The Fort Point HenHouse merger is the subject today with Justin Catalana of Fort Point Brewing and Colin MacDonald of HenHouse Brewing, on Brew Ha Ha with Herlinda Heras. Justin is calling in on the phone today while his friend and colleague Colin is in the studio at Wine C0untry Radio with Herlinda Heras. Fort Point Beer Co. has been featured on Brew Ha Ha before, the last time was this episode. Colin has been on the show before, most recently this episode in 2024 about the Freshtival that year. Recently HenHouse and Fort Point breweries joined forces. Although they still produce beers under the two brands, Colin describes them as having complimentary strengths. HenHouse is rooted in the North Bay and Fort Point has grown to be San Francisco's biggest craft beer. The first beer tasted today is an alcohol-free KSA from Fort Point. SF Beer Week is happening all over the Bay Area. Fort Point makes KSA which is a non-alcoholic Kölsch style beer. They also make other NA beers. Herlinda will be with Fort Point at the Dim Sum Brunch at the Hong Kong Lounge on Saturday. KSA is the beer they are most known for. Kolsch style beer comes from Cologne, Germany. They will be serving this beer tonight in the same style as a brew pub in Cologne, in the same kind of glasses. The event on Saturday is a huge Dim Sum service with Fort Point beers. This is one of Herlinda’s favorite SF Beer Week events. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Visit their website for up-to-date Pliny the Younger 2026 information. Big Chicken Big Chicken is a double IPA that HenHouse makes once a year. It is also a statement about freshness. They want it to be the freshest beer it can be. You can buy beer that was packaged the same day. Fresh beer is so much better and makes enough of a difference that they founded the brewery on that principle. They used to do a promotion called the Freshtival, where they brought beers in that were no more than a week old. This Sunday Mar. 1 they have an event to promote the end of Big Chicken this year. Colin compares its flavor to a tropical fruit bowl. That then begs the question, what do you pair it with? Something big and intense, so fried chicken. The Big Chicken fest this year closes with the Fried Chicken competition at Palace of Barrels in Petaluma, from noon to 4 PM. They will have 5 food trucks there serving to the people and a distinguished panel of judges. There will also be a separate hot sauce award. There will be a distinguished guest list and plenty of great tasting fresh beer.

“We built a business that was really there to be connected directly to the community, and I think we succeeded in that.”There are plenty of family-owned and run businesses in the local beer world, but few in which so many family members are as directly involved as Five Barrel Brewing in Wollongong.As if to prove the point, on the day we visited to record this podcast, Jane (mum) and Mike (dad) were setting up the bar and beer garden. Meanwhile, two of their three kids working in the business, Phil and Lucy, took a break from work to join us upstairs above the brewpub where, at various times, both Phil and his parents have lived. And it wasn't long before brother Tim got a mention too, in relation to a new side business he and Phil have just launched (which we learned about from Mike).The O'Sheas first opened Five Barrel in December 2015, just the second brewery in the Illawarra. Now, as they celebrate their first decade, they're part of a far larger local beer scene, which itself forms the start of an ever-longer South Coast Ale Trail stretching most of the way to the Victorian border. It's a scene in which they helped pave the way for the others, the evolution of which is just one of the topics covered in this episode.As well as reflecting on the ten years-and-counting – from the early days pouring samples in a restricted tasting room, releasing Hoppy Amber, and winning best brewery at the 2016 Sydney Craft Beer Week – right through to the launch of brewery software platform Abbl and plans to find a new home in the coming years, Lucy and Phil share insights on all manner of subjects relevant to anyone working in the craft beer community – all in typically thoughtful style.Prior to that chat, our look back on the week that was takes in our man in the South West's day spent soaking up the sights and smells of Margaret River Hops, part two of our Metro Tunnel Crafty Crawl, the new-look Molly Rose, and our jam-packed, inspiring trip to NSW.If you enjoy the show, please feel free to like and subscribe, rate and review wherever you watch or listen.

