1
00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:02,179
It's the Brew podcast.

2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:06,879
It is the drive, Brew Herlinda Horace, the

3
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:07,379
international

4
00:00:07,679 --> 00:00:09,519
beer judge and food judge is with us.

5
00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:10,500
So we got Brianne,

6
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,619
Hoist here, and she's the marketing director

7
00:00:14,214 --> 00:00:14,714
for,

8
00:00:15,414 --> 00:00:17,734
it's actually kind of a a group Thank

9
00:00:17,734 --> 00:00:18,234
you.

10
00:00:18,614 --> 00:00:20,074
Of Golden State Cider,

11
00:00:20,535 --> 00:00:23,335
Sun and Shine Cocktails, and also our one

12
00:00:23,335 --> 00:00:25,974
of our regulars, Seismic Brewing Company. So but

13
00:00:25,974 --> 00:00:27,094
this is the first time you've been on

14
00:00:27,094 --> 00:00:28,154
the air. We normally

15
00:00:28,614 --> 00:00:30,980
used to have this crazy awesome guy with

16
00:00:30,980 --> 00:00:32,039
long curly hair.

17
00:00:32,739 --> 00:00:35,219
I remember him. Yeah. Anthony. Yeah. Those are

18
00:00:35,219 --> 00:00:36,600
the days. Oh, Brian, what's,

19
00:00:38,019 --> 00:00:38,519
okay.

20
00:00:39,219 --> 00:00:42,019
Talk about the cocktail situation first. That entices

21
00:00:42,019 --> 00:00:43,539
me. But by the way, this cider that

22
00:00:43,539 --> 00:00:44,439
you you poured,

23
00:00:45,005 --> 00:00:46,844
I'm not huge on cider. I like a

24
00:00:46,844 --> 00:00:48,765
lot of cider, and I really like this

25
00:00:48,765 --> 00:00:51,244
one. Great. It's our latest release actually called

26
00:00:51,244 --> 00:00:51,744
unfiltered,

27
00:00:52,524 --> 00:00:54,604
that's been released on the Golden State Cider

28
00:00:54,604 --> 00:00:56,284
brand. But in addition to that, which she

29
00:00:56,364 --> 00:00:58,125
what we're talking about today, a lot of

30
00:00:58,125 --> 00:01:00,840
the time is the sunshine cocktails. So Golden

31
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,159
State Cider has a sister brand now called

32
00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:05,879
Sunshine Cocktails, crafted in a very similar way

33
00:01:05,879 --> 00:01:08,200
to Golden State Cider. So we focus on

34
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,439
creating 3 different cocktails to start. One's a

35
00:01:10,439 --> 00:01:13,340
Valencia orange mimosa, one is a pineapple mimosa,

36
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,180
and then a hibiscus spritz.

37
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,755
All very delicious. So you're the marketing director

38
00:01:17,755 --> 00:01:21,215
for Sonoma Craft, which is under the Jackson

39
00:01:21,355 --> 00:01:21,855
family,

40
00:01:23,594 --> 00:01:25,755
shade. Right? Not shade. I mean that in

41
00:01:25,755 --> 00:01:26,875
a good way on a hot day like

42
00:01:26,875 --> 00:01:28,555
this. That doesn't mean it's throw shade. I

43
00:01:28,555 --> 00:01:31,590
mean, like, the umbrella. We consider ourselves like

44
00:01:31,590 --> 00:01:34,390
a sister company. Okay. So we're owned by,

45
00:01:34,390 --> 00:01:36,149
you know, or co owned by one of

46
00:01:36,149 --> 00:01:38,789
the Jackson family members. Mhmm. But we operate

47
00:01:38,789 --> 00:01:41,429
as 2 completely different companies. Yeah. Because Christopher

48
00:01:41,429 --> 00:01:43,209
Jackson's been on the show before,

49
00:01:43,954 --> 00:01:45,814
who started, you know, Seismic Brewing,

50
00:01:46,274 --> 00:01:48,375
and he came on right before the election

51
00:01:48,674 --> 00:01:49,174
also,

52
00:01:50,914 --> 00:01:52,914
4 4, 5 years ago, and we were

53
00:01:52,914 --> 00:01:53,814
talking about,

54
00:01:54,754 --> 00:01:57,814
climate change and your dedication to sustainability

55
00:01:58,435 --> 00:02:00,590
at the companies as well too. And we

56
00:02:00,590 --> 00:02:02,030
would love to have him back again since

57
00:02:02,030 --> 00:02:03,790
we've got another election coming. I'm I bet

58
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:05,629
Steve would love that. He was a great

59
00:02:05,629 --> 00:02:08,430
speaker. Yeah. Absolutely. I'm sure. Hopefully, he'd love

60
00:02:08,430 --> 00:02:09,709
to come back. I'm sure that he would.

61
00:02:09,709 --> 00:02:11,629
We'll talk with him about that soon. Yeah.

62
00:02:11,949 --> 00:02:13,469
It's really great. I mean, I think what

63
00:02:13,469 --> 00:02:15,685
the nice thing is is we've got 3

64
00:02:15,685 --> 00:02:18,504
brands now that have that synergy between sustainability.

65
00:02:19,125 --> 00:02:20,724
You know, when you took Golden State Cider

66
00:02:20,724 --> 00:02:23,525
and Seismic and really created this wonderful craft

67
00:02:23,525 --> 00:02:24,985
company underneath it,

68
00:02:25,284 --> 00:02:26,564
we wanted to be you know, we are

69
00:02:26,564 --> 00:02:28,724
like minded brands. So they both come with

70
00:02:28,724 --> 00:02:31,780
that sustainability in mind and quality in mind.

71
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,460
I see Golden State Cider

72
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:34,900
everywhere

73
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,040
now. So our friend, who's come on the

74
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,280
show before that they sold a Jolie, Devoted

75
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,760
Wade. She they had her family had orchards

76
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,760
and they had started, you know, the Golden

77
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,044
State Cider and then,

78
00:02:45,604 --> 00:02:47,444
Christopher, you know, bought them with, you know,

79
00:02:47,444 --> 00:02:49,364
Seismic is what getting that started, which I

80
00:02:49,364 --> 00:02:50,504
love. And then you consolidated

81
00:02:51,844 --> 00:02:54,245
at the Barlow in the tap room there,

82
00:02:54,245 --> 00:02:56,164
so there's no more Seismic tap room. So

83
00:02:56,164 --> 00:02:57,764
a lot of people think that Seismic had

84
00:02:57,764 --> 00:03:00,599
closed and ended, but it's actually over at

85
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:03,159
the Golden State. Correct. But there's some changes

86
00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:03,900
going on

87
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,039
with the Seismic Brewery, and I heard you

88
00:03:06,039 --> 00:03:07,719
could only get it now at the tap

89
00:03:07,719 --> 00:03:10,280
room? So we're really focusing on Seismic as

90
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,360
a log craft logger brand right now. Okay.

91
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,795
We're focusing on draft only distribution. So we

92
00:03:14,795 --> 00:03:16,555
have it available at the tap room all

93
00:03:16,555 --> 00:03:17,295
year round.

94
00:03:17,754 --> 00:03:19,514
And then we do have distribution within the

95
00:03:19,514 --> 00:03:21,915
North Bay area Mhmm. Or the Greater Bay

96
00:03:21,915 --> 00:03:24,075
area, but on draft only and really focusing

97
00:03:24,075 --> 00:03:25,594
on those craft lager. So, like, some restaurants

98
00:03:25,594 --> 00:03:28,075
and places like that. I love the lubian

99
00:03:28,075 --> 00:03:30,389
Pilsner. That is one of my favorite beers.

100
00:03:30,389 --> 00:03:31,990
What about the Tremor? So we'll still have

101
00:03:31,990 --> 00:03:34,310
Tremor. We'll still have Low calorie, low carb.

102
00:03:34,310 --> 00:03:37,349
That's a great active beer. Absolutely. The red

103
00:03:37,349 --> 00:03:39,110
lager has done really well for us. I've

104
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:40,789
tried that. Yeah. There's a few really great

105
00:03:40,789 --> 00:03:42,229
lagers, and I think that's where we wanted

106
00:03:42,229 --> 00:03:44,250
to focus our specialty on that craft lager

107
00:03:44,534 --> 00:03:46,375
base. Very cool. And then, so now we're

108
00:03:46,375 --> 00:03:48,294
trying something brand new to the Golden State

109
00:03:48,294 --> 00:03:48,794
Cider.

110
00:03:49,094 --> 00:03:50,614
But tell us about you, like, so you

111
00:03:50,614 --> 00:03:51,995
look familiar to me.

112
00:03:52,375 --> 00:03:55,034
And what so how long have you been

113
00:03:55,254 --> 00:03:57,014
with Sonoma Craft? So I've been with Sonoma

114
00:03:57,014 --> 00:03:58,474
Craft for 3 years now.

115
00:03:59,175 --> 00:04:00,900
I come from the wine industry as a

116
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:03,060
background. I've been doing brand marketing for 15

117
00:04:03,060 --> 00:04:03,879
years now.

118
00:04:04,340 --> 00:04:06,260
But it's been amazing, you know, coming in,

119
00:04:06,260 --> 00:04:08,979
working for Golden State. I've heard Golden State

120
00:04:08,979 --> 00:04:11,620
prior to the companies coming together as a

121
00:04:11,620 --> 00:04:14,099
merger. Okay. And then just being able to

122
00:04:14,099 --> 00:04:16,365
work on more brands with that same ethos

123
00:04:16,365 --> 00:04:18,845
has been really incredible. And launching Sun and

124
00:04:18,845 --> 00:04:20,064
Shine this past year,

125
00:04:20,764 --> 00:04:22,865
has been certainly a highlight of 2024.

126
00:04:23,324 --> 00:04:24,704
So Canned cocktails,

127
00:04:25,004 --> 00:04:28,544
premade cocktails are really happening. Spirits.

