33.280 --> 00:45:34.960
Because he was going to GABF.
00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:37.199
We were going to like some stuff with him.
00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:38.719
He's like, I'll come down.
00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:40.960
Let me know where you want me to meet you.
00:45:41.039 --> 00:45:42.400
And I'm like, well, what time will you be?
00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:43.679
He's like, it depends on the weather.
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:44.320
Okay.
00:45:44.559 --> 00:45:52.079
So we plan to meet at Grim Brothers Brew House in Loveland, Colorado, which is just 20 minutes south of Fort Collins.
00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:53.199
And I'm like, we're gonna go there.
00:45:53.280 --> 00:45:54.400
We're gonna be here at this time.
00:45:54.559 --> 00:45:56.480
We walk in, I'm like, I wonder if he's here yet.
00:45:56.719 --> 00:45:58.800
My friend Chad's like, uh, is that the guy?
00:45:58.960 --> 00:45:59.920
I look over.
00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:12.719
And Jim, it's like that scene in uh Fellowship of the Ring when they go to the prancing pony and they're like asking for Gandalf, and Strider is in the corner, and he's like giving them the glare.
00:46:12.800
--> 00:46:13.920
And Jim was just like this.
00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:16.320
He was sitting there with his middle finger up at me.
00:46:16.480 --> 00:46:16.800
Oh no.
00:46:17.039 --> 00:46:23.360
And he like looked, I mean, he looked like a man that had been living in a trailer for three weeks in the fucking mountains of the foothills of Colorado.
00:46:23.519 --> 00:46:24.960
He's like, Is that your friend?
00:46:25.039 --> 00:46:26.000
I'm like, oh yeah, Jim.
00:46:26.079 --> 00:46:26.320
Hey.
00:46:26.559 --> 00:46:27.920
He looks like my friend, right?
00:46:28.719 --> 00:46:32.320
So that that was his nickname for many years, Strider.
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:34.719
And then when he retired, he started growing his hair out.
00:46:34.880 --> 00:46:38.079
He always has had kind of long hair, then he started growing a long beard.
00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:40.000
Now we call him Gandalf the Gray.
00:46:40.159 --> 00:46:40.480
Nice.
00:46:40.719 --> 00:46:42.000
So it's very, it's very funny.
00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:46.559
I was hoping you were gonna say, like, I was picturing him with all that hair because that's how I saw him.
00:46:46.719 --> 00:46:52.719
I was like imagining him in that bar with like some wildlife just hanging out that he brought down from the mountain with him.
00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:55.199
Why not?
00:46:55.599 --> 00:46:57.920
Yeah, no, then we went to the tap and handle.
00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:05.360
I had the world's worst hamburger and watched the twins from the time from my three-minute walk from the Airbnb to the bar.
00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:10.320
I went from the twins being up 2-0 to being down four to two when they lost the play.
00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:14.079
The one that was when they used to they would do a one-game playoff game.
00:47:14.320 --> 00:47:15.920
We were playing against the Yankees.
00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:18.719
And Irvin Santana had a great year that year.
00:47:18.800 --> 00:47:28.800
They they pegged him to be the game one starter, and he didn't tell anybody that he was feeling arm discomfort, and his velocity was down like three miles an hour, and they just teed off on him.
00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:30.000
It was so frustrating.
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:39.760
But I was there with Jim, Aaron Zier, Aaron's friend Josh, and we were drinking, they did a they had a tap takeover from Toplin Goliath, so they had all their big stouts on.
00:47:39.920 --> 00:47:53.039
We were just drinking big stouts, and it was probably, I remember specifically, the next morning driving back from Fort Collins, talking to my dad on the phone, and I said, I think this is this might be the happiest I've ever been.
00:47:53.280 --> 00:47:54.480
Oh, oh, Dan.
00:47:55.039 --> 00:47:59.119
It was, and I just, yeah, I was like on the highway heading back to Denver.
00:47:59.199 --> 00:48:06.559
I was gonna meet the Lupulin guys at a brewery in Louisville, Colorado, which is like on the way back.
00:48:06.719 --> 00:48:11.519
And I just remember talking to my dad, just having a great conversation with him, and he's like, How is it?
00:48:11.599 --> 00:48:12.719
I'm like, this is just great.
00:48:12.880 --> 00:48:14.880
He knew that I loved Colorado so much.
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:18.559
He knew that I just something about that place is magical.
00:48:18.719 --> 00:48:22.000
Fort Collins, especially, is just such a magical place.
