Happy Hour #159: The Lost Druid · Stuff Mom Never Told You

0:05
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha. I'm welcome to Stephan
0:07
Speaker 1: ever told your protection of iHeartRadio.
0:18
Speaker 2: And welcome to another edition of Happy Hour. And we're
0:21
Speaker 2: going to put a time stamp here because this is
0:23
Speaker 2: kind of themed, not really themed, and it was by accident,
0:27
Speaker 2: but we're gonna go with it. So today's March fourteenth,
0:30
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. And if you know, we have just
0:33
Speaker 2: had spring Forward, which was awful and I hated it.
0:36
Speaker 2: I think we all did. I mean, I love the Sunshine,
0:38
Speaker 2: don't get me wrong. I was very happy for the sunshine,
0:41
Speaker 2: not so happy about the losing of the hour and
0:44
Speaker 2: track being very confused about dates and well I'm always
0:47
Speaker 2: confused about dates, let's to be real honest, but the
0:50
Speaker 2: time and what time it was and realizing oh, it's
0:53
Speaker 2: actually like five o'clock and not ten o'clock like it
0:57
Speaker 2: just it puts me off. But also with that comes
1:03
Speaker 2: the quickly following Saint Patrick's Day, which we don't do
1:07
Speaker 2: much of on Smindy. Have we done much with Saint
1:11
Speaker 2: Patrick's Day? No, No, I don't think so so. But
1:16
Speaker 2: we do have kind of a themed thing for our
1:19
Speaker 2: Happy Hour, And as per usual, if you are partaking
1:23
Speaker 2: of anything, just be conscientious and make sure you're taking
1:26
Speaker 2: care of yourself and do everything in moderation. Yeah, and
1:31
Speaker 2: in safety. So with that, and then also, we are
1:34
Speaker 2: not being sponsored by any of the products that we
1:37
Speaker 2: are talking about today. Who knows that could change whatsoever
1:41
Speaker 2: in the future. I don't know, but I don't we're
1:44
Speaker 2: not trying to get sponsorships through these episodes. Surprisingly, when
1:50
Speaker 2: we get it as lovely.
1:51
Speaker 1: Right, it's not the goal, but it's a nice outcome, correct.
1:55
Speaker 2: I mean, we're happy when a good product comes our way,
1:59
Speaker 2: and we get very excited, especially when it's like being
2:02
Speaker 2: spearheaded by women or marginalized people, because there's not enough
2:07
Speaker 2: of women and marginalized people who are a part of
2:10
Speaker 2: the marginalized group not getting recognition or the opportunity to
2:14
Speaker 2: lead in things like breweries and liquors and ownership in general,
2:20
Speaker 2: and being able to be a part of an industry
2:22
Speaker 2: that is sometimes more often not than not unwelcoming to
2:27
Speaker 2: the marginalized community in itself. So when we get an
2:30
Speaker 2: opportunity to do that and it gets to be on theme,
2:33
Speaker 2: it just feels like it's just perfectly in place. Do
2:35
Speaker 2: you know any Yes, yes, nice, yes, nice. And today
2:39
Speaker 2: we are actually talking about a female owned brewery called
2:43
Speaker 2: Lost Druid, which is actually located in Atlanta. There's only one, Yes,
2:48
Speaker 2: there's only one, and if you ever in Atlanta, you
2:51
Speaker 2: should definitely go by and check it out. They have
2:52
Speaker 2: an amazing food menu as well any great space. They
2:58
Speaker 2: have the best dessert pressles. Like the first time my
3:01
Speaker 2: partner and I went there because it's close to our neighborhood,
3:03
Speaker 2: we got very excited figuring out that we had such
3:05
Speaker 2: a good location that we were that. I mean, the
3:10
Speaker 2: best pretzel they had like these innovative butters and creams,
3:14
Speaker 2: and I was like, yeah, give me this. I dream
3:17
Speaker 2: about those pretzels by the way I do. But yeah,
3:22
Speaker 2: so we're talking about Lost Druid Brewery. They were created
3:25
Speaker 2: right before, like they opened right before the pandemic, so
3:29
Speaker 2: they came in in a really precarious time and delightfully
3:35
Speaker 2: they were able to keep on going and survive through
3:38
Speaker 2: the pandemic. And I actually got to talk to the honor.