128
00:04:29,019 --> 00:04:31,180
So last year, the reports came out that

129
00:04:31,180 --> 00:04:31,680
spirits

130
00:04:32,219 --> 00:04:32,719
overtook

131
00:04:33,579 --> 00:04:36,079
dollar sales over beer.

132
00:04:36,699 --> 00:04:39,439
And, you know, I'm an equal opportunity drinker.

133
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:41,654
So I'm I'm I'm you know, I think

134
00:04:41,654 --> 00:04:43,495
that it's okay to have a race going

135
00:04:43,495 --> 00:04:44,935
and a little bit of competition, but I

136
00:04:44,935 --> 00:04:46,134
like that you guys do all of it

137
00:04:46,134 --> 00:04:48,454
right there. So we just had this new

138
00:04:48,454 --> 00:04:51,014
unfiltered Golden State Cider. It's delicious Great. As

139
00:04:51,014 --> 00:04:52,935
Steve was talking about. And then you have

140
00:04:52,935 --> 00:04:53,595
a Brut.

141
00:04:54,055 --> 00:04:55,894
Tell us about the ciders. Give me a

142
00:04:55,894 --> 00:04:58,470
shot or something. Yeah. Absolutely. Do you want

143
00:04:58,470 --> 00:04:59,990
more of the unfiltered, or did you wanna

144
00:04:59,990 --> 00:05:01,509
try oh, should we just open up with

145
00:05:01,509 --> 00:05:02,870
one of the new cocktails? Yeah. Let's do

146
00:05:02,870 --> 00:05:05,350
that. Oh, yeah. Okay. Alright. Open one of

147
00:05:05,350 --> 00:05:06,790
the new cocktails. So I'll go through what

148
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:08,389
Golden State Cider, you know, the way that

149
00:05:08,389 --> 00:05:10,389
we look at the brand. For Golden State

150
00:05:10,389 --> 00:05:12,490
Cider, we have different tiers of cider

151
00:05:12,845 --> 00:05:14,444
that come through on Golden State Cider. The

152
00:05:14,444 --> 00:05:16,205
the base tier is called our core tier,

153
00:05:16,205 --> 00:05:17,884
and that's what most people know. So that's,

154
00:05:17,884 --> 00:05:20,685
like, the mighty dry, our brute, jamaica. And

155
00:05:20,685 --> 00:05:22,845
from that tier, we've actually expanded and we

156
00:05:22,845 --> 00:05:25,725
added unfiltered this past year. Delicious. Unfiltered, we

157
00:05:25,725 --> 00:05:27,310
really see as kind of our orchard to

158
00:05:27,310 --> 00:05:30,850
can experience. It's really dry compared to,

159
00:05:31,310 --> 00:05:32,910
other ciders that you'd find out there in

160
00:05:32,910 --> 00:05:35,069
the market. We use a unique beef fruit

161
00:05:35,069 --> 00:05:35,569
yeast,

162
00:05:36,029 --> 00:05:38,350
to give it that really rich, big apple

163
00:05:38,350 --> 00:05:40,129
flavor that you're getting from it.

164
00:05:41,294 --> 00:05:43,615
And so from our line, we also introduced

165
00:05:43,615 --> 00:05:45,294
this past year the the mighty dry or

166
00:05:45,294 --> 00:05:47,134
dry and mighty. So this is our NA

167
00:05:47,134 --> 00:05:49,074
version of mighty dry. So a nonalcoholic

168
00:05:49,454 --> 00:05:51,375
version of the cider, and I actually have

169
00:05:51,375 --> 00:05:53,214
seen that at quite a few places because

170
00:05:53,214 --> 00:05:53,714
nonalcoholic

171
00:05:54,089 --> 00:05:54,990
has gotten really,

172
00:05:55,370 --> 00:05:57,050
really big. Everywhere I go in the world

173
00:05:57,129 --> 00:05:59,149
Yeah. It's getting bigger and bigger in mocktails

174
00:05:59,209 --> 00:06:00,649
and That's why I don't go out in

175
00:06:00,649 --> 00:06:01,230
the world.

176
00:06:02,810 --> 00:06:05,129
What is what is this? Explain this. So

177
00:06:05,129 --> 00:06:06,810
I think this is what you have. Okay.

178
00:06:06,810 --> 00:06:09,050
So sun and shine, that's our Valencia orange

179
00:06:09,050 --> 00:06:09,550
remosa.

180
00:06:10,035 --> 00:06:12,115
So it's got a cider base. It's got

181
00:06:12,115 --> 00:06:14,194
fresh Valencia orange juice in it, and then

182
00:06:14,194 --> 00:06:15,395
it's got a little bit of what's called

183
00:06:15,395 --> 00:06:16,675
an apple eau de vie. So it's like

184
00:06:16,675 --> 00:06:18,435
a clear apple brandy, and that's what brings

185
00:06:18,435 --> 00:06:20,275
it up to a nice spoon. Wow. It's

186
00:06:20,275 --> 00:06:22,754
actually 2 mimosas on this sucker. Isn't it

187
00:06:22,754 --> 00:06:25,790
delicious? It's it's actually 2 mimosas in every

188
00:06:25,790 --> 00:06:27,949
can, so it's really a great value when

189
00:06:27,949 --> 00:06:28,689
you get it.

190
00:06:28,990 --> 00:06:30,589
For us, we really wanted to focus on

191
00:06:30,589 --> 00:06:32,350
that occasion base. You know, we find a

192
00:06:32,350 --> 00:06:34,129
lot of the Golden State Cider consumers

193
00:06:34,750 --> 00:06:36,750
looking for those great occasions to take cider

194
00:06:36,750 --> 00:06:38,910
out, whether it's This is a picnic. Like,

195
00:06:38,910 --> 00:06:40,794
all of this is a Exactly. And so

196
00:06:40,794 --> 00:06:42,974
for us, we focus on more brunch cocktails.

197
00:06:43,034 --> 00:06:44,794
That's why you're gonna have 2 mimosas and

198
00:06:44,794 --> 00:06:45,534
then a spritz.

199
00:06:46,154 --> 00:06:48,154
But again, focusing on that leisure time of

200
00:06:48,154 --> 00:06:50,314
day. Like, we want people with our brands

201
00:06:50,314 --> 00:06:52,474
to sit down, enjoy the times with their

202
00:06:52,474 --> 00:06:54,500
friends and their family. And so this one

203
00:06:54,500 --> 00:06:56,660
is certainly geared towards those times of day.

204
00:06:56,660 --> 00:06:59,860
Yeah. And an absolutely fantastic cocktail. So okay.

205
00:06:59,860 --> 00:07:02,340
So what's the ABV on this? Because from

206
00:07:02,340 --> 00:07:03,400
what I was learning,

207
00:07:04,660 --> 00:07:06,420
so when you guys make the mighty dry

208
00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:08,180
Mhmm. The dry and mighty golden state Cyrus

209
00:07:08,180 --> 00:07:08,759
is nonalcoholic,

210
00:07:09,564 --> 00:07:11,805
And you're pulling you know, you're extracting out

211
00:07:11,805 --> 00:07:14,045
the alcohol so it's so it has that

212
00:07:14,045 --> 00:07:16,764
flavor of an alcoholic cider. Yep. But you're

213
00:07:16,764 --> 00:07:18,365
taking that you're take turning that into an

214
00:07:18,365 --> 00:07:19,884
eaux de v. Eaux de v's tend to

215
00:07:19,884 --> 00:07:22,720
be pretty strong, like pear or apple. So

216
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,639
what's the ABV on those cocktails? The ABV

217
00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:26,800
on a cocktail is 10%. Oh. ABV in

218
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,960
a can. Yes. So The one who does

219
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,600
2 mimosas. Yeah. 2 so 2 mimosas. Big

220
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,000
can. This is a normal sized can. So

221
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,615
2 mimosas in every can. When you think

222
00:07:35,615 --> 00:07:37,774
about a champagne flute, right, it's gonna be

223
00:07:37,774 --> 00:07:40,334
about that 5 ounce flute. And so we

224
00:07:40,334 --> 00:07:42,095
really see this as being the 12 ounce

225
00:07:42,095 --> 00:07:44,175
equation of what you'd get in 2 flutes.

226
00:07:44,175 --> 00:07:46,035
This is really brilliant. Good. Yeah.

227
00:07:47,055 --> 00:07:47,535
I wanna,

228
00:07:48,254 --> 00:07:49,474
I wanna talk about

229
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:50,420
gold,

230
00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:53,139
Golden State

231
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:54,340
Cider

232
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,259
and giving back,

233
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,100
and I'll quote from the website.

234
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,199
Along the way, we've partnered with nonprofits whose

235
00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:04,354
values equally align with our mission in supporting

236
00:08:04,354 --> 00:08:05,735
and sustaining California.

237
00:08:06,274 --> 00:08:08,055
And this is this is beautiful.

238
00:08:08,834 --> 00:08:10,754
So you directly donate a portion of your

239
00:08:10,754 --> 00:08:11,254
proceeds

240
00:08:11,714 --> 00:08:12,115
and,

241
00:08:13,394 --> 00:08:16,740
these are some great foundations to donate to.

242
00:08:17,459 --> 00:08:19,160
The Monterey Bay Aquarium,

243
00:08:19,779 --> 00:08:22,439
what a cool place. Mhmm. Farm to pantry,

244
00:08:22,979 --> 00:08:25,060

No. Conservancy.

253
00:08:44,815 --> 00:08:45,315
Yeah.

254
00:08:46,289 --> 00:08:48,370
I I lost my glasses and Mike found

255
00:08:48,370 --> 00:08:51,250
these at my house and I'm wearing them,

256
00:08:51,250 --> 00:08:53,750
but I can't I can't really see much.