This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief takes listeners for a ride to San Antonio to sit down with Tim Crofton, the distiller behind Ranger Creek and a fellow Army Veteran. This episode goes beyond the glass. It is about service, transition, discipline, and building something meaningful after the uniform comes off. Founded in 2010, Ranger Creek was one of the first brewery and distillery combinations operating under one roof in Texas. They were putting barrels away before Texas whiskey had national momentum and before American single malt became a headline. They built this brand in South Texas heat that does not forgive shortcuts. Barrels expand, contract, and mature aggressively. You either stay disciplined or you lose control of the process. Ranger Creek chose discipline. Tim and Big Chief talk about how military service shapes leadership inside a distillery and how that mindset carries into daily operations. As fellow veterans, they also discuss the Department of Defense SkillBridge program and Ranger Creek's role in helping transitioning service members find purpose in the craft industry. Giving veterans a pathway from service to skilled trade is not just smart. It is leadership in action. The first pour of the episode was State and Republic Wheated Bourbon. Wheat brings a rounded sweetness and approachability, but Texas oak still drives structure and backbone. It represents the steady foundation of Ranger Creek's bourbon program and the control required to age whiskey in a climate that accelerates everything. Next came the Distiller's Vault Rye Whiskey. This pour shifted the tone. Rye carries natural spice and intensity, and Texas maturation amplifies it. Black pepper, baking spice, oak, and heat layered together with authority. The Vault series allows Tim to showcase barrels with bold character while still maintaining balance. This rye had grit. It demanded attention. In the second half, the conversation moved into American single malt, a category Ranger Creek has been serious about long before it gained mainstream attention. Texas Landmark The Original No. 2 American Single Malt delivered roasted malt, dark chocolate notes, and structure built for Texas aging. It is confident, direct, and distinctly Texan. Then came the 307 Tricentennial Series Single Malt. Aged in apple brandy barrels and then finished for 4.5 days in an Amburana barrel, it became something layered and memorable. The apple brandy influence brought fruit and sweetness, while the Amburana added cinnamon, baking spice, and warmth. Apple strudel in a glass. That 4.5 day finish required precision. Too long and it dominates. Just right and it transforms the whiskey. We closed with the Texas Landmark Cask Strength Mesquite Smoked Single Malt. This was the exclamation point of the episode. Mesquite smoke is bold and unmistakably Texas, but here it was controlled and intentional. The smoke wrapped around the malt instead of overpowering it. At cask strength, it delivered depth, intensity, and a finish that stayed with you. It might be the best single malt I have ever had. This episode is about Ranger Creek's history, evolution, and the work behind every barrel. It is about service, transition, heat, discipline, and building legacy in Texas. Good whiskey. Hard work. Real leadership. Take the ride. 

This episode continues the discussion of the melachah of squeezing (sechita) on Shabbos, focusing on practical halachic applications.The shiur examines the dispute regarding removing or replacing a cloth stopper in a wine barrel when liquid will inevitably be squeezed out. Even if the result is unintended and undesirable, some opinions prohibit it because the squeezing is inevitable, while others are lenient. The widespread custom follows the lenient view under specific conditions, particularly when the stopper extends beyond the cloth and no container is placed underneath to collect the liquid.A key distinction is made between different liquids. With wine and other beverages (besides water), the concern is extraction (similar to squeezing grapes or olives). With water, however, squeezing cloth may involve the prohibition of laundering, which is more stringent. Some authorities treat white wine like water in this regard.The episode then explores practical modern applications:Cleaning spilled drinks from a tablecloth without forceful squeezingThe rabbinic prohibition of squeezing hair after bathingThe permissibility debate regarding using a wet toothbrush (depending on bristle spacing)Drying with a towel after washing or bathing, which is generally permitted when done normally and without intent to squeeze

Denver Cramer is back, and we're finishing a bottle the right way: on the mic, with a Michter's Barrel Strength Rye (2016). We talk about the signature Michter's profile and why it hits so consistently. Denver's take is simple and convincing: barrels, careful temperature control during ageing, and that lower barrel entry proof mindset that prioritises flavour over efficiency. Then we get nerdy about glassware. Denver explains what the glass is doing by pushing off volatile alcohol so the flavours show up cleaner, which becomes immediately relevant when we wildly underestimate the proof. From there it turns into a broader conversation about rye. Why it's harder to distil, why a truly great rye is rare, and how the real world of whiskey includes commercial decisions: barrels that don't fit the “house profile”, blending constraints, and why some great liquid never becomes the product people expect. If you've ever wondered why Michter's feels so recognisable, this one connects a lot of dots.

In this solo episode, I get real about entering a new season by stripping everything back — from my hair, nails, and beauty routines to my finances, discipline, and faith. I open up about budgeting forcing me into my “natural girl era,” returning home to Dallas under difficult circumstances, and realizing that chasing purpose without balance can cost you time with the people who matter most.I also share what God has been teaching me in solitude: staying off social media, building discipline in private, waking up early for the gym, and truly studying the Bible for myself — starting with the book of John. From the miracle of water turning into wine, to the reminder to “fill the barrels first,” to learning why obedience always comes before breakthrough, this episode is about letting go of old versions of yourself and trusting that when God restores something, it comes back better than before.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!For exclusive bonus content, behind-the-scenes vlogs, a place connect with the LTTA FAM plus more, join the LTTA app community at LTTA.app and unlock your invite today!Audio Fam, since you listen to the audio every Monday, don't forget to go watch the YouTube on Tuesday!

