Chris Cooper came up with the concept of getting to know local business owners and hearing their story over a few beers in a Podcast. When business as we know it changed over the last two weeks (March 2020) and many local businesses have had to shut down or change business as usual, Chris along with Jason Kaleta and Melissa Fradenburg decided no better time to highlight some of those businesses and launch 81 Kercheval- Beers with Business Owners. We hope you enjoy our first episode and please give us a follow so you don't miss out on more fun. (also note these Podcasts can be done virtually so as to continue responsible "social distancing" during these crazy times)
