Tom and Jon finally get around to The Queue segment that didn't fit into Episode 273 and apparently theme park leftovers can still make a full meal.We begin at SeaWorld Orlando, where Tom discusses visiting on the final day of the park's free-beer promotion and his experience with the locker system near Mako.Next, we head to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. Tom talks about unusually long security lines stretching beyond the tram area, his first look at the new Edge of Africa: Lion & Hyena Ridge, weather interfering with plans to ride Kumba and another round of free beer.There was also food involved, because naturally there was. Tom, Elena and Jon tried the 16-inch Family-Size Meat Lovers Pizza from Taproom Pizza for $33.99.Finally, Tom and Jon briefly discuss Six Flags Great Adventure's newly announced Bakunawa. Coming in 2027, the massive spinning launch coaster is being promoted as a six-record-breaking attraction featuring a 382-foot climb, speeds of up to 100 mph and an upside-down launch.

Last month, breweries added 26.3 taproom visits for every push message they sent. 332 breweries have launched their own app in the past two years. And we're spilling the beans on the best kept secret in beer.In this session, we will break down exactly what goes into a successful brewery app, including best practices and real world examples on how to:-Build your Audience-Boost Taproom Traffic-Grow Membership RevenueThis session is a must for Brewery Owners, Marketers and GMs! All attendees will receive a free copy of the Brewery App Bible including simple marketing checklists you can follow based on the goals you have for your taproom. Ring the bell! Class is in session!Ross Stensrud accidentally graduated from UCSD while studying lacrosse and spending plenty of time at O'Brien's. After a brief stint designing pool cleaners (yes, really) in an effort to justify the cost of his degree, he pivoted and began recruiting smart friends to help build app marketing tech for local businesses—starting with music, then golf, and now craft beer with TapWyse. He lives in Carlsbad with his wife Laurel and their two boys, Roscoe (11) and Mason (9).

Fayetteville, Arkansas sits in the Ozark Mountains with direct flights, a major university, and Walmart's Bentonville headquarters less than 40 minutes away. But the real surprises start once you're on the ground: 4,000 acres of parkland, 120 miles of trails, and a UCI Bike City title that no other American city holds. We wandered through vintage shops like Aunt Bill's, Grey Dog, and Fayetteville's Funky Flea, ate our way through Hugo's and The Guisinger, and enjoyed a Pride celebration with history that goes back to 1975, nearly fifty years before the first official NWA Pride Parade rolled down Dickson Street. This one's proof that some of the best stories are hiding in plain sight.Northwest Arkansas Pride: The Story That Stuck With UsNorthwest Arkansas Pride is one of the largest LGBTQ+ Pride celebrations in the South, and its roots run far deeper than most visitors expect.The first NWA Pride Parade rolled down Dickson Street in 2004. But local Pride history reaches back to at least 1975, with the Miss Gay Fayetteville Arkansas America pageant hosted at George's Majestic Lounge, Arkansas' oldest live music venue. That's nearly fifty years of community history behind a celebration many outsiders assume is a recent addition to the South.This year marked the 22nd Annual NWA Pride Parade, with events including a Hi-Tea Dance & Pool Party at Mount Sequoyah. Northwest Arkansas Pride Weekend is presented by the Tyson Family Foundation and produced by Northwest Arkansas Equality, Inc., a detail that loops right back to the Tyson and Walmart corporate presence just down the road in Bentonville.Best Restaurants in Fayetteville, ArkansasA Taste of Thai, a Fayetteville staple since 2000Little Bread Company, an artisan bakery and sandwich shop tucked on Block StreetHugo's, a basement burger joint off the square that's been a local favorite since 1977Maxine's Taproom, a historic Fayetteville barThe Guisinger (pronounced GY-zing-er), a cocktail bar inside the historic Guisinger Music Building on the Fayetteville squareFollow Links:Direct your audience to our companion article, Why Fayetteville, Arkansas Is One of the South's Most Surprising Small Towns, for the full list of restaurants, shops, and links we mention in this episode.

