This week's podcast brings us to a conversation with the Hoppy Craftsmen. It's a two-part series we'll be broadcasting on our channel and the Hoppy Craftsmen on theirs. You might even call it a collaboration. In part one, we discuss the upcoming Real Wild and Woody festival and the reasons for the change in venue to Bell Bank Park. The reasons are a little bit more complex than you might think, and it's intertwined with the mission of the Guild and their strategy for coming out of the pandemic after 2 years of not having traditional event revenue. Part two delves into the Arizona Craft Brewers Guild's connections with other Guild professionals across the country. We discuss the difficulties in New Jersey and what the implications are for every state.

Interviewing OHSO brewer Bret Waters plus Beaver Street brewer Gary Blazevich about the beers being brewed, and the meaning of 988 and 1-800-273-TALK collaboration beers. Ken Wilson of Lumberyard tells us about the mission of the 988 organization. Suicide is a tragedy that has touched many in the hospitality industry. These breweries are trying to highlight the fact that there is someone to talk to. 988 is for people in crisis, and also for people looking for resources to assist others.  Save the Dates Real Wild and Woody - Saturday, August 6, 2022 - RealWildWoody.com AZBrewCon - Friday, October 21, 2022 - AZBrewCon.com ACB Festival & Awards - Saturday - October 22 - https://www.azcraftbeer.com/ *Award will be on the 20th or the 21st - More information to follow.

We were asked recently what brewery in Arizona is a sleeper brewery... you know, one that's good but no one knows about it. We think you should check out Look Cinema and Brewery in downtown Chandler as it fits right in and has the bonus of being a bar, moviehouse, and restaurant. Head Brewer Marisa Bernal started in wine and is a New Mexican brewer that has found her home in Arizona.

Rob and Andrew talk with Dave and Jesse from Oro Brewing Company and celebrate the Silver Medal-winning Trigo Suave Tangerine Wheat beer.  Oro decided to use the Covid shut-down to focus on the quality of their beers, improving packaging, and implementing a sensory evaluation program for their entire staff. All of this happening in a 2,000-square-foot brewery with 19 feet of frontage on the road. Jesse warns against the evils of complacency, and Dave shares the history of Oro as Downtown Mesa has transformed into a beer lover's paradise.
