On today's episode of Stoned Appetit, the guys jump on a Zoom call with Fishing The Good Fight founder Jennings Hester. Jennings is a former Alabama football player who moved west a few years ago for his love of the outdoors. While working the day job he started an awareness campaign/fundraising efforts for men's mental health. Fast-forward a smidge and we're talking about Jenning's charity "Fishing the Good Fight" which uses the outdoors as a release/opportunity to help men battling with depression and personal problems. As everyone knows June is Mental Health Awareness month, and we wanted to use today's episode to talk about the often times never-discussed issues plaguing men's health. Jenning's knows this battle well, especially after his playing days, of how to stay happy, content, or sometimes not-okay are all okay. He created FtGF to allow men a place and outlet to address their personal battles, physical struggles, and everything that is often hushed about with men's health.

Everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about. We hope this episode helps shed some light on men's health issues, as well as gives you an outlet if you would like to learn more about men's mental health for you or your family members.

If you ever need anything, whether it's just someone to talk to or if you need more information, or want to get in touch with Jennings and his full team of resources, email me: [email protected] or check out their website: https://www.fishingthegoodfight.org/

Keith is the man who CREATED Blue Moon beer.. yep, that Blue Moon.. and since then, Keith has gone on to retire from Coors with a star-studded resume and launched his new company, Ceria Brewery- Non Alcoholic Beer, infused with THC.

Ceria was created in Arvada Colorado over the last 2+ years with Kieth & his wife. Keith got into the beer world after deciding being a doctor really wasnt his thing... He went on to study "beer" abroad at some foreign brewery college (yep, its real..we googled it) and then came back to CO stunt on his competitors. 30+ years of brewery knowledge, two legit beers that revolutionized the industry..all from the man on the other end of this interview!

In addition to the canna-beer talk, we also talk about Keith's childhood, how he once saved Coors Banquet, and love for Colorado... as well as foreign travels, what you do if you have no work visa in Europe and many things he's learned on his path to being one of the most inventive minds in brewing, in the world.