In a beer industry facing rising costs, shifting consumer habits, and increased competition for attention, taproom events can no longer exist just to “fill a Monday night.” This talk is for craft brewery owners, managers, and staff who want their events to drive real engagement and revenue, not fade into the background.We'll start by looking at how today's economic realities are impacting foot traffic and guest behavior, followed by an honest assessment of common go-to events like trivia, open mics, and live music, and why they often struggle to differentiate or deliver meaningful returns.From there, we'll explore real-world examples of creative, purpose-driven taproom events that actually stand out, including hyper-local collaborations, experiential programming, and events rooted in storytelling, education, and community. You'll walk away with practical frameworks for evaluating ideas and building events that are scalable, repeatable, and aligned with your brand.We'll wrap with an interactive discussion focused on your challenges and how to turn inspiration into next steps.Chris came to the world of craft beer after spending nearly 2 decades in corporate sales management and training. Since making the leap, he has combined that rich experience with a genuine love for this industry. After spending years in General Manager positions for multiple craft breweries, Chris built and opened Nine Spot Brewing in 2022. He currently hosts a popular NY State craft-focused social media channel called the New York Minute, in which he travels the state to find unique stories, and heads a consulting organization called Horse 2 Water that focuses on affordable, actionable plans for successful taproom management.Stay up to date with CBP: http://update.craftbeerprofessionals.org/Join us in person for CBP Connects TampaDecember 7-9, 2026Come get inspired, leave with actionable strategies: https://cbpconnects.com/

Beer loss is often accepted as the cost of doing business, but it could be one of your biggest taproom profit opportunities. After tracking beer loss in spreadsheets, Brent Reynard discovered his brewery was losing nearly 21% of draft beer revenue every month through foam, temperature issues, over-pouring, and operational blind spots. Rather than accept it as the cost of doing business, he built Draft Control - software designed to track beer loss, uncover root causes, and help breweries make better financial decisions. In this episode we explore how better data can reduce waste, improve margins, and replace gut feel with measurable profitability.Key TakeawaysWhy draft beer loss may be far larger and more expensive than most owners realizeHow Brent reduced draft loss from roughly 20% to single digits using visibility, accountability, and operational changesThe “profit per day” metric and how to evaluate draft lines based on both sales velocity and profitabilityWhy the highest-priced beer isn't always the most profitable beerHow data-driven decisions around pours, pricing, and inventory can create a stronger, more profitable taproomResourcesConnect with Brent, brent@draftcontrol.netGet the Brewery Profit Brief - tips, tactics and strategies to run a more profitable beer businessThis episode is brought to you by Secret Hopper.

It's one thing to run a successful craft brewery. It's an entirely different beast to open a restaurant.For Episode 398 of UnCapped, I headed out to Westminster to sit down with Brewery Fire founder and co-owner Jesse Johnson. It's been about two years since Jesse was last on the show, and his team just crossed a massive milestone: opening the doors to the brand-new Brewery Fire Taphouse.The transition hasn't been without its growing pains. Jesse gets incredibly candid about the chaos of their opening weekend, the shock of dealing with brutal Google reviews, and the eye-opening realization that hungry people are significantly angrier than drunk people. We talk about the mental toll of hospitality, the importance of setting boundaries as a small business owner, and what it actually takes to get a new kitchen off the ground. Beyond the behind-the-scenes struggles, we cover what makes this new location worth the trip. The kitchen is putting out elevated bar food (including a phenomenal shrimp taco and house-made tater tots that I will forever argue are just hush puppies), but the real surprise is the cocktail program. Lead bartender Gordon is bringing serious mixology to Carroll County, building drinks from scratch with dehydrated garnishes, house-made syrups, and local spirits from McClintock Distilling and Covalent Spirits.It's a refreshing, honest look at the food and beverage industry from an owner who wears his heart on his sleeve. Grab a beer and hit play to hear how Brewery Fire is navigating this new chapter and their ongoing commitment to keeping things local.

