Podcast appearances and mentions of saint archer

Mikey Taylor's journey from professional skateboarder to successful entrepreneur and investor showcases his adaptability, passion, and determination. Initially driven by the thrill of skateboarding, Taylor discovered his business acumen through his involvement in the design and marketing of his own signature shoe. His transition into entrepreneurship was marked by the establishment and eventual sale of Saint Archer brewery, followed by the founding of Commune Capital, focusing on real estate investment. Taylor emphasizes the importance of testing the market before fully investing in a business idea, advocating for resilience, conflict resolution, and interpersonal skills as essential for success. His vision extends beyond financial achievements, aiming for a legacy through his children and contributing to the community by addressing California's housing crisis.

Serial entrepreneur and former professional skateboarder, Mikey Taylor is the President and Managing Principal of Commune Capital, a private equity firm that invests in commercial real estate. After a successful 14 year skateboarding career, Mikey began the transition into entrepreneurship and business building, when he recognized an opportunity in the emerging craft beer industry. He utilized his marketing experience from skateboarding to co-found Saint Archer Brewery. In part 1 of their interview, Rich and Mikey discuss what it was like growing up skateboarding and going pro, his experience starting Saint Archer Brewing, and some key takeaways on building a successful business. Mikey also shares a hilarious story of a recent viral video with 2 skateboarders bringing their concerns to him at a City Council Meeting. Connect with Mikey on Instagram: @mikeytaylor--Connect with Rich on Instagram: @rich_somersInterested in investing with Somers Capital?

In today's episode, Jayson is joined by Mikey Taylor. Mikey Taylor is a former professional skateboarder who now spends his time investing in real estate across the United States at Commune Capital. He is also now the city council member of Thousand Oaks in California. His path into real estate started in the skate parks. When he was 16, his parents told him to get a job. He learned how to get sponsors to pay for his travel to skate competitions around the world and he was starting to earn an income. His mother introduced him to someone to help him build a financial plan. After his skating career was coming to a close, he and some friends constructed a successful craft brewery, Saint Archer, which they sold to MillerCoors in 2015. He then invested in some storage units and multifamily properties in what became Commune Capital. His success is built on his skills of courage, resilience, engagement, the ability to spot talent, and the magic of following up. --- HIGHLIGHTS: Going from skateboarding to owning a brewery with friends to real estate investing, to now being a city council member How he used skateboarding as leverage for all his businesses Dealing with different scales of haters Investing in Real Estate --- Mikey Taylors' Social Media Links Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikeytaylor/  Commune Capital: https://communecapital.com/invest/ --- OWN YOUR POWER HARD-COPY AND SOFT-COPY IS OUT NOW!

