00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:06,240
This is Beer in Front, part
of the Odd Pods Media Network. Sometimes

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,320
the beer in front of you is
the best one yet. I'll talk about

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,320
some old school beers that maybe you've
forgotten about, some new classics, and

4
00:00:15,359 --> 00:00:20,519
I'll also talk to people around the
beer world, getting their stories all about

5
00:00:20,679 --> 00:00:27,679
beer. That's Beer in Front and
it's coming up now. Welcome to the

6
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:34,079
November twenty eighth edition, episode one
hundred and eighty eight of Beer in Front.

7
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:39,439
I'm your host, Dave's Alatoris and
Beer in Front is a proud Odd

8
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:45,840
Pods Media Network member. Today I'll
be talking to Corey Smayo from Garage Beer.

9
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,600
They just started to hit the Chicago
market recently, and Corey and I

10
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:55,799
will speak about garage Beer. My
friend Ray Ray sent over a carrier pigeon

11
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,000
full of beer from the Nashville area, and I'll have one from Southern Grist

12
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:06,439
later in the show. How is
Everyone's Thanksgiving? Was your stuffing nice and

13
00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:11,640
moist? If you heard the show
last week, I once again told the

14
00:01:11,719 --> 00:01:15,879
story about my grandmother and her stuffing. She would have been one hundred on

15
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:23,560
Sunday, and I have another story
about my grandmother. I'm half Sicilian and

16
00:01:23,599 --> 00:01:26,640
I'll admit I was a goofy kid. I'm goofy now, but I was

17
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:34,359
a goofy kid. I wouldn't neat
tomate a sauce on my pasta until I

18
00:01:34,359 --> 00:01:37,560
had to be twelve or thirteen years
old. I only had to have butter

19
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,200
on it. I was goofy.
But once I had it, oh,

20
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,560
I'm all in. So long before
my grandmother died, I asked her for

21
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:51,719
the recipe for her sauce. Now, if you've ever asked a relative for

22
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:56,799
a family recipe, you're not getting
precise measurements. It's always a little of

23
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:00,239
this, you get a pinch of
that. But I wrote it down an

24
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,680
index card. Where that index card
is it's long gone. That's thirty years

25
00:02:05,719 --> 00:02:10,280
ago. But after she passed,
my uncle Jimmy said he had her recipe

26
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:16,719
perfect email it to me. Once
he did, it was different. I

27
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:22,800
will bet my life I'm one hundred
percent positive that the recipe she gave me

28
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:27,280
and I made a few times,
had cans of I think the brand name

29
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:32,319
was Contadina. The tomato paste which
the recipe my uncle had didn't use.

30
00:02:32,759 --> 00:02:39,639
And I vaguely remember watching her make
it, and I'm almost positive she used

31
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:46,479
the cans of that contadina. So
long story short, she took a recipe

32
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:52,120
to the grave and she left us
hanging. You told your only son and

33
00:02:52,199 --> 00:02:59,800
your grandson something entirely different. That's
the perfect Italian grandmother story right up until

34
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,919
I at the last year or sore
of her life. She was sharp as

35
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:07,639
attack, so she knew the damn
recipe. She was busting our balls.

36
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:13,120
So Nana, wherever you are,
happy one hundredth I'll have a rob roy

37
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:19,680
in your honor. And I just
wish I kept that index card. My

38
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:24,840
back is still fried. I'm supposed
to have some injections there next Monday,

39
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:30,960
but like you know, here in
Chicago, the last ever since like Friday,

40
00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:36,240
the cold weather's kicked in. That's
making it worse. Nothing's comfortable.

41
00:03:36,639 --> 00:03:42,120
I can't stand, sit, or
walk for any period of time without being

42
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,759
in pain. Forget bending over carrying
something heavier than a twelve pack. I

43
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:53,159
might need Ruby to rub some like
malurt into my back or something to see

44
00:03:53,159 --> 00:04:01,879
if that helps. There was not
a lot of beer news with the holiday

45
00:04:01,919 --> 00:04:06,319
and all. I first heard it
on Rod Jay's show the other week that

46
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,800
Fauberg, formerly known as Dixie Brewing, is going to shut down the brewery

47
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,639
in Orleans. They've been around since
nineteen oh seven. The holding company that

48
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:23,720
owns them will continue with the name, but contract brew the beer in Georgia

49
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:28,279
and Virginia. But what I wouldn't
do for a black and Voodoo right now?