What separates taprooms with loyal regulars and predictable revenue from those constantly chasing new customers? In this episode, we break down how breweries can use loyalty programs to increase visit frequency, boost average check size, smooth out midweek traffic, and create stronger customer relationships. Featuring real-world examples and practical strategies from the Taproom Growth Playbook workshop, this conversation explores how modern loyalty systems can become a true profit driver - not just another "mug club" or “points program.”Key Takeaways:Loyalty programs work best when they are tied to specific customer behaviors you want more of - like weekday visits, customer referrals, or visiting to try new beer releases.Digital mug clubs and app-based rewards can create recurring revenue while strengthening long-term customer engagement.The best loyalty programs start with one clear goal: increasing traffic, boosting spend, improving retention, or generating referrals — then building rewards around that objective.ResourcesLearn more about TapwyseGet the Brewery Profit Brief - weekly tips, tactics and strategies to 10x taproom profitsThis episode is brought to you by Secret Hopper.

On this episode of A One Pint Stand, I sit down with Jeremy Kuhns at his soon-to-be open Dangerous Man Brewing taproom inside the Miller Textile Building of Northeast Minneapolis. If that sounds familiar, it is because that is where HeadFlyer Brewing used to be. Jeremy gave me a tour of the new taproom, we discussed how that location became the new Dangerous Man Brewing taproom home, and talked about how Dangerous Man and HeadFlyer have partnered up to make sure HeadFlyer Brewing's beers are still out in the market.

Episode 171 of the Taproom Podcast: host Mike sits down with Shanleigh Thomson (aka @shan.ferments) for an in-depth conversation about her brewing journey — from agriculture and protein chemistry to Diageo, UC Davis Master Brewers, roles at BSG, Yakima Chief and Roy Farms, and her work teaching brewing programs at Washington State University and UC Davis. The episode covers hop terroir and Terroir Tuesdays, sourcing and supply-chain challenges, fresh‑hop practices, international brewing curiosities (including New Zealand harvests), and the role of education in the craft industry. Shanleigh also shares stories from regional beer scenes, festival life (CBC, World Beer Cup), and how the brewing community supports innovation and resilience. Listeners will hear Shanleigh's beer preferences (West Coast IPAs, dry‑hopped pilsners, ESB), chats about style evolution and naming, practical tips on reading ingredient sourcing, her current curiosities (hangover aids like ZBiotics, low‑ABV yeast developments), and lighthearted segments on travel, guilty pleasures, and situational beers. Key takeaways: the value of transparency in sourcing and malt/hop origins, why community and education matter in craft beer, and a rallying call to support local breweries — plus what to expect from upcoming Taproom episodes and festival appearances.

In an industry built on authenticity and community connection, most teams resist AI because they worry it will dilute the brand's voice or sound generic. Used strategically, AI can protect creative energy, support consistency, and make marketing more sustainable without replacing personality.This session explores how breweries can use AI as a calibration tool that supports brand tone, improves operational communication, and helps repurpose existing conversations and knowledge into usable marketing and training material. We will walk through how AI can bridge the gap between operations and marketing, support seasonal storytelling, accelerate employee onboarding, and create content frameworks that still feel like the people behind the beer.The session includes a live example build showing how to turn raw ideas or taproom dialogue into platform ready content while keeping voice intact.

