Is that's how you know buddy doing well? Ben or not?
There we go just make it sure.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
I was like, huh five six six nine zero is
the text line a great American beer fest.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
Love doing this every year we get a chance.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
To do it.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Coach Pegannell and I may have gotten a little out
of the influence a couple of years ago. Nick, maybe
we will do our best to maintain our sobriety for
the listeners.
Speaker 5 (00:32):
Well, one of us would definitely do our best to
maintain our sobriety because that person being me and I don't.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I don't drink, but I.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Definitely love coming to this event every single year, sitting
down with so many people who have I guess constructed
some of these beverages. And I'm looking at one right
here in my hand, and it kind of the packaging.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
It is not your typical beer can packaging. It's looks
like to vite a co co sort of thing exactly.
So it sucks you winning with that whole idea.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
And then I know a lot of individuals like myself
love organic stuff, and you know, packaging is a big issue.
And looking at the packaging, it's not in the typical
luminium can.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
It's in this kind of like cardboard type of box.
And the one I'm holding in my.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Hand, it looks like it's a lemon and berry flavor.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
And there's a shaquillo n a little box, a beat box.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah, they came by a little bit earlier, the beatbox.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Did they came by? They came by lad we had
her beat box.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Earlier and yeah, she.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Was describing all that.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I don't see. I think we'd rank up all the
cherry limemade, but there's still a little bit of the
littleberry raspberry some of these others.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
The beat box, yeah it is. They make a slushy
as well. If a slushy, yeah, yeah, apparently for makers.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Now I don't know if you've tasted the one I'm
holding my hand right now to orange Blatt, I still.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Have a little bit left out of that.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
It looks like all o soda.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
It tastes like Moors question soda? Does it with booze?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
That extra ingredient?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
You get to hear what it's I'm just saying, what else.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Have you guys, who oh, Betty yet, who else have
you guys come across before I jumped off?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Well, we get to eat Bureau, which is I don't
know if you watched the Spider Man.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Movies, but Tom hoh kids.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Of course, Tom Holland created this right here.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
It's a non alcoholic beer called Biro for people who
are sober or don't drink.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
And so we've had a few of those, Ryan had,
Ryan had a couple of those.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Well, I have to tell you, we're looking at this can.
It does look a little sophisticated.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
It does kind of a gold can, yes, and.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
The writing and the embroidery on top of it doesn't
look like the typical cans that we're looking at it
right right now, get the stands.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Out a couple of now, and then we got a
Sam Adams non alcoholic.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Here.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
You see the dividing line here where all the alcoholic
beers are directly in front.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I had had a couple of trying this lossuits right now,
which is a brewery out of Vermont.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
You know, Vermont's more of a maple syrup capital Ord.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Preparely they got good, good beer as.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Well, and so I got this sip of sunshine.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I p a witbit sip of sunshine. What does that?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Does that?
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Is that like extra lemon burst or what makes it
the sunshine part of it?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I would not say there's any lemon in this. It
certainly tastes it's like an i pa. It's got a
little bit of a grapefruit kind of flavor.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Took more than anything else, well a little bit.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Yeah, I mean it's beer, but it's got a little
bit of great treats flavor to it.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
So there's that something a little bit different. We had the.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Holiday Brewing Company drop a couple of these favorite blondes off.
Haven't a chance to try that yet.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
We've had Ska Brewing dropped off a bunch of Mexican
i pas and.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Some lime with as salt of loger.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
So we got a bunch of different beers here we've
been trying for That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Three hours now, it seems that way.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Now, I'll ask you, and then lets we start to
get our guests, and I asked them the same thing
as well, because when you think about wine, you know,
red wine goes with certain dishes and ambience. Yeah, wait, no,
that's not red wine.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Heartbreak or red wine and ambient.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Yes, red wine, white wine. So I'm wondering of the
beverages you have here. I mean, do they go with
a certain I don't know, food or delicacy somebody.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I mean some of these to Miranda's bobbing her head.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yes, Miranda has been here partaking as well. The Beatbox
stuff is more of a party beverage. That's more of
a think back to college.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
The fruity, high alcohol content.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
That's mom and.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Dad, I'm about to do something to a wild night.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Probably don't call them my dad about this.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
So the Beatboxes probably they called themselves the World's Tastiest
party punch.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
That's like their slogan. You see it on the side there.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
They are eleven point one percent alcohol by by volume.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
They are so wit a minute.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
So if I were to take this top off of
this h bottle right now, I would hear at lou.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
John voice, Yale, Yes you would, but you know, yes,
Like for.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Instance, this one right here, This is a regular you know,
this is a sip of sunshine ip A.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Probably they're drinking this. It's it's eight percent alcohol by volume.
Probably drinking this.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I would pair this with like a fish tight dinner
if you were looking for, you know, to pair it
up kind of thing, That's what I would.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
So so here's the first thing.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
I thought about, and I'm gonna ask everyone when he
come up here, if if you were to open uh
their bottle cap or whatever, I made that sound, Uh,
what would be a musical sound that goes along with
the beverage so you had sipping of sunshine? First thing
I thought was Simon and Gumfall. I would Simon, Yes, hello,
(05:45):
talkness my old friend.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
No, I'm not going with that. Okay.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
So here's like I like, if I was trigguling, I
would make a man with horns, like you know, yeah,
so like same hotel band, it's got like horns and
saxophone all that kind of stuff like Metallica.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
No, Metallican is not at horns, not like devil horns.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I'm talking about like horns in the band, Like oh.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Saxophone, you threw me off, okay, you gave.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Holds devil horns like like horns like yeah, I see.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Like I'm talking about, like if you had a band
like the trumpet section, a ska band something like that.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Like that's that's what this feels like. In terms of
drinking to me, where some of these other.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Ones, uh, that we had a little bit earlier, like
longer felt a little.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Bit more like like three eleven. You know you hear
the Amber song, you know, like that song like philipore Lape. Okay,
so now not that laid back.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Now I'm thinking Philip Bailey and Phil Collins easy Love.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Okay, all right, Yes, not quite there with that love
where your head's at song. Yes, not quite where I'm
at with this particular beer, but there, but I am
definitely h I'm definitely in the ballpark.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
With some of the other beers.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Uh. Here as well, we got to, like said, we
got the bureau here, which is the Tom Hollands spider Man.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
I really wonder what music music would be associated with
this particular kid.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
It's got no booze it. I don't know. I mean
made you're doing some TLC MAI scrubs because there's no
beer in here.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I don't want to no alcohol. Breda hates that.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
But you know, anything I can do to get like
a side that from her right, you know, I like,
there's there's just.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
So much here. They've got four hundred plus different breweries
and they've expanded now they get distilleries here.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
So it's not just breweries, they get distilleries here as well.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
So explain that to me, because like, like I'm a
kid for the first time.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
That's fine, I'm an alcoholic. We have beers, right, but
the beers have.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Branched out over the recent years because in the last
couple of years in America.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Drinking has gone down.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
People are not drinking as much, right, and they're not
going out to drink as much either.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
A lot of people are drinking at home or not
drinking at all.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
And when they do drink, they want like these fruit
you know, sort of inspired these like zacktories. I mean,
maybe not quite that far, but like the sour beers.
You know, we were at the burn Down the other
day when we had.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
The you saw that purple beer that make you from
art ski the head. Yeah, so like the sour beers. Uh,
people want like sort of it's not just beer. They
want they want something more with their beer these days.
