For this episode, we were excited to host our fellow FTW homie, Stuart Maples of Maple Branch Craft Brewery to the taproom for his first Supplier Spotlight! Nice to finally have him in to discuss the brand, the brews, and the future of the quickly beloved Fort Worth brewery. We had multiple folks ask when we're getting Maple Branch in for a Spotlight... ask and you shall receive!

Hope you enjoy the stories as much as we did here in the taproom. Make sure to check the calendar and make it in to enjoy the show as it was always intended, with a brew in hand here in person. See you soon. Cheers!

This episode we had an absolute BANGER of a Spotlight with GM & Sales Director Stephen Langton of Bottle Logic Brewing coming in hot from Cali! Stephen was a trooper, FIRING IT IN THERE after a nasty car wreck the day before this episode and performing like a trooper! He was in TX for a market visit but because of the wreck he was relegated to the Cellar to chat their incredible brews, the brewery, and the future of BL distro in Texas. THIS ONE WAS A CAN'T MISS!

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!

*Production note: unfortunately a technical snafu caused us to lose a few minutes at the start of this one but it didn't go totally tits up and is still great listen!

Recently we hosted Lance Cannon of Better Beverage Leaders representing the iconic global beer brand, Delirium! Delirium has the distinct honor of being voted "World's Best Beer" and we're here to say, "Congratulation's, you did it!" World's Best Beer!" It was great to host one of the industry's staple brands, one that got a lot of us into Craft Beer in the first place. It was a fantastic night and a treat to get Lance's insights representing such an amazing globally-recognized brand. Hope you can catch the next episode here with us. Cheers!

Hope you enjoy the stories as much as we did here in the taproom, if you can catch the series live in the taproom that's truly how this series is intended to be enjoyed! Cheers!

We were excited to chat with our friend, Owner Jeremy Roberts of 903 Brewers about his journey in Craft Beer since opening his Sherman brewery in 2013. Jeremy is now officially one of the NTX OGs and has built a brand known for BIG BOLD flavors and decadent brews of all styles, including their celebrated Barrel Aged Imperial Stouts. It was a blast to finally get him in here and hear his story. Jeremy is a true spokesperson for Local Craft Beer in the DFW and it was a blast having him in for the pod. Make sure to make it in for the next episode! Cheers!

This time we did it a little different with local Craft Beer staple, Emilio Manzano in house to discuss all the buzz with the Dynamo Distro portfolio and the future of distro in Texas. Emilio has long represented one of the best Craft Beer portfolios in the DFW market with Dynamo Distro. He's had an integral part in ensuring great brands such as Outer Range, Other Half, Trillium, The Veil, and Bottle Logic have found their way to DFW/TX. Hope you enjoy the stories as much as we did here in the taproom, if you can catch the series live in the taproom that's truly how this series is intended to be enjoyed! See you in the Taproom soon!

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!

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!

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!