50
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,079
And speaking to Roja, my brother
in beer. He tagged me in

51
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:40,680
the most vile video the other day. He puts out this video and he

52
00:04:40,759 --> 00:04:45,680
tagged me in Afro Beer Check about
some dude and he had to be in

53
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:53,120
the suburbs. He was as Portillo's
with a bottle of alort and he poured

54
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,279
the whole bottle in like the cup
that you would get a soft drink or

55
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:02,360
soda pop in and was dunk in
the beer sandwich in the milort in eating

56
00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:08,480
this dude. I don't know who
you find this shit, but that was

57
00:05:08,519 --> 00:05:13,480
disgusting. He had to be in
the suburbs. Heineken's gonna pump another one

58
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:20,879
hundred million dollars into their silver brand
or their non alcoholic brand in twenty twenty

59
00:05:20,879 --> 00:05:25,040
four. Now I haven't had it
yet, is it any good? Let

60
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:30,160
me know. Ballast Point is bringing
back their pineapple sculpin ipa one day,

61
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:34,519
I'm going to have to do a
whole show on Ballast Point and their story.

62
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:41,160
Sierra Nevada is adding to their Little
Things line with Dank Little Thing.

63
00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:45,639
It's a hazy IPA. It should
come out in February. And finally,

64
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,480
Shiner is coming out with a non
alcoholic line next year called Shiner Rodeo.

65
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,480
Welcome Back. Garage Beer is the
fastest growing beer in the country. This

66
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:08,879
Midwest independent craft lagger is now available
in the Chicago, Nashville, and Philadelphia

67
00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:15,360
areas after taking Ohio, Indiana,
and Kentucky by storm. Joining me now

68
00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:18,399
is Corey Smaohs, the VP of
Marketing over at Garage Beer. Corey,

69
00:06:18,439 --> 00:06:23,079
thanks for talking today. Hey,
thanks for having me. Dave appreciate you.

70
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,040
Hey, ma, I love this
concept. It's a whitelogger. It's

71
00:06:27,079 --> 00:06:30,439
only four percent alcohol, ninety five
calories, not going to get you like

72
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,720
hammered or bloated after work. What
made you guys decide out, let's get

73
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,439
into the beer business here and try
this. You know, there's just like

74
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,240
like a lot of us like we
went through a craft beer phase, maybe

75
00:06:45,319 --> 00:06:49,519
like a decade ago, loving the
quality, loving all the cool varieties and

76
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:55,000
flavors, everything, but at the
same time, getting older, metapolism,

77
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,839
getting slower, just wanted to kind
of come back to something that was light

78
00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:03,160
refreshing but still of that craft quality, you know what I mean. There's

79
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:09,519
something approachable that's like familiar about like
what we love about beer, but uh

80
00:07:10,279 --> 00:07:13,480
still like kind of paying you know, close attention to the ingredients and the

81
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,839
way that goes into it and just
the care that that comes on that.

82
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,319
And so kind of saw an opportunity
I think there and uh yeah, just

83
00:07:20,399 --> 00:07:26,000
leaned into it. Did you know, either you or anyone else at Garage

84
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,160
Beer, did you have a beer
background before this? Yeah? Yeah,

85
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:36,879
yeah I used to. Before this, I was a brand director at perhaps

86
00:07:36,959 --> 00:07:42,959
Blue Ribbon, okay, and before
that, I like I ran a regional

87
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,560
brand called Stag Beer, which is
like a Midway. Yeah, so I

88
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:53,160
worked with beer for maybe half a
decade at this point. Andy Sour the

89
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,600
owner of the brand. He has
a background really like CpG packaged goods,