257
00:08:53,970 --> 00:08:55,570
Anyway Yeah. So you guys are doing a

258
00:08:55,570 --> 00:08:57,730
lot of helping and,

259
00:08:58,610 --> 00:08:59,110
so

260
00:08:59,809 --> 00:09:03,165
speaking of, you know, North Carolina, the a

261
00:09:03,165 --> 00:09:04,945
lot of the brewers went underwater,

262
00:09:06,125 --> 00:09:08,684
or can't, you know, their their their workers,

263
00:09:08,684 --> 00:09:10,924
their their people, their buildings. I mean, all

264
00:09:10,924 --> 00:09:12,605
the way around is just awful. So there

265
00:09:12,684 --> 00:09:14,285
I do wanna mention real quick. I'm gonna

266
00:09:14,285 --> 00:09:16,225
have somebody call in about this next week.

267
00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:19,379
The North Carolina Craft Brewers Guild to help

268
00:09:19,379 --> 00:09:21,160
raise money just, like, quickly

269
00:09:21,620 --> 00:09:23,799
is doing a pouring for neighbors,

270
00:09:24,179 --> 00:09:25,960
West North Carolina hurricane,

271
00:09:27,299 --> 00:09:29,559
relief, and, you can find

272
00:09:30,065 --> 00:09:32,304
that on, if you put in pouring, like,

273
00:09:32,304 --> 00:09:33,985
p o u r I n g, pouring

274
00:09:33,985 --> 00:09:34,644
for neighbors,

275
00:09:35,504 --> 00:09:36,964

276
00:09:37,664 --> 00:09:40,865
Craft Beer Guild, you will Craft Brewers Guild,

277
00:09:40,865 --> 00:09:42,804
you'll be able to donate and help.

278
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:44,680
That's

279
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:46,840
Yeah. We're really wishing them all the well

280
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,040
out there. You know? And I'm part of

281
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,440
the ACA, so the American Cider Association, and

282
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,200
I know that we're we're really talking about

283
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,440
how we can go and support those catteries

284
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,980
and the communities out there,

285
00:09:56,519 --> 00:09:58,445
because it really they got affected, but it

286
00:09:58,445 --> 00:10:00,205
was a larger community too. And so we

287
00:10:00,205 --> 00:10:02,065
wanna make sure that we can support the

288
00:10:02,205 --> 00:10:04,284
entire community as much as we possibly can.

289
00:10:04,284 --> 00:10:05,664
So then you know, Michelle,

290
00:10:06,125 --> 00:10:09,004
of, from American, Cider Association. I helped to

291
00:10:09,004 --> 00:10:10,559
get them when they did their,

292
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,240
to get your palmier, like a sommelier Yep.

293
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:16,480
At bare bottle in the city. Nice. Yeah.

294
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,480
I connected them for that. So I'm hoping

295
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:19,700
to make it in February

296
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,254
to the, craft, craft cider. Chicago cider. Chicago

297
00:10:24,254 --> 00:10:26,434
cider. Although it's very cold there.

298
00:10:27,054 --> 00:10:28,335
It's gonna be easier to get in there

299
00:10:28,335 --> 00:10:30,595
than Portland during that ice storm last year.

300
00:10:30,735 --> 00:10:32,335
Yeah. Yeah. So we'll see if I can

301
00:10:32,415 --> 00:10:33,875
we can pull this off. So

302
00:10:34,254 --> 00:10:35,715
how like, so

303
00:10:36,095 --> 00:10:36,915
doing this

304
00:10:37,740 --> 00:10:39,840
mimosa at least the sun shines,

305
00:10:41,259 --> 00:10:43,440
how how long has this been around? What

306
00:10:43,980 --> 00:10:45,440
brought this about? And

307
00:10:45,820 --> 00:10:48,620
Yeah. We just launched it, back in July.

308
00:10:48,620 --> 00:10:50,620
So we're really new to the market. We're

309
00:10:50,620 --> 00:10:52,139
getting out there. We've got a lot of

310
00:10:52,139 --> 00:10:54,034
interest from pretty major chains.

311
00:10:54,414 --> 00:10:56,335
We've got some really great independence going out

312
00:10:56,335 --> 00:10:57,075
there right now.

313
00:10:57,695 --> 00:10:59,294
The nice thing is, you know, we we

314
00:10:59,294 --> 00:11:00,434
wanted an extension

315
00:11:00,815 --> 00:11:02,735
of what our ciders would be if it

316
00:11:02,735 --> 00:11:05,134
was to be a cocktail Mhmm. And really

317
00:11:05,134 --> 00:11:06,735
staying true to who we are. I think

318
00:11:06,735 --> 00:11:09,009
for us, we see a lot of cocktails

319
00:11:09,009 --> 00:11:11,730
out there that are using, you know, ingredients

320
00:11:11,730 --> 00:11:13,910
that aren't whole. And for us, it's important

321
00:11:13,970 --> 00:11:16,230
to make sure that we're using whole ingredients,

322
00:11:16,610 --> 00:11:18,309
real fruit, real apples,

323
00:11:18,769 --> 00:11:21,350
and really keeping to our minimalist sustainability,

324
00:11:21,730 --> 00:11:24,955
but also, like, you know, delicious quality in

325
00:11:24,955 --> 00:11:26,095
every single can,

326
00:11:26,794 --> 00:11:29,514
and while supporting the local farmers. You know,

327
00:11:29,514 --> 00:11:31,774
the Valencia oranges are from Southern California.

328
00:11:32,154 --> 00:11:34,235
Our apples are from all over the West

329
00:11:34,235 --> 00:11:36,200
Coast. Nice. So really making sure that we're

330
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,720
supporting those communities. And then you have the

331
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,440
Jamaica, which also is known as hibiscus. Yep.

332
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,419
And then a pineapple.

333
00:11:42,039 --> 00:11:43,240
So then we have so we've got our

334
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,159
core series, which I, was talking about, and

335
00:11:45,159 --> 00:11:47,024
then we've got what we call our radical

336
00:11:47,264 --> 00:11:49,184
series. Our radical series is all of our

337
00:11:49,184 --> 00:11:51,925
fruit infused series. So that would have radical

338
00:11:52,065 --> 00:11:54,085
pineapple, which is infused with pineapple,

339
00:11:54,785 --> 00:11:57,504
from Costa Rica, and then guava from Cape

340
00:11:57,504 --> 00:11:59,665
Brazil or from Brazil. That's gonna be in

341
00:11:59,665 --> 00:12:01,345
the round trip. Judging beer in Brazil in

342
00:12:01,345 --> 00:12:01,845
November.

343
00:12:02,169 --> 00:12:03,690
Oh, nice. Yeah. Nice. That should be a

344
00:12:03,690 --> 00:12:04,429
fun trip.

345
00:12:04,970 --> 00:12:06,330
And then on top of that, so we've

346
00:12:06,330 --> 00:12:08,090
got our core series, our radical series, and

347
00:12:08,090 --> 00:12:09,850
then what we have, then we have our

348
00:12:09,850 --> 00:12:12,009
harvest series. So our harvest series is what

349
00:12:12,009 --> 00:12:14,029
we would consider all of our single varietal

350
00:12:14,169 --> 00:12:16,009
ciders. So that would be Save the Grav,

351
00:12:16,009 --> 00:12:17,945
which is coming up and released for our

352
00:12:17,945 --> 00:12:19,384
harvest party every year. Oh, yeah. And you

353
00:12:19,384 --> 00:12:20,264
have to we have to talk about the

354
00:12:20,264 --> 00:12:22,764
harvest party because that's how this all got

355
00:12:23,465 --> 00:12:25,784
got started again. I love it. Because because

356
00:12:25,784 --> 00:12:27,065
you've been on in, like, you know, for

357
00:12:27,065 --> 00:12:28,825
the the we've had the Golden State Cider

358
00:12:28,825 --> 00:12:31,190
on, we've had Seismic on, and then first

359
00:12:31,190 --> 00:12:33,909
time having, obviously, the cocktails. But, you guys

360
00:12:33,909 --> 00:12:35,429
are doing a harvest party. So tell us

361
00:12:35,429 --> 00:12:37,110
about that. That sounds like fun. We're really

362
00:12:37,110 --> 00:12:38,870
excited. So we love to throw a nice

363
00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:40,950
harvest party. I think it's important to remind

364
00:12:40,950 --> 00:12:42,225
everyone, you know, what,

365
00:12:42,784 --> 00:12:45,024
you know, what great apple community we live

366
00:12:45,024 --> 00:12:47,264
in just here in Sonoma County. And so

367
00:12:47,264 --> 00:12:49,184
we're gonna be doing our harvest party this

368
00:12:49,184 --> 00:12:52,065
year on October 19th from 1 to 7

369
00:12:52,065 --> 00:12:53,924
PM at our tap room in the Barlow.

370
00:12:54,399 --> 00:12:56,240
We'll have lots of fun activities there. We're

371
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:57,919
gonna be doing a pie eating contest. We're

372
00:12:57,919 --> 00:12:58,899
gonna have raffles.

373
00:12:59,759 --> 00:13:01,360
You know, we wanna make sure that this

374
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:02,259
is not only,

375
00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:05,039
celebration of harvest for apples, but it's also

376
00:13:05,039 --> 00:13:07,120
a release of our flagship. As you noted,

377
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,320
back in the day, we made a grab

378
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,375
and seal on cider, and we still make

379
00:13:10,375 --> 00:13:11,894
that today. It's called Save the Grab and

380
00:13:11,894 --> 00:13:14,214
Steens, and it's really dedicated to supporting the

381
00:13:14,214 --> 00:13:16,394
Grab and Steens farmers here in Sonoma County.

382
00:13:17,014 --> 00:13:19,095
They're all dry farmed, so, you know, really

383
00:13:19,095 --> 00:13:20,475
looking at eco friendly,

384
00:13:20,934 --> 00:13:23,335
products to support as well. So that is

385
00:13:23,335 --> 00:13:25,959
released once a year. It's currently being produced

386
00:13:25,959 --> 00:13:28,039
right now. So our 2024 release of that

387
00:13:28,039 --> 00:13:29,559
is gonna be at the Harvest Garden. Yummy.