00:48:22.159 --> 00:48:23.679
And I yeah, I just remember that moment.
00:48:23.840 --> 00:48:29.199
Like it was sunny, driving back early October, because that was that was Wednesday.
00:48:29.440 --> 00:48:30.960
It was Wednesday afternoon.
00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:37.440
So we were heading back because I was going to the What the Funk uh beer festival that night.
00:48:37.599 --> 00:48:38.320
That's a good name for that.
00:48:38.880 --> 00:48:41.519
Yeah, it was like a lot of sour beers, Wood Age beers.
00:48:41.679 --> 00:48:45.440
And then the next day was Thursday, which was like Great American Beer Festival.
00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:57.360
And the reason I was out there was because myself and Eric Gwentling, we were both the main writers for Beer Ploma at the time, and we had brewed a beer that Lupilin entered in uh Great American Beer Festival.
00:48:57.519 --> 00:48:57.760
Nice.
00:48:57.920 --> 00:49:01.360
So they're like, You helped us brew this beer, we'll buy you a brewer's pass as you come out with us.
00:49:01.440 --> 00:49:02.079
It was incredible.
00:49:02.239 --> 00:49:02.719
That's so cool.
00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:05.920
And then they wound up winning gold for their Dortmunder.
00:49:06.159 --> 00:49:09.039
We got to go on stage and give Charlie Papesian a fist bump.
00:49:09.119 --> 00:49:10.559
And that was really, really cool.
00:49:10.719 --> 00:49:12.800
And I was on Cloud Nine for the entire time.
00:49:12.960 --> 00:49:13.360
It was great.
00:49:13.519 --> 00:49:15.920
So yeah, that was Jim Stroner.
00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:17.679
I've known him for many years.
00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:18.719
He's just a great person.
00:49:18.800 --> 00:49:20.480
He and his wife Lori are just awesome.
00:49:20.639 --> 00:49:22.719
Like he was saying, he's off to Denmark soon.
00:49:22.880 --> 00:49:27.760
I mean, he's been in Africa, he's been to they went to Iceland, they they go everywhere.
00:49:27.840 --> 00:49:30.880
It's just living photographer.
00:49:31.199 --> 00:49:32.320
Well, you know, he does that.
00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:34.880
Yeah, he always brings his photography equipment.
00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:45.039
Usually, I mean, a lot of times when he went to Africa, he got great pictures of wildlife, and it was like a guided thing, so they got like the right spots to see the animals and everything.
00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:45.840
It was just amazing.
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:53.039
But he's the type of person that will set his alarm for 3:30 and climb up a hill to set up his tripod to get the sunrise.
00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:54.880
He just knows
just exactly.
00:49:54.960 --> 00:49:58.639
And then, of course, the pictures turn out absolutely magnificent.
00:49:58.880 --> 00:49:59.599
That's really cool.
00:49:59.840 --> 00:50:00.880
Yeah, so we met Jim.
00:50:01.039 --> 00:50:05.119
You met Jim at the Blessing of a Mybach, and then it was time to go do something else.
00:50:05.280 --> 00:50:07.119
I wasn't quite sure what we were gonna do after.
00:50:07.360 --> 00:50:09.360
I mean, again, you were really pushing for Bullshorn.
00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:13.119
Pushing for Bullshorn, but that's only because I love their burgers.
00:50:13.199 --> 00:50:16.000
I've been thinking about the burgers, like burgers on the mine.
00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:18.559
But we uh we opted for Waldman, which was great.
00:50:18.639 --> 00:50:20.000
I had the schnitzel sandwich.
00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:22.559
You had like, I think that was like the best beer cheese soup I've ever had.
00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:23.519
Beer cheese soup.
00:50:23.679 --> 00:50:25.039
Holy cats at Waldman.
00:50:25.280 --> 00:50:26.000
That was really, really good.
00:50:26.320 --> 00:50:27.280
I've been craving it.
00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:28.239
It was so good.
00:50:28.559 --> 00:50:29.440
Had you had it before?
00:50:29.599 --> 00:50:29.840
No.
00:50:30.079 --> 00:50:33.920
No, I was just thinking like I didn't want I didn't want like a big meal and soup like a few.
00:50:35.840 --> 00:50:36.880
Soup just sounded really good.
00:50:37.039 --> 00:50:38.159
Are you kind of a freeze baby?
00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:39.519
Do you get cold easily?
00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:44.239
I have like a really really narrow temperature range of when I'm comfortable.