In this episode, we have Josh Landan joining us today. He is the founder of Saint Archer, a craft brewery sold in 2015, and he is the founder of Ashland Hard Seltzer. Josh started his career telling stories from behind the lens – filming, directing, writing, and producing films and documentaries featuring some of the world's top surfers, snowboarders, and skateboarders. Today, he shares his journey on building his business without any business knowledge and background!   Why should we listen to you? [1:17] If you're a sports fan, you'd probably enjoy talking sports, which is what I would probably bring up. The last thing you'd get for me is business talk. [4:23] I don't want the attention. Just like an athlete, you don't get to the top level, not needing recognition to compete at the highest level and be the best. I'd be lying if I said that the ego wasn't there, and I wasn't trying to get approval in some way. I have those insecurities as everybody does, and I went the other way. I didn't want to go anywhere and didn't want to go out, and if anything, I got more introverted. Wanting to Win [8:18] When you come from doing it yourself, and you're at the speed in which you're most comfortable, then you go into that corporate structure, you might want to win, but the speed isn't there. You're fine with things taking a long time, whereas that wasn't conducive to my personality. Entrepreneur vs. Business Owner [9:26] There's a big difference between employees, business owners, and entrepreneurs. Entrepreneur to me means that you have this burning desire to continue to create from scratch. I didn't know that about myself until I put myself through that. I see people calling themselves entrepreneurs all the time, but they only own a small store or business. But they are a business owner. So there is a big difference. Learning Experiences  [14:27] The way I've handled certain situations and looking back, I probably could have dealt with that better. Maybe firing certain people or leaving businesses and the way things are handled and at the moment is always more emotional. Hopefully, when you look back, you learn from that, and the next time, you do it better. I just would have maybe handled it with more maturity and professionalism in some cases. Building a Business [15:43] I just had the idea to do a beer brand. But I knew nothing about beer, and I didn't even know what a capital raise was. I had no idea about starting a business and somehow raised $3 million, and moved my family to San Diego, and we built a 20,000 square foot brewery. But right before that, I fired three people that weren't the right fit for me. I would never apologize for that because that was the right thing to do. You can't beat yourself up for your experiences. You can beat yourself up if you do these things repeatedly, and you never learn from them. [17:35] The biggest key is being self-aware. Many people have a hard time with being self-aware. I'll be the first to tell you I was not passionate about beer. I was more passionate about getting some approval than I never got when I was young. I just took it to the craziest ridiculous level of building these multimillion-dollar businesses when that's going overboard. Luckily, the approval was probably the motivating factor that made me do things. I fell in love with building brands. So that worked out. I think where it's scary is when you're doing something for approval, then you get it. Work in Progress [25:03] I'm a work in progress like everyone else. What I'm looking for now is more so contentment, and I want to win to the highest level at all times by any means necessary. You can separate that from your personal life. The reality with Managing a Business [28:10] You have people's money on the line, and you have people's families that are depending on you that work for you. You have all these things and like you have to look at them. It's not all rainbows and unicorns, and they make it look like on these magazines or podcasts. I can think of 10 business owners from the top of my head that are on their third marriage and are completely miserable and have no relationship with their kids. I didn't want to be that man. What People see as Amazing [30:21] You might show up at work, and you can leave everything at the door. If your home life is a tornado, that's hard to focus on. I can't focus on the people that I care about most. But society celebrates the asshole. I would turn on this show for the investors where they want you to be, a hard-charging prick who doesn't care about anything wants to win. It's funny that that's the person they see as amazing. [33:30] I would rather be more myself that is more compassionate and warm, and I can be sympathetic to what everybody else wants to write. I've found on the all the way around, that's how you get the best out of people. That's how you get the best out of the staff. If you're not great at many things, you hire the best. If they want to be around you and believe in you, you'll build a successful business. But if you think you can do it all and you will be a hard-charging egomaniac, the chances are that you're not going to do anything special. Believing in yourself [39:06] When I believe in something and believe in what I'm doing, I can be convincing. As you're successful, it gets easier. It's not like that first 3 million every time. But that first 3 million was the authenticity of what I was saying, and people could feel the passion of what I was doing. If you think about it, they're investing $3 million in a guy that knows nothing about beers and doesn't know anybody in the beer business. But I think it conveyed my vision and passion for building a great craft beer brand. The Deep End [40:13] People start businesses, and they want to keep doing this on the side, and they want to do this until this starts happening. They want to play it safe. But, if you're really that passionate and you go all in, there is no escape hatch, and there is no plan B. You are in the deep end. Confidence in Building a Business [41:27] It's scary. But it wasn't scary for me because I knew I would be successful. There was no doubt in my mind, not an ounce or a shred of doubt. I know, in my heart, how I was then. My wife felt the same way. There was no doubt in her mind that I would be successful. She's probably the only one or my mom that ever just believed in me. How to Become Successful in Business [44:09] In my field of alcohol and building these brands, it's really about innovation. In today's short attention span society, you constantly need to keep your brand fresh. That's why many big brands are dying because these smaller brands gravitate towards independent authenticity. But then you constantly need to evolve, and you continuously need to innovate. What Promise did God make to the world when He created you? [48:52] I think what God would say is I'm a spiritual guy. I will give you this work in progress. Stick with him because he's going to figure it out. And when he figures it out, it'll be special. But stick with it because it might take a minute. The heart and the humility are in there. So bear with it and have some patience. Key Quotes [8:17 – 8:44] “When you come from doing it yourself, and you're at the speed in which you're most comfortable, which for me is foot on the gas, and then you go into that corporate structure, you might want to win, but the speed isn't there. You are fine with taking a long time, but that wasn't conducive to my personality.” [16:47 – 16:59] “You can't beat yourself up for your experiences. You can beat yourself up if you do these things repeatedly, and you never learn from them.”   Learn more about Josh Landan on: Website: https://www.ashlandhardseltzer.com/home Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshlandan_/    

This episode is brought to you by Yotpo.   The goal of Wings & Arrow is to build an LLC brand house worth of brands that are the premier "beyond beer" beverage categories in the country, says Josh Landan, founder of the holding company.   It's been an unusual journey, says Josh, who insists he's not a brewer and knows nothing about beer. Instead, his career was filming documentaries specializing in making surf films.   Josh says that developing Saint Archer as a brand helped him develop into a leader who wasn't motivated by money, Josh says.   "You don't know if you're motivated by the money until you have the money, right?" Josh says. "If you want to keep going and creating and building new businesses, well, then you're you're an entrepreneur."   In that same regard, Josh says he doesn't believe in the concept of work-life balance. "You want to tell everyone you're an entrepreneur? This never turns off," Josh says. "That's just what it takes. ... I don't need a work-life balance."   In Part 1, Josh talks about:   * Gratitude toward his mother and wife for their support and encouragement. * The "craziness" of creating separate businesses, capital raises, and employees for his different brands. * Creating a group of brands in the alcohol business is relatively uncommon. * How becoming a part of the tight-knit community of surfing and skating industries gave him the confidence to tackle the beverage business. * How Saint Archer developed his leadership skills. * His feelings on "work-life balance" and how it works for entrepreneurs. * His opinion on the difference between an employee, a business owner, and an entrepreneur.   Join Ramon Vela and Josh Landan as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on Wings & Arrow, visit: https://www.wingsandarrowllc.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

