My friend Char Dawg sits down with me for a little chat about her journey and path through life and the Chicago Craft Beer scene in which she plays a massive role. Being a part of major Chicagoland Breweries like Mikerphone and Solemn Oath, and helping put on massive events in the community like Smells like a Beer Fest and FOBAB, the festival of Barrel Aged Beers.

Meet my old friend Mike Fumagalli. Mike seems like an average suburban dude, but spend some time with us in our conversation, and you will quickly see this guy has had more curveballs thrown at him than the average Joe. Mike is a dose of inspiration, an amazing storyteller, and an insanely generous human.
I encourage you to check out the Clear Ribbon Project that Mike is a part of. https://www.clearribbon.com/

Not too often you get to talk to someone who plays profession baseball. Meet Brett Johnson. I first came across Brett when he was helping coach during the offseason for Illinois Dynasty Travel Baseball. He helped as a hitting instructor for my sons 11U Baseball team. Very cool to hear the path that led him to baseball, and to get some inside stories on life in the minor leagues.
Oh Yeah, check out his inside the park Homerun from the AAA Diamondbacks affiliate, Reno Aces, this past season. So sick. https://www.milb.com/reno/video/brett-johnson-hits-a-three-run-inside-the-park-homer

Sure, I explain all this verbally and make tons of excuses. But I have not put out a legit episode since March 2020, I had not recorded a legit episode since Feb 2021, and here I am now putting out an 8 month old episode I finally finished editing. Well, whatever, I love the guys at Brothership Brewing. We had a great conversation and we got to hear some dope stories and drink insanely good beer. From home brewers, right to the hearts of the SW Burbs beer nerd. Broship has it working.

Lockdown sucks, but it sucks less with a little Zoom chat with Alex Lovinggood and Pete from Barn Town Brewing in Iowa. We recorded this before I went with the Pro License so it was recorded in 2 35+ minute chunks. We even got guest appearances from Brandon and Amanda Wright (Werk Force) and Steve Miller (Hailstorm). There were beers chugged and shotgunned and some pretty hilarious conversation. Now you can even check out the Zoom video recording on my Youtube Channel.