From lingering "Liberation Day" tariff fears and a shift toward a more pro-growth federal policy stance to changing leadership within key sectors, Canadian equity portfolio manager Mark Rutherford unpacks what moved markets for Canadian equities in 2025. He explains how this backdrop influenced recent positioning in the Canadian equity portfolio, including adjustments within energy, banks, and gold. The conversation then turns to the U.S. intervention in Venezuela and its implications for Canadian oil: how potential increases in Venezuelan heavy crude could affect Western Canadian differentials, why integrated producers may be relatively better positioned, and the role of TMX export capacity in supporting basin pricing. Stepping back, Mark explores the move toward a more transactional, spheres of influence world and how the team is incorporating this evolving U.S.–Canada dynamic into portfolio construction through diversified, incremental shifts rather than binary macro bets. Key Highlights: • In 2025, Canadian equity returns were shaped less by the initial "Liberation Day" tariff shock and more by how markets digested that risk over time alongside a domestic pivot toward pro-growth policy—forces that helped support energy, commodities, and especially the banks. • Within financials, Canadian banks—TD in particular—saw improving fundamentals as credit conditions held up, wealth and capital markets businesses performed well, and a more growth oriented regulatory stance supported competitiveness. • In energy, the team tilted toward integrated producers like Suncor and trimmed more differential sensitive exposure such as Canadian Natural, balancing the long-term risk of higher Venezuelan heavy crude supply against the offsetting support of TMX export capacity. • The team selectively added to gold producers, seeing attractive unit economics and reasonable valuations, and viewing gold as a useful diversifier in a world of geopolitical tension, dedollarization talk, and looser fiscal discipline.  • Stepping back, Mark frames Venezuela and trade policy within a broader shift toward transactional spheres of influence and "mercantilist" great power politics—arguing for diversified, incremental positioning changes rather than binary macro bets or anchoring portfolios to any single geopolitical outcome.