This episode is brought to you by Yotpo.   When Josh Landan, founder of holding company Wings & Arrow, began looking at possible new beverages in the alcohol space, he wanted to put his own spin on things.   "I'm kind of thinking about why I should just do my own that I can be excited about and get everybody else excited about," he says. "Wow, can I make this product better? How can I make it taste different? And how could I position our brand to have a little bit more authenticity and feeling behind it?"   Authenticity, indeed, along with personal ownership, is a critical part of Josh's strategy.   "I still do the Instagram. And I speak about our products and interact with folks like it's me ..." he says. "It's the only real marketing that we do, and you know, I want people to hear it in my voice."   Wings & Arrow is the holding company for Ashland Seltzer and Villager Spirits. Other brands are coming soon, Josh says, as the company tries to hit all the "beyond beer" categories in the United States.   "Most people never push themselves into the deep end ... it's a scary deal," Josh says. "But that's part of the reason I think that's probably the biggest reason why I was able to raise $3 million for Saint Archer right away ... People believe in that passion, and they trust it."   In Part 2, Josh talks about:   * The influence locally crafted beer had on his business decisions. * The decision to handle marketing himself, so it sounds authentic. * His desire to find a cleaner version of competing hard seltzers, which Josh believes have a particular aftertaste. * The need for a large staff of alcohol business veterans to make progress. * How the infrastructure is in place for new brands - the distributors and retailers are all in place. * How people's trust in his vision fueled investments. * There's no formula for product development. It's a matter of customer connection, price point, and finding something different than everything else out there.   Join Ramon Vela and Josh Landan as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on Wings & Arrow, visit: https://www.wingsandarrowllc.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

Atiim “Tee” Smith is now one of the promising young cooks at one of the city's better restaurants, Cucina Enoteca. He started his kitchen career a few years ago at Water Grill, also worked at Jake's Del Mar. It's quite a positive development because, in 2014, he was facing 64 years to life in prison. Smith turned his own life around, a success of his own design. But he had some help from one of the more inspiring organizations in San Diego—Kitchens for Good. KFG is a nonprofit that essentially provides a free culinary school for people who need a second shot for a variety of reasons. Their apprenticeship program offers technical skills, some life coaching, career counseling, a network of support. Their “Hunger Relief” program prepares over 100,000 healthy-side meals every year to help San Diego families, seniors, and anyone facing food insecurity. Both Tee Smith and KFG director of programs Dennis Crosby join us on this episode of “Happy Half Hour” to talk about Tee's personal evolution and how Kitchens for Good has managed to make an impact. The segment is just in time for the opening of their new store in Pacific Beach. There, they sell top of the line kitchenware that's already been cooked with but lightly used, so it's affordable for cooks on a budget. In “Hot Plates,” we talk about the pop-up LEGO bar coming to San Diego for a few days only (you can book your tickets here). The space in North Park where the beloved Tiger! Tiger! Recently closed is getting a new location for Sushi 2. Verbena Kitchen in North Park is putting on a special dinner as a fundraiser for neighbors who had a devastating fire. The team behind Kettner Exchange and Camino Riviera and Grass Skirt—which includes damn good chef Brian Redzikowski and top bar man Eric Johnson—is bringing a new 19th century pirate bar (OK, it's just old-school nautical but in our book that means pirates) with a gin focus.

Samples and demos at https://therealvoice.com Some big changes in beer - Salt Lake City's Uinta Brewing has been purchased by a joint venture that combines importer/sales and marketing company US Beverage with Colorado-based private investment firm FC Crestone. And Molson Coors Beverage Company announced it will sell two brick-and-mortar locations that formerly housed San Diego's Saint Archer Brewing Company to Ballast Point owners Kings & Convicts Brewing Company, which says it will keep current staff and designate the Miramar, California facility as the new operating headquarters for Kings & Convicts. Unity has been on a decline since 2017 and Saint Archer's sales had been growing rapidly, until last year… https://www.goodbeerhunting.com/sightlines/2022/1/10/owners-shed-saint-archer-uinta-amid-impatience-with-slow-craft-market White Oak is the go to wood for barrels, unfortunately it looks like the supply is being cut and processed faster than the trees can be grown to replenish the wood. Thankfully The White Oak Initiative has a collection of partners from academic, government and the private sector working to increase the sustainability long term. The White Oak industry is worth a reported $8.6 Billion in Kentucky alone - and it is used for furniture and flooring as well. https://www.foodandwine.com/news/american-white-oak-wine-whiskey-cask-sustainability And a story with a local flair - to me - in Charlotte (not Charlotte) Vermont malts are being roasted and many New England breweries are reaping the benefits of fresh and local malts. Vermont Malthouse has been putting out about 45 tons of malt per month and is making upgrades that would up that potential output to 75 tons per week. Eventually, they expect they could handle 150 tons a week. As they're trying to use all Vermont grown grains - that means they'll need about 2,000 acres to support that. It's good news for a state that's been losing dairy farmland.