And so that that's sort of a lot of what's
going on here. You get to try like the diverse.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Nature of what these people can cook up and and
in a way these brewmasters are sort of chefs in.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
The sort of the beverages that they come up with.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Rights they come up with these different flavors and and
and and all these different drinks to to try to
get people to to try their steps.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
And so they're like Imeru Lagasi, they're the Lagosia beer.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Maybe a little maybe a little less garlicdic you know.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
But but yeah, I mean that's that's that's sort of
the thing.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And so I think there's there's something too that there's
sort of an art to a lot of what they
do here, like Great America Beer Fest with a lot
of these beers and that kind of stuff. And we're
gonna have a couple of them on uh here in
just a little bit too to be able to explain
some of that as well.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
We'll get to I think.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Well Works is coming on, which are our producer, Great
Smith is a big fan of the world Work spears.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
So does that mean that you're going to grab a
couple form.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Well, I'm going to grab a couple from them if
they make them as Grant so mad, if they go
you know whatever, we'll see we'll see how that shakes out.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
They do have food here as well, right next to
the simply nuts.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
They've got the cashews and almonds, they got the turls,
they get the pizza right over here.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
So we're already so when I walked up, obviously when
you come in you can smell it.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah, right, so he's got fahats here and I'm gonna
figure out who it is.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
And I was thinking, as Ryan before he got off,
like how great is it? Right?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
You're here at Great.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
American Gearfest and you're right here by the tru roads,
right you.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Don't I've already partaken. You don't have to try that
foor open yet. And I'm like, take my card, I
need turls now, I'm gonna go on the air.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
I'm surprised I didn't walk up. And then the guy
from the Southern Truro was not throwing. I mean, you're
and Ryan's catching him like baby.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
See look, I tried to make that happen. They were
a little that reticent with their product. They didn't want
it's spilling all over the floor because and they have
had a few beers and not able to catch.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Like a seal.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
You two hands stickers, I do, and I.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Was using both those hands to hold beer canisters for
about yes.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
For the better part of a few hours or so.
That's that's why. That's no.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
They've got a lot of great companies and the big
names around here, the sam Adams, the big names are
here as well as some of these smaller the smaller
craft beries.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Like I said, loss and Is out of.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Vermont, you know, plungs tons of different uh breweries to try.
Speaker 6 (10:29):

Speaker 1 (10:31):

Speaker 2 (10:50):
He brought me. You did that?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Man just brought you, just brought you a turl.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
So I'm going to talk about some money, so hopefully
someone brings some money.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Is that is that happy stick?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
You should have been talking about that from the get go.
You should be talking about the lottery and win. You know,
as so long as you're gonna manifest things into.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Being, I'm gonna need you to do that a little.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I'm gonna need you to do that with things that
are a little more relevant than just a turl.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Okay, well I'll do it. Start it now. How about
do this from now?
Speaker 5 (11:18):
There's going to be more beverages coming your way. How
about that, Well, they're definitely start, start small and just
gotta work our way up.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I mean we definitely that. That is definitely a thing
that's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Now here's something that's always interesting when coming here.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Every single year, I see so many people with Pretzeus analysis.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
There's the pretzels.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I think they're over to the right of us. Is that?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
What's the idea that tress stage left?
Speaker 8 (11:43):
All right?
Speaker 5 (11:44):
It is a sodium to get into the bottom the beer,
like it's brand so it's so except to beer. Oh
so they can keep on drinking well like like like
like see also the salt.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
It opens up your palace.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Right, see all of these things I did not know.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
It's almost like, U, I guess a way to kind
of cheat if you like joy chest that in in
the hot dog eating contests.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I'm not soaking anything in water before. What thing you
do it here?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Which, by the way, like I can I can throw
back some food. We've all seen this. I can throw
like some food. I don't know that I could ever
do a hot tho eating contest with the dunking it
and water stuff because that makes me want to like fuel. Yeah, yes,
pretty much like I'm like I am wet bread.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
That's not appetizing.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Because if I've always asked people, okay, well, the consumption
of these are fruity beverages.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Why is it that they do that? It's it's it
has water.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Isn't it there is? There's water, and why do people
do it?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Because it tastes good and it makes you a feel.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Like I feel great right now? Man, I don't know
how to emphasize that enough.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
You look like you're feeling great right now.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I am feeling great. Yes it is already, but.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Yes, thank you Mi random five sixty nine zeros of
text line.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
We got quite a few texts coming in, and I'll
get back.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
To some of those here a little bit.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
We got meal from World Works coming at six fifty,
so that'll be a lot of fun. We'll get a
chance to check out with him all the latest things
over there at.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Well Works. We had quite a few texts coming here.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
I'm trying to get to some of these here sorry,
so I apologize here. Let's see here, no judgment for
those that do part take and the alcohol.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
What's the point of non alcoholic beer?
Speaker 3 (13:24):
If I'm gonna waste calories, I'll just get a cheesecake
or a pizza.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
This is someone Well, okay, so my ex wife and
we're on guitars.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
My ex wife got sober a few years ago.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
She decided not to drink anymore.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Good for her, but she missed having beer. She liked beer,
and so she wants something that's.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Non alcoholic so that she can feel like she's still
having fun at the party and drinking a beer and
all that kind of stuff, but doesn't want the alcohol.
So that's what these zero beers are for that. That's
why for people that have gotten sober, it's an opportunity
for them to sort of fit in and still have
the same beverage and the taste those kinds of things.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Without the alcohol.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Well, I mean, I wish you had told me that,
because I have the perfect beverage for her. Right it
is water, No, no.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Not not water.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
That's a mother of nature's natural elixir. What I was
going to talk about is Martinelli's right, You get that
Satan filling. You get the bubbly to it. He knows
me well, they get the flat.
Speaker 9 (14:27):
The regular Martinelli's is flat like apple juice right.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
There with the thumbs down of all people.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yes, you would think the vegan would be in the Martinelli's,
but no, he's pooing the Martinelli's.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Yes, and get guess what the Martinelli's the bubbly flavor.
It is fruity because it comes from apples.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Right, So without.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
All the you know, the guilt that comes along if
you decide to, you know, over indulge.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
He's probably got some kind of fancier, upscale fruity or
beverage with after and guys over here. Yeah, yeah, some
kind of fancier you know, it's not martin.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Ellie's isn't expensive enough for Ryan epwers five six, six
nine zero, saxon, let's see what we got here, let's.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
See the seven to us.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Just talk about your love of PSLs. Ben, Yeah, I
hate him. Pumpkin Spice Lotte suck. Ryan Edwards saysn't have
a microphone. Ryan Ewarts doesn't.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
That's right. Pumpkins Spice Lotte is terrible.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
That's right, Okay, Sae, Yeah, wait a.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Minute, hold on, wait a minute. You've got one guy
with the Pretzu necklace. He's got the breaks, the breakway.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Wait but he but he's outdone.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Look at this guy, he's got to he's got a
snack shop around his neck.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
He's like a New York boy lager.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Snack shop around.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
Yes, there you go.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
We're off and running for the Great American Beer Fast pitch.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
But all Brian Nick Ferguson here on Broncos Country tonight
we come back.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
We're getting a little bit of the preview Thursday night football.
We also have the well Works people going to join
six fifty. You want to stick around for that.
Speaker 9 (15:58):
This is the Broncos Country and I cry, ok way,
I am from the Great American Beer Fest betsment All right,
Mack Ferguson here on the scene along with promotions director Amanda.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Shit and Scott's back there as well. I call your
promotions r is at the title. What's the title? I
don't know the title promotions manager? Sorry, she liked director.
