BEER IN HAND Kevin

Andy and I discuss the birth of Starving Artist Brewing. Some of his best beers (in my opinion). The Barrel Share Program he created. Building out his beer garden.

There's a little technical difficulty, some dancing to pass the time, and a loud bang!

We also talk Lake Michigan's central coast craft beer explosion! The ultimate west (best) coast brewery tour.

A bit on the closing of 3 Floyd's Taproom. :(

Starving Artist is such a unique Michigan brewery. If you've been then then you know. If you haven't then you must find out!

This is a true Michigan craft beer destination.

***Apologizes to Olde Peninsula. Reading different posts, looks as though they will still be brewing beer!!!

So you want to open a brewery in northern Michigan? Oliver and Matt, co-owners of Five Shores Brewing in Beulah did just that.

They were kind enough to take an hour out of their day and discuss the process. After sharing a couple beers at a tailgate party, the wheels were put in motion.

We talk all things brewery and beers. Support of a local community. And why Beulah was the perfect spot for Five Shores Brewing.

Listen closely, Matt & Oliver are offering a private party for 4

One thing I've learned over the past couple of years, craft beer allows me to easily make new friends. That’s what happened here. Just two guys talking about the same passion.

I’ve been following and chatting with the guys from #TheBrewFellows for a while now. Both Alex and Mitch love craft beer, great food, and music!

Recently Alex and I, one of the “Fellows” sat in front of our computers and talked beer. We discuss what started him on this journey of craft beer love. A few “kid friendly” breweries. Also, where he enjoys going to listen to live music.

They're both based outta Grand Rapids. Get over to their Instagram page and give #TheBrewFellows a follow.

All the thanks in the world to Zack from RAMSHACKLE BREWING CO. in Jonesville, MI.

Great guy that makes great beers.

Malcolm Gladwell said it takes 10,000 hours of doing one thing to become an expert. Well that was 17 minutes. #Ihaveawaystogo

Whether during a pandemic or once it ends, I hope you find your way to Jonesville. Thank me later!

Thanks for listening. 

Kris and I talk all things Three Bridge Brewing Co.

Including his path to becoming a brewer and brewery owner. 

Surviving a quarantine shutdown as a small business owner. 

Following your dreams. 

Becoming a staple in the community.

Talking breweries and beers I picked up along a Sunday road trip. All beers were carried out and enjoyed at home. Starving Artist, Ludington Bay? Arcadia MI lookouts, Stormcloud, Five Shores, Earthen Ales, Rolling Oak
