    Rustic Reel Brewing Company

    Although we're known for our wine-drinking palates, we looooove a good story. So in this episode we grabbed our husbands and headed over to Rustic Reel to meet Susi Foerg, a creative and intelligent woman that single-handedly built Kelowna's newest brewing company: Rustic Reel. Rustic Reel opened August 1, 2019. So believe us when we say, her true grit in the face of adversity (*cough COVID cough*) and dedication to this local brewing company is amazing. Her beers received the stamp of approval from our beer-loving significant others and we actually enjoyed more than one bubbly. Best of all, everything we sampled was brewed by Susi herself. BRAVO! So what is Rustic Reel? In a nutshell it's craft beer, fishing, and community. Simple, creative, and real. They currently have the following on tap: Blonde Ale, Amber Ale, Hazy IPA, Imperial Sweet Potato Nut Brown Ale, Radler, in-house made Root Beer, and Black Currant Sour from Copper Brewing. Their designed not to bloat or upset gluten-sensitive stomachs...Susi, you had me at fishing.

    Indigenous World Winery

    "In its most romantic sense, wine is an expression of a time and a place. Through wine you can taste the land and connect with the place that it came from." This was a phenomenal interview.  We sat down with Ryan Widdup from Indigenous World Winery to learn more about wines and indigenous culture than we ever have before! It was truly mesmerizing and humbling. There's something to be said about smaller production wineries with lots of smaller boutique wines…you never know what you might find (or taste). We also learned that Chardonnay is the ultimate expression of a wine maker.  Indigenous World Winery has been open for 4 years and they've received 150 National and International Awards on their wines and spirits! This includes their flagship wine, Simo, which we had the pleasure of sampling. Best of all, they also have vodka, gin (to Beth's delight) and a whiskey is on the way.  If you're thinking of becoming a Sneena Wine Club member there's no fee to join. You simply pick it and they'll ship it. Best of all, the selections change all the time which gives you lots of variety to choose from.   Be kind and support local businesses. Here's to drinking the stars!  >>COMMERCIAL INFORMATION -The Alive Revolution- If you like our show or want to learn more about our programs and publications that we're working on check out our websites or join us on Facebook or email us with more questions or comments: info@thealiverevolution.com. -Mindset Coaching- Has this pandemic taken its toll on your relationship?

We sat down with Kristi and James Caldwell for an invigorating and fun interview. They walk us through their distillery methods and teach us that vodka and Gin are time capsule drinks. (Whiskey aged in a barrel is a different story.). These guys break it down for us and explain HOW it's made. It's hilarious, educational, and delicious.  Follow The Alive Revolution on Facebook or visit our website to learn more about the Alive Revolution.

    Poplar Grove

    In this episode we look at the philosophy of laughing through challenges versus struggling through them. Something that Poplar Grove lives and breathes through its mission statement.   “At Poplar Grove we embrace the struggle. We have a deep respect for the endless potential that lies within the land here in the Okanagan. We believe to get the best of our land we need foresight courage and the ability to laugh with nature rather than fight it.” Best of all, they support every team member and ensure everyone works as a family unit. Because when things get tough, it’s important to just connect. Character shows during tough times and great wine brings us together! Poplar Grove is also donating $5 to the BC Hospitality Foundation from each bottle of their new single-vineyard 2019 Lakeview Rose. The BCHIF supports service industry workers in case of health emergencies.  If you’ve never been to Poplar Grove, call ahead and make a reservation to dine in at their amazing restaurant.