She felt that was too threatening. Ryan Edwards is over there.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Ran Edwards is over there harassing sub guys and hats
right now, assu, he said, there trying to figure out
where they have these matches.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Those guys are trying to get a snack.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
You're over there harassing and what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Well, I know why those guys.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
They're just trying to chill out in peace at the
Great American Beer.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
But okay, so I have an idea as to why
they have in the same hats.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
The reason being you never go to like a amusement
park or the zoo, how they have all the kids
with the same shirts on it so they can identify
it them. So being as though that these guys are
at the American Beer Fest, just in case someone works
to get lost, they can recognize and by their.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Hats, that's exactly what happened. You nailed it.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
That's exactly why they can recognize each other from the
hats they're they're they're from Washington, Okay, from Washington, okay,
and they they brought they bought the hats on Amazon Okay.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
That there's a plug there. And they they're doing this
so that they see each other when they're walking around,
and they're very distinctive hats. They have the distinct fresh
Prince vibes.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
That's exactly that's what we're going for.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
That looks like right, distinct fresh prince vibes on the hats.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
Yeah, and he asked, okay, Seattle, Washington, right, okay, So
I was at Fort Bliss for a while, and I
was at the army.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
The library was the bar I stopped at on the
way all the way up to Seattle.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
So trying to get it was the name of the
town sort that, Oh, I can't remember the name of
the town in between Fort Bliss and Seattle.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
Now serve Oregon.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
No, that's a state, not a town. God, I'm going
over here. You got to the bottom by so they
can identify you.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
That's that's brilliant that It's absolutely brilliant. I love this
is the kind of stuff you've It's the Great American
beer Fest.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Like you're good with you right, Yeah, we set you
on a recommission. You got, you handled your end.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
See.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I think that's that's very wise of those guys to
do that, just in case there's.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
A guy crowd m in the corner. They can identify it. Yes, exactly.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
That is the kind of journalistic integrity we send Rotten
Edwards out.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
You really think about it, that's that's that's dedication from
the friendship group, right, that's dedication. So those guys are
trying to make sure that with a guy you know, hey,
you were in the military, lead no man behind.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
That's right, that's the whole idea. If you don't wear
the hat.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Beautiful and they got the matching fanny.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Hat, that's the whole fan, that's the whole coordination. I'm
just saying, up your past and let me see the
socks in cord need with the socks now.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Much. This is beautiful though.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I love this.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
This is the kind of if you find up the
Great American Bearfest, it's a fantastic event.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Come on down at the convention Center here downtown Denver.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
They got they got all kinds of four hundred plus
brewers here, they got thirty plus distilleries.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
They've got all kinds.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Of food and and everything else here. It is absolutely
phenomenal event.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
We love doing this every year. Uh you know, you
know I here.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
So another thing that is very unique to the beer fest.
You know we're in October and Halloween is not that
far away. You see individuals dressed up and showing you know,
they're eclectic.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Kind of frame of mind. I think last year with
you and I were here, there were a couple of.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
Guys who were dressed up in Ghostbusters.
Speaker 8 (19:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Last year there was like four of those guys.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
So, I mean, that's the one thing I love. Here,
here's a guy dressed in a Ti tied Die shirt
right here. See there you are there it is this
guy got them there at home. And yes, yeah, there's
there's a lot of that going on.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
There's a lot of rightful did the different thematic themes,
you know, as as far as that stuff goes.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
But it's it's just this is such a fascinating event,
and you know, alcohol, it's sort of the social lubricant
as it were, who you.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Call it the social lubricant as I'm staying at the
guys dressed as a SpongeBob SquarePants.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yes, you know, I'm gonna refrain from the jokes that.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I'm gonna make.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Thanks for not doing that lot.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Like I'm like, okay, we already had to bleep something
in the last hour. We're not bleeping me in this hour.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
I know.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
It's just it's a it's a it's a it's just
a fascinating event.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
And it's interesting how this stuff brings stuff together because
you know, we were talking to we have.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
You know, you and I have an alcohol sponsor on
the show.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
On tequila, but we we It's interesting drinking habits have
changed amongst Americans.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
You're you famously don't drink. I uh famous, they do.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
And between the two of us, you know now and
there's the drinking habits in Americans have changed over the years.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
And you know, it's one of the.
Speaker 10 (21:10):
Interesting conundrums that a lot of these businesses are facing
as Americans drink less now than they used to, they
go out less than they used to, and so they're
adapting to the challenges.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Of those kinds of things.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
And part of that is coming up with beverages that
people want to drink inside their own homes simply because they,
you know, Americans, young Americans specifically, don't want to go
out to bars anymore like they used to.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
That was a thing when we were coming out, but
that's not so much a thing anymore.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I think it's cool if you that's something that you're
going to do.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Is all.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
The tagline is always drinking responsibly and the fact that
individuals being mature enough, even those who are younger us
in with those that are twenty one, you're arranged that
they're deciding to they're going to drink, drink at home,
because a good.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Drinking at home, then the chances of something happening.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
Wild because you had one of those wild nights are
reduced drastically. So for me, that's a responsibility level that
I I'm definitely here for, even though that I don't drink.
And you know, my my beverage of choice, like I've
told you before as Martinelli's and for me it's it's
in my mind, is no different than any of these
(22:27):
beverages here, minus the edition of a couple of ingredients
specific Yes.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Yeah, no, I I like a fascinating advance is.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Marilyn Moreau sort of looks like it?
Speaker 3 (22:43):
What is that?
Speaker 5 (22:43):
That is?
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Uha Moore?
Speaker 3 (22:45):
The Mere America.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
You have the roles on me and.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Listeners love that.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
I know where who brought that by?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
I don't don't.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
It's just it's just shown up magically, a piece the
thing not being here, this booth shows just shows up.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
No, I've had some fun out of here over the years.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
We had Coach Bagano out here a couple of years ago,
and he.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
And I may have mvibed a little too much on
the air, but tried to pace myself this year, and
so there's always there's a lot of fun people you
see here that you wouldn't expect to see.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
You just bump into.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
It is a fascinating event. Love you guys coming out
here and saying Hi. I love listeners coming out and
saying Hi. Patrick came by and said Hi.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Yes, just a little bit ago.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
I have to give Patrick a shout out. And you
love when this happened, but you also hate when it happens.
At the same time. The pat was he's a long
time Broncos fan, grew up as he was a watching
me play and just was really happy with what we
did as a team. Brought up the five six season
(23:51):
in the NFC Championship against the Pittsburgh's too Is and
how much that meant to him as a fan, and
just mentioned just me speaking to him, uh, you know,
did a line had a major impact on his life
And it's just kind of a short bumping into him.
But to me, I told him, I say, that's the
reason I became a professional athlete, to have a positive
impact on the lives of individuals in that particular way.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
And I truly mean it.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Fans, no matter who you root for, whether you are Nuggets,
abs and Broncos fans or Rockets fans, those individuals that
die hard and for me being you know, still a
fan myself, anytime I see someone who walks up to
me they're a Broncos fan, I take the time out
to speak to those individuals because you're not who you
are without those fans coming to games and who are
(24:36):
buying the Memorabilian the merchandise.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
One thing I do want to ask you real quick.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
We gotta TRAVII with Dave O'Brian, but real quick question,
is there any error out of the balloon about the
Broncos went over the Eagles watching the Giants be up
thirteen three halfway through the first quarter already on Philly.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Yeah, that's a little man, because once again you're still
thinking about what the Broncos were not able to do
in that first half, and you look at Jackson Dart
and Brian Dabel and the Giants not just do it
early against Philadelphia, but they put a hell of a
game together. It gets a charger as a team that
the Broncos lost, and so there may be some air
in that barroom.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
It's one of those interesting things to. You know, we
had just had this signature win over Philadelphia, and now
I want the Giants beat up on him.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
In the first quarter as Dart through a touchdown to
jan Dale Robinson and then he rushed up the middle
for a twenty yard touchdown as well. They missed the
extra point on one of those, So thirteen to three
right now, the Giants are over the Philadelphia guys.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
We'll keep it prize then five six, six, one zero.