388
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,480
Yeah. That's So what's the what's the details

389
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,559
on that? Is there a cost? Is there

390
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,779
food? There's kid friendly, animal friendly? Kid friendly,

391
00:13:36,919 --> 00:13:39,454
animal friendly, and no cost. So it's all

392
00:13:39,454 --> 00:13:41,375
free. Just come and enjoy some time with

393
00:13:41,375 --> 00:13:43,134
us from 1 to 7. There's gonna be

394
00:13:43,134 --> 00:13:45,074
live music. There's gonna be lots of games.

395
00:13:45,695 --> 00:13:46,735
So I think a lot of things for

396
00:13:46,735 --> 00:13:47,934
a lot of people to enjoy. Are they

397
00:13:47,934 --> 00:13:51,214
doing, like, tasting or just regular bar setup,

398
00:13:51,214 --> 00:13:53,669
open or Regular bar setup, but we do

399
00:13:53,669 --> 00:13:55,909
flights for any of our service. So we

400
00:13:55,909 --> 00:13:58,309
offer 2 different flight options. And that's all

401
00:13:58,309 --> 00:14:00,149
the time then? All the time. Okay. Yes.

402
00:14:00,149 --> 00:14:02,330
Alright. I would join the conversation, but apparently,

403
00:14:02,629 --> 00:14:04,629
Herlinda doesn't want me to talk to her.

404
00:14:04,629 --> 00:14:06,495
No. I was excited about this. I know

405
00:14:06,495 --> 00:14:08,754
you are. And I'm drinking a 10% sunshine.

406
00:14:10,815 --> 00:14:13,795
Give us the history. I'm into the history

407
00:14:13,934 --> 00:14:15,075
of all these places.

408
00:14:15,535 --> 00:14:16,835
It started in 2012?

409
00:14:17,934 --> 00:14:20,254
Golden State Cider. Yes. So originally started in

410
00:14:20,254 --> 00:14:21,299
Sebastopol, California.

411
00:14:22,179 --> 00:14:24,980
We started on a apple orchard or farm

412
00:14:24,980 --> 00:14:25,639
up here.

413
00:14:26,100 --> 00:14:27,860
They actually grew quite a bit of different

414
00:14:27,860 --> 00:14:30,580
agricultural products from flowers to grapes to grab

415
00:14:30,580 --> 00:14:32,659
and seen apples. And what they found was

416
00:14:32,659 --> 00:14:35,375
that about 50% of their crop went, wasted

417
00:14:35,375 --> 00:14:37,054
every year. Nobody wanted it. I like to

418
00:14:37,054 --> 00:14:38,415
say that we kinda grew up in this

419
00:14:38,415 --> 00:14:40,495
Snow White era where everyone thinks an apple

420
00:14:40,495 --> 00:14:42,815
is just this perfect apple. But most apples

421
00:14:42,815 --> 00:14:44,735
don't come that way. They come in different

422
00:14:44,735 --> 00:14:46,975
shapes and sizes. And so about 50% of

423
00:14:46,975 --> 00:14:49,289
their crop wasn't being picked up by, by,

424
00:14:49,289 --> 00:14:51,769
you know, the restaurants and the Weird. Yeah.

425
00:14:51,769 --> 00:14:53,610
Yeah. The farmers markets and stuff. So they

426
00:14:53,610 --> 00:14:55,529
thought there's gotta be some way we can

427
00:14:55,529 --> 00:14:56,029
recoup

428
00:14:56,330 --> 00:14:57,690
this and not just have it go to

429
00:14:57,690 --> 00:15:00,269
waste. So they ended up creating the gravicinoly

430
00:15:00,570 --> 00:15:02,589
cider, bottled it, and 750

431
00:15:03,129 --> 00:15:04,830
milliliter, like, wine traditional

432
00:15:05,285 --> 00:15:07,144
glass bottles. Still not carbonated.

433
00:15:07,524 --> 00:15:09,925
Still and sold it to farmers markets. Yeah.

434
00:15:10,165 --> 00:15:12,485
And they started to gain some traction and

435
00:15:12,485 --> 00:15:14,325
finally have some restaurants that were coming in

436
00:15:14,325 --> 00:15:15,764
and saying, hey, can I buy a case

437
00:15:15,764 --> 00:15:17,750
of cider from you guys and do it

438
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:19,429
as a special this weekend or whatever it

439
00:15:19,429 --> 00:15:20,710
was? And I think at that point, they

440
00:15:20,710 --> 00:15:23,110
really knew they had something. Cool. And so

441
00:15:23,110 --> 00:15:25,429
we still produce that cider, like, we're releasing

442
00:15:25,429 --> 00:15:27,350
at the end of this month, today called

443
00:15:27,350 --> 00:15:30,730
Save the Grabenstein. But we took that element

444
00:15:30,789 --> 00:15:32,169
of making really pure

445
00:15:32,865 --> 00:15:35,585
cider, you know, no concentrates, no water, no

446
00:15:35,585 --> 00:15:37,764
sugar, just apples, yeast,

447
00:15:38,304 --> 00:15:40,705
and that's it. And so we created what

448
00:15:40,705 --> 00:15:42,625
we know as Golden State Cider today,

449
00:15:43,105 --> 00:15:45,345
by expanding into some other skews and still

450
00:15:45,345 --> 00:15:47,409
holding on to our our heritage as far

451
00:15:47,409 --> 00:15:49,970
as having the gravimocene only and expanded into

452
00:15:49,970 --> 00:15:51,330
some other areas too. So we have a

453
00:15:51,330 --> 00:15:54,129
Newtown Pippen, which is another heirloom apple that's

454
00:15:54,129 --> 00:15:56,049
well known out of Santa Cruz Mountains. Yeah.

455
00:15:56,049 --> 00:15:57,970
Yeah. So we do work with some other

456
00:15:57,970 --> 00:15:59,970
farmers in the area. And then you mentioned

457
00:15:59,970 --> 00:16:02,325
farm to pantry earlier. We actually do,

458
00:16:02,804 --> 00:16:04,644
Farm to Cider. So we work with Farm

459
00:16:04,644 --> 00:16:07,465
to Pantry and we produce a cider specifically

460
00:16:07,845 --> 00:16:10,085
with them. Very cool. And it's all sourced

461
00:16:10,085 --> 00:16:12,644
from over a 100 different local backyards in

462
00:16:12,644 --> 00:16:13,625
Sonoma County.

463
00:16:14,245 --> 00:16:16,019
So we bring in that, but their whole

464
00:16:16,019 --> 00:16:18,100
thing is reducing food waste because it's great

465
00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:20,340
for the environment. It also helps sustain some

466
00:16:20,340 --> 00:16:22,360
families that are in need of food,

467
00:16:23,379 --> 00:16:25,620
within the community. And so we produce that

468
00:16:25,620 --> 00:16:27,220
every year, and we donate back to Farm

469
00:16:27,220 --> 00:16:28,740
to Pantry to help them keep their mission

470
00:16:28,740 --> 00:16:29,240
going.

471
00:16:29,654 --> 00:16:31,815
You brought in cheesecake and a big it

472
00:16:31,815 --> 00:16:33,894
looks like a chocolate chip cookie? I think

473
00:16:33,894 --> 00:16:36,954
so. I accidentally spilled some of my mimosa

474
00:16:37,014 --> 00:16:38,855
on the chocolate chip cookie. I think we

475
00:16:38,855 --> 00:16:40,214
can give you more. Oh, no. No. It'll

476
00:16:40,214 --> 00:16:42,394
be it'll probably be enhanced even.

477
00:16:43,169 --> 00:16:45,649
And and Mike already went nuts because you

478
00:16:45,649 --> 00:16:47,490
gave him a chocolate chip cookie. Kinda like

479
00:16:47,490 --> 00:16:49,509
tiramisu and they they soak the cookies

480
00:16:49,889 --> 00:16:51,909
in the syrup. There you go. Oh, yeah.

481
00:16:51,970 --> 00:16:53,809
And I can't I love cheesecake so much.

482
00:16:53,809 --> 00:16:55,858
I can't wait to taste that. And that's

483
00:16:55,858 --> 00:16:56,464
from ACRE. Right?

484
00:16:57,084 --> 00:16:58,924
Yes. Over in the Barlow? Yeah. My friend

485
00:16:58,924 --> 00:17:01,164
Robin, he he actually bought ACRE from the

486
00:17:01,164 --> 00:17:02,225
other Yeah. ACRE.

487
00:17:02,605 --> 00:17:04,285
Yeah. They're happening. And they're one of our

488
00:17:04,285 --> 00:17:06,125
food partners. So we work with few different

489
00:17:06,125 --> 00:17:07,724
food partners in the Barlow. That's a wonderful

490
00:17:07,724 --> 00:17:09,404
thing about the Barlow is we all kinda

491
00:17:09,404 --> 00:17:11,869
work together as a big family and community,

492
00:17:13,049 --> 00:17:14,589
really supporting each other

493
00:17:14,890 --> 00:17:15,789
along the way.

494
00:17:16,170 --> 00:17:17,849
Yeah. And you guys are doing a lot

495
00:17:17,849 --> 00:17:19,390
of events over in the Barlow

496
00:17:19,769 --> 00:17:21,369
too. So I know, like, even though the

497
00:17:21,369 --> 00:17:23,849
summer is winding down, you know, you guys

498
00:17:23,849 --> 00:17:25,644
are still gonna be, like, doing probably some

499
00:17:25,644 --> 00:17:27,744
Christmas events and things like that as well.

500
00:17:28,365 --> 00:17:29,964
Mhmm. Yeah. The Barlow will definitely be doing

501
00:17:29,964 --> 00:17:32,444
events. We, as a taproom, also, we host

502
00:17:32,444 --> 00:17:32,944
trivia,

503
00:17:33,325 --> 00:17:34,464
you know, every Thursday.

