1 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha. I'm welcome to Stephan 2 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: ever told your protection of iHeartRadio. 3 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 2: And welcome to another edition of Happy Hour. And we're 4 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,639 Speaker 2: going to put a time stamp here because this is 5 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 2: kind of themed, not really themed, and it was by accident, 6 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 2: but we're gonna go with it. So today's March fourteenth, 7 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. And if you know, we have just 8 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 2: had spring Forward, which was awful and I hated it. 9 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,480 Speaker 2: I think we all did. I mean, I love the Sunshine, 10 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 2: don't get me wrong. I was very happy for the sunshine, 11 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 2: not so happy about the losing of the hour and 12 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 2: track being very confused about dates and well I'm always 13 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 2: confused about dates, let's to be real honest, but the 14 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 2: time and what time it was and realizing oh, it's 15 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 2: actually like five o'clock and not ten o'clock like it 16 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 2: just it puts me off. But also with that comes 17 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 2: the quickly following Saint Patrick's Day, which we don't do 18 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 2: much of on Smindy. Have we done much with Saint 19 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 2: Patrick's Day? No, No, I don't think so so. But 20 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 2: we do have kind of a themed thing for our 21 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 2: Happy Hour, And as per usual, if you are partaking 22 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,839 Speaker 2: of anything, just be conscientious and make sure you're taking 23 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 2: care of yourself and do everything in moderation. Yeah, and 24 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 2: in safety. So with that, and then also, we are 25 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 2: not being sponsored by any of the products that we 26 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 2: are talking about today. Who knows that could change whatsoever 27 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 2: in the future. I don't know, but I don't we're 28 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 2: not trying to get sponsorships through these episodes. Surprisingly, when 29 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: we get it as lovely. 30 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: Right, it's not the goal, but it's a nice outcome, correct. 31 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 2: I mean, we're happy when a good product comes our way, 32 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 2: and we get very excited, especially when it's like being 33 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: spearheaded by women or marginalized people, because there's not enough 34 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: of women and marginalized people who are a part of 35 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: the marginalized group not getting recognition or the opportunity to 36 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 2: lead in things like breweries and liquors and ownership in general, 37 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 2: and being able to be a part of an industry 38 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 2: that is sometimes more often not than not unwelcoming to 39 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 2: the marginalized community in itself. So when we get an 40 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 2: opportunity to do that and it gets to be on theme, 41 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: it just feels like it's just perfectly in place. Do 42 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 2: you know any Yes, yes, nice, yes, nice. And today 43 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 2: we are actually talking about a female owned brewery called 44 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 2: Lost Druid, which is actually located in Atlanta. There's only one, Yes, 45 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 2: there's only one, and if you ever in Atlanta, you 46 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 2: should definitely go by and check it out. They have 47 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 2: an amazing food menu as well any great space. They 48 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 2: have the best dessert pressles. Like the first time my 49 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 2: partner and I went there because it's close to our neighborhood, 50 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 2: we got very excited figuring out that we had such 51 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 2: a good location that we were that. I mean, the 52 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 2: best pretzel they had like these innovative butters and creams, 53 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 2: and I was like, yeah, give me this. I dream 54 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 2: about those pretzels by the way I do. But yeah, 55 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 2: so we're talking about Lost Druid Brewery. They were created 56 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 2: right before, like they opened right before the pandemic, so 57 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: they came in in a really precarious time and delightfully 58 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 2: they were able to keep on going and survive through 59 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: the pandemic. And I actually got to talk to the honor. 60 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 2: Her name is Stasha Flamillo Hopek, and I just listened 61 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: for that name because I didn't meet miss Stasha, and 62 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 2: I got to talk to her but I didn't ask 63 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 2: for her full name. Rookie mistake, rookie mistake. To be fair, 64 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 2: I kind of ambushed her. 65 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's also sort of awkward to ask someone for 66 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: their full name name, right, especially if they don't like know, 67 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: real legit podcasts. 68 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 2: Right. She looked at me and then rightfully so with 69 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 2: a lot of suspicion, like I was gonna ask for money, 70 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: I'm gon swear to God, we don't. We're not asking 71 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 2: for I've already bought the beer, it's in my bag, 72 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 2: we're going, and she was like, oh, okay, Like it's 73 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 2: kind of like, are you still listening to me? What's happening? 