Colin McDonald from Hen House Brewing and Gail Williams join Harry Duke and Herlinda Heras to talk about SF Beer Week 2023. Colin was also on Brew Ha Ha last year at this time, to talk about Hen House's annual Big Chicken release. SF Beer Week started in 2009 and ran every year except for the Covid year. It is back now, including a lot of interesting creative events and de-centralized parties. From Sonoma to Monterey counties, from the city to Livermore, there are events spread out across the East Bay, North Bay, the City, San Ramon Valley and Silicon Valley. Big Chicken Hen House's Big Chicken is produced and shipped so that it can be consumed as fresh as possible. Fog Belt is doing artisanal bacon with their beer. There is even a Beer and Cookie pairing at Monk's Kettle in San Francisco on Feb. 14. Since SF Beer Fest overlaps Valentine's Day, there seem to be a lot of chocolate pairings with beer. Hen House is making a special beer called Valentine's Day Nightmare. Visit our sponsor Victory House at Poppy Bank Epicenter online, for their latest viewing and menu options. They are sampling a Hen House Pilsner that is light and beautiful with Jasmine flower flavors, called Star Turn. It is soft, bright and crisp with a little honeysuckle sweetness. Equity and Inclusion in Brewing They also have a collaboration called Activate, with Crowns and Hops Brewing in Inglewood, a brewery that is black-owned, woman-owned and veteran-owned. Gail tells about how there was an effort to get more black-owned breweries and so they support education and investment for that purpose. They wanted to make taprooms more welcoming and broaden the customer base. The Bay Area Brewers Guild Equity and Inclusion Committee made a collaboration among brewers from 6 breweries, at Drake's in San Leandro. It is called “This Beer Creates Opportunity” and it will fund a diversity-focused endowment at UC Davis. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Click the logo to visit their website for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more info. The beer they are tasting is a Saison, named after the beer that was made for seasonal workers in France. Saison means season. It has some light flavors of black pepper and coriander. Hen House has also done Big Chicken again this year, it is their celebration of quality, freshness and hoppy beer. They like to get as much locally-sourced ingredients as possible. They have more than 180 locations where it is available, on their Instagram page. The SF Beer Week has a calendar-driven display of all the events happening in all the Bay Area locations, for the duration of Beer Week. Click the logo to visit SF Beer Week dot org.

Colin McDonald, brewmaster and co-founder of Hen House Brewing is in the studio with Herlinda Heras and Harry Duke on Brew Ha Ha today. They have Hen House's special brew Big Chicken to taste. This year Hen House has Big Chicken in cans in the tasting rooms in Petaluma and Santa Rosa, and kegs for all their other bars and restaurants. This is their big celebration beer. Hen House has some distribution in Portland. Their Portland distributor is driving up tomorrow with kegs freshly filled to deliver there. This beer has a following of people who are eager to tap these kegs as soon as they can. This is their 10th anniversary and 10th batch of Big Chicken. It is everything they learned about making hoppy beer during the year. The recipe changes every year as they learn new stuff. They are also doing some new beers with unique yeasts. They use some genetically modified yeast from Berkeley Labs, UC Berkeley's yeast lab, which produces custom strains. They bring an enzyme that releases more of the inherent flavors in the beer. There are different types of hops in this year's recipe, but with a “super tropical fermentation character” on it. Colin calls it “the best batch ever.” It is intense, fun and exciting. Herlinda says it is “extremely drinkable.” Big Chicken will be available in cans at the tasting rooms until this weekend and may or may not make it into next week. They want people to experience it as super fresh. They were still a nano-brewery when they made the first Big Chicken. Colin describes the brewing process as imperfect, and tells something he learned from Brian Hunt of Moonlight Brewing, who said that if you don't have to dump some beer out every year, “your standards just aren't high enough.” Brew Ha Ha is sponsored by the Santa Rosa branch of Yoga Six located in Coddingtown Center.