On the 12th episode of the Athletes Unplugged podcast hosted by D'Qwell Jackson we welcome on New Friend, Skateboarding Legend, Businessman and President of Commune Capital Mikey Taylor. Mikey Skated for almost 2 decades as a Pro while also launching a super successful brewing company called Saint Archer. Now you can find Mikey on IG and TIK TOK (@Mikeytaylor) educating you about finance and investing in incredibly relatable ways all while heading up The Venture Capital firm Commune Capital as its President.

Paul Verdu is the vice president and head of Tenth and Blake, which is the craft focused arm of its parent company, Molson Coors. Under this umbrella, Coors, then later MillerCoors, and now MolsonCoors, have each sought to launch, develop, and promote flavorful beers. Its portfolio has shifted over the years, once including Blue Moon until it outgrew the group and moved onto the bigger leagues. It has also been an active buyer of craft brands. As it stands today, Tenth and Blake includes the Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company, Saint Archer, Terrapin, Hop Valley, Revolver, AC Golden, as well as relative newcomers Atwater and TRU Colors. It also houses a host of imported brands, including the much beloved Pilsner Urquell. We talk a lot about craft beer on this podcast but we rarely delve into the world of big beer. Today we're fortunate to speak with Paul Verdu, whose career in the beer business has taken him around the world and offered him a rare view of both the craft and big beer spheres. He's long worked in the CPG space, originally selling bug killers and air fresheners before moving on to work for Miller. We go through his background and what got him into the beer industry, the pains of the failed launch of Saint Archer's Gold in the face of a pandemic, and Tenth and Blake's intriguing investment into a brewery that employs active gang members in an attempt to quell gang violence. We also talk about my favorite subject, pilsner, discussing the future of Pilsner Urquell in the US, and why Barmen Pils is secretly one of the best lagers in the states.For more information on the Beer Edge Podcast, follow us on Twitter @thebeeredge.

Ep #248 - This week on The Driven Entrepreneur podcast, I sit down with Josh Landan, a craft brewing entrepreneur who recently founded Ashland Hard Seltzer following a nine-figure exit from Saint Archer Brewing Company.  Josh co-founded Saint Archer in 2013 and sold the company to Coors in 2015. Before entering the craft brewing space, Josh Landan started his career as a storyteller working behind the lens. He filmed, directed, wrote and produced films and documentaries featuring some of the world's top surfers, snowboards and skateboarders. His passion for bringing his athlete friends' stories to life inspired him to later bring the story of craft brewing to life through launching Saint Archer Brewing Co. and later both Harland Brewing Co. and Ashland Hard Seltzer.  Being a trend spotter, Josh recognized that his friends were developing a taste for hard seltzer and saw an opportunity for create something different. He wanted to tell a new story and Ashland Hard Seltzer became his conduit. The story of Ashland is one where its products are brewed to bring people together. It unites people from all backgrounds and various walks of life, so they can now share moments and create stories as one. As Josh says, "Moments are fleeting. Stories live forever." In this podcast interview, Josh and I discuss his initial transition from filmmaking to craft beer, raising $3M in capital with zero experience in the industry or with fund raising and his recent transition from beer to seltzer. Josh describes how the growing health consciousness in America has helped expand the seltzer market and how he's leveraged this trend to quickly grow this new venture. It's a powerful entrepreneurial success story that you simply won't want to miss.   Learn More About Josh Landan's Company, Ashland Hard Seltzer:   Visit the Ashland Hard Seltzer Website: https://www.ashlandhardseltzer.com/     Follow Josh Landan and Ashland Hard Seltzer on Social Media:   Follow Ashland Hard Seltzer on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/ashlandhardseltzer/   Follow Josh Landan on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/joshlandan_/     Whether you are new to 'The Driven Entrepreneur' podcast or a recurring fan, please help out by rating, reviewing and subscribing to the show on Apple Podcasts or wherever you prefer to listen.