00:50:44.400 --> 00:50:44.559
Yeah.
00:50:44.800 --> 00:50:52.000
And if I'm on either side of it, you're gonna hear me complaining very vocally that I am too cold or I am too hot and I'm unhappy.
00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:52.719
Yeah.
00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:59.599
Well, yeah, and we we got to sit in the front room at Waldman, which is the original footprint of the building.
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:05.679
So the two people that owned Waldman, Anton and Wilhelmina, their bedroom was right upstairs.
00:51:05.760 --> 00:51:07.039
Oh in the Buffalo room.
00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:08.079
I've been in that room.
00:51:08.239 --> 00:51:08.480
Yeah.
00:51:08.639 --> 00:51:09.119
It's cool.
00:51:09.360 --> 00:51:09.679
It is.
00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:15.840
And we were sitting right next to like uh a little heater stove, and I we asked them, like, could you turn this on?
00:51:15.920 --> 00:51:16.559
And they're like, no.
00:51:16.800 --> 00:51:17.679
No, that's sorry.
00:51:18.320 --> 00:51:18.639
Yeah.
00:51:19.119 --> 00:51:19.920
Not happening.
00:51:20.159 --> 00:51:21.760
That was yeah, it was a fun day.
00:51:22.159 --> 00:51:24.559
It was a super fun day and really fun people to hang out with.
00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:25.039
Yep.
00:51:25.199 --> 00:51:36.880
Yeah, I love that that that day felt like pre-COVID when you just go out and just meet up with people and you're I mean, we had like a I mean, I knew I wanted to do the blessing, but beyond that, I really didn't have much of an agenda.
00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:39.599
And it turned out to be quite the good time.
00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:43.519
And then you went over and played more games after that because you still had your wristband on.
00:51:43.840 --> 00:51:44.800
I still had my wristband on.
00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:54.880
E, one of the brewers at Bad Weather, was working the tent with her partner, Kayla, and we sat and chatted for a little bit, had a Mexican lager, got on Galaga, played that for a while.
00:51:55.199 --> 00:51:56.159
It was just nice.
00:51:56.320 --> 00:51:56.880
I don't know.
00:51:56.960 --> 00:51:57.599
It was just good.
00:51:57.679 --> 00:51:59.679
Yeah, all in all, a very good weekend.
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:00.719
Solid weekend.
00:52:00.800 --> 00:52:02.639
And I I went back out on Sunday.
00:52:02.880 --> 00:52:03.360
Yes.
00:52:03.599 --> 00:52:06.159
I went down to Trove in Burnsville on Sunday.
00:52:06.239 --> 00:52:12.239
My friend Brian was doing a fun run that was also uh slash walk slash crawl.
00:52:12.960 --> 00:52:13.519
Oh boy.
00:52:13.679 --> 00:52:14.079
I don't know.
00:52:14.239 --> 00:52:17.599
Dog friendly, just organized a little thing down at Trove.
00:52:17.679 --> 00:52:18.400
So went down there.
00:52:18.480 --> 00:52:22.480
I took my BFF Bella and one of her moms, Victoria, came with me.
00:52:22.559 --> 00:52:24.239
So we went and we we walked.
00:52:24.320 --> 00:52:25.280
We were not running.
00:52:25.519 --> 00:52:30.159
And it turns out that everybody walked because there were quite a few dogs in the group here.
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:30.639
Oh, nice.
00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:35.119
Um so we we did uh a fun walk and then went back to Trove and had some beers and hung out for a while.
00:52:35.360 --> 00:52:35.920
Oh good.
00:52:37.360 --> 00:52:38.239
Sunday was a nice day.
00:52:39.440 --> 00:52:40.639
Yeah, I went on a bike ride.
00:52:40.719 --> 00:52:42.480
I went on a very long bike ride that day.
00:52:42.639 --> 00:52:43.039
It was great.
00:52:43.440 --> 00:52:44.719
Perfect weather for being outside.
00:52:45.360 --> 00:52:47.119
Although we are drinking all the beers inside.
00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:48.000
That's okay.
00:52:48.639 --> 00:52:50.400
Do they they don't really have a patio though, do they?
00:52:50.639 --> 00:53:00.320
They do have a patio like out by the parking lot, but they also have um there's like a planter that's right by their front door that a duck has decided to lay her eggs in.
00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:01.039
Oh, cool.
00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:04.000
So when you go to go in there, or it can be territorial.
00:53:04.320 --> 00:53:09.840
You you kind of don't like somebody Brian pointed out the duck to me because I didn't originally like see it.
