Fritz Family founder Cory Buenning brewed from the mid-90's through the mid 20-teens for Wyoming craft beer pioneers Snake River, but the itch to do his own thing was strong, and after returning to Colorado after a few years in Kentucky, he leased the old Bootstrap brewery in Niwot, installed a new brewhouse and cellar, and got to work making the beers he wanted to make—a variety of primarily lager beer, brewed thoughtfully and carefully. Years later, the brewery has developed a strong following among locals, but is also a favorite hangout for the area's brewers, and you'll often find brewers from neighboring breweries at the Fritz bar for a post-shift beer. It's brewers beer, after all—easy to drink, impeccably made, and unassuming. In this episode, Buenning shares his approach to making refined lagers at a taproom scale, and along the way discusses: how cold knockouts, cold fermentation, and no diacetyl rest make better lagers brewing with an jacketed oil-heated brewhouse rather than steam-heated acidifying the mash using sauergut building body in clear beer through proteins not carbohydrates carbonating naturally via capped tank using forced fermentation tests on all lagers managing gelatinization issues with European malt through modified step mashing ingredient approaches to Pilsner, helles, and Kölsch understanding yeast timing and performance to dial in harvesting and rep itching managing head pressure with 34/70 to reduce sulfur And more.

We've dug into the podcast vault to one of our favorite shows: the story of the awesome Modernist house in the 2006 movie, The Lake House, starring Keanu Reaves and Sandra Bullock. The house stole the show, and we'll talk to the architect Nathan Crowley and the engineer, Troy Hengge.
This Sunday, we'll step into one of the most personal and emotionally charged books in all of Scripture: the book of Hosea. Hosea ministered in the northern kingdom of Israel during a time of political chaos, moral collapse, and rampant idolatry, just decades before the Assyrian invasion. What makes Hosea unique among the prophets is that God used Hosea's marriage as the message. God commanded Hosea to marry Gomer, a woman marked by unfaithfulness, and then to love her faithfully even as she repeatedly betrayed him. Hosea's life became a living illustration of God's own relationship with Israel - a steady love met with constant wandering. Through Hosea, God reveals that idolatry is not merely rule-breaking; it is a relational betrayal. Israel didn't deny God's existence; they simply didn't want to interact with Him anymore. They pursued other “lovers” for security, pleasure, and identity, while assuming God would always be there. Hosea speaks not like a detached preacher, but like a wounded husband whose heart has been broken again and again. And yet, woven through the warnings and judgment is something astonishing: God refuses to give up. His discipline is not abandonment; it is pursuit. Even after declaring, “Not My People,” God immediately promises restoration by turning judgment into hope and exile into homecoming. Perhaps the most powerful moment comes when Hosea is told to go find Gomer again. She has been used, discarded, and for sale. He buys her back. This is where Hosea's story becomes unmistakably gospel-shaped. God does not wait for His people to clean themselves up; He goes after them. He pays the price. He restores the relationship. Hosea answers a timeless question: What does God do when the people He loves keep cheating on Him? The answer is not indifference, but heartbreak, discipline, relentless pursuit, and ultimately restoration. I can't wait to open this book together and hear God's tender but urgent call: “Return to the Lord your God.”

Planting a vineyard is a major investment, and the decisions made before the first vine goes into the ground can determine long-term success or costly failure. In this episode, Fritz sits down with renowned viticulture expert Dr. Mark Greenspan to unpack the most common red flags vineyard owners and operators should watch for when planning a new planting. Drawing on more than three decades of scientific research and hands-on field experience, Dr. Greenspan explains why many vineyard problems originate long before planting day. Fritz and Dr. Greenspan also discuss the dangers of relying on assumptions or neighboring vineyard performance instead of site-specific data and professional evaluation. Listeners will learn why thorough pre-plant assessments — including soil testing, climate analysis, and thoughtful rootstock and variety selection — are essential risk management tools rather than optional steps. This episode is especially valuable for growers considering new vineyard development, replanting existing blocks, or expanding acreage. By understanding these early warning signs, listeners can make more informed decisions, avoid expensive mistakes, and set their vineyards up for sustainable productivity and profitability. In this episode, you will hear: Common red flags that signal potential vineyard failure before planting Why site-specific soil and climate data matter more than assumptions Risks of poor variety and rootstock selection The long-term cost of cutting corners during vineyard planning Practical steps to reduce risk and improve vineyard performance Follow and Review: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow the podcast and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts!

This Sunday, we'll be spending our time in the small but powerful book of Joel. Though we know very little about the prophet himself, his message could not be timelier. Joel speaks to Judah in the middle of a national catastrophe, a locust invasion so severe that it collapses the economy, disrupts worship, and brings everyday life to a standstill. Rather than rushing to solutions, Joel presses a deeper question: Why is this happening? His conviction is that God often speaks through disruption, using moments we cannot ignore to reveal what we have been trusting in and what has been quietly shaping our hearts. As we walk through chapters 1 and 2, we'll see how crisis exposes spiritual complacency. Comfort, Joel shows us, can be spiritually numbing. When life is stable, prayer becomes polite, worship becomes routine, and dependence on God becomes theoretical. But when everything is shaken, illusions of control fall away, and honest self-examination becomes possible. God's call through Joel is not merely to feel bad or perform religious acts, but to return to Him with all our hearts. “Rend your hearts, not your garments,” God says. This is an invitation to genuine repentance rooted in humility and trust in His gracious and merciful character. We'll also see that Joel's message doesn't end with judgment, but with restoration and hope. God responds to repentance with mercy, promising not only physical renewal but spiritual renewal through the outpouring of His Spirit, a promise Peter declares fulfilled at Pentecost in Acts 2. Joel then lifts our eyes to the coming Day of the Lord, when God's justice and mercy will be fully revealed, and He will be a refuge for His people. My prayer is that this Sunday helps us see disruption differently, examine where comfort may have replaced dependence, practice quick and honest repentance, and learn what it truly means to live each day empowered by the Spirit of God.
This Sunday, we'll be diving into the writings of the prophet Amos, whose very name means “burden.” Amos was an ordinary man, a herdsman and gardener, and yet God called him to deliver a message to His people. He was not part of the religious establishment, nor did he have prophetic training, yet God used him to speak truth with authority. His life reminds us that God often works through ordinary people, and that our usefulness to Him is determined not by position or status, but by faithfulness, obedience, and willingness to carry His burden. Amos prophesied during a time of prosperity and stability in Israel, yet beneath the surface, injustice, exploitation, and moral corruption were rampant. He confronts the nation with their sin, showing how they had replaced God's authority with their own. They had normalized oppression, idolatry, and exploitation. Amos exposes the heart of their rebellion: they decided for themselves what was right and wrong. Through his visions, God demonstrates both His patience and His judgment. When Amos intercedes after visions of locusts and fire, God relents. But the third vision, the plumb line, reveals the unchangeable standard of God's truth. The plumb line measures Israel against God's righteousness, showing that cultural approval, personal desire, or convenience cannot define what is right. The message for us today is just as urgent. Culture continues to reject God's plumb lines. Therefore, truth becomes relative, morality becomes personal, and alignment with God is optional. God does not adjust His standard to fit our preferences; He measures us against His Word. As Christians, we are called to honestly examine our lives, our choices, and our motivations, asking whether we are aligned with God's truth or simply following the crowd. The plumb line is not a suggestion; it is a warning. Our calling is to live lives in alignment with God's standard, to hate evil, love good, and establish justice, knowing that only by standing straight against the plumb line of God's Word can we build a life that will endure.
