On this episode, we imbibe with Jimmy Misner, head brewer of Door 4 Brewing, and his wife Karalee. We learn about Jimmy's home brewing career, how he made the immediate transition to head brewer, and sample some of his libations.

On this week's episode, we speak with Jason Tapp, owner of Greek's Pizzeria & Tapp Room in Franklin, IN. Jason has created an amazing partnership with Greek's Pizzeria, one that features not only their famous pizza but 30 taps of legitimate craft beer from all over the country. What makes Jason's taproom unique is his ability to procure top-of-the-line libations like Founders KBS & CBS, Goose Island BCBS, and plenty of 3 Floyd's Zombie Dust. He's gone even a step-further by offering one-of-a-kind services like selling kegs to customers. Find out more about the Tapp Room and Jason's plans for the future.

We traveled to Franklin, IN to visit the River City Winery Franklin Tasting Room. There we chatted with owner Brian Alvey about the winery, why they opened a tasting room, why they chose Franklin, and learned more about the wine they produce.

Ant Blair, the face of Craft Picks TV, drops by to imbibe and chat about his journey into craft beer media. His story starts back in the 80's but it wasn't until last year that he found his true calling. With a background in marketing, Blair shares the knowledge he has gained on how to create and market your content. He also brought a treasure trove of beers (Sip of Sunshine, M-43, Foggy Nuggets, and many more) for us to imbibe on throughout the episode.

We traveled to St. Peters, MO to sit down with Abbey Spencer of Third Wheel Brewing. Abbey explained how she got her start in the industry, started homebrewing, and was then asked to be head brewer of Third Wheel without any professional experience. Throughout the conversation we sample the beers that Abbey brews and learned that most of them were her homebrew recipes, which by tasting them helped explain how she was snatched up without needing any professional brewing experience. Yes, they were that good.

James Dulhanty of Kitto Insurance dropped by with Russian River Pliny the Elder and 18th Street Candy Crushable so we let him tell us more about his unique adventure into the brewery insurance game.

Lyndon Smith and Rob Seivert from Cedar Grove, NC-based Botanist & Barrel joined us to talk about their wines and ciders. Lyndon and Rob had the distinct honor of being our first non-Indiana guests and unfortunately, the opening seconds came out distorted thanks to the software we were using. However, the rest of the episode is great. We learned a lot about their techniques, the blueberry farm they own, and the six cider/wine samples they sent us. So grab a drink and come imbibe with us!