504
00:17:34,765 --> 00:17:37,565
That's a great big popular piece, free to

505
00:17:37,565 --> 00:17:38,924
play. You know, it just have to be

506
00:17:38,924 --> 00:17:39,424
21.

507
00:17:40,059 --> 00:17:42,059
Groups of 6 or less are always welcome

508
00:17:42,059 --> 00:17:43,740
to come in. We also do paint and

509
00:17:43,740 --> 00:17:45,500
sip nights. So our next one that's coming

510
00:17:45,500 --> 00:17:47,259
up is sold out already, but they're doing

511
00:17:47,259 --> 00:17:49,900
a Beetlejuice painting Okay. Which is super fun.

512
00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:51,420
So with that, you get, you know, all

513
00:17:51,420 --> 00:17:54,015
the canvas and paint and lots of things

514
00:17:54,015 --> 00:17:56,654
included. That's a grand idea, my dear. We

515
00:17:56,654 --> 00:17:58,494
love doing that. I mean, for us, again,

516
00:17:58,494 --> 00:18:00,974
it comes down to sharing time with friends

517
00:18:00,974 --> 00:18:02,654
and family and finding a good way to

518
00:18:02,654 --> 00:18:04,035
just enjoy and relax.

519
00:18:04,654 --> 00:18:06,539
So what's the story there with, like, like,

520
00:18:06,619 --> 00:18:09,340
like dog friendly, kid friendly? Dog friendly, kid

521
00:18:09,340 --> 00:18:11,340
friendly. They can order food while they're there

522
00:18:11,340 --> 00:18:12,859
from some of the other places. Because, like,

523
00:18:12,859 --> 00:18:13,820
they had to go pick it up or

524
00:18:13,820 --> 00:18:16,140
gets brought over to them. Directly delivered to

525
00:18:16,140 --> 00:18:18,220
to them to their table, actually. Nice. Yeah.

526
00:18:18,220 --> 00:18:19,680
I'm lazy. That's pretty much it.

527
00:18:32,380 --> 00:18:35,819
Grace Brothers Bavarian beer when the hot flavor

528
00:18:35,819 --> 00:18:36,640
brewed inside.

529
00:18:37,740 --> 00:18:40,319
Grace Brothers Bavarian beer, Sanamakaddis,

530
00:18:41,019 --> 00:18:42,079
joy and fry.

531
00:18:43,019 --> 00:18:45,359
Beer with body, low low price.

532
00:18:45,660 --> 00:18:48,585
Premium beer, take my advice. Tyreal

533
00:18:48,884 --> 00:18:50,025
Bavarian beer.

534
00:18:51,044 --> 00:18:52,105
Grace Brothers

535
00:18:53,044 --> 00:18:53,544
Bavarian

536
00:18:53,845 --> 00:18:54,345
beer.

537
00:18:59,044 --> 00:19:00,424
It is the drive brouhaha.

538
00:19:00,724 --> 00:19:04,170
Herlinda Harass, the international beer judge and food

539
00:19:04,170 --> 00:19:05,789
judge is with us, and the folks

540
00:19:06,250 --> 00:19:07,869
from Golden State Cider.

541
00:19:09,130 --> 00:19:10,190
Talk more about

542
00:19:10,809 --> 00:19:11,309
sunshine

543
00:19:11,930 --> 00:19:12,830
wine cocktail.

544
00:19:13,369 --> 00:19:14,190
This is a

545
00:19:15,224 --> 00:19:16,845
Valencia orange mimosa.

546
00:19:17,464 --> 00:19:19,224
You mentioned you talked about it a bit

547
00:19:19,224 --> 00:19:20,585
earlier, but get back to it if you

548
00:19:20,585 --> 00:19:23,164
would. Yeah. Absolutely. So sunshine cocktails

549
00:19:23,545 --> 00:19:25,304
is really based on this idea of a

550
00:19:25,304 --> 00:19:27,809
brunch cocktail line that we wanted to take.

551
00:19:28,289 --> 00:19:30,130
It's kind of a sister brand to Golden

552
00:19:30,130 --> 00:19:32,130
State Cider. Right. So it uses the same

553
00:19:32,130 --> 00:19:33,730
apple dry base that we do on all

554
00:19:33,730 --> 00:19:35,570
of our Golden State Ciders, but we mix

555
00:19:35,570 --> 00:19:38,630
in fresh Valencia orange juice, fresh pineapple,

556
00:19:39,009 --> 00:19:40,150
and then fresh hibiscus

557
00:19:40,450 --> 00:19:43,009
Wow. Into the 3 different cocktail lines that

558
00:19:43,009 --> 00:19:45,214
we have. There are 10% ABV,

559
00:19:45,755 --> 00:19:48,234
per can, but they are 2 cocktails or

560
00:19:48,234 --> 00:19:49,674
2 It's it's a good one to share.

561
00:19:49,674 --> 00:19:51,835
Yeah. Exactly. I was just thinking this pineapple

562
00:19:51,835 --> 00:19:53,914
one is so good and fresh. These aren't

563
00:19:53,914 --> 00:19:55,674
sweet. No. That's why I liked it. They're

564
00:19:55,674 --> 00:19:57,960
not sweet, and they're really sneaky. You've never

565
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:58,859
guessed it was 10%,

566
00:19:59,559 --> 00:20:01,640
but, like, some ice and a sprig of

567
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,880
mint with this pineapple one. Oh my goodness.

568
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,880
But, yeah, I would probably share. It's a

569
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,880
good thing we're all sharing these cans right

570
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:08,359
now because

571
00:20:08,974 --> 00:20:10,894
but they're but they don't taste high alcohol.

572
00:20:10,894 --> 00:20:11,875
They're not sweet.

573
00:20:12,174 --> 00:20:15,375
They're not sticky and cloying. And, and they

574
00:20:15,375 --> 00:20:17,455
are canned folks, so you can actually throw

575
00:20:17,455 --> 00:20:19,134
them in your cooler and go to a

576
00:20:19,134 --> 00:20:20,734
picnic. And I wish they'd let people take

577
00:20:20,734 --> 00:20:22,575
them into concerts. That'd be great. Yeah. Yeah.

578
00:20:22,654 --> 00:20:24,494
Get these in the in the backyard concert

579
00:20:24,494 --> 00:20:25,950
next year. That'd be good. This is a

580
00:20:26,069 --> 00:20:27,670
we are starting to make some traction in

581
00:20:27,670 --> 00:20:28,569
concert halls,

582
00:20:28,950 --> 00:20:30,950
both with we have have Golden State Cider

583
00:20:30,950 --> 00:20:32,470
in quite a bit throughout the Bay Area

584
00:20:32,470 --> 00:20:34,569
and even Southern California at this time.

585
00:20:35,190 --> 00:20:36,869
But it's it's a great cocktail. At the

586
00:20:36,869 --> 00:20:37,910
end of the day, I think that you

587
00:20:37,910 --> 00:20:39,509
can really taste the difference when it's got

588
00:20:39,509 --> 00:20:41,964
real pineapples and real apple. And, you know,

589
00:20:41,964 --> 00:20:43,804
we do wanna stay on that drier side.

590
00:20:43,804 --> 00:20:45,804
Like, we are very well known for being

591
00:20:45,804 --> 00:20:47,904
on the drier side, just as a company,

592
00:20:48,444 --> 00:20:50,224
is all the brands in general.

593
00:20:50,924 --> 00:20:52,284
But This does have a dry sense of

594
00:20:52,284 --> 00:20:55,025
humor too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

595
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,559
But, yeah, they've been doing amazing. It's been

596
00:20:57,559 --> 00:20:59,319
really nice to see what's been coming back

597
00:20:59,319 --> 00:21:00,460
from Sun and Shine.

598
00:21:00,839 --> 00:21:02,759
We're really excited for what we're doing. We're

599
00:21:02,759 --> 00:21:05,240
looking to expand this cocktail line into the

600
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,220
few in the future,

601
00:21:06,759 --> 00:21:08,599
fairly quickly, I think, just based on the

602
00:21:08,599 --> 00:21:10,679
success we've seen. So who's making these? Who's

603
00:21:10,679 --> 00:21:12,734
who's your, just, like, I guess, would be

604
00:21:12,734 --> 00:21:14,835
cider your cider maker, your distiller,

605
00:21:15,455 --> 00:21:18,275
your brewer nowadays? Yeah. So our main production

606
00:21:18,335 --> 00:21:20,494
manager is actually called Tony Dimshow, and he

607
00:21:20,494 --> 00:21:22,255
comes from the wine industry. I'd love to

608
00:21:22,255 --> 00:21:23,455
have him come back and be on the

609
00:21:23,455 --> 00:21:24,975
show at some point to really talk about

610
00:21:24,975 --> 00:21:27,200
some of the technical. That'd be great. Pieces.

611
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,960
But he's been with the company for, I

612
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,580
believe, 2 years at this point,

613
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,440
but has a lot of ability within the,

614
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:34,960
you know, taking what he knows from the

615
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:35,779
wine industry.

616
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,039
We produce our ciders very similar to a

617
00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:40,259
sparkling white wine.

618
00:21:41,025 --> 00:21:42,705
So when you're looking at how, you know,

619
00:21:42,705 --> 00:21:45,025
our ciders are produced, it it it's gonna

620
00:21:45,025 --> 00:21:47,744
have that drier, that really clean, refreshing taste

621
00:21:47,744 --> 00:21:48,244
profile.

622
00:21:48,785 --> 00:21:50,785
So his background is perfect for the way

623
00:21:50,785 --> 00:21:52,225
that we go and produce all of our

624
00:21:52,225 --> 00:21:53,904
ciders and and what goes into sun and

625
00:21:53,904 --> 00:21:55,105
shine at the end of the day. Great

626
00:21:55,105 --> 00:21:57,859
work. Sonoma County Taproom at the Barlow. Talk

627
00:21:57,859 --> 00:21:58,759
more about that.