Here is the text line. Happy to welcome in Neil
from well Works Brewing. And I gotta tell you Neil
right up to that so I was telling you this
before we jumped on the air. Are one of our producers.
Grant Smith.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
You guys are absolutely his favorite beer company of all time.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
He's like setting a.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Single large tear down his cheek that he stuck back
at the studio and we are out here with you.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I think we can take care of Graham. I'll start
him with some beer. Well we will, okay, all right,
Gret you hear that back there.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
We're working with you.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Trying to get you hooked up. Yeah, he celebrates your
entire catalog.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
But for those who are new to the.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Weld Works catalog.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Tell us a little bit about well, work's brewing and
you know, obviously Colorado and local, but tell.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Us a little bit about what your calling card is
and what your philosophy is.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Yeah, we celebrated ten years this year. So this is
our tent here in an opening. So we opened in
twenty fifteen.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Wow, we are in Greeley, Colorado, so old room of
practice funds. Yeah, bru for Broncos and then we've done
a lot of mostly hazy. Ipa is kind of our
calling card. Juicy. This is our flagship, which I had
one of earlier. We were talking about that on Can't
We Sports earlier.
Speaker 8 (26:48):
It's you know, we've been surprised it's almost nine years old.
It was about a year after we opened we introduced
that bear and it's kind of how to bolted us
into a different realm of business than we were. But
a lot of what we do now is that and
experimental stuff. I think the beer right now that's the
most popular for us at the fest is a euro goza,
(27:08):
so euro no meat, but it's to zeke inspires So
it's cucumber and yog l it's mint, it's lemon, it's garlic,
it's sea salt, and it's we're pairing it with a
little food, and it's probably gonna be the first beer
we take.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
This is a beer that has all these essential and
radios that you don't normally combine.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
So what went into the design and the tastes testing
for that.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
It's kind of become a tradition for us, because I
think at some point, you know, we're ten years into this.
This is our eleventh kind of gabf season. It's been
a big part of our growth, and because we're an.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Hour away, we're kind of like the perfect storm of
like people can't always make it up to Greeley during
this week. We have people coming for all of the
country really.
Speaker 8 (27:53):
For this event, but we can do something cool and
unique here at the festival that both people here around
the Denver area and kind of metro area and people from.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Out of state can kind of get excited about. So
food inspired beers.
Speaker 8 (28:04):
We've done a spaghetti goes though, we've done a taco
goes up yet, We've done sushi goes the last year,
and this year we kind of decided, like, hey, what's left.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
What can we do that's kind of savoring food inspired
and it's only.
Speaker 8 (28:16):
Available this week, it's only for GBF, but it's surprisingly
good and balanced.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
It's not like you're gonna want to drink it all
the time, but it's something that you can't really experience
anywhere else. So that's I don't know.
Speaker 8 (28:29):
JBF has changed a lot in the last you know,
even since COVID, and we just think it should be fun.
Then we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Well, let's talk a little bit about that. It has
changed quite a bit over the years as you've been
doing this. What would you say is the biggest change
with not only yourselves, but with the great American beer?
Speaker 8 (28:45):
First, I think a lot of it's just we're saying,
you know, overall alcohol, not just beer, but alcohol.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Sales are down, they're lower, and I think people are shifting.
Speaker 8 (28:54):
I think that's the maturity of that is great. I
think places like Bero, they're here servingly not alcoholic. Here
we've got really great examples of I think people are
surprised at how good that those are, and they absolutely
I think deserve a place in our segment. Not all
of us can produce them. They're harder to produce than
(29:14):
most beers.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Let't be dovetail up there. Real quick drinking habits are
different from American zc's.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
We're talking like that earlier. You know, the younger crowds
less apt to go out to the bar.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Drinking is down a little bit, and so a lot
of you guys are tailoring your products to and evolving
with the drinking and it's in America.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
How are you guys evolving with those shrinking admits.
Speaker 8 (29:35):
We do it with innovation and just trying to find
different flavors that resonate with a different audience. So a
lot of our beers, like we do ju see this
is by far our biggest seller. That's our hazy ipa.
Right outside of that, that's about half of our volume.
We do almost one hundred and fifty different.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Beers every year that are all over the place. We
have a strawberry marderita right now. It's deer, but it's
still you know, obviously cocktail inspired.
Speaker 8 (29:59):
We're doing an orange cream school that we're doing with
orange creamsule ice cream is a beer float right now
at GVF.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
So we're just trying to find things that's not just
you know, shotgun approach to see what sticks a little
little bit of that and seeing what people want and
why they're excited about something that's either really flavor driven
or maybe it's more approachable, maybe it's more Hey, it's LORI.
Maybe can you get something I can enjoy and I
don't have to? You know, we do everything from you know,
really approachable styles to something that has aged in barrels
(30:26):
for almost three years. Yeah, our our program director loves
the peril age stuff a lot.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
All right, So this is a question I know that
no one's ever answered.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
So you're going to get this here.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
Okay, A wait, So if someone wants were to grab
a can of your beverage and pop the top, if it.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Was if it made a musical song, but what would
be that music is sold? Because I think you can
talk about it. But the jubilee what is it?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Everybody's trying to pair the food with the beverage. I
love that.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Yes, someone.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Juicy Brits do as a song.
Speaker 8 (31:02):
That's a great question because I think what I love
about that beer in particular is it's.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
For i Pa forever. Ipa has always been really consulatively bitter.
It's like hops are like, oh, but they're just coming
out of the glass and that can be true.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
But the problem is ten fifteen years ago that was
it's hard to drink. They're really bitter. They finished on
a palate really harsh. Now, I think why hazy ipa
in particularly has grown so much, just because it's still.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
You can still have a couple and not feel like
my palate's just completely done. You get the hot flavor.
Speaker 8 (31:33):
Without all that intense better days, so be something, you know,
it's something palatable. I'm trying to think what pot would
you so, I'm thinking juicy bits? Uh, it made up
a song?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Well what if I sort of sad popped the top.
Samuel Jackson's voice came out of it.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
I mean Samuel Jackson hard. He does talk loud. Yeah,
that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 8 (31:54):
And maybe like his voice, like Sam Cook or somebody
that's like how you just listening to You're like, man,
that voice.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Is something I could It's like enjoy for hours. There's
something to do that. Yeah, sitting on the dock of
the bay a little but you know, sitting dow is reading. Yes, yes,
you know it's not.
Speaker 8 (32:08):
I think it's something that you could enjoy for a
long period of time. But every time you have to
sit You're like, I just enjoyed that very nostalgic.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Very nostalgic. H. I love that. That's a great question.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
I have love that I had a Switz earlier and
I they is one of my old time favorites. I
do love that that beer you said, you guys got
the uh that goes over there with the describe these
flavors again, because this is this is trip for me.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Euro goes ah Is. It's to Zeke inspired, so it's yogurt. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (32:36):
And then we got Min's real mint deal cucumber, garlic,
sea salt, and it's acidic, so it touching.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
That sounds like the salad I had before I came here.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
It would go great with that salad.
Speaker 8 (32:48):
I have to try it, but I think, but we're
serving with non and hummus and cucumber, so we have
a little pair invite with it.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
That gets me about this because the pairing because usually,
like when I was in college, guys, we just drink
beer just to drink beer.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Now there's a certain level of sophistication to it.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
What your palette and.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Trying to keep that gola.
Speaker 8 (33:09):
Yeah, and I think we want to find every part
of it, like we want to have the beer you
have as an appetizer or an apparteeth, you know, it's
it's something that starts. Yeah, we want to have we
want to have a dessert, you know, like it's typically
port or a sweet wine or maybe it's called yact. Yes,
we have a barely age out that you would you
know if you wouldn't want to drink sixteen ounces of it,
but two three ounces perfect way to finish your meal.