Episode #57: Meet Josh Landan, the Founder and CEO of Ashland Seltzer, your new favorite hard seltzer. Josh shares his journey from filmmaker to making craft beer and why it's not about "selling to Coors," it's about the experiences that get you there. He chats with us about how the fear of "what if?" drives him to DO and starting the process of raising capital, having no idea what a "capital raise" was. Josh gets real, sharing the hard truth about entrepreneurship, mental health and the need for approval. We chat about the difference between a business owner and an entrepreneur and that feeling when not doing "it" is NOT an option. Plus, he shares his hilarious "I was right" moment after selling Saint Archer to Coors!  To follow Ashland Seltzer on Insta click HERE To learn more about Ashland Seltzer click HERE To follow Taylor Grewe on Insta click HERE To follow Taylor Grewe on TIK TOK click HERE To follow Jordan Grewe on Insta click HERE To follow Unreasonable Enthusiasm click HERE

Like a lot of kids in California, Taylor Knox wanted to be a pro surfer at an early age.  Unlike a lot of kids, Taylor had a back condition that would require 7 hours of surgery and 6 months in a full body cast...at age 15. While he lost time, he was still hell bent on becoming a pro surfer and his classmates thought he was crazy.  Fast forward to today, Taylor has had a legendary career that spans decades.  We talk about life, surfing, the momentum generation and a lot more on the podcast.