90
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,120
I think, just Dragle out of
beer. Uh. He worked at Jim

91
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,600
Bean before this, So all right, some of that alcohol experience for sure,

92
00:08:03,639 --> 00:08:09,279
and then just kind of understanding marketplace
and audience and all that when you

93
00:08:09,319 --> 00:08:15,560
guys were going over like the initial
business plan was this a style you always

94
00:08:15,639 --> 00:08:18,240
wanted to make? And you hit
the nail on the head, you know,

95
00:08:18,279 --> 00:08:22,399
you talked before your background with PBR
and he's like that hams are having

96
00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:28,920
a resurgence and newer brands like MONTUCKI
are doing well. As much as I

97
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:33,240
love a barrel age, a well
crafted blogger is never going out of stonech

98
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:35,840
I would think. So, yeah, no, I think from the joke,

99
00:08:35,879 --> 00:08:39,559
we just kind of went in to
make light, refreshing beer you could

100
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,519
enjoy with friends. The bread really
kind of like came out of the pandemic

101
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,720
in a lot of ways where like
the garage was sort of serving us like,

102
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,200
h that was the bar, you
know what I mean, Yeah exactly,

103
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,399
or in these places where you could
get together with your neighbors and your

104
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:58,320
friends and your community and just sort
of like enjoy each other's time and presence.

105
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,399
And so that's kind of like was
a big inspiring part of the brand

106
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,600
in itself. So yeah, from
the job, just like really easy to

107
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,919
enjoy crushable beer. So that's what
we're the business to do it for sure.

108
00:09:09,879 --> 00:09:15,840
How many batches did the team you
have to go through before you nailed

109
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,879
this recipe. That's a good question, Andy, Like, maybe it's more

110
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:24,320
like like in the developmental process,
but there the beer itself have been developed

111
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:30,120
by a brewerian in Kentucky called Braxton. Okay, Andy had tried that and

112
00:09:30,159 --> 00:09:31,600
just loved it and was like,
yo, like I want to take this

113
00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:35,360
and do more with it. You
know. I think there's been some light

114
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,080
tweaks to that original recipe, but
nothing too crazy, you know. Yeah.

115
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,759
I mean what I like about it
too, is like it's a great

116
00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:50,159
price point. It's not fourteen dollars
of four pack. How important was that

117
00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:54,200
price point to you guys when coming
out with this. I think if you're

118
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,919
going to get in the mindset of
people, like we're trying to get across

119
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,799
beer, flavored beer, live beer
the way it should be, Like,

120
00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:03,559
I think, not only does that
evoke in my mind, like uh,

121
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,279
quality assertations, but also price you
know what I mean. Like I hear

122
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,879
that, I'm like, oh,
I'm not expecting to pay like you said,

123
00:10:11,399 --> 00:10:16,080
fifty lucks for form or something.
So I think sort of an understanding

124
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,639
of good price point where we can
say, hey, this isn't exactly like

125
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:24,120
a craft beer, but it's a
much higher quality than like the average you

126
00:10:24,159 --> 00:10:28,480
know, domestic life beer. So
like something that's somewhere in between. There

127
00:10:28,639 --> 00:10:31,600
is where the quality falls, is
where the brand falls, is where the

128
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,519
price falls. Yeah, like here, I'm not sure about other markets.

129
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,919
What when I'm looking around, I
see it at around sixteen bucks a twelve

130
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,440
pack, you know, give or
take. So I mean I think that's

131
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,000
a reasonable price point. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, we put about at

132
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,320
six packs. That's allways. We
have fifteen packs for the four long All

133
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:52,360
right, cool? Too bad?
Well, you have the original one here

134
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:58,600
and the line. I'm going to
bust open the original first time having it,

135
00:10:58,639 --> 00:11:01,919
so I'm looking forward to it.
Okay, as I'm busting this open,

136
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,879
what can you tell people about you
know this beer? Well sounds good?