(33:31):
When something during your main course by juicy bits. Maybe
it's a check style pills.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Meal from well Works. Where can they find out? They
got a weld Works. You guys got a website. We
do well Works dot com. Find us down here.
Speaker 8 (33:42):

ounce and fucking greedy.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
You guys got to come off the great Berica garfas

the time. We got to hit a break Broncos country
like act after this
Benjamin O'Brien, Nick Ferguson and Shannon Scott on scene.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's actually be back there in the studio.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
Is that's how you know buddy doing well? Ben or not?
There we go just make it sure.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
I was like, huh five six six nine zero is
the text line a great American beer fest.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
Love doing this every year we get a chance.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
To do it.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Coach Pegannell and I may have gotten a little out
of the influence a couple of years ago. Nick, maybe
we will do our best to maintain our sobriety for
the listeners.
Speaker 5 (00:32):
Well, one of us would definitely do our best to
maintain our sobriety because that person being me and I don't.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I don't drink, but I.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Definitely love coming to this event every single year, sitting
down with so many people who have I guess constructed
some of these beverages. And I'm looking at one right
here in my hand, and it kind of the packaging.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
It is not your typical beer can packaging. It's looks
like to vite a co co sort of thing exactly.
So it sucks you winning with that whole idea.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
And then I know a lot of individuals like myself
love organic stuff, and you know, packaging is a big issue.
And looking at the packaging, it's not in the typical
luminium can.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
It's in this kind of like cardboard type of box.
And the one I'm holding in my.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Hand, it looks like it's a lemon and berry flavor.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
And there's a shaquillo n a little box, a beat box.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah, they came by a little bit earlier, the beatbox.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Did they came by? They came by lad we had
her beat box.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Earlier and yeah, she.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Was describing all that.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I don't see. I think we'd rank up all the
cherry limemade, but there's still a little bit of the
littleberry raspberry some of these others.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
The beat box, yeah it is. They make a slushy
as well. If a slushy, yeah, yeah, apparently for makers.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Now I don't know if you've tasted the one I'm
holding my hand right now to orange Blatt, I still.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Have a little bit left out of that.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
It looks like all o soda.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
It tastes like Moors question soda? Does it with booze?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
That extra ingredient?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
You get to hear what it's I'm just saying, what else.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Have you guys, who oh, Betty yet, who else have
you guys come across before I jumped off?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Well, we get to eat Bureau, which is I don't
know if you watched the Spider Man.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Movies, but Tom hoh kids.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Of course, Tom Holland created this right here.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
It's a non alcoholic beer called Biro for people who
are sober or don't drink.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
And so we've had a few of those, Ryan had,
Ryan had a couple of those.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Well, I have to tell you, we're looking at this can.
It does look a little sophisticated.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
It does kind of a gold can, yes, and.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
The writing and the embroidery on top of it doesn't
look like the typical cans that we're looking at it
right right now, get the stands.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Out a couple of now, and then we got a
Sam Adams non alcoholic.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Here.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
You see the dividing line here where all the alcoholic
beers are directly in front.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I had had a couple of trying this lossuits right now,
which is a brewery out of Vermont.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
You know, Vermont's more of a maple syrup capital Ord.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Preparely they got good, good beer as.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Well, and so I got this sip of sunshine.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I p a witbit sip of sunshine. What does that?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Does that?
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Is that like extra lemon burst or what makes it
the sunshine part of it?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I would not say there's any lemon in this. It
certainly tastes it's like an i pa. It's got a
little bit of a grapefruit kind of flavor.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Took more than anything else, well a little bit.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Yeah, I mean it's beer, but it's got a little
bit of great treats flavor to it.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
So there's that something a little bit different. We had the.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Holiday Brewing Company drop a couple of these favorite blondes off.
Haven't a chance to try that yet.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
We've had Ska Brewing dropped off a bunch of Mexican
i pas and.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Some lime with as salt of loger.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
So we got a bunch of different beers here we've
been trying for That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Three hours now, it seems that way.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Now, I'll ask you, and then lets we start to
get our guests, and I asked them the same thing
as well, because when you think about wine, you know,
red wine goes with certain dishes and ambience. Yeah, wait, no,
that's not red wine.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Heartbreak or red wine and ambient.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Yes, red wine, white wine. So I'm wondering of the
beverages you have here. I mean, do they go with
a certain I don't know, food or delicacy somebody.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I mean some of these to Miranda's bobbing her head.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yes, Miranda has been here partaking as well. The Beatbox
stuff is more of a party beverage. That's more of
a think back to college.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
The fruity, high alcohol content.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
That's mom and.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Dad, I'm about to do something to a wild night.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Probably don't call them my dad about this.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
So the Beatboxes probably they called themselves the World's Tastiest
party punch.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
That's like their slogan. You see it on the side there.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
They are eleven point one percent alcohol by by volume.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
They are so wit a minute.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
So if I were to take this top off of
this h bottle right now, I would hear at lou.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
John voice, Yale, Yes you would, but you know, yes,
Like for.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Instance, this one right here, This is a regular you know,
this is a sip of sunshine ip A.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Probably they're drinking this. It's it's eight percent alcohol by volume.
Probably drinking this.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I would pair this with like a fish tight dinner
if you were looking for, you know, to pair it
up kind of thing, That's what I would.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
So so here's the first thing.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
I thought about, and I'm gonna ask everyone when he
come up here, if if you were to open uh
their bottle cap or whatever, I made that sound, Uh,
what would be a musical sound that goes along with
the beverage so you had sipping of sunshine? First thing
I thought was Simon and Gumfall. I would Simon, Yes, hello,
(05:45):
talkness my old friend.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
No, I'm not going with that. Okay.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
So here's like I like, if I was trigguling, I
would make a man with horns, like you know, yeah,
so like same hotel band, it's got like horns and
saxophone all that kind of stuff like Metallica.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
No, Metallican is not at horns, not like devil horns.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I'm talking about like horns in the band, Like oh.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Saxophone, you threw me off, okay, you gave.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Holds devil horns like like horns like yeah, I see.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Like I'm talking about, like if you had a band
like the trumpet section, a ska band something like that.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Like that's that's what this feels like. In terms of
drinking to me, where some of these other.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Ones, uh, that we had a little bit earlier, like
longer felt a little.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Bit more like like three eleven. You know you hear
the Amber song, you know, like that song like philipore Lape. Okay,
so now not that laid back.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Now I'm thinking Philip Bailey and Phil Collins easy Love.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Okay, all right, Yes, not quite there with that love
where your head's at song. Yes, not quite where I'm
at with this particular beer, but there, but I am
definitely h I'm definitely in the ballpark.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
With some of the other beers.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Uh. Here as well, we got to, like said, we
got the bureau here, which is the Tom Hollands spider Man.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
I really wonder what music music would be associated with
this particular kid.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
It's got no booze it. I don't know. I mean
made you're doing some TLC MAI scrubs because there's no
beer in here.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I don't want to no alcohol. Breda hates that.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
But you know, anything I can do to get like
a side that from her right, you know, I like,
there's there's just.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
So much here. They've got four hundred plus different breweries
and they've expanded now they get distilleries here.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
So it's not just breweries, they get distilleries here as well.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
So explain that to me, because like, like I'm a
kid for the first time.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
That's fine, I'm an alcoholic. We have beers, right, but
the beers have.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Branched out over the recent years because in the last
couple of years in America.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Drinking has gone down.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
People are not drinking as much, right, and they're not
going out to drink as much either.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
A lot of people are drinking at home or not
drinking at all.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
And when they do drink, they want like these fruit
you know, sort of inspired these like zacktories. I mean,
maybe not quite that far, but like the sour beers.