If something terrible happens and you’re unable to make your own medical decisions, who do you want to make them for you? And what kind of care do you want at the end of your life?   I’m Gina DiPietro, with Novant Health, Healthy Headlines.  Those two questions are at the center of a Novant Health program called Choices and Champions, which helps patients and care teams talk through important decisions. It encourages patients to choose a health care “Champion,” or the person who will stand in their corner when they can’t speak up for themselves, and think about other medical choices they may face in the future. End-of-life care is always top of mind for Dr. Colin McDonald, a neurohospitalist at Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center in Winston-Salem. It’s true for his young patients as well as his older ones – the seriously ill ones along with the healthy ones. He cares for critically ill stroke patients and others with neurological injuries, including head trauma.   For 28 years, Dr. McDonald has been leading these conversations. In this episode, he talks with Melody Myers about why it’s important to have your care team document your “choices” in your medical record and to choose a Champion to speak for you if you are not able to speak for yourself.   Melody So tell me about the Choices and Champions program at Novant Health and why it's important and how you've worked with it. Dr. McDonald So there are two very important things that any patient needs. And I really say that no matter how young or how old. One of them is to have a discussion with a trusted clinician, who is able to document into the medical record, what their desires and wants, what their loves and dislikes happen to be, what their life would be like if certain things happen. And we call that choices, or advance care planning. Those are really notes that aren’t process-driven. Most of the time, they're blank text that you type into a computer, but they stand-alone so people can see, in October of 2020, Mrs. Smith had this attitude. And then you go forward from that. And suppose Mrs. Smith, in December of 2020, is now diagnosed, surprisingly, and out of the blue with a very aggressive and widespread cancer. At that particular point, Mrs. Smith's goals may have changed.  So when we talk about goals and advanced care planning, it's meant to be a life story that evolves with the life and the health of the patient. So that's one part of it. And that's supposing, and that's where you're right most of the time, pre-hospitalization, that the patient is able to manifest, discuss, express what their choices are.  However, as we all know cardiopulmonary arrests happen out of the blue, stroke-like events happen out of the blue, that's why we call them strokes. And when those things happen, a patient is not typically in a place to have the conversation about what their choices are. And that's where the Champion part comes in. You always look to the patient first, if the patient is able to tell you what their desires and wants would be. But you also tell the patient, there may come a moment, God decides where you're not able to do that. What I know, because I may not be there, I'm just one of the whatever, several thousand doctors at Forsyth Medical Center/Novant Health, I may not be there at that particular moment. What you need, you need a Champion that really knows you, understands this particular conversation, and then understands, knowing what they know about you what they know about your goals and desire, they understand that in almost any circumstance, no matter how difficult, we're going to be able to figure out what you Mrs. Smith would want done in this unforeseen circumstance.  Melody So what do you tell a patient who might be reluctant to name a champion? Dr. McDonald I'll begin by saying, I'm the Champion for my mom and dad, and I have been for many, many years. And my mom, who's a registered nurse, she was the one that was reluctant years ago for me to become her Champion, because she thought it was almost too much weight. And so what I told my mom back then, and what I think a lot of champions really believe there's no greater demonstration of confidence or love, than you turning to someone that you love and trust so much, and say, “You are the keeper of my decisions when I am not able to make those decisions.” And I think when you put it in those terms, it's pretty often and I would say even more than that, most often the case that patients embrace that idea when they look at it that way.  MelodySo what do you tell a family member who doesn't want to honor the Champion named? Dr. McDonaldYep. And so let's first talk about what do you do about a Champion that's been asked, and doesn't want to become the Champion, kind of the reverse of where we're going here. What I tell them, and this is something that I had learned at the Massachusetts General years and years and years ago, we called it the curse and the blessing. And the way we described it is, the blessing is that your mom, your dad, your friend has so much confidence in what you know about this person. Let's say it's Mrs. Smith, and she has placed all the confidence in you that can be no greater blessing than that. And then you actually have to go hard Scottish on them after that and say –  here's where the curse comes in – I would be asking Mrs. Smith, if she was able to tell me … I never met Mrs. Smith, when she would have been able to tell me. You were here representing Mrs. Smith. Knowing what her wants and desires were, you can tell me all you know about her joys, her hobbies, her loves, etcetera, her fears. You can tell me all about that and I can help guide you to what I think she would want. But I need to know a lot from you. And once you explain that to most Champions, they're OK with it, they understand that it isn't their choice. They're making a choice in place of Mrs. Smith, who was unable to make that choice for herself.  