74 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: But no, Like she was wonderful and answered my questions, 75 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 2: but she was in the middle of making a drink 76 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: for a couple and I just like, hey, I'm here 77 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: to buy your beer and talk about it. So she 78 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 2: was very gracious. She was like okay, and then as 79 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 2: most of us, even myself, she doesn't listen to a 80 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 2: lot of podcasts at all because she's kind of busy, 81 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 2: and I was like, that's fair. I don't listen to 82 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: a lot of podcasts unless I have to, and that's 83 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 2: my job, y'all. Listen to our podcast, please yes, please. Yeah. 84 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 2: So she was very very kind and gracious and talk 85 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 2: to me for a few minutes. And yeah, and because 86 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 2: I'm also awkward and because I did like feel like 87 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 2: I am ambushedor I was really like, I'm going to 88 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 2: talk really fast and then leave really quickly because that's 89 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 2: what I do. Yay, But uh, yeah, so I got 90 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 2: a chance to talk with her for a second about 91 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 2: the business and about the plans and how this all 92 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 2: came about. And it's kind of like a really inspiring 93 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 2: story in a very common sense way, I think to me. 94 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 2: But yes, before we start, I did buy four different 95 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 2: types of beers. I came in with like two in 96 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: my mind, but ended up with four, and one of 97 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 2: them was for my partner who wanted kind of a stout. 98 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 2: So we got Baltic porter and it's called check Coulata 99 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 2: and I hope I had said that right is c 100 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 2: z E K O L A d A, which is 101 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 2: again a Baltic porter, which is with a session porter, 102 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 2: is what it is saying. And then I also got 103 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 2: a German culsh. Coulsh has been my take like thing lately, 104 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 2: like I've really enjoyed good culsh called the Reaper of Souls. 105 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 2: And then I saw a heff of Iison called Dream 106 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 2: of Antiquity. Uh, and this uh to me. My partner 107 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: was like, it feels more like a red l and 108 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,119 Speaker 2: I was like, know, it ends like a half of vision, 109 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 2: but it starts off with a little darker taste, like 110 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 2: a deeper taste than your typical very vibrant like bright one. 111 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 2: But I liked it. I liked the switch up because 112 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: it had both that that feel, so it was nice 113 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 2: and that one I got because they did not have 114 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: that because it's it's a winter half of vison, so 115 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 2: again it makes perfect sense in that duality, but they 116 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 2: didn't have it on the list, and it was like 117 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 2: just a few k's left and I was like, I 118 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 2: need to try this though, so I'm get it that 119 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 2: So that was like the impulse by and then the 120 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 2: beer that I actually have in my hand right now, 121 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 2: I'm gonna open it for as mr effect. So if 122 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 2: you don't like splashing sounds or does that crisp sounds 123 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 2: popping off the cants sound like what is the word 124 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 2: for this? All right? So here yeah, as a guess 125 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 2: an ode to Saint Patrick's Day, their beer called Crimson 126 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 2: King was it, which is an Imperial Irish red Ale, 127 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 2: So cheers for first and foremost, and I'm gonna take 128 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 2: a stip. Cheers, yeah, And it is exactly what it is. 129 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: It's a Imperial red Irish red Ale, so you have 130 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 2: both of those very like heavier type of beer. So 131 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 2: it's not your typical red ale, it's not your Chillians, 132 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 2: sorry y'all, because it a little more bite to that. 133 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 2: It's very delightful though. So the way they describe this drink, 134 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 2: it says it has the hops Styrian bobeck, which I've 135 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 2: never heard of, which tells me I've been out of 136 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 2: the game for a very long time when I can't 137 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 2: quite recognize the hops. The malt is a base dextrin 138 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 2: and then some letters and numbers as we know, and 139 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 2: it's a yeast is a house English ale number two. 140 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 2: So typically yeast are very unique to the location in area, 141 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 2: so I'm assuming if it's house, I'm guessing it's from 142 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 2: their location. So we have those beers of course. Lost 143 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 2: dru it is a Gaelic word for woods. Yeah. In 144 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 2: Gaelic it's a knower of thy oak, which is like 145 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 2: very themed for them, And yeah, I think a lot 146 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: of their beers though, are more European style, because you 147 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 2: see a lot of Belgian, German Polish types of beers 148 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 2: that they purposely put in there. They have a lot 149 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 2: of ESB's, if y'all are interested in stuff like that, 150 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 2: a lot of variation, though, they have a lot of 151 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 2: good beers. That's culsh though their culsh is one of 152 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 2: my favorites. What are you drinking on? Because are you 153 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 2: drinking on the same thing? 