You know, we were at the burn Down the other
day when we had.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
The you saw that purple beer that make you from
art ski the head. Yeah, so like the sour beers. Uh,
people want like sort of it's not just beer. They
want they want something more with their beer these days.
And so that that's sort of a lot of what's
going on here. You get to try like the diverse.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Nature of what these people can cook up and and
in a way these brewmasters are sort of chefs in.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
The sort of the beverages that they come up with.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Rights they come up with these different flavors and and
and and all these different drinks to to try to
get people to to try their steps.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
And so they're like Imeru Lagasi, they're the Lagosia beer.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Maybe a little maybe a little less garlicdic you know.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
But but yeah, I mean that's that's that's sort of
the thing.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And so I think there's there's something too that there's
sort of an art to a lot of what they
do here, like Great America Beer Fest with a lot
of these beers and that kind of stuff. And we're
gonna have a couple of them on uh here in
just a little bit too to be able to explain
some of that as well.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
We'll get to I think.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Well Works is coming on, which are our producer, Great
Smith is a big fan of the world Work spears.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
So does that mean that you're going to grab a
couple form.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Well, I'm going to grab a couple from them if
they make them as Grant so mad, if they go
you know whatever, we'll see we'll see how that shakes out.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
They do have food here as well, right next to
the simply nuts.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
They've got the cashews and almonds, they got the turls,
they get the pizza right over here.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
So we're already so when I walked up, obviously when
you come in you can smell it.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah, right, so he's got fahats here and I'm gonna
figure out who it is.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
And I was thinking, as Ryan before he got off,
like how great is it? Right?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
You're here at Great.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
American Gearfest and you're right here by the tru roads,
right you.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Don't I've already partaken. You don't have to try that
foor open yet. And I'm like, take my card, I
need turls now, I'm gonna go on the air.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
I'm surprised I didn't walk up. And then the guy
from the Southern Truro was not throwing. I mean, you're
and Ryan's catching him like baby.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
See look, I tried to make that happen. They were
a little that reticent with their product. They didn't want
it's spilling all over the floor because and they have
had a few beers and not able to catch.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Like a seal.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
You two hands stickers, I do, and I.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Was using both those hands to hold beer canisters for
about yes.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
For the better part of a few hours or so.
That's that's why. That's no.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
They've got a lot of great companies and the big
names around here, the sam Adams, the big names are
here as well as some of these smaller the smaller
craft beries.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Like I said, loss and Is out of.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Vermont, you know, plungs tons of different uh breweries to try.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
You get to Bristol, break up your guys.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
I walked in with Look yeah, see my man just
brought it, brought naked churl.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Look at that.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Look at that are delicious by the way they're they're
pipe hot delicious.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
You're the man.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
You Wow, this this is uh, this is awesome. So
I talked about truros, so.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
He brought me. You did that?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Man just brought you, just brought you a turl.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
So I'm going to talk about some money, so hopefully
someone brings some money.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Is that is that happy stick?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
You should have been talking about that from the get go.
You should be talking about the lottery and win. You know,
as so long as you're gonna manifest things into.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Being, I'm gonna need you to do that a little.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I'm gonna need you to do that with things that
are a little more relevant than just a turl.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Okay, well I'll do it. Start it now. How about
do this from now?
Speaker 5 (11:18):
There's going to be more beverages coming your way. How
about that, Well, they're definitely start, start small and just
gotta work our way up.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I mean we definitely that. That is definitely a thing
that's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Now here's something that's always interesting when coming here.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Every single year, I see so many people with Pretzeus analysis.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
There's the pretzels.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I think they're over to the right of us. Is that?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
What's the idea that tress stage left?
Speaker 8 (11:43):
All right?
Speaker 5 (11:44):
It is a sodium to get into the bottom the beer,
like it's brand so it's so except to beer. Oh
so they can keep on drinking well like like like
like see also the salt.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
It opens up your palace.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Right, see all of these things I did not know.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
It's almost like, U, I guess a way to kind
of cheat if you like joy chest that in in
the hot dog eating contests.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I'm not soaking anything in water before. What thing you
do it here?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Which, by the way, like I can I can throw
back some food. We've all seen this. I can throw
like some food. I don't know that I could ever
do a hot tho eating contest with the dunking it
and water stuff because that makes me want to like fuel. Yeah, yes,
pretty much like I'm like I am wet bread.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
That's not appetizing.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Because if I've always asked people, okay, well, the consumption
of these are fruity beverages.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Why is it that they do that? It's it's it
has water.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Isn't it there is? There's water, and why do people
do it?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Because it tastes good and it makes you a feel.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Like I feel great right now? Man, I don't know
how to emphasize that enough.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
You look like you're feeling great right now.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I am feeling great. Yes it is already, but.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Yes, thank you Mi random five sixty nine zeros of
text line.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
We got quite a few texts coming in, and I'll
get back.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
To some of those here a little bit.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
We got meal from World Works coming at six fifty,
so that'll be a lot of fun. We'll get a
chance to check out with him all the latest things
over there at.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Well Works. We had quite a few texts coming here.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
I'm trying to get to some of these here sorry,
so I apologize here. Let's see here, no judgment for
those that do part take and the alcohol.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
What's the point of non alcoholic beer?
Speaker 3 (13:24):
If I'm gonna waste calories, I'll just get a cheesecake
or a pizza.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
This is someone Well, okay, so my ex wife and
we're on guitars.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
My ex wife got sober a few years ago.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
She decided not to drink anymore.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Good for her, but she missed having beer. She liked beer,
and so she wants something that's.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Non alcoholic so that she can feel like she's still
having fun at the party and drinking a beer and
all that kind of stuff, but doesn't want the alcohol.
So that's what these zero beers are for that. That's
why for people that have gotten sober, it's an opportunity
for them to sort of fit in and still have
the same beverage and the taste those kinds of things.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Without the alcohol.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Well, I mean, I wish you had told me that,
because I have the perfect beverage for her. Right it
is water, No, no.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Not not water.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
That's a mother of nature's natural elixir. What I was
going to talk about is Martinelli's right, You get that
Satan filling. You get the bubbly to it. He knows
me well, they get the flat.
Speaker 9 (14:27):
The regular Martinelli's is flat like apple juice right.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
There with the thumbs down of all people.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yes, you would think the vegan would be in the Martinelli's,
but no, he's pooing the Martinelli's.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Yes, and get guess what the Martinelli's the bubbly flavor.
It is fruity because it comes from apples.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Right, So without.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
All the you know, the guilt that comes along if
you decide to, you know, over indulge.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
He's probably got some kind of fancier, upscale fruity or
beverage with after and guys over here. Yeah, yeah, some
kind of fancier you know, it's not martin.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Ellie's isn't expensive enough for Ryan epwers five six, six
nine zero, saxon, let's see what we got here, let's.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
See the seven to us.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Just talk about your love of PSLs. Ben, Yeah, I
hate him. Pumpkin Spice Lotte suck. Ryan Edwards saysn't have
a microphone. Ryan Ewarts doesn't.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
That's right. Pumpkins Spice Lotte is terrible.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
That's right, Okay, Sae, Yeah, wait a.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Minute, hold on, wait a minute. You've got one guy
with the Pretzu necklace. He's got the breaks, the breakway.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Wait but he but he's outdone.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Look at this guy, he's got to he's got a
snack shop around his neck.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
He's like a New York boy lager.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Snack shop around.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
Yes, there you go.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
We're off and running for the Great American Beer Fast pitch.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
But all Brian Nick Ferguson here on Broncos Country tonight
we come back.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
We're getting a little bit of the preview Thursday night football.
We also have the well Works people going to join
six fifty. You want to stick around for that.
