This week we welcome local craft advocate and DFW sport talk radio personality Matt McClearin was in house to chat all things local Craft Beer! We're stoked to have in a local sports talk celebrity with a large local platform that uses the bullhorn to preach the Craft Beer gospel. Matt has been a huge Craft Beer proponent here in DFW for years with a segment on local sports radio and another YouTube channel called "Sippin On The Road" and we had a blast sharing beer stories. We're blessed to have a strong voice in the DFW market sharing the good word. Hope you guys can make it in for the next episode!

Thanks for giving this episode a listen and we hope to see you in the taproom for the live taping of the next episode. Cheers!

We had another banger for the live recording of our Craft Beer podcast. We are pumped to bring back a guest that packed the house on her last visit, our homie, Owner Misty Sanford of Manhattan Project in house to chat all things MPB. Misty is one of our favorites guest as her & her company have defied conventional wisdom (and critics) since Manhattan started on the West side of Dallas. We love hosting her and thankfully the crowd always comes to support! Always a blast with MPB brews flowing!

Thanks for giving this episode a listen and we hope to see you in the taproom for the live taping of the next episode. Cheers!

This week we are excited to chat with Owner/Operator Steve Porcari of Four Corners Brewing about his unique perspective on selling his brand and ultimately buying back his independence. We were really looking forward to sitting with Steve after a decade since the first promotion he and Shawn did together. It was a blast to get caught up on all things Four Corners and get the scoop on life after a buyout and the unique opportunity to get his brand back from big beer. Great night overall!

This week we brought back our homie, Tisha Baucum Smith of Deschutes Brewery to discuss the iconic beer brand. Tisha is a longtime Craft Beer veteran & friend of Shawn's, and were pumped to have her in house to share her insights into the beer industry from a national brand perspective. Tisha dives into the cold, hard mechanics of sales and distribution in a market saturated with local startups. We explore the enduring legacy of Black Butte Porter, the technical innovation behind the Fresh Squeezed series, and the philosophical challenge of maintaining a "small-town" soul while operating on a national stage.

Thanks for giving this episode a listen and we hope to see you in the taproom for great juice and industry insight at the next live taping at the Cellar. Cheers!

This week we are highlighting the fantastic brews from our South Main Village neighbor, HopFusion Aleworks with Owner Macy Moore. Macy was a pioneer in the South Main Village, paving the way for this beautiful neighborhood to grow and flourish. He's been a beloved member of both the DFW Craft Beer community & and the Near Southside for years as he's always been the first to lend a hand on projects big and small and last to accept help in any form. A true Craft Beer sage for the rest of us to lean on. I feel like I can never thank him enough for his help with this little draft house on South Main. With all the love in our souls, we hope you enjoy this episode! Cheers!