3:42
Speaker 2: Her name is Stasha Flamillo Hopek, and I just listened
3:47
Speaker 2: for that name because I didn't meet miss Stasha, and
3:48
Speaker 2: I got to talk to her but I didn't ask
3:50
Speaker 2: for her full name. Rookie mistake, rookie mistake. To be fair,
3:54
Speaker 2: I kind of ambushed her.
3:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's also sort of awkward to ask someone for
3:59
Speaker 1: their full name name, right, especially if they don't like know,
4:03
Speaker 1: real legit podcasts.
4:04
Speaker 2: Right. She looked at me and then rightfully so with
4:07
Speaker 2: a lot of suspicion, like I was gonna ask for money,
4:09
Speaker 2: I'm gon swear to God, we don't. We're not asking
4:11
Speaker 2: for I've already bought the beer, it's in my bag,
4:14
Speaker 2: we're going, and she was like, oh, okay, Like it's
4:16
Speaker 2: kind of like, are you still listening to me? What's happening?
4:20
Speaker 2: But no, Like she was wonderful and answered my questions,
4:23
Speaker 2: but she was in the middle of making a drink
4:25
Speaker 2: for a couple and I just like, hey, I'm here
4:27
Speaker 2: to buy your beer and talk about it. So she
4:29
Speaker 2: was very gracious. She was like okay, and then as
4:33
Speaker 2: most of us, even myself, she doesn't listen to a
4:35
Speaker 2: lot of podcasts at all because she's kind of busy,
4:38
Speaker 2: and I was like, that's fair. I don't listen to
4:39
Speaker 2: a lot of podcasts unless I have to, and that's
4:41
Speaker 2: my job, y'all. Listen to our podcast, please yes, please. Yeah.
4:46
Speaker 2: So she was very very kind and gracious and talk
4:49
Speaker 2: to me for a few minutes. And yeah, and because
4:50
Speaker 2: I'm also awkward and because I did like feel like
4:53
Speaker 2: I am ambushedor I was really like, I'm going to
4:55
Speaker 2: talk really fast and then leave really quickly because that's
4:58
Speaker 2: what I do. Yay, But uh, yeah, so I got
5:02
Speaker 2: a chance to talk with her for a second about
5:03
Speaker 2: the business and about the plans and how this all
5:06
Speaker 2: came about. And it's kind of like a really inspiring
5:10
Speaker 2: story in a very common sense way, I think to me.
5:14
Speaker 2: But yes, before we start, I did buy four different
5:17
Speaker 2: types of beers. I came in with like two in
5:20
Speaker 2: my mind, but ended up with four, and one of
5:23
Speaker 2: them was for my partner who wanted kind of a stout.
5:26
Speaker 2: So we got Baltic porter and it's called check Coulata
5:31
Speaker 2: and I hope I had said that right is c
5:32
Speaker 2: z E K O L A d A, which is
5:36
Speaker 2: again a Baltic porter, which is with a session porter,
5:39
Speaker 2: is what it is saying. And then I also got
5:42
Speaker 2: a German culsh. Coulsh has been my take like thing lately,
5:46
Speaker 2: like I've really enjoyed good culsh called the Reaper of Souls.
5:49
Speaker 2: And then I saw a heff of Iison called Dream
5:53
Speaker 2: of Antiquity. Uh, and this uh to me. My partner
5:57
Speaker 2: was like, it feels more like a red l and
5:59
Speaker 2: I was like, know, it ends like a half of vision,
6:02
Speaker 2: but it starts off with a little darker taste, like
6:05
Speaker 2: a deeper taste than your typical very vibrant like bright one.