00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:12.159
I think he told me it was there
and I still didn't see it.
00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:18.639
But that duck is just in the planter, right next to you, giving you a little side eye, but not flinching.
00:53:18.960 --> 00:53:21.280
Well, yeah, they're hunkered down, keeping their eggs warm.
00:53:21.519 --> 00:53:25.280
And there were so many dogs going in and out that front door, and that duck just stood her ground.
00:53:25.440 --> 00:53:25.920
That's crazy.
00:53:26.079 --> 00:53:31.840
Growing up, we had a male and female mallard who would every spring come back and nest in our yard.
00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:33.840
I named them Dwayne and Darlene.
00:53:34.000 --> 00:53:35.840
Oh, so they were very cute.
00:53:36.079 --> 00:53:41.199
And they would, yeah, they would, I mean, she'd set up her nest in one of the gardens, and they'd just be there.
00:53:41.280 --> 00:53:42.880
I think mallards are absolutely beautiful.
00:53:43.119 --> 00:53:47.280
Of all the spots though, to to drop your eggs, that was probably not a great one.
00:53:49.039 --> 00:53:51.199
They'll just do that wherever and just like, okay.
00:53:51.440 --> 00:53:52.719
There was a no, you weren't there.
00:53:52.800 --> 00:53:53.920
Who was I who was I with?
00:53:54.079 --> 00:53:59.679
There was at 56 last year, a duck had like done the same thing in like one of their planters right by the door.
00:53:59.840 --> 00:54:00.079
Yeah.
00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:01.679
That's not a nature place.
00:54:01.920 --> 00:54:03.039
Like it's just kind of funny.
00:54:03.119 --> 00:54:03.920
So good times.
00:54:04.239 --> 00:54:04.800
Don't put it there.
00:54:04.880 --> 00:54:07.039
I I kept asking, like, did somebody name the duck?
00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:08.480
I think the duck needs a name.
00:54:08.639 --> 00:54:10.639
It's kind of like the the mascot down there.
00:54:10.800 --> 00:54:11.440
Yeah, I would think.
00:54:11.760 --> 00:54:17.440
I mean, I've seen brewery cats, I've seen brewery dogs, I've seen a brewery cockatoo, never a brewery duck.
00:54:17.519 --> 00:54:19.280
Maybe that's the next, maybe that's the next thing.
00:54:19.519 --> 00:54:19.840
Could be.
00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:21.119
What do we got on the horizon?
00:54:21.199 --> 00:54:21.599
What's next?
00:54:23.039 --> 00:54:26.559
We have some upcoming things that you've you've you want to check out.
00:54:26.880 --> 00:54:27.119
Yeah.
00:54:27.360 --> 00:54:29.679
So May, Saturday, May 16th.
00:54:29.840 --> 00:54:32.079
Coming up like two, two weekends from now.
00:54:32.159 --> 00:54:35.039
It'll be like the weekend after this this episode is released.
00:54:35.199 --> 00:54:35.280
Yep.
00:54:35.519 --> 00:54:37.679
So you're probably hearing this maybe on a Tuesday-ish.
00:54:38.000 --> 00:54:39.760
It'll be the Saturday after that, May 16th.
00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:43.039
Boom Island is having their nights and pints event.
00:54:43.519 --> 00:54:43.920
Nice.
00:54:44.400 --> 00:54:45.840
So I went to this last year.
00:54:46.000 --> 00:54:46.239
Okay.
00:54:46.480 --> 00:54:54.159
We've talked about these guys before because I think they were supposed to be at Winter Beer Dabbler, and then because of the cold template temperatures, they had to back out and not be there.
00:54:54.559 --> 00:55:02.079
But it is the Twin Cities Wyvern's armored combat and also the flowers of battle, which I think is their their women's, their femme team.
00:55:02.320 --> 00:55:02.559
Okay.
00:55:02.800 --> 00:55:04.800
So it is it is armored combat.
00:55:05.119 --> 00:55:08.239
People are in armor, like metal armor.
00:55:08.400 --> 00:55:14.480
They're swinging weapons at each other and hitting each other and fighting and duking it out in like this little ring that they have set up.
00:55:14.639 --> 00:55:16.400
It is the coolest thing to watch.
00:55:16.639 --> 00:55:17.760
Oh, yeah, that'll be fun.
00:55:17.920 --> 00:55:18.800
I am so excited.
00:55:18.880 --> 00:55:20.800
I went last year, it was a blast.