It's Thursday, January 8th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Columbian pastor killed on New Year's Eve Armed individuals shot a Protestant pastor to death in Colombia on New Year's Eve. Pastor José Otoniel Ortega was a leader in the Foursquare Gospel denomination. He was celebrating the start of the New Year with his family at the time of the attack. The South American nation has faced a long-running internal conflict. Sadly, criminal groups in this conflict often target religious leaders for opposing violence. At least 10 Protestant leaders have died in such killings over the last year in Colombia. Christian Solidarity Worldwide said Ortega's denomination described him as “a beloved pastor, a faithful servant, a man who walked with God, who preached the word with love and gave his life to Kingdom service.” Venezuelan Evangelical groups calling for prayer Evangelical organizations in Venezuela are calling for prayer and peace as the country faces political upheaval. A message from the Evangelical Council of Venezuela stated, “We reaffirm our confidence in the sovereignty of God, who reigns over the nations and guides history according to His eternal purpose. … As a church, we remain committed to preaching the Gospel, building up God's people, and the pursuit of the common good.” The statement comes after the United States captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro over the weekend. Psalm 75:6-7 says, “For exaltation comes neither from the east nor from the west nor from the south. But God is the Judge: He puts down one, and exalts another.” America gets 40 million barrels of Venezuelan oil Interim authorities in Venezuela will be handing over 30 to 50 million barrels of oil to the United States. U.S. President Trump announced the news on Tuesday. He wrote on Truth Social, “This oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, as President of the United States of America, to ensure it is used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States!” President Trump and top U.S. oil executives plan to meet Friday. They are planning major investments in Venezuela's oil sector. Abortion deaths totaled 73 million worldwide in 2025 Abortion deaths rose to over 73 million last year according to Worldometer's analysis of data from the World Health Organization.  Worldometer reports 140 million total deaths in 2025. Sixty-seven million of those deaths were attributed to a cause other than abortion.  That means the killing of unborn babies accounted for over 50% of deaths last year. Once again, abortion was the leading cause of death in the world. Romans 3:15-18 says, “Their feet are swift to shed blood; destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.” Texas and Florida sue FDA over generic abortion kill pill In the United States, Texas and Florida filed a lawsuit last month against the Food and Drug Administration. The lawsuit challenges the FDA's decision to approve a new generic version of the abortion drug mifepristone. The case also challenges rules that allow women to easily obtain such abortion pills through the mail. It adds, “The United States Food and Drug Administration is responsible ‘for protect[ing] the public health by ensuring that … drugs are safe and effective.' Yet the FDA's approval and deregulation of abortion drugs have placed women and girls in harm's way.” Trump cuts social service funding to blue states over fraud concern The Trump administration cut social services funding to Democrat-led states over fraud concerns on Tuesday. The Department of Health and Human Services froze the $10 billion in funding to New York, Illinois, California, Minnesota, and Colorado. This follows the department's decision last Tuesday to freeze $185 million in child care payments to Minnesota. Daycare centers run by Somalis in the state are facing major allegations of fraud.  Christian author Phillip Yancey confessed 8-year affair Philip Yancey, the bestselling Christian author, has admitted to having an extramarital affair with a married woman for eight years and has stepped away from ministry, reports the Christian Post. In an emailed statement to Christianity Today, where he was editor-at-large, the 76-year-old Yancey stated that “I confess that for eight years I willfully engaged in a sinful affair with a married woman. My conduct defied everything that I believe about marriage. It was also totally inconsistent with my faith and my writings and caused deep pain for her husband and both of our families.” Yancey added, “I have confessed my sin before God and my wife, and have committed myself to a professional counseling and accountability program. I have failed morally and spiritually, and I grieve over the devastation I have caused.” Calling the affair “my great shame,” Yancey added that he was “now focused on rebuilding trust and restoring my marriage of 55 years. Having disqualified myself from Christian ministry, I am therefore retiring from writing, speaking, and social media.  Instead, I need to spend my remaining years living up to the words I have already written. I pray for God's grace and forgiveness — as well as yours — and for healing in the lives of those I've wounded.” Hebrews 13:3 says, “Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” Phillip Yancey was the author of several notable Christian books, including Disappointment with God, Where is God When it Hurts?, The Jesus I Never Knew, What's So Amazing About Grace?, Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference? and Where the Light Fell. U.S. government encouraging more whole foods & protein, less sugar And finally, the Trump administration released new dietary guidelines for Americans yesterday.  The policy encourages people to eat more whole foods and protein while consuming less processed foods and added sugar. The guidelines noted, “For decades, federal incentives have promoted low-quality, highly processed foods and pharmaceutical intervention instead of prevention.” Listen to comments from Brooke Rollins, the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture.  ROLLINS: “The new guidelines are all about putting the well being of Americans first, exactly where it should have been all along. This is the foundation that will make America healthy again, not just for those of us alive today, but for our children and our children's children and those coming behind. “God bless American families. God bless the American farmer and rancher and God bless America.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, January 8th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Send us a textWhy is whisky suddenly everywhere again?In this episode, we explore the surprising resurgence of both Scotch and bourbon — and why new distilleries are opening, bottles are becoming collectibles, and whisky culture feels more relevant than it has in decades.We break down how Scotch whisky has quietly entered a new golden era in Scotland, fueled by premiumization, global demand, experiential tourism, and a return to craftsmanship and patience. At the same time, we look at how bourbon exploded in popularity through American craft culture, cocktail revivals, limited releases, and hype-driven scarcity — and why that rapid growth is now entering a more mature phase.This isn't just a story about alcohol. It's a story about brand building, timing, culture, and business models. Scotch shows the power of slow compounding value, geographic protection, and long-term thinking. Bourbon shows what happens when authenticity, personality, and hype collide — and what businesses can learn when growth happens faster than patience.Whether you're a business owner, brand builder, or just someone fascinated by why certain products come roaring back into the spotlight, this conversation connects whisky's revival to broader lessons about craftsmanship, differentiation, and building something that lasts.

Trump makes a bold announcement that Venezuela is going to turn over 30 to 50 million barrels of oil as the country's opposition leader, who won the Nobel Peace Prize that Trump wanted, is speaking out about that very fact. Plus, CNN is learning the White House is discussing all options to take Greenland and they include using the United States military.   Learn more about your ad choices.

AP correspondent Ben Thomas reports President Trump is hailing the amount of oil the U.S. will be getting from Venezuela, but congressional Democrats are questioning at what cost?

In a Truth Social post late on Tuesday night, US President Donald Trump announced that Venezuela would be "turning over" between 30 and 50 million barrels of oil to the US, where it will then be sold at market prices. In this edition, we explore what impact this move could have for the US as well as for China, which was the top buyer of Venezuelan oil before a US-imposed blockade last month. Elsewhere, Japan reacts angrily to China's decision to ban exports of "dual-use" items.