Speaker 9 (15:58):
This is the Broncos Country and I cry, ok way,
I am from the Great American Beer Fest betsment All right,
Mack Ferguson here on the scene along with promotions director Amanda.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Shit and Scott's back there as well. I call your
promotions r is at the title. What's the title? I
don't know the title promotions manager? Sorry, she liked director.
She felt that was too threatening. Ryan Edwards is over there.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Ran Edwards is over there harassing sub guys and hats
right now, assu, he said, there trying to figure out
where they have these matches.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Those guys are trying to get a snack.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
You're over there harassing and what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Well, I know why those guys.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
They're just trying to chill out in peace at the
Great American Beer.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
But okay, so I have an idea as to why
they have in the same hats.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
The reason being you never go to like a amusement
park or the zoo, how they have all the kids
with the same shirts on it so they can identify
it them. So being as though that these guys are
at the American Beer Fest, just in case someone works
to get lost, they can recognize and by their.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Hats, that's exactly what happened. You nailed it.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
That's exactly why they can recognize each other from the
hats they're they're they're from Washington, Okay, from Washington, okay,
and they they brought they bought the hats on Amazon Okay.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
That there's a plug there. And they they're doing this
so that they see each other when they're walking around,
and they're very distinctive hats. They have the distinct fresh
Prince vibes.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
That's exactly that's what we're going for.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
That looks like right, distinct fresh prince vibes on the hats.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
Yeah, and he asked, okay, Seattle, Washington, right, okay, So
I was at Fort Bliss for a while, and I
was at the army.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
The library was the bar I stopped at on the
way all the way up to Seattle.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
So trying to get it was the name of the
town sort that, Oh, I can't remember the name of
the town in between Fort Bliss and Seattle.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
Now serve Oregon.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
No, that's a state, not a town. God, I'm going
over here. You got to the bottom by so they
can identify you.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
That's that's brilliant that It's absolutely brilliant. I love this
is the kind of stuff you've It's the Great American
beer Fest.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Like you're good with you right, Yeah, we set you
on a recommission. You got, you handled your end.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
See.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I think that's that's very wise of those guys to
do that, just in case there's.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
A guy crowd m in the corner. They can identify it. Yes, exactly.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
That is the kind of journalistic integrity we send Rotten
Edwards out.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
You really think about it, that's that's that's dedication from
the friendship group, right, that's dedication. So those guys are
trying to make sure that with a guy you know, hey,
you were in the military, lead no man behind.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
That's right, that's the whole idea. If you don't wear
the hat.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Beautiful and they got the matching fanny.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Hat, that's the whole fan, that's the whole coordination. I'm
just saying, up your past and let me see the
socks in cord need with the socks now.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Much. This is beautiful though.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I love this.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
This is the kind of if you find up the
Great American Bearfest, it's a fantastic event.
Speaker 4 (19:03):

You know we're in October and Halloween is not that
far away. You see individuals dressed up and showing you know,

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Kind of frame of mind. I think last year with

guy got them there at home. And yes, yeah, there's
there's a lot of that going on.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
There's a lot of rightful did the different thematic themes,
you know, as as far as that stuff goes.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
But it's it's just this is such a fascinating event,
and you know, alcohol, it's sort of the social lubricant
as it were, who you.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Call it the social lubricant as I'm staying at the
guys dressed as a SpongeBob SquarePants.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yes, you know, I'm gonna refrain from the jokes that.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I'm gonna make.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Thanks for not doing that lot.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Like I'm like, okay, we already had to bleep something

You know, you and I have an alcohol sponsor on
the show.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
On tequila, but we we It's interesting drinking habits have

You're you famously don't drink. I uh famous, they do.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
And between the two of us, you know now and
there's the drinking habits in Americans have changed over the years.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
And you know, it's one of the.
Speaker 10 (21:10):
Interesting conundrums that a lot of these businesses are facing
as Americans drink less now than they used to, they
go out less than they used to, and so they're
adapting to the challenges.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Of those kinds of things.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
And part of that is coming up with beverages that
people want to drink inside their own homes simply because they,
you know, Americans, young Americans specifically, don't want to go
out to bars anymore like they used to.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
That was a thing when we were coming out, but
that's not so much a thing anymore.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I think it's cool if you that's something that you're
going to do.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Is all.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
The tagline is always drinking responsibly and the fact that
individuals being mature enough, even those who are younger us
in with those that are twenty one, you're arranged that
they're deciding to they're going to drink, drink at home,
because a good.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Drinking at home, then the chances of something happening.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
Wild because you had one of those wild nights are
reduced drastically. So for me, that's a responsibility level that
I I'm definitely here for, even though that I don't drink.
And you know, my my beverage of choice, like I've
told you before as Martinelli's and for me it's it's
in my mind, is no different than any of these
(22:27):
beverages here, minus the edition of a couple of ingredients
specific Yes.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Yeah, no, I I like a fascinating advance is.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Marilyn Moreau sort of looks like it?
Speaker 3 (22:43):
What is that?
Speaker 5 (22:43):
That is?
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Uha Moore?
Speaker 3 (22:45):
The Mere America.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
You have the roles on me and.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Listeners love that.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
I know where who brought that by?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
I don't don't.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
It's just it's just shown up magically, a piece the
thing not being here, this booth shows just shows up.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
No, I've had some fun out of here over the years.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
We had Coach Bagano out here a couple of years ago,
and he.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
And I may have mvibed a little too much on
the air, but tried to pace myself this year, and
so there's always there's a lot of fun people you
see here that you wouldn't expect to see.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
You just bump into.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
It is a fascinating event. Love you guys coming out
here and saying Hi. I love listeners coming out and
saying Hi. Patrick came by and said Hi.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Yes, just a little bit ago.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
I have to give Patrick a shout out. And you
love when this happened, but you also hate when it happens.
At the same time. The pat was he's a long
time Broncos fan, grew up as he was a watching
me play and just was really happy with what we
did as a team. Brought up the five six season
(23:51):
in the NFC Championship against the Pittsburgh's too Is and
how much that meant to him as a fan, and
just mentioned just me speaking to him, uh, you know,
did a line had a major impact on his life
And it's just kind of a short bumping into him.
But to me, I told him, I say, that's the
reason I became a professional athlete, to have a positive
impact on the lives of individuals in that particular way.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
And I truly mean it.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Fans, no matter who you root for, whether you are Nuggets,
abs and Broncos fans or Rockets fans, those individuals that
die hard and for me being you know, still a
fan myself, anytime I see someone who walks up to
me they're a Broncos fan, I take the time out
to speak to those individuals because you're not who you
are without those fans coming to games and who are
(24:36):
buying the Memorabilian the merchandise.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
One thing I do want to ask you real quick.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
We gotta TRAVII with Dave O'Brian, but real quick question,
is there any error out of the balloon about the
Broncos went over the Eagles watching the Giants be up
thirteen three halfway through the first quarter already on Philly.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Yeah, that's a little man, because once again you're still
thinking about what the Broncos were not able to do
in that first half, and you look at Jackson Dart
and Brian Dabel and the Giants not just do it
early against Philadelphia, but they put a hell of a
game together. It gets a charger as a team that
the Broncos lost, and so there may be some air
in that barroom.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
It's one of those interesting things to. You know, we
had just had this signature win over Philadelphia, and now
I want the Giants beat up on him.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
In the first quarter as Dart through a touchdown to
jan Dale Robinson and then he rushed up the middle
for a twenty yard touchdown as well. They missed the
extra point on one of those, So thirteen to three
right now, the Giants are over the Philadelphia guys.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
We'll keep it prize then five six, six, one zero.
Here is the text line. Happy to welcome in Neil
from well Works Brewing. And I gotta tell you Neil
right up to that so I was telling you this
before we jumped on the air. Are one of our producers.