00:55:20.960 --> 00:55:22.559
They're doing it again this year.
00:55:22.800 --> 00:55:25.440
It's also uh this is a costume event, Dan.
00:55:25.920 --> 00:55:26.639
You are encouraged.
00:55:26.960 --> 00:55:27.920
I'll see what I can do.
00:55:28.159 --> 00:55:29.199
It is like a little mini renovation.
00:55:29.360 --> 00:55:31.280
I don't know if I can deliver on the force right now.
00:55:31.679 --> 00:55:32.800
Little mini wren fair.
00:55:32.880 --> 00:55:39.280
You can you can dress up in your medieval costumes, your fantasy costumes, and go watch the nights and sip some pints.
00:55:39.440 --> 00:55:39.760
That's cool.
00:55:39.840 --> 00:55:40.000
Yeah.
00:55:40.159 --> 00:55:40.480
I like that.
00:55:41.199 --> 00:55:42.559
You need to see the armored combat.
00:55:42.800 --> 00:55:43.760
Yeah, that sounds fun.
00:55:43.920 --> 00:55:49.119
And then after that, we have Lupalin, their anniversary party on May 30th.
00:55:49.360 --> 00:55:49.679
Yes.
00:55:49.920 --> 00:55:53.039
It's gonna be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle theme.
00:55:54.000 --> 00:55:55.119
For the Pizza Place.
00:55:55.360 --> 00:55:56.320
For the Pizza Place.
00:55:56.559 --> 00:55:57.199
That's awesome.
00:55:57.360 --> 00:55:58.880
And that will be that will be funny.
00:55:59.119 --> 00:56:00.159
Wait, are we supposed to dress up?
00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:01.519
Everything's a costume event, Dan.
00:56:01.599 --> 00:56:03.199
Are we talking about Ninja Turtles?
00:56:03.599 --> 00:56:06.159
I asked you what turtle you were, and you were like, I don't know.
00:56:06.320 --> 00:56:06.880
The orange one.
00:56:07.039 --> 00:56:09.599
Michael, do you know you don't even know them by name?
00:56:09.760 --> 00:56:11.360
Did you watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?
00:56:11.519 --> 00:56:12.000
Yes, all the time.
00:56:12.239 --> 00:56:13.440
What was the blue one's name?
00:56:13.599 --> 00:56:15.440
I don't know all the colors with the names.
00:56:15.599 --> 00:56:19.920
There's Leonardo and Donatello and Michelangelo, and who's
the fourth one?
00:56:20.239 --> 00:56:20.719
Rafael.
00:56:21.599 --> 00:56:25.840
God believe the answer you were looking for is Raphael.
00:56:26.000 --> 00:56:27.199
Nobody cares about that one.
00:56:27.519 --> 00:56:28.480
Is he the orange one?
00:56:28.639 --> 00:56:29.760
No, that's Michelangelo.
00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:31.840
That's the one I am, so I don't care about the rest.
00:56:32.400 --> 00:56:35.840
Anyhow, brush up on your Teenage Mutant Ninja trivia.
00:56:35.920 --> 00:56:37.679
And if you want to go in costume, you could do that.
00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:40.239
Or you could dress in all yellow and be April O'Neal.
00:56:40.320 --> 00:56:43.119
Or you could be Shredder or you could be Splinter or Casey Jones.
00:56:43.519 --> 00:56:44.320
Got a lot of options.
00:56:44.480 --> 00:56:44.719
Yeah.
00:56:44.880 --> 00:56:49.440
I had a ton of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle action figures, and I had the turtle van.
00:56:49.519 --> 00:56:53.760
It was one of the coolest action figure vehicles of all the action figure vehicles I had.
00:56:53.920 --> 00:56:56.400
That's counting some Star Wars ones, a lot of G.I.
00:56:56.480 --> 00:56:56.719
Joes.
00:56:56.960 --> 00:56:57.199
Yeah.
00:56:57.440 --> 00:57:02.960
Okay, I'm gonna be really disappointed if we go to this and there are not people in turtle costumes.
00:57:03.199 --> 00:57:04.159
What if there's turtles?
00:57:04.320 --> 00:57:05.519
That'll kind of make up for it.
00:57:05.760 --> 00:57:08.159
You should dress as the I Like Turtles kid.
00:57:08.239 --> 00:57:08.800
That would be next to it.
00:57:08.960 --> 00:57:09.599
What does that kid look like?
00:57:09.760 --> 00:57:10.800
You've never seen that meme?