It's hard out there for a brewery. With follower reach at an all time low and Meta no longer recommending alcohol pages, we need to flip the script. We need profitable & owned channel marketing programs!Bring your scalpel and your bunsen burner. In this session we will dissect the most profitable App Marketing programs. We will look at proven ways to drive repeat visits, real life tactics to sell through aging beer more quickly and how to stack recurring monthly revenue for the slower times.No “pie-in-the-sky” or fluffy marketing ideas allowed. Just real-world examples, numbers & best practices. So you can skip the guesswork and start implementing proven programs right away.This session is for micro to mid-size brewery owners, GMs, marketing managers and head janitors (because let's face it, you do all these jobs anyways). Whether your goal is to grow weekday traffic, launch a paid membership, or turn first-time guests into lifelong fans, you'll leave with a clear action plan tailored to your brewery.Ross Stensrud accidentally graduated from UCSD while studying lacrosse and spending plenty of time at O'Brien's. After a brief stint designing pool cleaners (yes, really) in an effort to justify the cost of his degree, he pivoted and began recruiting smart friends to help build app marketing tech for local businesses—starting with music, then golf, and now craft beer with TapWyse. He lives in Carlsbad with his wife Laurel and their two boys, Roscoe (11) and Mason (9). When he's not working, you'll likely find him biking down PCH or shuttling his kids to basketball, golf, music, and skateboarding.Thank you to Cascade Floors + Harvest Hosts for helping keep our community and content 100% free and accessible to all Craft Beer Professionals.Join us in person for CBP Connects ChicagoJune 15-17, 2026Come get inspired, leave with actionable strategies: https://cbpconnects.com/
In this BeerTalk episode, we head to Belgium — to Leuven, one of the country's true beer hotspots — and step into a place that instantly sticks in your memory: Bart Delvaux's taproom brewery in Kessel-Lo, where beer culture meets bike culture in the most Belgian way possible. Bart shares how it all started with homebrewing in a basement, then took a surprising turn during a work relocation to Chicago — and a bicycle crash that (ironically) led him straight into the world of American taprooms. What began as a setback became the spark for a new life: returning to Belgium, building a brewery, and creating a space where locals and visitors can drink fresh beer on draft, right next to the kettles. We talk about Bart's crossover brewing philosophy — from an easy-drinking cream ale and a smooth, low-ABV tripel, to a bold West Coast IPA, plus monthly specials that range from refreshing sour gose to stouts with chili, tonka beans, and other twists. Bart explains why they don't bottle, how they keep quality and freshness in their own hands, and why the taproom experience matters just as much as the beer itself. One highlight: Bart's obsession with creating beers that surprise you — like a white stout that looks like a pilsner but drinks like a stout, built through careful ingredient testing (and a lot of patience). And yes, we also get into hop water, food collaborations (tacos + jalapeño gose!), and the warm, supportive way Leuven's brewers work together...
As breweries look for new ways to grow, many are exploring opportunities beyond their local audience. Travelers are actively seeking out breweries as part of their journeys, creating an opportunity to connect with new faces and drive additional taproom revenue.In this session, we'll share insights from working with hundreds of brewery partners across the country to highlight how breweries are using Harvest Hosts as a marketing and visibility tool to attract travelers and turn those visits into real sales. We'll explore how RV travelers discover breweries, what influences their decisions to stop, and why welcoming travelers on-site often leads to increased foot traffic and word-of-mouth.Rather than focusing on big operational changes or new marketing campaigns, this session centers on practical, approachable ways breweries are using Harvest Hosts to support growth. Attendees will learn what hosting looks like in practice, how it fits into existing operations, and how breweries are generating incremental taproom revenue while staying focused on making great beer and running a smooth taproom.Thank you to Cascade Floors + Harvest Hosts for helping keep our community and content 100% free and accessible to all Craft Beer Professionals.Join us in person for CBP Connects ChicagoJune 15-17, 2026Come get inspired, leave with actionable strategies: https://cbpconnects.com/
Expanding your brewery's beverage program beyond beer can be tricky, but rewarding as a way to widen your customer audience. Expanding your physical footprint from indoors to outdoors when weather allows can also be a challenge with similar business rewards when done well.