137
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,639
Yeah, great opening can? Uh? I mean, honestly, this

138
00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:13,039
is just what it's about. This
is what it's It says, beer flavored

139
00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:20,039
beer. The can great, poor, looks pretty, taste good? Yeah,

140
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:24,039
no, it looks great. Nice
Aroma. Here is this in all

141
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,960
walt beer to use? Good?
Miss Midwestern corn as well? We got

142
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:33,399
both. I think how's it taste? Taste? Really good? Nice?

143
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:39,039
Definitely, that's classes put it in
it last most of the industry. Yeah,

144
00:11:39,919 --> 00:11:45,440
usually like, yeah, this is
definitely a lot better than your macro,

145
00:11:46,759 --> 00:11:48,840
you know, four dollars a six
pack beer, and then you get

146
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,919
in the gas to you so this
is much better. I get the nice

147
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:58,399
walt taste, the hops are good
here. It's not you know, overpowering

148
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,840
over bitterer. This is something you
can definitely crush a couple of out in

149
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,120
the backyard, throwing some stuff on
the grill, shit like that. This

150
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,720
is just a rock solid beer,
Thank you very much. Day. That's

151
00:12:09,759 --> 00:12:11,960
what we're trying to do. We're
not trying to reinvent the wheel, just

152
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,039
make a little bit better version of
our own, you know. Yeah,

153
00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:18,720
I mean I know last year I
did a Father's Day show where I had

154
00:12:18,759 --> 00:12:22,000
a bunch of my friends come on
and they were talking about, you know,

155
00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:26,080
the beer their dad's head back in
the day, like yeah, and

156
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:31,559
strolls. I mean, I could
see garage beer being that beer for current

157
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,799
dads or moms for that metal No. I love that idea. When I

158
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,159
work on Stagger, i'd be like, oh, my grandpa used to drink

159
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,840
stag, you know what I mean? And I was like, man,

160
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,960
that'd be cool if we could create
a beer that yeah, exactly like you're

161
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,080
saying, many in like sixty years, people like all my grandboys to drink

162
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,960
that, you know, Rush Year, No, i'd be I mean some

163
00:12:50,039 --> 00:12:52,799
of those brands are like American icons, some of those names you just mentioned,

164
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,200
you know what I mean? So
oh yeah, absolutely, like in

165
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,200
the same breadth, you know as
the real honor, and we got pair

166
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,399
respect to the sad the brand.
So we just try to do it right

167
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,399
like that, you know. Yeah. Now you also have a line.

168
00:13:03,919 --> 00:13:07,279
Is it just the base garage beer
recipe with the added line or is that

169
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,399
any different? No, it's just
got line in it. That's for Jimmy

170
00:13:11,399 --> 00:13:16,360
Buffett fans, you know. Yeah. Do you have any other styles in

171
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,919
the works or y'll you know any
other beers? It's just these two for

172
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,039
now, just these two forever,
all right? Very good. What I

173
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:30,279
want to know is how did I
miss what a palooza? You guys had

174
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:35,120
a golf outing in Chicago and someone
want fifty two cases of beer? Right

175
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,000
Johnny Garage Kitty Cap in the suburbs
just nailed. But dude, you know,

176
00:13:39,159 --> 00:13:43,159
like fifteen pitters. I want to
see it again. Beer for life,

177
00:13:43,159 --> 00:13:46,120
but it was like a hundred fat
but you couldn't make it. Yeah,

178
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,559
I woult to see garage fridge that
has a huh I would I want

179
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,120
to see his garage fridge. Oh
yeah, he had to have like a

180
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,679
he had like a beer Olympics at
his house so his friends could come over.

181
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,960
So, oh sweet. We're gonna
do it again though. That was

182
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,200
with our page Spirriax. She's the
professional golf sort of celebrity. She's an

183
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:09,960
ambassador of the brand Legit pro Golfer. Just a friend and so we got

184
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,279
to use her to oest that event. We had another Fred Trey Wingo.

185
00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:16,600
He came out of the commentary.
It all came together real nice. We

186
00:14:16,639 --> 00:14:18,879
get to eat steaks at the end
of the night. Oh there you are.