Season 3, Episode 32 – This week, we’re drinking a brewer’s dozen of pilsner and ranking them, like you do. Another 4B Showdown coming at you, this time it’s the Pilsner Showdown 2.0. You might be asking yourself – what happened to the pilsner showdown 1.0? Well we might be asking you to mind your own god damned business. We might also be overcompensating for the fact that we recorded an entire 16 beer showdown that we got so mixed up on which beer number we were on that it ended up incomprehensible. So we did it again. We did it bigger. We did it better. We did it stronger. 16 beers? Not for our fans. We did 24 god damned beers. In a row. And we ranked them. Not in a row. Appropriately for their deliciousness. Or, skunkiness.  The Pilsner Showdown On that note, we need to preface this by saying that some of the beers in our showdown obviously suffered from age and packaging woes. While we wish this wasn’t the case, it’s also the realistic experience of buying these beers on the shelf. So get your shit together, breweries with green bottles. Especially if you don’t put dates on your bottles.  #24 Warsteiner – Warsteiner Premium Verum / German Pilsener Average Score: 36.00 Warsteiner – Warsteiner Premium Verum / German Pilsener Of all the German beers in the mix, Warsteiner fared the worst. In fact, it fared the worst of the whole showdown. The nose immediately put everyone off. Gym sock, fusel….none of the aroma notes have won anyone over. Drinking it, we were equally nonplussed. Flavor notes included such illustrious comments as “potting soil”. Being the off flavor patient zero for a funk we’d never experienced before led to incredibly low marks, putting Warsteiner Pils in last place.  #23 Plzeňský Prazdroj – Pilsner Urquell Average Score: 48.00 Plzeňský Prazdroj – Pilsner Urquell A reference pilsner entered the showdown, and thankfully wasn’t in a green bottle. We thought it looked great, like a bar of GOLD!! Smelling it, we caught diacytel. While that’s to style when it’s “restrained” we thought it was not restrained at all and it really put us off the beer. Matt successfully nailed it and called the beer, but the off flavors put the whole group off enough to rank it one of the lowest in the showdown.  #22 Trumer – Trumer Pils Average Score: 54.50 Trumer – Trumer Pils Trumer Pils is a heavy hitter in CA, but failed to impress us with a chill haze and a lack of head retention. At the aroma section of the review, Jason was taken aback by the skunky aroma. As a group we’ve had this beer and enjoyed it before (including in Pilsner show 1.0) but ultimately the skunky conditions did it in. This beer was probably a victim of being in a green bottle.  #21 North Coast Brewing Company – Scrimshaw Pilsner Average Score: 60.00 North Coast Brewing Company – Scrimshaw Pilsner An old school stalwart of the California craft beer scene enters the fray. This one had great clarity, but not great head retention. The color was dark – we thought it might be one of the Czech beers because it was so dark. The nose let out notes of dog, and leather – not what we wanted out of a pilsner. Tasting it, we got ATHP, mousiness, and John thought it wasn’t even a pilsner at all. While we thought the beer was OK, the off flavors and lack of pilsner characteristics led us to call it a non-buy and put it near the bottom of the field.  #20 Speakeasy Ales & Lagers – Pop Gun Pilsner Average Score: 61.75 Speakeasy Ales & Lagers – Pop Gun Pilsner A newcomer to the pils scene, Speakeasy out of San Francisco has recently started canning their Pop Gun Pils. The beer had a nice head, but the appearance was best described as “dishwater”. The nose divided the group – Jason got soap, Greg got diacytel, and John thought it smelled pretty good! But drinking it we all caught on off flavor we didn’t like. The mouthfeel was off, the bitterness was muted, the malt character was too high and overall we didn’t find it to be a great pils.  #19 Pivovary Staropramen – Staropramen Premium / Ležák Average Score: 62.00 Pivovary Staropramen – Staropramen Premium In a showdown of similar beers, Staropramen makes itself known. It’s noticably darker and maltier than the rest, bordering on a Vienna Lager or a Marzen. While we mostly liked the beer, it’s breaking from the pilsner style combined with being sort of ho hum and not hitting the main pilsner notes, led us to give it lower marks than some of the competition in this style showdown.  #18 Budějovický Budvar – Budweiser Budvar B:ORIGINAL / Czechvar B:ORIGINAL Average Score: 63.25 Budějovický Budvar – Budweiser Budvar B:ORIGINAL / Czechvar B:ORIGINAL The famous Czechvar, which is the “real” Budweiser that you can only get in the Czech Republic! This one impressed with clarity, but had a thin head that didn’t linger. The nose could only described as “That sweet skunky stuff” which cost the beer points. Drinking it, it had remnants of a good beer but faltered under massive levels of skunk. Another victim of the green bottle curse.  #17 König Brauerei – König Pilsener Average Score: 64.25 König Brauerei – König Pilsener Narrowly edging out the Czechvar is König Pilsner. König impressed with clarity, but the head and retention left a bit to be desired. There was something funky in the nose – Jason says skunk and Matt says DMS, but we all agree it’s not ideal. It drank well, but the off aroma and some wonkiness in the flavor department led it to low marks overall.  #16 Bitburger Braugruppe – Bitburger Premium Pils / Premium Beer Average Score: 69.00 Bitburger Braugruppe – Bitburger Premium Pils / Premium Beer In the Pils Showdown 1.0, Bitburger actually beat the whole field of 16. This pour wowed the group with it’s chandelier-like clarity, but the nose threw Greg off, who caught notes of DMS and old milk. Jason thought it was clean but a bit bland. John caught a weird taste to it. We all declared this Bitburger can as middle of the road or worse, and it finished a bit below the middle of the field.  #15 Krombacher Gruppe – Krombacher Pils Average Score: 73.75 Krombacher Gruppe – Krombacher Pils Krombacher wowed with it’s clarity. The nose, however gave off seaweed and umami notes. When we drank it, it didn’t really wow us in any way at all. We thought it lacked some of the hop presence that makes a true pilsner, and even compared it more towards and American light lager than the normal pilsner profile we expect. While this beer was clean overall, we didn’t find enough of the pilsner characteristics we were expecting to propel it to greatness.  #14 Avery Brewing Co. – Joe’s Premium American Pilsner Average Score: 74.50 Avery Brewing Co. – Joe’s Premium American Pilsner A whopping .75 points ahead of Krombacher is Avery with Joe’s Pils. While certainly our most Mafia looking can, this beer immediately threw everyone off with how many chunky floaties where flowing around in it. We spent a while trying to figure out why this beer looked more like a lava lamp than a pils. We thought it was citrusy, and got a big American hop presence out of it. We enjoyed it, but thought it was more along the lines of a pale ale or a session lager. Matt thought it had a pilsnery malt profile, but overall the group thought it was out of style pretty significantly and it hurt it in the overall rankings.  #13 Lagunitas Brewing Company – Pils Average Score: 75.50 Lagunitas Brewing Company – Pils An oft overlooked shelf beer in CA, this one came out and impressed the gang with it’s clarity and the memory foam mesa hanging out on the top. The aroma left a bit for us to be desired, but had a good solid hop presence on the back that salvaged the lack of aroma. All around a good beer but it lost points for being too bitter.  #12 Saint Archer Brewing Company – Hoppy Pilsner Average Score: 79.25 Saint Archer Brewing Company – Hoppy Pilsner Jumping ahead of Lagunitas by several points, Saint Archer’s Hoppy Pilsner (formerly Girl Skateboard Pilsner). This one came out so cloudy that we were wiping the glass to make sure it wasn’t just fogged up. The aroma had different things to everyone….citrus to Jason and Matt, sulfery farts to Greg. Jason didn’t like the lemony flavor, but John enjoyed the biscuity cracker malt character. We liked it overall, but it lost points on appearance and ended squarely middle of the pack.  