628
00:21:59,140 --> 00:22:00,900
So we we love our taproom. We've been

629
00:22:00,900 --> 00:22:02,579
at the Barlow for for quite a few

630
00:22:02,579 --> 00:22:05,380
years now. We're open Monday through Sunday from

631
00:22:05,380 --> 00:22:06,359
noon to 9.

632
00:22:07,140 --> 00:22:09,059
It's our home base. We like to call

633
00:22:09,059 --> 00:22:10,484
it kind of our 3rd place. You know,

634
00:22:10,484 --> 00:22:11,724
I just sent out some

635
00:22:12,125 --> 00:22:14,765
That's 3 times. Yeah. Yeah. Big long hours

636
00:22:14,765 --> 00:22:16,605
throughout the day. We often have live music

637
00:22:16,605 --> 00:22:18,765
there on the weekends. We do trivia every

638
00:22:18,765 --> 00:22:19,664
Thursday night,

639
00:22:20,045 --> 00:22:22,045
from 5 to 7. We also do, like

640
00:22:22,045 --> 00:22:23,650
we said, the sip and paint nights, and

641
00:22:23,650 --> 00:22:25,490
then we'll host quite a few events throughout

642
00:22:25,490 --> 00:22:27,009
the year. So we just finished a kill

643
00:22:27,009 --> 00:22:27,910
the barrel event,

644
00:22:28,609 --> 00:22:30,150
which was with our fresh,

645
00:22:30,529 --> 00:22:31,349
Santa Rosa,

646
00:22:31,650 --> 00:22:32,630
you know, hoplauber

647
00:22:33,410 --> 00:22:35,170
that we did. So we barrel it, and

648
00:22:35,170 --> 00:22:37,170
then we say kill the barrel. We crack

649
00:22:37,170 --> 00:22:39,544
that barrel open, and we start doing, you

650
00:22:39,544 --> 00:22:41,544
know, pint service early on in the day,

651
00:22:41,544 --> 00:22:42,825
and the goal is to really get to

652
00:22:42,825 --> 00:22:44,105
the end of the barrel by the end

653
00:22:44,105 --> 00:22:44,765
of the day.

654
00:22:45,224 --> 00:22:46,825
And then we're coming up on our harvest

655
00:22:46,825 --> 00:22:49,544
party. So, you know, October is National Cider

656
00:22:49,544 --> 00:22:50,044
Month,

657
00:22:50,585 --> 00:22:52,184
and it's important for us to make sure

658
00:22:52,184 --> 00:22:53,579
that we're keeping that in mind when it

659
00:22:53,579 --> 00:22:55,259
comes to the community. So we're looking forward

660
00:22:55,259 --> 00:22:58,059
to the harvest party that'll be, from noon

661
00:22:58,059 --> 00:23:00,539
to or sorry, from 1 to 7 on

662
00:23:00,539 --> 00:23:02,619
19th. So we're looking forward to that coming

663
00:23:02,619 --> 00:23:04,400
up. DeVoto used to do,

664
00:23:04,779 --> 00:23:05,519
a Wassell

665
00:23:05,934 --> 00:23:08,414
party. They did. Which so that out in

666
00:23:08,414 --> 00:23:09,555
the apple orchards,

667
00:23:10,414 --> 00:23:13,535
very, very, very old tradition Yeah. With, like,

668
00:23:13,535 --> 00:23:16,494
singing and and hot mold cider. And we

669
00:23:16,494 --> 00:23:17,634
sit out, you know, on

670
00:23:17,934 --> 00:23:20,710
under the trees on hay bales, and that

671
00:23:20,710 --> 00:23:22,630
was really, really cool. So this is kind

672
00:23:22,630 --> 00:23:24,950
of your homage to that then. Yeah. It's

673
00:23:24,950 --> 00:23:26,789
our homage. It's different time of the year.

674
00:23:26,789 --> 00:23:28,630
I've seen photos of that. It looked like

675
00:23:28,630 --> 00:23:30,009
such an amazing event.

676
00:23:30,309 --> 00:23:31,590
I wish I had a chance to go

677
00:23:31,590 --> 00:23:34,009
there. I I wanna remind folks that Natalie,

678
00:23:34,390 --> 00:23:36,095
from Russian River Brewing is gonna be calling

679
00:23:36,095 --> 00:23:37,375
in in a minute too to talk about

680
00:23:37,534 --> 00:23:39,375
Actually, we're gonna be calling her in just

681
00:23:39,375 --> 00:23:40,194
a few moments.

682
00:23:40,575 --> 00:23:42,815
Nice. But go ahead. Yeah. So,

683
00:23:43,534 --> 00:23:45,214
but yeah. So, like, I love, like, this

684
00:23:45,214 --> 00:23:46,274
time of year because

685
00:23:46,575 --> 00:23:49,140
there's just, like, Halloween and Yeah. That kind

686
00:23:49,140 --> 00:23:50,659
of stuff. Like, we we're so lucky here

687
00:23:50,659 --> 00:23:53,240
in Sonoma County. Oh, we've luck out entirely.

688
00:23:53,299 --> 00:23:54,740
There's so many things to do. And, you

689
00:23:54,740 --> 00:23:56,339
know, the Grab and See and Apple Fair,

690
00:23:56,339 --> 00:23:58,679
we're a big sponsor and promoter of that.

691
00:23:59,059 --> 00:24:00,819
So that happens just a couple months in

692
00:24:00,819 --> 00:24:02,724
August. Right? But really trying to get out

693
00:24:02,724 --> 00:24:04,085
there and be a part of the community

694
00:24:04,085 --> 00:24:05,144
as much as we can.

695
00:24:05,605 --> 00:24:07,684
And then we should try I wanna try

696
00:24:07,684 --> 00:24:10,044
one of these new the radical line Okay.

697
00:24:10,164 --> 00:24:12,244
Of the Golden State Ciders. So it's a

698
00:24:12,244 --> 00:24:13,224
radical pineapple

699
00:24:13,940 --> 00:24:16,420
and radical guava. What makes them radical beside

700
00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:18,500
is it just because adding that to the

701
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:20,420
cider? I mean, the tropical fruit. So I

702
00:24:20,420 --> 00:24:21,859
think it is a little fun. What we

703
00:24:21,859 --> 00:24:23,380
do, a a lot of people don't realize

704
00:24:23,380 --> 00:24:25,380
this, is balance out. So we've got radical

705
00:24:25,380 --> 00:24:27,140
pineapple, but it actually has a hint of

706
00:24:27,140 --> 00:24:27,640
cinnamon.

707
00:24:28,065 --> 00:24:29,904
Oh. So really just to round out that

708
00:24:29,904 --> 00:24:31,664
flavor, and the guava has a hint of

709
00:24:31,664 --> 00:24:32,565
cayenne pepper.

710
00:24:33,345 --> 00:24:35,264
So little things that yeah. I would say

711
00:24:35,264 --> 00:24:37,424
you the surprise that you're gonna find within

712
00:24:37,424 --> 00:24:39,664
that radical series. But for us, we really

713
00:24:39,664 --> 00:24:40,644
consider that

714
00:24:41,250 --> 00:24:42,549
real unique fruit,

715
00:24:42,930 --> 00:24:45,349
fruited cider. And from us using real fruit,

716
00:24:45,490 --> 00:24:47,570
that's really what makes up radical the radical

717
00:24:47,570 --> 00:24:50,049
series started as radical paradise, which was really

718
00:24:50,049 --> 00:24:52,450
only radical pineapple. And so for us, we

719
00:24:52,450 --> 00:24:55,089
wanted to expand it to offering more tropical

720
00:24:55,089 --> 00:24:57,144
flavors. We know that that's certainly something that

721
00:24:57,144 --> 00:24:59,225
consumers want these days. And then how and

722
00:24:59,225 --> 00:25:00,105
how's the,

723
00:25:00,664 --> 00:25:03,065
dry and mighty alcohol free one, the NA,

724
00:25:03,065 --> 00:25:04,684
doing? Absolutely phenomenal.

725
00:25:05,305 --> 00:25:07,065
I mean, honestly, it's been amazing. I had

726
00:25:07,065 --> 00:25:08,904
a woman stop by the cidery the other

727
00:25:08,904 --> 00:25:09,644
day asking,

728
00:25:09,950 --> 00:25:11,390
where can I get dry and mighty? This

729
00:25:11,390 --> 00:25:12,750
is my favorite cider. I talk to my

730
00:25:12,750 --> 00:25:14,269
friend about it all the time. Is there

731
00:25:14,349 --> 00:25:16,589
you know, we can we please have some?

732
00:25:16,589 --> 00:25:19,789
So it's done amazingly well. I love to

733
00:25:19,789 --> 00:25:21,710
blind taste people on mighty dry and dry

734
00:25:21,710 --> 00:25:23,150
and mighty because most of the time, they

735
00:25:23,150 --> 00:25:25,150
can't tell which one has alcohol and which

736
00:25:25,150 --> 00:25:25,809
one doesn't.

737
00:25:26,804 --> 00:25:28,404
One of the important things for us is

738
00:25:28,404 --> 00:25:30,005
really to make sure that people know that

739
00:25:30,005 --> 00:25:31,784
it's a dry, nonalcoholic

740
00:25:32,325 --> 00:25:32,825
cider

741
00:25:33,204 --> 00:25:35,684
and not just sparkling apple you know, sparkling

742
00:25:35,684 --> 00:25:37,765
apple juice. It's not that sweet. It's got

743
00:25:37,845 --> 00:25:39,869
not doesn't have the sugar or the calories

744
00:25:39,869 --> 00:25:41,389
that you'd find in that. This is really

745
00:25:41,389 --> 00:25:43,569
for someone who wants an nonalcoholic

746
00:25:43,950 --> 00:25:46,669
version of a classic dry hard cider. And

747
00:25:46,669 --> 00:25:48,829
going into the holidays also, like, with,

748
00:25:50,444 --> 00:25:53,325
with Thanksgiving and Christmas and and, you know,

749
00:25:53,325 --> 00:25:54,944
the high holidays as well.