154 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: I am drinking the porter okay. 155 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 2: Because I didn't get to taste that, tell me about it. 156 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: Kind of a funny story. Samantha is very kind and 157 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: lovely as a co host, and dropped this beer off 158 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 1: to Meme and we gave ourselves enough time to try 159 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: a couple of the things. I can't find one. I 160 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: know I have it, and I didn't drink it. It's 161 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: in my fridge somewhere. But I've told you my fridge 162 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: is a mess. 163 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 2: Well, you don't, we rarely don't. You don't really have 164 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 2: a lot of food. So I'm kind of how. 165 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: I'm I can take a picture and send it to you, Okay, 166 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 1: but it's it's in there somewhere. But I don't know where, 167 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: so I went with the border, which is also kind 168 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: of fun theme. 169 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 2: I guess, so sure, Sure, I mean a Baltic porter. 170 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. Sure. It does have a high alcohol content. I'll 171 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: tell you that it's very It's very great though, So 172 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: I had I had to have a vis in last 173 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: night and I loved it. And I feel like both 174 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: of because I've only had two, were very They do 175 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: have a lot of, like you said, duality or like 176 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: there's a complexity there. But this is very great because 177 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: it's kind of got the roasted coffee, kind of nutty 178 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: almost flavor of a porter. But it it it just 179 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: goes down a much much easier than some porters do 180 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: for me, Like it's not it doesn't feel so heavy. Yeah, 181 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: but it's very nice flavor. Yeah. 182 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 2: So it is supposed to be, again like a session 183 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 2: drinking porter. So it is eight percent. Mine is nine 184 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 2: point one percent. So we're about to get lit. I'm 185 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 2: just kidding to be fair, I don't drink a lot, 186 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 2: so there's a likelihood that I'm going to take about 187 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 2: half of this and then give the rest of my partner, 188 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 2: which has been quite funny because that's then what's happening 189 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 2: like lately, I'm just like, I drink two or three 190 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 2: STIPs and then here you go, you have it. Cause 191 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 2: again I'm just I'm just the lightweight now like it 192 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 2: doesn't it's not as enjoyable. But yeah, I think I'm 193 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 2: glad to hear confused while you lost who. 194 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: I will find it? But I was so confused, I'm 195 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: confused to surrend. 196 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 2: So you have two left and one's lost. 197 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: I thought I have one left and one's lost if 198 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: you gave me. 199 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 2: Four, right, right, So you have one left and one's lost, 200 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 2: so there's total of two though. Yes, okay, okay, okay, 201 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 2: that's what I say. Yeah, this is what happens. 202 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: I was very taken aback when I went to find 203 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 1: it today. 204 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 2: Trying to figure it out. Well, anyway, what's that? Yeah, 205 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 2: So we are talking about this brewery who was able 206 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 2: to survive, And that was one of the questions I 207 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 2: had to ask, Like you surprisingly as a bra especially 208 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 2: as a brand new brewery coming out right before the pandemic, 209 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 2: how did you maintain, especially in a single location, all 210 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 2: of those things, Like you didn't have wide distribution at 211 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 2: that point. They don't do distribution actually, and that makes sense, 212 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 2: because the laws in Georgia are nuts when it comes 213 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 2: to beer and looquers, and it's absurd about who owns owners, 214 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 2: who owns the rights to distribution, and who gets paid 215 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: the most and guess what, it's not the breweries actually 216 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 2: unless they make really big deals by selling out. And 217 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 2: then you know that conversation. So she was talking about 218 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 2: the fact that they just did a really great job 219 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 2: and understanding business tactics. And I think this is one 220 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 2: of the things that I did get to compliment her, 221 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 2: and I didn't have this conversation, but it kind of 222 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 2: falls in line when we have talked about stocks and 223 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 2: how women are just better about waiting and being patient 224 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 2: to let it grow instead of being freaked out and 225 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,839 Speaker 2: doing last minute decisions or quick decisions and turnarounds, and 226 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 2: how women are able to learn the patients and do 227 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 2: things through research and not that it's because again we're 228 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 2: not saying that that's all women and it's all inherent 229 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 2: for all of us, because that's not the case at all. 230 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 2: But the fact that she did a she was a 231 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 2: business person, she was in the corporate world, and she 232 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 2: did really well in the corporate world, but she got 233 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 2: burned out as she told me, and was ready for 234 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 2: something new and wanted to do something on her own. 235 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 2: And though she didn't know necessarily a lot about breweries, 236 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 2: she knew about the business, about business sides and what 237 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 2: to do and just doing