TIED FOR #10 Crux Fermentation Project – Crux Pilz Average Score: 83.25 Crux Fermentation Project – Crux Pilz Crux obviously didn’t place a high priority on the appearance of the beer, invoking thoughts of an unfiltered Kellerbeir moreso than a pils. We caught a big American hop presence out of it, but we liked it overall. Greg thought it had a pilsner backbone, but John thought it was very bitter. While we really liked this beer, we thought about how you’d feel if you got that ordering a pilsner and it went down a few pegs. Despite these handicaps, Crux finished in the top half of the field and tied with… TIED FOR #10 Oskar Blues Brewery – Mama’s Little Yella Pils Average Score: 83.25 Oskar Blues Brewery – Mama’s Little Yella Pils Out of the gate, Matt said this beer looked like shit. And he’ll fight anyone who disagrees. The group was split on the nose, some of us finding it muted and some of us liking the nose a lot. On drinking it, we all thought it was a solid example. We liked it overall (especially John) but losing points for appearance and aroma ended up placing Oskar Blues lower than it could have been.  #9 Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. – Nooner Pilsner Average Score: 83.75 Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. – Nooner Pilsner Edging out the #10 tie buy just half a point, the seasonal standby from one of America’s most respected craft breweries. Sierra Nevada has suffered a bit in our past showdowns. Nooner didn’t come in as a world beater, but in this strong field of pilsners, Nooner made a very respectable showing for itself at #9. The nose wasn’t huge, but the flavor had a very clean, grassy note that got solid marks from the group.  #8 Arrogant Brewing (Stone Brewing Co.) – Who You Callin’ Wussie Average Score: 84.50 Arrogant Brewing (Stone Brewing Co.) – Who You Callin’ Wussie Not surprisingly for Stone, the beer impressed for clarity and had nice head retention. Also not surprisingly for Stone, we immediately caught a huge hop profile out of this beer. Overall the group liked this beer quite a bit, and dinged it for being way overhopped for the style. Matt even went farther to say that it was way out of style, and John considered going full Barry Bonds and asterisking it. But our love of this beer propelled it up to #8 despite being handicapped by all of our minuses for being out of style. Leave it to Stone to make a beer so aggressively out of style that it places in the top 1/3 on pure bravado.  #7 Left Hand Brewing Company – Polestar Pilsner Average Score: 86.00 Left Hand Brewing Company – Polestar Pilsner This beer had a good head and solid lacing in the glass. The nose was clean, with small hints of herbs and mint. Jason thought this was a clear LiterDrinken beer. Greg and John rated it the highest, with Nagel wishing the hops were dialed in a bit more. Overall, the 4B crew thought this was a very solid pils and it scored well enough to place it at lucky number 7 and a full point and a half ahead of Stone’s egregiously out of style example.  #6 Pizza Port Brewing Co. – Pick Six Pilsner Average Score: 86.25 Pizza Port Brewing Co. – Pick Six Pilsner Pizza Port makes its first appearance in a 4B showdown. The beer had a nice fluffy head but wasn’t as clear as some of the other more traditional examples. The nose read as fruity and tropical. The group agreed that this one was over the top on American hops, breaking from the mold of what you’d expect on a traditional pilsner. Hophead Jason thought it was a solid example despite (or because of) it’s overuse of American hops and the group in general liked it well enough to propel it near the top of the field and just .25 points higher than the strong showing from Left Hand.  #5 Coronado Brewing Company – Seacoast Pilsner Average Score: 87.00 Coronado Brewing Company – Seacoast Pilsner This was a bit of a wild card in our showdown, suggested by the beer store and thrown in to even the numbers out. Despite this inauspicious beginning, the beer ended up faring very well in this crowded field. The appearance failed to impress – it wasn’t nearly as clear as the other beers, and didn’t have much of a head at all. On the flavor side, this beer finished clean and brought smiles to the faces of all of the gang. It lost points for looks but got really high marks from everyone except Greg in the flavor department. Greg thought it was soft, and safe. Despite his reservations, Coronado jets into the top 5 with a solid pilsner, even if it’s only .75 points ahead of Pizza Port.  #4 Firestone Walker Brewing Company – Pivo Pils Average Score: 90.50 Firestone Walker Brewing Company – Pivo Pils Firestone is a time tested heavy hitter (and often winner) in 4B showdowns. Going in, we all expected Pivo to perform well and it did not disappoint. This beer had all of the visuals we wanted in a pils, and we immediately noticed the big American hop character. Jason thought that it managed to take the American hop flavor but still maintan the essence of a pilsner, while Matt thought it was bordering on an IPL. Ultimately, the beer got high marks, suffering only for not being quite traditional but still wowing all of the 4Bs enough to get a fourth place finish.  #3 Victory Brewing Company – Prima Pils Average Score: 93.25 Victory Brewing Company – Prima Pils Prima Pils was a looker, and despite having had a lot of beer before, we all showed how thirsty we were when we admired this beauty of a pils. Jason’s Darth Vader smells aside, the group thought this beer was exactly where we wanted a pils to be. The words “reference pils” were thrown around liberally. Greg thought it lacked mouthfeel a bit, but overall Prima finished incredibly strong in the field. This beer is often mentioned as a reference for the style (including the BJCP) and it proved it’s providence here with a very high mark.  #2 Sudwerk Brewing Co. – Northern Pilsner Average Score: 96.25 Sudwerk Brewing Co. – Northern Pilsner The last beer we tasted on a long day was certainly not the least. Sudwerk came out with brilliant clarity, and a nice half finger of head retention. On the nose we caught herbal notes and a bit of oyster cracker maltiness. Jason was impressed by how clean and not aggressive the beer was. But most importantly, we all thought it was really damn good. Greg thought it was a little bit too bitter being the only thing keeping it from perfect in his mind. The tiny reservation from Greg perhaps costing it that all important half point, Sudwerk still catapulted to #2 in our field.  #1 Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan – Weihenstephaner Pils Average Score: 96.75 Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan – Weihenstephaner Pils Edging out the #2 beer by only half a point, the world’s oldest brewery comes in with their example of one of the world’s most popular styles. While the head on the beer was pretty mild, this wowed with it’s glowing clarity. The nose also impressed, biscuity, herbal, minty, eucalyptus…and the flavor followed exactly where the nose was leading us. It tasted exactly what we’d expect a pilsner to taste like, and hit all of the right notes expertly. That’s what almost a millenia of experience can do for a brewery! Breaking far ahead of the field of other European pilsners, Weihenstephaner wowed the group (including a perfect 100 from Greg) for the #1 spot!  The Rankings and Scores So many breweries are making pilsner that this showdown can in no way be considered a definitive list, nor is it an end all, be all ranking. We could have a pilsner showdown once a month for a year and still not even scratch the surface of all the available pilsner out there. We encourage you to try this with a group of your friends and some pilsner that’s local to you! We say this after every showdown, but it really is fun, and it’s a great way to learn about a specific style of beer. BREW THE SHIT OUT OF IT.