750
00:25:55,804 --> 00:25:57,804
The ciders, actually, I think do really, really

751
00:25:57,804 --> 00:25:59,024
well with, like, ham

752
00:25:59,404 --> 00:26:00,065
and turkey

753
00:26:00,444 --> 00:26:02,605
and your stuffing and your pumpkin pie. Yep.

754
00:26:02,605 --> 00:26:04,845
I think I think they go, you know,

755
00:26:04,845 --> 00:26:06,820
even better than wine. Mean, I might get

756
00:26:06,820 --> 00:26:08,420
in trouble. But but,

757
00:26:08,820 --> 00:26:11,059
so I think cider, like, goes really well

758
00:26:11,059 --> 00:26:13,559
with those types of flavors for,

759
00:26:13,940 --> 00:26:16,340
the holidays. Yeah. We see actually a pretty

760
00:26:16,340 --> 00:26:19,714
big increase in cider sales, especially on Brut.

761
00:26:19,714 --> 00:26:22,375
So Brut, we consider our champagne of ciders.

762
00:26:22,434 --> 00:26:24,674
I wanna taste that too. Brut is amazing.

763
00:26:24,674 --> 00:26:26,694
So Brut is 0 grams of sugar.

764
00:26:27,315 --> 00:26:29,794
It's completely sugar free. We call it our

765
00:26:29,794 --> 00:26:32,034
champagne ciders. Are you doing champagne yeast in

766
00:26:32,034 --> 00:26:34,650
it? So yes. So it's got apple, champagne,

767
00:26:34,650 --> 00:26:37,069
yeast, and it's, fermented completely,

768
00:26:37,849 --> 00:26:39,630
dry, but it's absolutely phenomenal.

769
00:26:40,490 --> 00:26:42,569
We love this as an option for people

770
00:26:42,569 --> 00:26:45,390
that want the, you know, experience of champagne,

771
00:26:45,450 --> 00:26:47,210
but they don't want the sugar or they

772
00:26:47,210 --> 00:26:49,115
don't wanna open an entire bottle. Like, this

773
00:26:49,115 --> 00:26:51,375
is a great opportunity for them to enjoy,

774
00:26:52,075 --> 00:26:53,994
that kind of champagne style, but in a

775
00:26:53,994 --> 00:26:56,154
cider format and in a single serve format

776
00:26:56,154 --> 00:26:58,234
with 0 grams of sugar. And I wanna

777
00:26:58,234 --> 00:27:01,115
remind everybody that ciders and the cocktails are

778
00:27:01,115 --> 00:27:02,414
gluten free. Yes.

779
00:27:03,034 --> 00:27:03,534
So

780
00:27:04,769 --> 00:27:06,769
So I'm gonna put you on people in

781
00:27:06,769 --> 00:27:07,350
the morning.

782
00:27:08,210 --> 00:27:10,070
Oh. Oh, you mean I get to talk?

783
00:27:11,250 --> 00:27:11,990
Thank you.

784
00:27:13,650 --> 00:27:15,750
Again, the tap room hours at the Barlow,

785
00:27:16,625 --> 00:27:18,945
7 days a week. Yeah. Yeah. And it's

786
00:27:18,945 --> 00:27:21,664
noon to 9 PM every day. That's that's

787
00:27:21,664 --> 00:27:22,484
pretty amazing.

788
00:27:23,904 --> 00:27:26,625
Live music on Sundays? Live music on Sundays,

789
00:27:26,625 --> 00:27:28,465

on.

796
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,039
We are going to say hello to one

797
00:27:42,039 --> 00:27:43,740
of our dearest friends,

798
00:27:44,695 --> 00:27:47,335
co owner along with her husband, Vinny, Natalie

799
00:27:47,335 --> 00:27:50,455
Chillerzo from Russian River Brewing. Hi, Natalie. How

00:27:50,455 --> 00:27:52,455

801
00:27:52,455 --> 00:27:53,755
you guys doing? Okay.

802
00:27:54,455 --> 00:27:54,955
Reconciliant.

803
00:27:55,335 --> 00:27:56,154
Great Snyder

804
00:27:56,535 --> 00:27:58,075
and Snyder. See? Well,

805
00:27:58,599 --> 00:28:01,000
the mimosa the mimosa is sneaking up on

806
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,220
me. The 10 10%

807
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,059
cocktail here we have. So what's new Natalie?

808
00:28:07,799 --> 00:28:08,299
Well,

809
00:28:09,079 --> 00:28:11,799
we're releasing a new beer tomorrow Yeah. Which

810
00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:14,654
we're really excited about. So we make an

811
00:28:14,654 --> 00:28:15,154
imperial

812
00:28:15,535 --> 00:28:17,634
porter called Shadow of a Doubt,

813
00:28:18,174 --> 00:28:20,735
and, it's a really beautiful beer. We like

814
00:28:20,735 --> 00:28:23,455
to release it in October and when, when

815
00:28:23,455 --> 00:28:24,894
the days are supposed to be getting a

816
00:28:24,894 --> 00:28:26,914
little cooler, but we're not quite there yet.

817
00:28:27,490 --> 00:28:28,929
But it is a a really beautiful,

818
00:28:31,009 --> 00:28:34,710
darker beer. It's, it's about 10% alcohol.

819
00:28:35,730 --> 00:28:38,450
It's it's got a lot of flavors of

820
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:39,615
chocolate and

821
00:28:40,015 --> 00:28:41,875
coffee and a little bit of a roastiness,

822
00:28:42,015 --> 00:28:44,414
like a roasted coffee, but it's, like, really,

823
00:28:44,414 --> 00:28:45,154
really balanced

824
00:28:45,535 --> 00:28:48,335
sweetness with a little bit of, maltiness, and

825
00:28:48,335 --> 00:28:50,755
it's just it's such a beautiful beer. And,

826
00:28:51,454 --> 00:28:53,535
the name of the beer is derived from

827
00:28:53,535 --> 00:28:54,194
the movie,

828
00:28:54,575 --> 00:28:57,429
the Hitchcock film that was filmed here in

829
00:28:57,429 --> 00:28:59,529
Santa Rosa, I believe, in 1943.

830
00:29:00,230 --> 00:29:02,569
Yeah. And it was Hitchcock's favorite film

831
00:29:02,950 --> 00:29:04,490
that he ever made. And,

832
00:29:05,190 --> 00:29:07,109
I don't know. We're always we always thought

833
00:29:07,109 --> 00:29:08,710
it would be a great name for a

834
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:08,954
dark

835
00:29:09,674 --> 00:29:12,954
beer, and, that's why we named our Imperial

836
00:29:12,954 --> 00:29:15,115
porter Shadow of a Doubt. You know, there

837
00:29:15,115 --> 00:29:17,355
was a remake with Billy Bob Thornton, I

838
00:29:17,355 --> 00:29:17,855
believe.

839
00:29:18,554 --> 00:29:21,274
Really? Yeah. It sucked. Mark Harmon did the

840
00:29:21,274 --> 00:29:24,950
remake, also here. But the original Shadow of

841
00:29:24,950 --> 00:29:27,230
a Doubt from the forties is an amazing

842
00:29:27,230 --> 00:29:28,450
movie. And just watching

843
00:29:29,390 --> 00:29:30,130
that and

844
00:29:30,430 --> 00:29:33,069
seeing the scenes in downtown Santa Rosa back

845
00:29:33,069 --> 00:29:35,444
then, you go, what the hell was that?

846
00:29:36,085 --> 00:29:38,085
Yeah. It's so cool. It is. It is

847
00:29:38,085 --> 00:29:40,024
cool. I love seeing the train station

848
00:29:40,484 --> 00:29:42,644
and right down in Courthouse Square right at

849
00:29:42,644 --> 00:29:44,724
the corner of, fourth Street about a block

850
00:29:44,724 --> 00:29:47,924
from our pub and Mendocino Avenue, and it's

851
00:29:47,924 --> 00:29:48,664
really cool.

852
00:29:49,044 --> 00:29:50,804
When is are you showing the movie in

853
00:29:50,804 --> 00:29:51,304
Windsor?

854
00:29:52,220 --> 00:29:54,700
We are, actually. Yeah. It's something we've wanted

855
00:29:54,700 --> 00:29:57,180
to do for a long time, and we're

856
00:29:57,180 --> 00:29:59,840
finally doing it. So on Thursday,

857
00:30:00,619 --> 00:30:03,974
October 17th, so what's that? 2 2 weeks

858
00:30:03,974 --> 00:30:05,115
from today. Yeah.

859
00:30:05,654 --> 00:30:08,694
We will be showing the Hitchcock film Shadow

860
00:30:08,694 --> 00:30:09,434
of a Doubt

861
00:30:09,815 --> 00:30:11,515
at, Little After Sunset

862
00:30:12,214 --> 00:30:14,535
in Windsor outdoors in the beer garden. I

863
00:30:14,535 --> 00:30:18,029
bought a 25 foot blow up screen, and

864
00:30:18,170 --> 00:30:20,650
we paid the licensing fees. And,

865
00:30:21,130 --> 00:30:23,309
we've got somebody coming with a projector

866
00:30:23,849 --> 00:30:26,090
to, to show the film. So we hope

867
00:30:26,090 --> 00:30:27,710
people will come out. It's free.

868
00:30:28,330 --> 00:30:30,180
It is rated PG. So,

869
00:30:31,275 --> 00:30:33,615
you know, while there is murder and mayhem,

870
00:30:34,955 --> 00:30:37,195
it was more implied back in those days.

871
00:30:37,195 --> 00:30:39,195
So it's not a not a gory film

872
00:30:39,195 --> 00:30:41,055
at all. And nobody got naked?

