Black Cherry Mead now available in Cans and Draft in the Taproom, More Flavors Coming Soon! Hopefully you’ll see our product in stores or at the Renaissance Festival next year! 
Also in this episode, you get to hear a little behind the scenes on how we all work together and how weird or cool our brewery family is, you decide. Thank you to Dave for giving all of us at work a time to shine in our own creative form, Aaron with mead, me with this podcast, Taylor with the Krampus beers, Lorne with his wrestling interests, and many others. 
Thank You To Our Veterans, Thank You To Our Listeners, and Thank You To All of Our Beer Drinkers!

As October comes to an end, we bring a pre-recorded episode, but an appropriate one! Thank You to everyone who has been asking about the podcast, we’ve all been super busy with life and have been focusing on those first! #priorities
In this episode, Dave and Lorne sit and tell us about the process of getting a beer style, that none of them really drink, or like, on a market with many other pumpkin beers already out there. A well earned Lorne and Dave episode, if you know what I mean!
With the collaborative effort from the whole brewery, Cygourd was created, Half Pumpkin, Half Machine! (Oatmeal Amber Ale with some pumpkin spice) But don’t worry they also tell you how they really feel(Dave even sings about them)! 
Handmade Candles in the Taproom!! 

Thank You For the Continued Support!!!

In this awesome episode, we meet and talk to Author, Brewery Owner, and Dave’s good friend, Kelley Meyer! Find his book on Amazon, learn from his mistakes, “must read for anyone looking to open a damn brewery,” and get a laugh out of his misery so you don’t have to! 
Listen to the podcast, How NOT To Start A Damn Brewery, where Kelly autopsies dead breweries, talks with distributors, retailers, and even other industry business owners! Whilst his book was to learn from his mistakes, the podcast is expanding that scope to the mistakes of everyone he brings on his show. 
Sit down with us and learn something you didn’t know, like, he owns New Braunfels Brewing Company, he created PKL FKR(pickle f-er), or what he really feels about your homebrewed beer. Thank you for the continued support to our listeners and fans! #SupportLocal

In this questionable episode, we get some more questions provided by the r/Houston r/Craft Beer subreddit added by Lorne!

In this relaxing episode, Dave and Lorne sit down and catch us up on what’s been going on their lives and also, here at the brewery. The guys pull up some subreddit questions that were submitted on r/craftbeer(If you know, you know), answered some serious, some funny, but all in all very interesting segment. You might even learn something!  Let us know what you think about this type of episode! #SupportLocal