187
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:20,480
Yeah, we had a good time. We're gonna do more of those.

188
00:14:20,919 --> 00:14:24,840
H four Golf is kind of like
an indoor game now with these simulator

189
00:14:24,879 --> 00:14:28,639
splats because it's cold. Yeah.
Do you try to do events like this

190
00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:31,919
in all of your markets? Yeah, we're trying to get kind of the

191
00:14:31,919 --> 00:14:37,000
signature of it in each market as
we expand right now, so like we

192
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,039
just we're in Cleveland yesterday. We
had a big tailgate party with Dick Play.

193
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,840

there for the Steelers Browns game.

194
00:14:43,879 --> 00:14:48,080

196
00:14:52,879 --> 00:14:56,320

an impact in each market, not only

197
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,080
with the beer but also like with
these tour events. That's sort of to

want to drink something cheap. You
want to drink a good graftlogger. You

00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:25,079
don't want to go broke doing it. I mean, garage beer is perfect.

240
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,920
Man, I'm digging this. I
mean it's the first one I've had.

00:17:45,079 --> 00:17:48,079

Corey, I really appreciate it, brother,

246
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,000
thanks so much for coming on.
I to love this beer definitely.

247
00:17:52,039 --> 00:17:55,920
You know, if you're in a
Chicago area listening to it, you could

248
00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,240
pick it up everywhere I picked it
up, had an actual bottle shop boss

249
00:18:00,319 --> 00:18:03,519
and cans. But looking at the
website, which is Garage Beer Drink Garage

250
00:18:03,519 --> 00:18:07,119
Beer dot com, you could pick
it up all over the Chicago land area.

251
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,000
You could just pump in your zip
code and you can find out all

252
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,960
the spots near you that you could
pick this up at. But if you

253
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:19,359
like a nice, light, easy
drinkable, very good logger, garage beer

254
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,079
needs to go in your shopping cart
and in the garage. Thanks Dave,

255
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,920
I appreciate that. All right,

264
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,119
front of me right now is courtesy
of my friend Ray Ray. He sent

265
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,599
me this from the Nashville area.
This is from a brewery that I'm not

266
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,519
sure i I've had, but I've
heard many good things about Southern grist.

267
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:10,759
This is in cahoots with Elgy Coffee. This is Honeybear coffee stout. Now,

268
00:20:10,759 --> 00:20:15,440
according to the can, this is
oh no, y Ray, it

269
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:22,559
has lactose. But besides lactose,
it has local honey, Vermont maple syrup,

270
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:29,279
cinnamon, and Elgy coffee clocks in
at seven percent alcohol. So let's

271
00:20:29,319 --> 00:20:41,160
have this honey Bear coffee stout.
Poor is really nice? Is a nice

272
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:47,440
color, good, nice dark foam? Here, No, it's carbonated.

273
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,000
Well, oh, you get that
big big hit of coffee, right up

274
00:20:52,039 --> 00:20:56,160
front out of the aroma. It
smells really good. Oh yeah, that's

275
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,519
got everything going on there. I
mean it's all married together. Well.

276
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:06,000
I get all of the coffee,
that's the predominant taste, but I definitely

277
00:21:06,079 --> 00:21:11,519
get the honey and the cinnamon in
there, and like the maple syrup kind

278
00:21:11,519 --> 00:21:14,599
of comes in at the end.
I think this is phenomenal. Let me

279
00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:18,319
have some artists and shut up.
Yeah, that's so good. Like on

280
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,839
that sip, the cinnamon was what
hit me up front, But no,

281
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,240
this is rock solid. Got to
thank my brother Ray Ray for sending me

282
00:21:26,279 --> 00:21:30,920
this from Southern christ This is really
good. If you're in the Nashville area

283
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:37,240
or wherever they distribute and you see
Honeybear coffee stout, you definitely need to

284
00:21:37,279 --> 00:21:48,400
put this one in the cart.
All right, that's gonna put a nice

285
00:21:48,559 --> 00:21:52,839
shiny bow on this episode of Beer
in Front. I thank you for listening.