873
00:30:41,755 --> 00:30:43,914
Nobody got naked? No. There might be some

874
00:30:43,994 --> 00:30:46,720
maybe smoking or something. But Yeah. Yeah. Of

875
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,000
course. It is a scary, like, mind thriller.

876
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,440
The little girl in there and the little

877
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,400
girl's, like, seeing everything. But you you know

878
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,160
when I contacted you, you know what my

879
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,755
favorite beer is of yours. Right? It is

880
00:30:58,755 --> 00:31:00,835
shadow. Yes. Is it shadow? It is shadow.

881
00:31:00,835 --> 00:31:03,634
I I proudly proudly wear my sweatshirt, shadow

882
00:31:03,634 --> 00:31:06,035
of a doubt sweatshirt, and I tell everybody

883
00:31:06,035 --> 00:31:08,195
I can about this was this was actually

884
00:31:08,195 --> 00:31:10,755
filmed in Santa Rosa, and I'm so excited.

885
00:31:10,755 --> 00:31:12,359
So I always I always put a bottle

886
00:31:12,359 --> 00:31:13,799

887
00:31:13,799 --> 00:31:15,740

888
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,759

time. Yeah. Yeah. Our own And, Natalie, I

917
00:32:24,625 --> 00:32:25,125
said,

918
00:32:25,984 --> 00:32:29,345
a few weeks ago at Ricardo's drinking with

919
00:32:29,345 --> 00:32:31,585
some people, and I said, oh, but I'm

920
00:32:31,585 --> 00:32:33,984
dating myself. And a woman said, well, if

921
00:32:33,984 --> 00:32:35,205
you don't, who will?

922
00:32:36,799 --> 00:32:38,180
And I bought her a drink.

923
00:32:39,279 --> 00:32:41,200
That was clever. I thought that was funny

924
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:41,700
too.

925
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,259
So, you know, our own pizza Leah,

935
00:33:03,609 --> 00:33:05,929
Yes. Perfect. Where they, pair chefs with different

936
00:33:05,929 --> 00:33:07,529
breweries. And we were in there last year,

937
00:33:07,529 --> 00:33:09,210
and we we ran into her and had

938
00:33:09,210 --> 00:33:09,869
some delicious

939
00:33:10,409 --> 00:33:12,809
pizza all the way from a chef from

guys have a great night. Natalie Chilarzo from

947
00:33:26,565 --> 00:33:27,785
Russian River Brewing.

948
00:33:30,900 --> 00:33:31,559
You mentioned

949
00:33:32,259 --> 00:33:32,920
a pineapple

950
00:33:33,220 --> 00:33:35,220
mimosa thing. Yeah. You wanna try it? Yeah.

951
00:33:35,220 --> 00:33:37,940
I I I said I It's it's not

952
00:33:37,940 --> 00:33:38,440
pineappley.

953
00:33:39,140 --> 00:33:41,059
It is it isn't and isn't. It has,

954
00:33:41,059 --> 00:33:42,980
like, the essence of the pineapple. It's not

955
00:33:42,980 --> 00:33:44,820
the sweet. Well See what you think. This

956
00:33:44,820 --> 00:33:45,960
mimosa thing

957
00:33:46,325 --> 00:33:48,244
is a grand idea, and since I don't

958
00:33:48,244 --> 00:33:48,744
drive

959
00:33:49,204 --> 00:33:50,105
and he does.

960
00:33:50,484 --> 00:33:52,005
What the hell? That's I know. I really

961
00:33:52,005 --> 00:33:53,444
need to get it like, start having a

962
00:33:53,444 --> 00:33:55,845
driver after after these shows. So I wanna

963
00:33:55,845 --> 00:33:57,365
remind people also if you're going to the

964
00:33:57,365 --> 00:33:57,865
Harvesting

965
00:33:58,164 --> 00:34:00,184
You like it? Yeah. Go ahead. You're right.

966
00:34:00,619 --> 00:34:03,059
Her liver is not very pineappley, but you

967
00:34:03,100 --> 00:34:05,180
there's a hint, and it's good. It's the

968
00:34:05,180 --> 00:34:08,079
essence. It's like the essence. It you

969
00:34:08,619 --> 00:34:09,599
it's not sweet.

970
00:34:10,300 --> 00:34:11,519
It's dry.

971
00:34:12,140 --> 00:34:12,880
It's not

972
00:34:13,215 --> 00:34:15,295
sticky tasting because I've had quite a few

973
00:34:15,295 --> 00:34:16,675
of the canned cocktails that

974
00:34:16,974 --> 00:34:19,454
are overly sticky. And I am always a

975
00:34:19,454 --> 00:34:21,215
little trepidatious when I see, you know, them

976
00:34:21,215 --> 00:34:22,735
on the shelf. And I'm, like, wondering, like,

977
00:34:22,735 --> 00:34:24,894
okay. What's this gonna be like? Yeah. But

978
00:34:24,894 --> 00:34:26,335
this is great. And it's, like, just a

979
00:34:26,335 --> 00:34:26,835
regular,

980
00:34:27,215 --> 00:34:27,869
you know,

981
00:34:28,190 --> 00:34:29,410
can easy transportation,

982
00:34:31,150 --> 00:34:32,849
shareable because it is 10%.

983
00:34:33,710 --> 00:34:34,849
Luckily, like, there's

984
00:34:35,230 --> 00:34:37,309
4 of us sharing one can. Daddy likes

985
00:34:37,309 --> 00:34:37,809
it.

986
00:34:38,750 --> 00:34:39,250
It's

987
00:34:40,590 --> 00:34:42,110
pretty amazing though. You think about some of

988
00:34:42,110 --> 00:34:44,425
the hype, like, high proof IPAs. Right? The

989
00:34:44,425 --> 00:34:46,264
double ice. They're not that Well, and the

990
00:34:46,264 --> 00:34:47,625
porter, the shadow of the doubt porter is

991
00:34:47,625 --> 00:34:48,125
10%.

992
00:34:48,425 --> 00:34:51,324
But but also, I think that great

993
00:34:52,505 --> 00:34:54,984
beverages should be shared anyway. Great. I mean,

994
00:34:54,984 --> 00:34:56,425
that's the whole thing. I mean, I you

995
00:34:56,425 --> 00:34:58,510
know, people think I must be drinking a

996
00:34:58,510 --> 00:34:59,789
lot, and I I don't drink at home

997
00:34:59,789 --> 00:35:01,969
alone. It doesn't occur to me. It's not

998
00:35:02,750 --> 00:35:03,809
fun for me,

999
00:35:04,190 --> 00:35:06,289
and I I I'm a social

1000
00:35:06,949 --> 00:35:08,829
I think that's why, like, the brunch concept's

1001
00:35:08,829 --> 00:35:11,069
so great. Right? You know, it really focuses

1002
00:35:11,069 --> 00:35:13,764
on the occasion and that feeling rather than

1003
00:35:13,764 --> 00:35:15,525
just being a product. This would be great

1004
00:35:15,525 --> 00:35:17,204
with fried chicken. Like, you guys have what's

1005
00:35:17,204 --> 00:35:19,125
what's the place over there in the Barlow

1006
00:35:19,125 --> 00:35:20,965
that does the fried chicken? The Blue Ridge

1007
00:35:20,965 --> 00:35:21,465
Kitchen.

1008
00:35:22,324 --> 00:35:24,744
Oh, yeah. Yeah. That They had a wonderful,

1009
00:35:25,445 --> 00:35:27,204
fry chicken. Are they not are they not

1010
00:35:27,204 --> 00:35:28,920
opening on? I'd have to check.

1011
00:35:30,119 --> 00:35:31,480
I think I saw somebody post that they

1012
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,239
were there for, a part of the love

1013
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,559
Fluid Rich Kitchen. So they had wonderful drunken

1014
00:35:35,559 --> 00:35:37,819
fried chicken. Yeah. Clark Wolf went out. Yeah.

1015
00:35:38,359 --> 00:35:40,199
And then also the you have the Rialto

1016
00:35:40,199 --> 00:35:42,199
Theater who who, you know, let you know,

1017
00:35:42,199 --> 00:35:43,605
we love. It's also right down,

1018
00:35:44,164 --> 00:35:45,764
down there too in in the Barlow, the

1019
00:35:45,764 --> 00:35:46,744
Rialto Cinemas.

1020
00:35:47,204 --> 00:35:48,965
Nice. Yeah. And I think they're actually doing

1021
00:35:48,965 --> 00:35:50,644
your ciders as well too, and they do

1022
00:35:50,644 --> 00:35:52,405
beers, and they do some great little foods

1023
00:35:52,405 --> 00:35:55,045
and stuff as well. So when is the

1024
00:35:55,045 --> 00:35:57,949
harvest party again? So harvest party is Saturday,

1025
00:35:57,949 --> 00:36:00,449
October 19th from 1 to 7 PM.

1026
00:36:01,230 --> 00:36:02,829
We are gonna be doing a grab and

1027
00:36:02,829 --> 00:36:04,909
stein special while we're there. So we do

1028
00:36:04,909 --> 00:36:06,509
have some steins, which are really the best.

1029
00:36:06,670 --> 00:36:08,909
Like an actual stein. Okay. So we'll be

1030
00:36:08,909 --> 00:36:10,829
doing some stein and fill specials while they're

1031
00:36:10,829 --> 00:36:12,315
there if anybody wants to come. The great

1032
00:36:12,315 --> 00:36:13,675
thing is you can take the stein and

1033
00:36:13,675 --> 00:36:15,355
come back for a fill anytime you want

1034
00:36:15,355 --> 00:36:16,255

1038
00:36:23,195 --> 00:36:24,839
pies? It's gotta be apple pies. Okay.

1039
00:36:25,460 --> 00:36:28,260
Yes. And then cider slushies, but it's really

1040
00:36:28,260 --> 00:36:29,780
amazing to be able to do this and

00:36:29,780 --> 00:36:31,219
