On this episode of the Whatcha Drinkin' Podcast, the guys sit down with Dana Mate Dones and Rob "Wob" Wanhatalo from The Mitten Brewing Company in Grand Rapids, MI. They discuss everything from The Mitten's humble beginnings to their now three taproom locations, statewide beer distribution, PIZZA!, Ghosts, Oprah, and the brewery's ongoing philanthropic initiatives through The Mitten Foundation. Wob shares what he is drinking, AJ gets stuck trying to pronounce it, and a lightning round of random questions ensues.  Sign up for The Mitten Foundation's 2019 golf outing here or visit them at http://www.mittenbrewing.com  http://www.mittenbrewing.com/foundation  Locations- The Mitten Brewing Co. - Grand Rapids, MI The Mitten Brewing Co. - Saugatuck, MI The Mitten Brewing Co. - Northport, MI   More on The Mitten Foundation- Mitten Foundation plans to partner with a few, carefully selected, local non-profit organizations in an effort to raise both funds and awareness. With the help of its staff and customers, the Mitten has raised more than $200,000 for local organizations since opening in 2012. The foundation's criteria for choosing non-profit partners is twofold: the organization must be local, and they must be small enough that the donation will make a measurable difference. The foundation strives to connect each dollar donated to the effect it has.  The Mitten Brewing Company was humbled to receive the West Michigan Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professional’s 2015 “President’s Award” in recognition of its commitment to fundraising. The company plans to expand its community involvement efforts as it grows, and they recently started an employee volunteer program that provides staff with opportunities to become personally involved with non-profit partners. For more information about the Mitten Foundation’s non-profit partners, how you can get involved with the foundation, and all other donation inquiries, please contact Dana Mate Dones at dana@mittenbrewing.com   Episode Sponsor: Ferris Coffee