Grant Smith.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
You guys are absolutely his favorite beer company of all time.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
He's like setting a.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Single large tear down his cheek that he stuck back
at the studio and we are out here with you.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I think we can take care of Graham. I'll start
him with some beer. Well we will, okay, all right,
Gret you hear that back there.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
We're working with you.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Trying to get you hooked up. Yeah, he celebrates your
entire catalog.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
But for those who are new to the.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Weld Works catalog.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Tell us a little bit about well, work's brewing and
you know, obviously Colorado and local, but tell.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Us a little bit about what your calling card is
and what your philosophy is.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Yeah, we celebrated ten years this year. So this is
our tent here in an opening. So we opened in
twenty fifteen.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Wow, we are in Greeley, Colorado, so old room of
practice funds. Yeah, bru for Broncos and then we've done
a lot of mostly hazy. Ipa is kind of our
calling card. Juicy. This is our flagship, which I had
one of earlier. We were talking about that on Can't
We Sports earlier.
Speaker 8 (26:48):
It's you know, we've been surprised it's almost nine years old.
It was about a year after we opened we introduced
that bear and it's kind of how to bolted us
into a different realm of business than we were. But
a lot of what we do now is that and
experimental stuff. I think the beer right now that's the
most popular for us at the fest is a euro goza,
(27:08):
so euro no meat, but it's to zeke inspires So
it's cucumber and yog l it's mint, it's lemon, it's garlic,
it's sea salt, and it's we're pairing it with a
little food, and it's probably gonna be the first beer
we take.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
This is a beer that has all these essential and
radios that you don't normally combine.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
So what went into the design and the tastes testing
for that.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
It's kind of become a tradition for us, because I
think at some point, you know, we're ten years into this.
This is our eleventh kind of gabf season. It's been
a big part of our growth, and because we're an.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Hour away, we're kind of like the perfect storm of
like people can't always make it up to Greeley during
this week. We have people coming for all of the
country really.
Speaker 8 (27:53):
For this event, but we can do something cool and
unique here at the festival that both people here around
the Denver area and kind of metro area and people from.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Out of state can kind of get excited about. So
food inspired beers.
Speaker 8 (28:04):
We've done a spaghetti goes though, we've done a taco
goes up yet, We've done sushi goes the last year,
and this year we kind of decided, like, hey, what's left.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
What can we do that's kind of savoring food inspired
and it's only.
Speaker 8 (28:16):
Available this week, it's only for GBF, but it's surprisingly
good and balanced.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
It's not like you're gonna want to drink it all
the time, but it's something that you can't really experience
anywhere else. So that's I don't know.
Speaker 8 (28:29):
JBF has changed a lot in the last you know,
even since COVID, and we just think it should be fun.
Then we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Well, let's talk a little bit about that. It has
changed quite a bit over the years as you've been
doing this. What would you say is the biggest change
with not only yourselves, but with the great American beer?
Speaker 8 (28:45):
First, I think a lot of it's just we're saying,
you know, overall alcohol, not just beer, but alcohol.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Sales are down, they're lower, and I think people are shifting.
Speaker 8 (28:54):
I think that's the maturity of that is great. I
think places like Bero, they're here servingly not alcoholic. Here
we've got really great examples of I think people are
surprised at how good that those are, and they absolutely
I think deserve a place in our segment. Not all
of us can produce them. They're harder to produce than
(29:14):
most beers.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Let't be dovetail up there. Real quick drinking habits are
different from American zc's.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
We're talking like that earlier. You know, the younger crowds
less apt to go out to the bar.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Drinking is down a little bit, and so a lot
of you guys are tailoring your products to and evolving
with the drinking and it's in America.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
How are you guys evolving with those shrinking admits.
Speaker 8 (29:35):
We do it with innovation and just trying to find
different flavors that resonate with a different audience. So a
lot of our beers, like we do ju see this
is by far our biggest seller. That's our hazy ipa.
Right outside of that, that's about half of our volume.
We do almost one hundred and fifty different.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Beers every year that are all over the place. We
have a strawberry marderita right now. It's deer, but it's
still you know, obviously cocktail inspired.
Speaker 8 (29:59):
We're doing an orange cream school that we're doing with
orange creamsule ice cream is a beer float right now
at GVF.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
So we're just trying to find things that's not just
you know, shotgun approach to see what sticks a little
little bit of that and seeing what people want and
why they're excited about something that's either really flavor driven
or maybe it's more approachable, maybe it's more Hey, it's LORI.
Maybe can you get something I can enjoy and I
don't have to? You know, we do everything from you know,
really approachable styles to something that has aged in barrels
(30:26):
for almost three years. Yeah, our our program director loves
the peril age stuff a lot.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
All right, So this is a question I know that
no one's ever answered.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
So you're going to get this here.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
Okay, A wait, So if someone wants were to grab
a can of your beverage and pop the top, if it.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Was if it made a musical song, but what would
be that music is sold? Because I think you can
talk about it. But the jubilee what is it?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Everybody's trying to pair the food with the beverage. I
love that.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Yes, someone.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Juicy Brits do as a song.
Speaker 8 (31:02):
That's a great question because I think what I love
about that beer in particular is it's.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
For i Pa forever. Ipa has always been really consulatively bitter.
It's like hops are like, oh, but they're just coming
out of the glass and that can be true.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
But the problem is ten fifteen years ago that was
it's hard to drink. They're really bitter. They finished on
a palate really harsh. Now, I think why hazy ipa
in particularly has grown so much, just because it's still.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
You can still have a couple and not feel like
my palate's just completely done. You get the hot flavor.
Speaker 8 (31:33):
Without all that intense better days, so be something, you know,
it's something palatable. I'm trying to think what pot would
you so, I'm thinking juicy bits? Uh, it made up
a song?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Well what if I sort of sad popped the top.
Samuel Jackson's voice came out of it.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
I mean Samuel Jackson hard. He does talk loud. Yeah,
that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 8 (31:54):
And maybe like his voice, like Sam Cook or somebody
that's like how you just listening to You're like, man,
that voice.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Is something I could It's like enjoy for hours. There's
something to do that. Yeah, sitting on the dock of
the bay a little but you know, sitting dow is reading. Yes, yes,
you know it's not.
Speaker 8 (32:08):
I think it's something that you could enjoy for a
long period of time. But every time you have to
sit You're like, I just enjoyed that very nostalgic.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Very nostalgic. H. I love that. That's a great question.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
I have love that I had a Switz earlier and
I they is one of my old time favorites. I
do love that that beer you said, you guys got
the uh that goes over there with the describe these
flavors again, because this is this is trip for me.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Euro goes ah Is. It's to Zeke inspired, so it's yogurt. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (32:36):
And then we got Min's real mint deal cucumber, garlic,
sea salt, and it's acidic, so it touching.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
That sounds like the salad I had before I came here.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
It would go great with that salad.
Speaker 8 (32:48):
I have to try it, but I think, but we're
serving with non and hummus and cucumber, so we have
a little pair invite with it.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
That gets me about this because the pairing because usually,
like when I was in college, guys, we just drink
beer just to drink beer.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Now there's a certain level of sophistication to it.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
What your palette and.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Trying to keep that gola.
Speaker 8 (33:09):
Yeah, and I think we want to find every part
of it, like we want to have the beer you
have as an appetizer or an apparteeth, you know, it's
it's something that starts. Yeah, we want to have we
want to have a dessert, you know, like it's typically
port or a sweet wine or maybe it's called yact. Yes,
we have a barely age out that you would you
know if you wouldn't want to drink sixteen ounces of it,
but two three ounces perfect way to finish your meal.
(33:31):
When something during your main course by juicy bits. Maybe
it's a check style pills.