00:57:11.039 --> 00:57:11.360
No.
00:57:11.599 --> 00:57:17.119
It's just like news ladies at a fair, and this kid is looks like he's got the plague.
00:57:17.519 --> 00:57:18.559
His eyes are all black.
00:57:18.639 --> 00:57:20.239
He's like, I like turtles.
00:57:21.519 --> 00:57:22.800
It's really funny.
00:57:23.119 --> 00:57:24.159
You gotta check that out.
00:57:24.320 --> 00:57:25.280
It's uh it's good.
00:57:25.440 --> 00:57:25.679
Oh.
00:57:25.920 --> 00:57:27.360
I'm sure there'll be people dressed up.
00:57:27.519 --> 00:57:28.239
I'll work on that.
00:57:28.400 --> 00:57:29.280
It'll be fine.
00:57:30.079 --> 00:57:31.119
I don't recommend that.
00:57:31.199 --> 00:57:31.599
I don't know.
00:57:31.679 --> 00:57:32.559
Maybe I or do.
00:57:32.719 --> 00:57:33.280
I'm excited.
00:57:33.440 --> 00:57:36.400
I think they're gonna have some special variants of pizzas there.
00:57:36.480 --> 00:57:39.199
I mean, uh was really, really good.
00:57:39.440 --> 00:57:41.599
And they're doing two beer releases, so it'll be fun.
00:57:41.760 --> 00:57:42.639
I'm looking forward to that.
00:57:42.800 --> 00:57:44.239
That was I remember last year.
00:57:44.400 --> 00:57:49.360
That was uh that was on like I was waiting in line and I felt this tap on my shoulder.
00:57:49.519 --> 00:57:50.000
I turned around.
00:57:50.159 --> 00:57:50.719
It was you.
00:57:50.960 --> 00:57:52.079
That's not weird at all.
00:57:52.320 --> 00:57:54.960
I was like, oh, hello, how are you doing?
00:57:55.199 --> 00:57:58.000
I don't think I had seen you since the winter dabbler.
00:57:58.239 --> 00:57:58.880
That's probably true.
00:57:59.039 --> 00:57:59.199
Yeah.
00:57:59.360 --> 00:58:01.199
And then all of a sudden I was in line behind you.
00:58:01.440 --> 00:58:03.519
And now we're ho we're we're hosting a podcast.
00:58:03.920 --> 00:58:04.639
Look how far we've been.
00:58:04.960 --> 00:58:06.000
That's just great.
00:58:06.400 --> 00:58:06.559
Yeah.
00:58:08.480 --> 00:58:13.440
The other event I have on the horizon is not until Friday, June 26th, but it's a really big one.
00:58:13.679 --> 00:58:14.000
Yeah.
00:58:14.239 --> 00:58:18.000
It is the Pride Beer Dabbler at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.
00:58:18.239 --> 00:58:21.840
I unfortunately am going to be out of town in Dallas for work.
00:58:21.920 --> 00:58:24.079
And I cannot explain to you how sad I am.
00:58:26.480 --> 00:58:30.639
Well, I'm sure Dallas at the end of June is gonna be real nice.
00:58:30.880 --> 00:58:31.519
It will not be.
00:58:31.599 --> 00:58:33.119
It's gonna be super hot.
00:58:33.280 --> 00:58:36.880
I'm gonna be super unhappy, and why am I not at Pride Dabbler?
00:58:37.119 --> 00:58:38.079
Yeah, I'll take pictures.
00:58:38.320 --> 00:58:38.639
Thanks.
00:58:38.960 --> 00:58:40.800
It'll be it'll be good.
00:58:41.519 --> 00:58:43.039
Look at all the fun I'm having.
00:58:43.360 --> 00:58:44.719
Hey, look at this.
00:58:45.599 --> 00:58:48.320
I dressed as a forest nymph, so you could have.
00:58:48.480 --> 00:58:49.039
Oh my god.
00:58:49.440 --> 00:58:51.039
So you feel like you're here.
00:58:51.440 --> 00:58:51.760
Yeah.
00:58:52.079 --> 00:58:54.320
Now that's a that's one where a lot of people dress up.
00:58:54.719 --> 00:59:00.960
Because the breweries, usually there's usually a theme in a lot of the breweries that go dress up as the theme.
00:59:01.119 --> 00:59:06.239
Like one year they did like musical icons and like Elton John, Lady Gaga.
00:59:06.480 --> 00:59:07.679
Like it was really, really cool.
