POPULARITY
It's a classic question asked first in a novel, then in music, and often as a half-joke pop culture reference: Can you go home again? People change over time, but of course, places do, too. What we've previously experienced in our hometowns and where we grew up can feel distant for a very good reason. Time and experience changes us all, whether we like it or not. But in this episode, we're going to explore what it means to lean into this question and ask instead, “what does it feel like to be home, again?” Working through this with me is Trace and Eeva Redmond, a couple who in recent years took years of experience working in beer and returned to Eeva's home town of Petoskey, Michigan where they've opened Elder Piper, a brewery and cidery located along the shores of Little Traverse Bay on the upper portion of the state's mitten shape. As brewer, Trace brings brewing experience that includes stops at Michigan's Founders and Roak Brewing, as well as North Carolina's Highland Brewing. Eeva has worked in a collection of hospitality and communication roles in beer as well, including positions at Roak Brewing, Sierra Nevada, and Highland. Why open a brewery now, at a time when we hear about so many closing? That's where we start our conversation, but it leads us to many other ideas and reflections about what it means to start a business in a city of 6,000, especially when it's the place where you grew up. As you'll hear, community connection has been pivotal to Eeva and Trace, and their story offers something of a roadmap of what it takes to launch a new, neighborhood-focused brewery in today's market.
Dogs - who doesn't love them?...and who doesn't love these adorable canines featured in an animated film that tackles themes of propaganda, political assassination, and pet genocide? Look, as fucking weird as all of this sounds, Wes Anderson oddly makes it work in this gorgeously animated dark comedy that features quite an incredible ensemble cast from the likes of Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, Scarlett Johansson ,and far too many more to name. Another thing worth mentioning is we're drinking an amazing french toast-flavored stout from Roak Brewing called 'Devil Dog'. Highly recommended from the both of us. Also, fuck you Austin for guessing that the next podcast is on Birdman (sincerely, Alex)

Last week I was traveling for business in East Lansing, MI – but I was still able to squeeze in an interview with Quinn Sioma of ROAK Brewing Co. The atmosphere sounds a bit raucous at HopCat, but I was able to discuss 3 distinct and different ales with Quinn: Awesomesauce -an English Pale Ale with wheat, Blow Your Face Out – a Double IPA; and Live Wire, an American IPA. BTW – If you're a craft beer lover and get a chance to check out a HopCat – do it!