a well put together plan. 238 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 2: And the one thing I kept saying is like she 239 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 2: kept saying as I asked for her for advice for 240 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 2: women who are looking at getting out of that type 241 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 2: of corporation to something that could they can you know, 242 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 2: do that they might love or at least like grow 243 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 2: with and learn with. And she was just talking about 244 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 2: planning and making sure you're being realistic. Again, I feel 245 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 2: like as most times when it comes to gender roles, 246 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 2: for the most part, women have been taught that you 247 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 2: better be super sure and ten times more confident than 248 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 2: the regular person slash men. That's that whole, Like I 249 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 2: have to be not only the best, but ten times 250 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 2: more than that to even try for this type of conversation, 251 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 2: and in that it does help grow a really good 252 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 2: business if you do it correctly. With good beer. So 253 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 2: her husband was a homebrewer who was able to bring 254 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 2: in all of these different types of beers which were 255 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 2: amazing and very different in each one, I think, and 256 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 2: these two as a combination were able to make it 257 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 2: through this and still have a really good business practice. 258 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 2: She talked about how during the pandemic they were able 259 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 2: to work on their space in a very smart way, 260 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 2: so they have a lot of outdoor seating. Have we 261 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 2: taken you yet any No, I've never been. Okay, I'm 262 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 2: gonna have to take you because it is one of 263 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,719 Speaker 2: our favorite locations for larger crowds. I had suggested it 264 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 2: to a friend of the show, slash Old co host 265 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 2: Caroline for an event she did, and she had people 266 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 2: there because not only is it like you go up 267 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 2: to the bar so you have your own tabs and 268 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 2: think goodness, you know, keep up with things that way, 269 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 2: because that can be a mess, but have plenty of 270 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 2: seating if they have all these private spaces that they 271 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 2: can rent out, which again I think that's really really smart. 272 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 2: Especially the location they're at is very like new family friendly, 273 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 2: very new new neighborhood. You've been around there and it's 274 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 2: currently growing, So I feel like it's really good play 275 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 2: to like have that they're outdoor space, so many tables, 276 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 2: and they've changed it throughout since my partner and I 277 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 2: first visited, but like the awnings and the tables are gorgeous, 278 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 2: and then plenty of space for dogs, and like it's good, 279 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 2: it's a good spot. And she was just talking about 280 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 2: having that as an accessibility, was they were able to 281 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 2: keep open essentially. I think I'm pretty sure they had 282 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 2: to close down for a little bit, but then like 283 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 2: they were ready to open much quicker than a lot 284 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 2: of the other spaces because they were able to have 285 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 2: that kind of setting and they were able to switch 286 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 2: it up real quick from indoor to outdoor. And she 287 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 2: was just talking about, you know, making sure you have 288 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 2: a good plan, making sure you have again realistic expectations 289 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 2: and a true understanding behind what you're doing, and starting 290 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 2: a business again, all these things are ideal and all that. 291 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 2: And then she also came in saying that we didn't again, 292 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 2: we weren't looking to be distributors. We were looking to 293 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 2: be brewery that was able to be pretty much a 294 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 2: gastropub type of thing. And they brought it an amazing 295 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 2: chef I remember reading, and I don't know, we might 296 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 2: have some listeners who know more about it eventually, but 297 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 2: from what I remember reading, they brought it in like 298 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 2: one of the star chefs to start the menu, and 299 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 2: the menu was pretty impressive and it still is like 300 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 2: that Preszl dessert lives in my mind. I want it, 301 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 2: I need it, I need to go back. But making 302 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 2: sure that they had a kitchen. So the thing that 303 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 2: was different for Georgia is we had huge regulations when 304 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 2: it came to kitchens. We also know when it comes 305 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 2: to so Safe and all those certifications that happened. Industry 306 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 2: people know what I'm talking about when I say this, 307 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 2: that they have to follow all these guidelines in order 308 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 2: to be open and in order to serve these foods 309 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 2: as well. And they planned ahead to make it open 310 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 2: that way, which is which was rare for pre pandemic breweries. 