00:59:07.920 --> 00:59:09.920
You're trying to make me more upset that I'm gonna miss this.
00:59:10.079 --> 00:59:10.800
No, I don't know.
00:59:11.039 --> 00:59:14.639
Tickets are on sale now, so everybody else who can go, you should go grab a ticket.
00:59:14.800 --> 00:59:15.679
Yeah, get your tickets.
00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:16.719
You can all taunt me.
00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:17.760
Early and often.
00:59:17.920 --> 00:59:18.800
Yeah, that's that's fun.
00:59:18.960 --> 00:59:20.719
Summer's just it's almost here.
00:59:20.880 --> 00:59:21.360
Almost here.
00:59:21.440 --> 00:59:23.039
We got like one month left.
00:59:23.119 --> 00:59:24.719
I think there's like eight, I don't know.
00:59:24.800 --> 00:59:27.360
I I
had a count the other day of like days left of school.
00:59:27.440 --> 00:59:29.920
It's like 22 or something, so we're getting there.
00:59:30.079 --> 00:59:31.599
You're supposed to have a solid count, Dan.
00:59:31.760 --> 00:59:31.920
I know.
00:59:32.159 --> 00:59:32.320
Come on.
00:59:32.480 --> 00:59:32.719
I know.
00:59:32.960 --> 00:59:34.000
What kind of teacher are you?
00:59:34.159 --> 00:59:35.760
Uh mediocre at best.
00:59:35.920 --> 00:59:36.239
Oh.
00:59:36.880 --> 00:59:38.239
That's what I have on the horizon.
00:59:38.400 --> 00:59:38.639
Yeah.
00:59:38.880 --> 00:59:40.239
There's a lot of other stuff happening here.
00:59:40.480 --> 00:59:40.719
Yep.
00:59:40.800 --> 00:59:45.840
Yeah, there'll be more, there'll be more things, and you know, just keep listening to the brewery adventure.
00:59:46.000 --> 00:59:46.159
Yeah.
00:59:46.400 --> 00:59:50.000
Here, I think we probably will do We were talking about Tillion.
00:59:50.079 --> 00:59:50.400
Yes.
00:59:50.639 --> 00:59:52.719
Heading up there or heading down there, I should say.
00:59:52.800 --> 00:59:54.400
We'll have a lot more fun stuff in store.
00:59:54.719 --> 00:59:56.000
Some little mini road trips.
00:59:56.079 --> 00:59:57.599
We're definitely going down to Rochester.
00:59:57.679 --> 01:00:01.199
I feel like there's a smattering of breweries I want to go to in Rochester.
01:00:01.440 --> 01:00:01.679
Yep.
01:00:01.760 --> 01:00:04.239
And one place where you can get like 30 seltzers on tap.
01:00:04.480 --> 01:00:05.519
I don't know if I need to go there.
01:00:05.760 --> 01:00:06.559
Yeah, we're not.
01:00:06.800 --> 01:00:06.960
Oh.
01:00:08.239 --> 01:00:10.000
But such a place exists.
01:00:10.639 --> 01:00:14.960
Woo! I mean, I don't mind a seltzer.
01:00:15.039 --> 01:00:18.000
I don't know that I would drive all the way down to Rochester for seltzer, though.
01:00:18.159 --> 01:00:18.559
Nope.
01:00:18.800 --> 01:00:19.119
No.
01:00:19.440 --> 01:00:19.760
Nope.
01:00:20.079 --> 01:00:20.559
It's okay.
01:00:20.719 --> 01:00:20.880
Yeah.
01:00:21.039 --> 01:00:21.920
Yeah, that's what I know.
01:00:22.159 --> 01:00:22.400
Alright.
01:00:22.639 --> 01:00:29.039
You should all check your local craft brewery to see what events they have going on because I'm sure that there are some fun things happening.
01:00:29.280 --> 01:00:29.440
Yeah.
01:00:29.519 --> 01:00:30.559
I mean, Arta World.
01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:31.760
That's also the other big thing.
01:00:32.079 --> 01:00:32.239
Yeah.
01:00:32.400 --> 01:00:37.360
And I mean, I know we're getting closer and closer to the Dangerous Man tap room opening.
01:00:37.599 --> 01:00:37.840
Yes.
01:00:38.639 --> 01:00:39.119
Do you have it?
01:00:39.280 --> 01:00:40.000
Do you have a date?
01:00:40.159 --> 01:00:41.199
I'll probably have a date.
