    #55 - Dancing Goat Distillery w/ Nick Maas

    In this episode I traveled to Cambridge, WI and had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Nick Maas - owner and operator of Dancing Goat Distillery! Nick's family story weaves through the halls of alcohol history from moonshining, creating RumChata, and all the way to Charlie Berens' Brandy and cementing themselves as one of Wisconsin's largest craft operations. I can't thank Nick and Dancing Goat's Marketing Manager Beau enough for their warm welcome and willingness to sit down with me. Truly appreciate their kinship in spirits and the amazing story of their brand.

    #50 - Lakefront Brewery w/ Russ Klisch & Mike Stodola

    In this episode, I traveled to my hometown and beer capital of the world: Milwaukee, Wisconsin! I had the unique privilege of sitting down with Owner Russ Klisch and Brand Manager Michael Stodola to hear their individual stories of getting into craft beer and the story of Lakefront itself. This episode was recorded at the end of July and unfortunately Michael passed suddenly in October. With blessings from both Lakefront and the Stodola family, this episode is being released completely unedited as a tribute to Mike and his love of Lakefront and the art of brewing and branding. I am beyond grateful for his hospitality and private tour while visiting and really appreciate Russ' time and generosity.
