Creative Guts

In this episode of Creative Guts, co-hosts Laura Harper Lake and Sarah Wrightsman sit down with Helen Leavitt, owner of Auspicious Brew, the first licensed kombucha brewery in New Hampshire! Behind Helen’s drive to open Auspicious Brew was an interest in local food systems and herbalism. She expresses her creativity by experimenting with different flowers, recipes, and ingredients. Auspicious Brew offers a combination of tried and true flavors — important for distribution — and experimental, limited-run flavors. In this episode, you’ll hear the story behind the name, the flavors, and the future of the cozy, welcoming space. Of course, we also give plenty of kudos to Laura who happened to have designed the logo and the labels!

If you’re local to the New Hampshire seacoast, you can visit the tasting room in downtown Dover. The kombucha at Auspicious Brew is made by local people using local ingredients. If there is one word to describe Auspicious Brew, it’s local.

Creative Guts is pleased to announce a call for art and writing for a youth zine this summer! As a nonprofit and a podcast, Creative Guts aims to stimulate and inspire creativity by telling the stories of those who are brave enough to put themselves out there. Oftentimes the bravest are the youngest among us, harnessing creativity and imagination through self-expression. 

This edition will be a platform for youth to display their work and be part of a creative community.  Artists from the ages of 0 to 17, from any country, are welcome to apply with visual and written works in any medium: painting, drawing, sculpture, digital art, printmaking, fiber, photography, mixed media, poetry, short story (400 words maximum), etc. The best part is, it’s free to submit work! 

The zine will be available for free on our website, CreativeGutsPodcast.com, in late summer 2022 and participants will receive one free copy of a printed edition thanks to the generous support of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation.

The deadline for kiddos to submit their work is Friday, July 17th, 2022 (11:59 PM - Eastern Standard Time). 

For more details and/or to submit work, hop on over to www.CreativeGutsPodcast.com/zine.