01:00:41.519 --> 01:00:43.519
I feel like you have a date now and you just can't say it.
01:00:44.079 --> 01:00:47.119
I'm interviewing Jeremy Coons, the owner.
01:00:47.360
--> 01:00:47.840
Next week.
01:00:48.000 --> 01:00:49.280
So he'll have some details.
01:00:49.360 --> 01:00:56.239
So you'll just have to either pay attention to social media or wait for the next episode of a one-pint stand to come out and all the details.
01:00:56.559 --> 01:00:57.920
Welcome back, Dangerous Man.
01:00:58.079 --> 01:00:59.039
Yes, I'm excited.
01:00:59.199 --> 01:01:05.119
Yeah, and then Broken Clock does their like sound wave mus outdoor music thing on the 16th.
01:01:05.199 --> 01:01:07.039
So there's a lot going on in Minneapolis.
01:01:07.280 --> 01:01:08.000
Those of us in St.
01:01:08.159 --> 01:01:12.880
Paul will be just quietly gardening, listening to Enya in our forest nymph uniforms.
01:01:13.280 --> 01:01:16.079
Say the way, say the way, say the way.
01:01:16.559 --> 01:01:17.199
What?
01:01:18.159 --> 01:01:20.480
With that, Dan, where can people find you?
01:01:20.800 --> 01:01:23.920
People can find me uh by searching up a one pint stand.
01:01:24.159 --> 01:01:28.480
I'm on Instagram, Facebook, Blue Sky, Mastodon, and TikTok.
01:01:28.719 --> 01:01:39.119
And if you want to read about stories, go to a onepintstand.com because I'm about halfway through with the second article from our Milwaukee trip.
01:01:39.280 --> 01:01:39.599
Yeah.
01:01:39.840 --> 01:01:42.639
First one was a deep dive into the mustard museum.
01:01:42.719 --> 01:01:43.760
So that was a lot of fun.
01:01:45.199 --> 01:01:47.039
Yeah, so a lot of written stuff on there.
01:01:47.280 --> 01:01:47.519
Awesome.
01:01:47.599 --> 01:01:48.320
I am Courtney.
01:01:48.400 --> 01:01:58.000
You can find me at the Brewery Adventure on Instagram, or you can email me, Courtney at the BreweryAventventure.com, or visit thebreweryadventure.com if you'd like to go to the website and check out our previous episodes.
01:01:58.159 --> 01:01:58.880
That's all we've got.
01:01:59.039 --> 01:02:01.039
Again, go support your local craft brewery.
01:02:01.280 --> 01:02:02.639
Yes, get outside.
01:02:08.559 --> 01:02:10.320
Someday it'll be 75 and sunny.
01:02:10.559 --> 01:02:13.039
We could just get like multiple days that are nice.
01:02:13.280 --> 01:02:13.519
I know.
01:02:13.920 --> 01:02:15.280
It gets nice and then it gets crappy.
01:02:15.679 --> 01:02:16.480
Gardening.
01:02:17.119 --> 01:02:18.960
You are gonna be gardening to Enya.
01:02:20.079 --> 01:02:21.039
I wasn't joking.
01:02:21.119 --> 01:02:23.360
That was the only honest thing I said all podcasts.
01:02:23.519 --> 01:02:25.519
Wait, are you gonna be wearing a forest nymph costume?
01:02:26.719 --> 01:02:30.639
Oh only time will tell.
01:02:34.159 --> 01:02:36.960
Check my neighbor's ring cam.
01:02:38.239 --> 01:02:38.880
Let's do this.
01:02:39.039 --> 01:02:40.159
Oh that's not a good one.
01:02:40.239 --> 01:02:41.360
Okay, yeah, that's all I got.
01:02:41.679 --> 01:02:42.400
That's all we got.
01:02:42.719 --> 01:02:45.039
We will see you next time on the brewery adventure.
01:02:45.360 --> 01:02:45.840
Cheers!
01:02:47.840 --> 01:02:50.480
I think the microphones hit and the glasses hit.
01:02:50.800 --> 01:02:51.119
Everything.
01:02:53.039 --> 01:02:53.280
Oh yeah.
01:02:53.519 --> 01:02:53.599
Yeah.
01:02:53.760 --> 01:02:54.880
You guys got it nice.
01:02:55.280 --> 01:02:57.119
Oh my god.
01:02:57.360 --> 01:02:57.920
All right.
01:02:58.400 --> 01:02:58.960
Cut it.
01:02:59.199 --> 01:02:59.760
Cut it.