This episode of the Skate To Create skateboard podcast we sat down with pro skateboarder and entrepreneur Mikey Taylor. Founded alongside Australian surfer Josh Kerr and pro skater Paul Rodriguez, the Saint Archer Brewing Co was born. Inspiration “Don’t get wrapped up in the industry, and trying to get sponsored… Do it for the love of skating” “At the end of the day, you just have to GO FOR IT!” Host: James and Daniel Manning - www.royaldecadesign.com/podcast Guest: Mikey Taylor - www.mikeytaylor.com/ Facebook - http://on.fb.me/133Y0w2 Instagram - @mikeytaylor1 Twitter - @mikey_tay1or Saint Archer Brewery - www.saintarcherbrewery.com/ Flying Strangers - www.flyingstrangers.com/ Shout out’s: Paul Rodriguez - www.prod84.com/ Heath Brinkley - @heathmoe Sponsors: DC Shoes - http://bit.ly/1zbcg2Z Thunder Trucks - http://bit.ly/1BMaebz Glassy - http://bit.ly/1IQ9V1m Bravo Backpacks, Mob Griptape, Bones Bearings

Season 1, Episode 21 - This week on the show, we’re all up in the 2014 Great American Beer Festival. The Great American Beer Festival is America’s largest beer festival, and is held once a year in Denver, Colorado. Greg and John were up there for the festivities this year, and needless to say, they were not dissapointed. On the show this week, we’ll be drinking three award-winning beers from three southern California breweries who all won medals this year at GABF for the first time. GABF 2014 Award-winning SoCal Breweries We start the show with Saint Archer Brewing Co.‘s White Ale. The beer took home a gold at GABF this year, and it’s easy to see why–this beer is delicious. This light, clean, and dry witbier bursts with that signature witbier yeast aroma, and is backed up by a refreshing burst of citrus flavor. Saint Archer is a relatively new brewery out of San Diego, California, and they came running out of the gate with some truly great beers. Seeing them win at GABF was no surprise.  Next up is Rocco Red from Bootlegger’s Brewery out of Fullerton, California. This beer, along with their Galaxian Barleywine, won bronze at GABF this year. This was also Bottlegger’s first time winning some metal at the fest. Rocco is their Amber ale. It has a quite dominant caramel flavor that hits your palate up front, but is balanced with a nice dryness, so it doesn’t come off too sweet or cloying. It has a pleasant pine characteristic to the aroma, and is an overall excellent beer. Cheers to the Boots team for the win!  The final winner from SoCal that we managed to get our hands on is Bottle Logic Brewing‘s Lagerithm, which is an American-style dark lager. It’s pretty rad to see Bottle Logic win gold with this beer style–it’s not an easy beer to brew. Bottle Logic has been pumping out some awesome beers since they opened in February, from their Double Actuator double IPA, to their Tattered Prince French-style saison, and their Hanamachi Japanese-style rice lager. Big cheers go out to the crew at Bottle Logic! A big shoutout also goes to Beachwood BBQ & Brewing for bringing home a gold for Mocha Machine (sooo good!), a silver for Un Atout, and winning the award for Large Brewpub and Large Brewpub Brewer of the Year. Beachwood continues to impress and dominate at GABF, and we couldn’t be more proud of them.     One of the more notable things about the fest for the last couple of years is the My GABFapp (iOS/Android). Every brewery and every beer at GABF this year is in the smartphone app, and the Brewers Association really went above and beyond with the overall design and functionality of the app. Some more excellent news is that there will be an additional 90,000 square feet of floor space added to the festival next year. This means more breweries, more beer, and more beer fans–a win all the way around. John’s photos from this year’s GABF 2014 can be found here. Also, the complete list of medal winners and award winners at GABF this year can be found here. We can’t emphasize enough how rad the GABF experience is, how cool it was to see some old friends, and our gratitude to the Brewers Association for having us GABF this year. It was a blast, and is something every beer drinker should experience. Cheers also go out to all of the winners at the competition this year.  Cheers!