It used to be that picking a single barrel was something reserved for the most dedicated enthusiasts. But today? They're everywhere. Every content creator has a club. There are regional and national facebook groups dedicated to it. And there's thousands of retailers all pushing their own single barrels. It has become an obsession that has completely transformed our industry. In this episode, we're talk about the evolution of the single barrel craze from its massive explosion back in 2014 to abundance we're navigating today. We share some personal stories and debate over "sticker" culture. We also hit on the business side where major distillers are favor high-volume accounts while the small retailers get left behind. Another issue we're seeing is the skyrocket prices for legacy programs like Four Roses. There's a lot of players in this game and we give our suggestions on what opportunities lie head for new brands to step in and thrive. I'm sure you're like me and you've got a shelf full of barrel picks and you've got the FOMO because that next single barrel, that's the special one.

With a history spanning 2,000 years and still playing a vital role in global commerce, the oak barrel, as correspondent Bill Whitaker discovers, is much more than just a container. Barrels are a vital ingredient, especially in the production of Bourbon whiskey – giving it all of its distinctive color and much of its taste. Whitaker takes us inside the largest maker of wooden barrels to glimpse the magic and mystique of this essential tradition. International crime groups are finding new, sophisticated ways to infiltrate the global supply chain online, stealing hundreds of millions of dollars of goods per year. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi reports on the growing threat of cargo theft and how 24,000 bottles of Guy Fieri's tequila vanished on their way to the warehouse. Mezcal is having its moment. This handcrafted Mexican spirit, made from agave, has seen exponential growth in popularity and production. Correspondent Cecilia Vega travels to Oaxaca's countryside and meets the mezcaleros laboring to quench the world's thirst for mezcal.

John Robinson was the last person anyone expected to become one of America's most disturbing killers. A churchgoing father, Scoutmaster, and respected Kansas City businessman, he hid a second life built on manipulation, fraud, and murder. Under his online persona, the Slavemaster, Robinson lured vulnerable women with promises of work, housing, and love, only for them to disappear without a trace.When investigators finally closed in on him in 2000, they uncovered a nightmare across two states. Barrels filled with bodies. Forged letters to families. Stolen identities. And one devastating truth: baby Heather Robinson, raised by Robinson's brother, was actually the daughter of one of his victims, Lisa Stasi.Robinson's crimes earned him the title of America's first internet serial killer. Now on death row, he has never fully revealed how many women he targeted or how far his violence went. Was he a con man who escalated into murder, or was he always a predator waiting for the internet to give him cover?

We line up four standout events—ModelZona in Phoenix, the Cleveland Model Show, Charlotte's Region 12 contest, and Middle Tennessee's ModelCon in Murfreesboro—and dig into the details that actually affect your day: judging style, registration windows, vendor-room depth, food, parking, and how fast awards wrap so you're not stuck in your chair at dusk.We start in Phoenix with ModelZona's clean one-room layout near Sky Harbor, a clear first/second/third judging approach, and thoughtful specials like Best 1945 Subject and the Raleigh Williams Craftsmanship Award. Cleveland follows with a Sunday show that truly works: two gyms split contest and vendors, elevated tables for easier viewing and photos, and an eclectic slate of special awards—from Scandinavian subjects to pop-up headlight cars to a people's choice Gundam/Mecha Pose. Charlotte adds a strong theme—From War to Peace—plus a non-sweeps policy, sold-out vendors, custom-designed Best Of awards, and a legendary Atomic Model Smasher for anyone needing a dramatic reset. Murfreesboro's ModelCon caps it with smooth flow, full IPMS categories, sold-out vendors across every genre, and Smokin' Butts BBQ parked out front; last year's 542 models set the tone for an even bigger turnout.Along the way we compare what each organizer gets right: editable PDF forms that speed check-in, early registration cutoffs that keep judging on track, separate halls that reduce crowding, and smart awards that celebrate more than just the top category winners. Most of all, we celebrate the real win—camaraderie.

Tommy & Ben sound the alarm about how Trump is laying the foundation for war with Venezuela—breaking down the administration's justifications, what escalation could look like, and why attacking Venezuela won't solve America's drug problem. Then, they discuss the latest negotiations between Israel and Hamas over Trump's Gaza “peace plan,” Israel's treatment of activists arrested from the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla, an update from journalist Noa Avishag Schnall, who's currently sailing to Gaza with another flotilla, and the United States' unprecedented security agreement with Qatar. Also covered: how MAGA is advocating for an El Salvador-style judicial takeover, Russia's “hybrid war” on Europe and its shadow fleet of decrepit oil tankers, and the over-the-hill rock stylings of Argentina's embattled president, Javier Milei. Finally, Tommy speaks with Michael Froman, president of the Council on Foreign Relations and former U.S. Trade Representative under Obama, about Trump's trade “strategy,” the death of the rules-based system of global commerce, and why the humble soybean has become a flashpoint in the trade wars.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