And that then gets to the other point, which I really don't see arise all that often. And that is what happens if you have multiple family members, and one of them has been identified as the Champion, and then there are some other children in the mix are other friends … and they may disagree as far as direction of care? At the end of the day, the Champion, if it is ascertained that that Champion was rightfully made, meaning when the patient was in sound mind and possibly sound body — but certainly sound mind — and made that particular decision, and you ascertain the Champion understands that they're making a decision based on Mrs. Smith's wishes, then it is pretty easy to discuss with family members: Ladies and gentlemen, this is who mom, dad, whoever, chose as her Champion. This is the person we need to be guided by. And I really, over many, many years, have almost never run into conflict once you sort of let families know that this was done with a lot of foresight on the part of the patient. Melody  How does a champion or advance directive take the burden off of the family? Dr. McDonald People have very, very busy lives. And it is often the case that it is at that unforeseen moment that bad things happen to good people. When someone was totally not expecting, for instance, a stroke or a cardiopulmonary arrest to befall them. And at that moment, you're able to tell the family, however spread apart they are — and you may be doing it by Zoom conferences — there is a Champion that has been identified. That Champion is such and such. I have had extensive conversations with her. I truly, truly believe she is speaking on mom’s or dad’s or brother’s or sister’s behalf and it really does take the burden off, because a lot of times, families are unaware that mom or dad have identified a Champion. So that comes as a surprise sometimes, but you know it's working well when the families realize, ‘Oh, that's the Champion I know mom or dad would have chosen.” Melody Can you take me through one of those conversations and just provide me with some insight on what that conversation was like? Dr. McDonald Yeah, so I'll give you a I'll give you an example — I'll give you two examples. I'll give you a choice example, and then I'll also give you a Champion example.  So my favorite choice example is from… it's now because it was before the pandemic began. So it would have been probably fall of 2019, we had a 90-something incredibly active woman come to the hospital. Never sick a day in her life, had played college softball back in the 40s. Just the picture of health, and came in with a non-disabling stroke that was related to a severe blockage of one of her carotid arteries.  And we've known — we've known since 1993 — that fixing a carotid artery to prevent a bigger stroke down the road beats medicine every day of the week. Not by a little bit, but a zillion, zillion miles. And so I remember this conversation with this 95-year-old, when I knew what she needed. She had lived to 95, we know that the benefit of doing the operation will be fully realized if she happens to make it to 97. So she didn't have very far to go to really prove the benefit of the operation. And we got into this conversation. And she was very, she was very bright. and to the point. And when I was talking about the operation, she said, “But Dr. McDonald, don't you think your friends are going to be crazy when you start talking about operating on a 95-year-old?” And I said some of them will. But it isn't about the age, it is about the individual patient.  And I said, so what drives your day-to-day joy? What drives your day-to-day activities? And she said: “Dr. McDonald, you know, I was a college softball player. I love baseball. I love watching the Atlanta Braves, every single game. That's what I live for.” And I said, Well, you know that if you had this operation, you would be much more likely to do that happily over the next several years than if you didn't. And so she made the choice, which we all considered reasonable, I'll have the operation. The last time I heard from her, she sent me a note recently. She's still doing great. She was so happy the Atlanta Braves did so well, almost getting to the World Series. But that's the kind of choice when it works, when you talk about loves and hobbies and stuff like that. It wasn't about living two more years, it is what would you do over the next two years that would make you happy as far  As tough choices, and I'll give you sort of a champion choice, and that's why it's so important and I led with this a little while ago. That's why it's so important not to treat the advance care plan or the choices as just a single, inevitable moment in time. It goes back to this idea where a patient had some clear choices back in October. They get diagnosed with a very bad cancer in December. No one has had a further conversation. And now it is late January, and the patient has come in with a disabling brain injury, and you turn to the Champion and you say, what would she want done at this particular point? And this particular Champion, really struggled, because she said, “We really haven't talked about it since this diagnosis of this really bad cancer, she's still trying to process those options.” And yet, there were opportunities to talk to the patient about it, and that would have been at doctor's visits, when they began to talk about this notion of an advanced cancer. Does that change your goals? And so with that said, that's why I really impress on people, that almost every encounter that a provider has with a patient is an opportunity to add to the advance care planning or the choice story.  