Why would a brewery care about eliminating local bus fares, decreasing gun violence, or any social issues? When you build businesses to create positive social in your community change like David Meeker, you're bound to get into some good trouble. To help him balance his commitments to his business ventures and his desire to make a positive social impact, he shares what he calls his 80/20 rule. We dove into the nitty gritty of how Carpenter Development and Trophy Brewing got started, discussed how State of Beer and Young Hearts Distilling add to his spirits empire, and what's on the agenda for the next 5 to 7 years (if you can believe it).

Back in the Fall, I made my way back to my home state of North Carolina which is where I met up with today's guest, Chris Powers. Much in the way of previous guest, David Weiss, Chris and I realized we'd met before at the store I had been working at right after college. Today, Chris owns Trophy Brewing, one of my favorite Breweries in North Carolina. Having worked for large companies as well as some more local establishments, Chris took his expertise into a fairly casual conversation with a friend about starting their own thing, and well, they certainly made that happen. Trophy has grown somewhat exponentially since they started, and it was not only fun to learn a bit about the beer world of Raleigh, but also to get into the weeds of how to start such a business. Chris was incredibly open regarding sharing information about their 4-person partnership, the acquisitions of real estate and how Trophy plans to keep reaching the tastebuds of those in & around the Southeast. We also discuss their new distillery and later touch on Chris's history with cars, being a dad, and automotive-inspired pizza? You'll hear about it...

On this special episode we interview artist Jane Cheek about seeking new opportunities and keeping the momentum going in the art business. Jane Cheek grew up in North Carolina and graduated from NC State in 2005 with a degree in Art Studies. She has exhibited her work throughout the Triangle including 311 Gallery, VAE, and Durham Art Guild, and has a public-facing studio at Artspace in downtown Raleigh. Her kinetic rainbow installation, “We Wondered If We Could Reach Its End” is currently on exhibit at VAE's pop up space at 120 S Wilmington Street and her collaborative installation, “We Made A Happy Little Tree” is on display at Trophy Brewing and Pizza. Artist Statement: Wind gently whispering over water and land. Light streaming through mist, refracted into a rainbow. Trees standing majestically, accepting of the burdens you lay on their waiting branches. Do you remember being here? Do you remember the feeling of being welcomed in nature? My work captures these emotions in large scale immersive formats. Influenced by abstract and textile art, I stitch collages and kinetic sculptures that bring the viewer into an altered perspective, one where they can feel the wonder and acceptance of the natural world. Nature embraces us all and my work aims to remind the audience of the egalitarian wonder of our planet.

I was in North Carolina for a quick minute helping launch a start-up, and I had about a 2-hour window on my last night in Raleigh to record a podcast episode with one of the city’s best known breweries — Trophy. I visited both their locations — known as little Trophy and big Trophy — and we really hit it off. From as far away as Chicago, I could tell Trophy had something special. Sometimes you can just see it. And my first visit didn’t disappoint. Clean, well-fermented beers with character. A great vibe in the pub. And their early, hard-earned success off the back of a 3bbl system is about to get some relief with a new production facility on the other side of the city. So later that night the boys came by the hotel to record. It was the end of a long day of working and drinking, so this one’s a bit on-the-fly, but it’s such a great conversation with two of the most charming people you’ll ever meet.
In this episode of the Brewluminati Podcast John and Jake discuss the exploding Mental Health crisis that exists in America. They dive into bullying, self-harm, addiction, and other results of the algorithms and like buttons. The real question posed is has all this been put in place on purpose, or is it an accident that happened while companies were chasing profits? As always, the guys start by reviewing a few beers from Trophy Brewing, a favorite of Raleigh, NC locals. John is drinking Trophy's Raspberry Tart POP while Jake samples Trophy's seasonal Pumpkin Spice Milky Way Stout. To skip the beer reviews and discussion, jump forward to 14:15.

In the winter of 1953 dozens of dogs were slaughtered in a small town in North Carolina. Their bodies were found crushed and drained of blood at the edges of farms. After a few people spotted the beast lurking around their property the mayor of Bladenboro put out a call for hunters to find the creature. More than 1,000 men turned up looking to bag the beast of Bladenboro and add it's head to their hunting trophies. If you want to skip the beer and jump right into the conspiracy, fast forward to *21:30* and check out the truth behind the elusive Beast of Bladenboro! *But first, the beer:* On this special episode the guys dive into a *BeerXperiment* tasting session.