Hi there- hope you had an outstanding St. Paddy's Day and didn't indulge TOO much... Welcome to this week's Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast. I'm John Engleman- thanks for being here. This week, we're in Rogers at Michoacana Ice Cream, where there's much more than Ice Cream, and owner Arturo Rodriguez? A very colorful past-life in LA.. but before we get to that?!?! FOOD NEWS!! Cura Osteria in downtown Rogers has given us a grand opening date... kind of Scoops Ice Cream is open in downtown Springdale, but not without injury! Parlor is open in The Ledger. Dice Goblins' Café is officially open! Not a bad day to open the Fermentary Brewery! Goodcents is open in Fayetteville. Jaclyn's Kitchen re-opens this week in a new location! Trash Ice Cream has their eyes in Fayetteville. Downtown Fayetteville is getting a new brewery. Casa Alejo will be opening a 3rd spot! Fayetteville's Golden Corral is officially closed. Panda Express is coming to Springdale. We'll tell you where. A chili cook-off? You had me at “A”. This time at Black Howler Maxine's Tap Room turns 76, Michoacana and The Odd Soul turn 9, and Stoic Brews turned 1! Michoacana Ice Cream Owner Arturo Rodriguez is originally from Columbia, but came to the US to work with his brother in LA. He eventually got into broadcasting and built his own broadcasting school which happened to be at the same location for CNN in LA. He was on the same floor as Larry King, and some VERY famous guests would get lost and end up at their school accidentally, including one singer that might've been the most popular in the world at the time. Arturo will tell that story. So how does one go from having a popular broadcasting school in LA to Northwest Arkansas? That's another story, and of note- cows don't listen to radio... You'll hear what that means. Finally, Michoacana- known for their homemade ice cream, but becoming known for their food as well... You'll hear about that from owner Arturo Rodriguez of Michoacana Ice Cream in Rogers on this week's edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas!

Episode SummaryThis episode of Nashville Restaurant Radio is what happens when hospitality stops being a business plan and starts being personal.Robin and Jennifer didn't set out to build a concept — they set out to find their neighborhood pub. After meeting, building a life together in East Nashville, and eventually moving to Donelson, they went looking for the kind of local gathering place every great neighborhood deserves.There was just one problem: it didn't exist.So they built it.What followed is one of the most heartfelt conversations we've had on the show. Robin and Jennifer open up about the leap from guests to operators, the emotional connection they've built with their community, and why their regulars — lovingly called the “Homegrown Homies” — mean everything to them.This is a story about intention, courage, and what happens when operators truly care about the people walking through their doors.What We Talk AboutHow Robin and Jennifer met and built their partnershipLife in East Nashville and the move to DonelsonThe moment they realized their neighborhood was missing a true local pubTaking the risk to create what didn't existBuilding deep relationships with their regulars (“Homegrown Homies”)Why culture and staff connection drive everything they doWhat community-first hospitality really looks like in practiceBig Takeaways1. The best concepts solve a real neighborhood problem.Homegrown wasn't born from trend-chasing — it came from a genuine gap in the community.2. Regulars are built through intention, not luck.Their “Homegrown Homies” didn't happen by accident. It's the result of consistent, authentic hospitality.3. Culture is the moat.You can copy menus. You can copy design. You cannot easily copy emotional connection.Why This Episode MattersIf you want a case study in what “Stronger Restaurants, Stronger Communities” actually looks like on the ground — this is it.Robin and Jennifer are building more than a taproom. They're building belonging. And in today's restaurant landscape, that might be the most durable competitive advantage there is.Support LocalVisit Homegrown Taproom and Kitchen in Donelson, support the operators who are pouring back into their neighborhoods, and if this episode resonates, share it with someone who believes restaurants still have the power to bring people together.Stronger Restaurants. Stronger Communities.

On May 26, 2009, 27-year-old Tracy Ocasio spent the night watching the Orlando Magic game at one of her favorite bars in Orlando, Florida. She told her mother she'd be home afterward, but she never returned. The next morning, Tracy didn't answer her phone, and by that evening, her yellow Chevy Cobalt was found abandoned just a few miles from her house - unlocked, with none of her belongings inside. But Tracy was nowhere to be found. Sixteen years later, she is still missing, leaving her community asking the same question: where is Tracy Ocasio? *On the night of May 26, 2009, 27-year-old Tracy Ocasio watched the Orlando Magic game at the Tap Room in Orlando, Florida and left around 1:30 a.m. She never made it home, and her mother discovered she was missing the next morning. That evening, Tracy's yellow Chevy Cobalt was found abandoned a few miles from her house, with no sign of Tracy and none of her belongings inside. Surveillance footage later confirmed she left the bar with James “Jimmy” Hataway, who became the primary suspect. Despite extensive searches, Tracy has never been found.