And with that said, everything worked out in the end, it just took a little bit longer to talk through, to really get the Champion to feel comfortable that she was speaking for the patient, as well as the patient knew anyone about what the patient would want to have done. And we came to the idea that the patient, if she was healthy, meaning no head injury and not looking to several weeks or months of rehab, not knowing what the outcome, if this was a short-lived problem, we get through it. And then she'd see if there's any therapeutic options for the cancer.  But once I explained that that isn't the outlook, that this is several months of rehab, because we're really good at keeping people alive, we're expecting she's going to survive this. Several months of rehab, only God knows where things look several months from now. And once she heard that she processed several months of that with this cancer treatment that may or may not be treatable on, on hold. Where are we at this point?  This friend — it was not a relative, it was her closest friend, she had no family — she said, now I know what she would want to do, she would want to focus on comfort and dignity. Melody So are there any misconceptions around advance directives that you find? Dr. McDonaldYeah, I think the biggest misconception is it somehow means do not treat and or do not care. And that isn't what it means at all. It means there are going to be certain treatments that make no sense because they're not in keeping with the patient's choices. It never means do not treat, because one of the most important things we as medical professionals do, is that we offercare, we offer comfort, we offer empathy, and we never stop treating with those things, no matter what limits we put on medications, machines and monitors.     Melody Is there something people are surprised to learn when you have this conversation with them? Dr. McDonald I think the most common surprise for people is them coming to the realization that they are making this choice almost as if they are channeling the patient, as opposed to what I would want to have happen to me if I was in this situation. Or more to the point, what I would want because I selfishly — and not selfish in a bad way — I selfishly love this person and I don't want to see them leave me. But those are, I think, the most surprising realizations. That once you get a champion pass that, then all is good, and they realize this isn't about them, and that's why the person that wants the choices made picked them in the first place. Because they believe the choices aren't going to be made based on the champion, they're going to be made based on the patient.   Melody So what does your end-of-life plan look like?  Dr. McDonald And so there are things that I really enjoy. I enjoy cooking, I enjoy reading, I enjoy listening to music, I enjoy exercise, I enjoy being with family. That's my architecture out there. If I were to be deprived of several of those permanently, my champion understands that that is no life that I would be feeling worth living. And we would focus on comfort and dignity. So that's what my plan looks like. And you just heard, what is it about? It's about goals, loves and desires. And once you sort of establish those goals, loves and desires, it's easy to get to the specifics. Gina DiPietro againAs Dr. McDonald explained, having these important conversations helps you keep control of your medical care in the event of a serious injury or medical problem.

Welcome to the first episode of the Bagley Wright Lecture Series on Poetry podcast. In this episode, the first of three in a series, we listen to Joshua Beckman's lecture, "The Lives of the Poems," originally given May 8, 2014 at New York University, and then hear an interview between Beckman and Colin McDonald of Seminary Coop's Open Stacks podcast, originally aired April 22, 2018. Beckman's lectures attempt to articulate and conjure for the listener the private and shared experiences one can have through reading and listening to poetry. Beckman attends to imaginative reality as well as physical artifacts, including beloved dead poets, friendship as viewed through the lens of reading, the book-object, and his own writing process as seen through ‘the lives of the poems.' Visit us at our website, www.bagleywrightlectures.org, for more information about Bagley Wright lecturers, as well as links to supplementary materials on each lecturer's archive page, including selected writings. Thank you to New York University's Creative Writing Program for partnering with the Series for this event, to Seminary Coop and the Open Stacks podcast for permission to rebroadcast this interview, and to you for listening. Joshua Beckman's double-book set of collected BWLS lectures, Three Talks and The Lives of the Poems (Wave Books, 2018) is here.