311 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 2: Like most of the breweries at that point brought in 312 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 2: food trucks and brought in which is great, and had 313 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 2: like special guests, but that weren't licensed necessarily, so it 314 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 2: was a little different. That weren't always promised. I wasn't 315 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 2: always there. So this made it a friendly hangout for 316 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 2: families and like get together to where it's just not 317 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 2: a ruckus of people hopping around bars, although there's a 318 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 2: lot of breweries in that location. I was really impressed 319 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 2: and really happy by that. But yeah, so having her 320 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 2: let us know what's going on and knowing that she 321 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 2: was like, look, let's be for real, make sure you 322 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 2: know what you're walking into with at least a good 323 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 2: plan that you know can't be successful. And I was like, yeah, 324 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 2: that makes instead of just like dreams and hopes, doesn't 325 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 2: like pay the rent and bring in customers, Let's just 326 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 2: be very very honest, you know, like having that understanding, 327 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 2: especially with all these breweries that are popping up everywhere, 328 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 2: like Atlanta was at one point one of the big 329 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 2: largest growing brewery towns cities, and so making sure that 330 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 2: they stood out and remained was something there that was 331 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 2: very important to her and is very important to her obviously, 332 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 2: and not just being out there for the for the trends, 333 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 2: because it was trendy to be, you know, a brewer 334 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 2: and all these things. And I don't know has that 335 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 2: fallen out of favor yet, being a homebrewer out of 336 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 2: the hobbies. 337 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not in touch enough with the world. 338 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 2: I know I'm out of it. I haven't been in 339 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 2: the brewery world in so long. It makes me kind 340 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 2: of sad. I've thought about the other day, I was like, Okay, 341 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 2: if something falls through here, I wonder if I can 342 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 2: go work back at a brewery because I'll made me 343 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 2: some money at one point in time, and learning about 344 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 2: the breweries were all like Bears and Barley's and hops 345 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 2: and the science behind it was really incredible. You and 346 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 2: I met an event. 347 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: I know there, a professional photo was taken. We've talked 348 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: about it before and it comes up. It comes up 349 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: pretty frequently on my digital frame. 350 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 2: As it should, as it should as a relationship was 351 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 2: kindled that we didn't know at this point. But yeah, 352 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 2: So having that conversation with her, sitting with her like 353 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 2: againt ambushing her a little bit about the business was 354 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 2: really really interesting to see and seeing her take and 355 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 2: she was very just straightforward and like and knowing this 356 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 2: is a business that she's able to do and at 357 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 2: least she can control some of the things around her 358 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 2: instead of like a corporate demons on her, I guess. 359 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 2: And then yeah, having this good space, having good partnerships, 360 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 2: hopefully having good employees. They were all very much raving 361 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 2: about her. When I was like, oh, so I heard 362 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 2: you had a female owner, and they're like, yeah, she's 363 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 2: right there, she's really cool, like very like excited that 364 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 2: she was with them, And obviously she's there with them 365 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 2: helping them out and making sure that she is a 366 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 2: part of the crew and working with them, so it 367 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 2: was really nice to see as well. And yeah, and 368 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 2: these beers are quite delicious. 369 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 1: They are, and I was thinking that we definitely have 370 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: to go sometime. But these are very As I've mentioned before, 371 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: when I do Dungeons and Dragons, I bring themed beers. 372 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: These are very appropriate. The titles are great, the logo 373 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: is great, like these would fit right in. 374 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:10,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, D and D. 375 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: So I have to pick them up. 376 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 2: You're gonna have to grab some. Yep, you're gonna have 377 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 2: to go buy because they have a pretty good stock 378 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 2: honestly for to go beers. I had more options than 379 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 2: I thought, which is why I walked away with four 380 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 2: and still thinking about the others as I left. You know, like, 381 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 2: I think they have bingo there. I've been dying to 382 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 2: play bingo. I don't know why. There's two things I 383 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,959 Speaker 2: want to do right now, and that's bingo and bowling. 384 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 2: I don't know what that is about me and BT dubs. 385 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 2: I'm bad at bowling, real bad, like seventies is my score. 386 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 2: I think the highest I've ever gotten was like ninety something. 387 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 2: I never reached, so I'm not really sure why. And 388 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 2: bingo is kind of the luck of the draw. It 389 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 2: makes me nervous, like with the stamping. We need to 390 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 2: go to bingo sometime. 391 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 1: I have a whole group that love bingo.
