A long-time industry colleague of mine, Dan Macri, SVP of Business Development at BevSource drops in to discuss over a decade of craft beverage knowledge. We talk about how the innovation of the craft industry continues to evolve with regards to sourcing, procurement, packaging materials, beverage development and much more.

BevSource has also created a pilot and quality assurance testing facility entitled THE LAB which has helped many companies get their idea off the ground and into the marketplace.

Say hi to Dan and the BevSource team at CBC!

Academy Award® nominated Filmmaker Jerry Franck pops in to fill us in on the film he’s just released entitled ‘Bottle Conditioned’ where he explores the small Belgian community of lambic beer. He's documented and traveled to learn where brewers and blenders of different generations wrestle with tradition and the increased demand for their rare beers after decades of doubting anyone would drink it.

He was intrigued by the niche following of lambics and we highlight Cantillon (!), 3 Fonteinen, and Bokke breweries. We talk tradition, history, what he saw, how he felt and the adventures of filmmaking as well as Jerry's favorite movie and what inspires him.

He also delivers his message to those striving to make in the film industry, but also any industry. Enjoy!

We're taking a trip "back in the day" with Pennsylvania Native, Senior VP of Sales and Partnerships at GoTab, Rick Malthaner.

We talk about his start in the industry many moons ago and he's seen it all - and he's still as enthusiastic as ever. We dive into the history of POS systems, his kegerator story and his genius kegged seltzer hack!

Then we get into the crux and the power of QR Codes heavily utilized by GoTab.

- Founded in 2016, GoTab processes over $250M transactions per year with operations across 35 U.S. states and growing and we dive into my phenomal first-hand experience at Guinness Open Gate in Baltimore - Easy, at our own pace, no waiting for a server, no lines, no empty glasses, no waiting on a check, and ultimately a greater overall customer experience.

I read a great article from Katie Brown of Vinepair recently and it helped me understand something that's bothered me for quite some time... the label on the Angostura Bitters bottle!  

Listen in to see how that became the perfect imperfection. Cheers, KR

In this episode, I catch up with a long-time friend that burned the boats and moved to Florida to follow a dream he truly believed in. We're talking with Mather Wiswall, the Co-Founder of the American Grid Association and Marketing Master for the Florida Grid League. 

We're discussing the Grid League - a co-ed spectator sport where atheletes compete throughout the season for a grand prize.  This sport  brings in all the elements - excitement, leadership, strategy, athleticism, communication, grit, comradery.

We talk about the journey, the bootstrapping, working with a family member/business partner that lives in a completely different state and how to balance it all to keep pushing through. 

Oh, and it's mango season in Florida!