6:08
Speaker 2: But I liked it. I liked the switch up because
6:10
Speaker 2: it had both that that feel, so it was nice
6:14
Speaker 2: and that one I got because they did not have
6:18
Speaker 2: that because it's it's a winter half of vison, so
6:21
Speaker 2: again it makes perfect sense in that duality, but they
6:25
Speaker 2: didn't have it on the list, and it was like
6:27
Speaker 2: just a few k's left and I was like, I
6:29
Speaker 2: need to try this though, so I'm get it that
6:31
Speaker 2: So that was like the impulse by and then the
6:36
Speaker 2: beer that I actually have in my hand right now,
6:38
Speaker 2: I'm gonna open it for as mr effect. So if
6:40
Speaker 2: you don't like splashing sounds or does that crisp sounds
6:45
Speaker 2: popping off the cants sound like what is the word
6:48
Speaker 2: for this? All right? So here yeah, as a guess
6:54
Speaker 2: an ode to Saint Patrick's Day, their beer called Crimson
6:59
Speaker 2: King was it, which is an Imperial Irish red Ale,
7:02
Speaker 2: So cheers for first and foremost, and I'm gonna take
7:05
Speaker 2: a stip. Cheers, yeah, And it is exactly what it is.
7:10
Speaker 2: It's a Imperial red Irish red Ale, so you have
7:13
Speaker 2: both of those very like heavier type of beer. So
7:17
Speaker 2: it's not your typical red ale, it's not your Chillians,
7:20
Speaker 2: sorry y'all, because it a little more bite to that.
7:23
Speaker 2: It's very delightful though. So the way they describe this drink,
7:27
Speaker 2: it says it has the hops Styrian bobeck, which I've
7:31
Speaker 2: never heard of, which tells me I've been out of
7:34
Speaker 2: the game for a very long time when I can't
7:36
Speaker 2: quite recognize the hops. The malt is a base dextrin
7:40
Speaker 2: and then some letters and numbers as we know, and
7:44
Speaker 2: it's a yeast is a house English ale number two.
7:46
Speaker 2: So typically yeast are very unique to the location in area,
7:50
Speaker 2: so I'm assuming if it's house, I'm guessing it's from
7:53
Speaker 2: their location. So we have those beers of course. Lost
7:59
Speaker 2: dru it is a Gaelic word for woods. Yeah. In
8:05
Speaker 2: Gaelic it's a knower of thy oak, which is like
8:09
Speaker 2: very themed for them, And yeah, I think a lot
8:12
Speaker 2: of their beers though, are more European style, because you
8:16
Speaker 2: see a lot of Belgian, German Polish types of beers
8:20
Speaker 2: that they purposely put in there. They have a lot
8:23
Speaker 2: of ESB's, if y'all are interested in stuff like that,
8:26
Speaker 2: a lot of variation, though, they have a lot of
8:28
Speaker 2: good beers. That's culsh though their culsh is one of
8:30
Speaker 2: my favorites. What are you drinking on? Because are you
8:42
Speaker 2: drinking on the same thing?
8:44
Speaker 1: I am drinking the porter okay.
8:46
Speaker 2: Because I didn't get to taste that, tell me about it.
8:49
Speaker 1: Kind of a funny story. Samantha is very kind and
8:53
Speaker 1: lovely as a co host, and dropped this beer off
8:56
Speaker 1: to Meme and we gave ourselves enough time to try
9:01
Speaker 1: a couple of the things. I can't find one. I
9:05
Speaker 1: know I have it, and I didn't drink it. It's
9:09
Speaker 1: in my fridge somewhere. But I've told you my fridge
9:12
Speaker 1: is a mess.
9:13
Speaker 2: Well, you don't, we rarely don't. You don't really have
9:16
Speaker 2: a lot of food. So I'm kind of how.
9:18
Speaker 1: I'm I can take a picture and send it to you, Okay,
9:21
Speaker 1: but it's it's in there somewhere. But I don't know where,
9:27
Speaker 1: so I went with the border, which is also kind
9:32
Speaker 1: of fun theme.
9:33
Speaker 2: I guess, so sure, Sure, I mean a Baltic porter.
9:37
Speaker 1: Yeah. Sure. It does have a high alcohol content. I'll
9:40
Speaker 1: tell you that it's very It's very great though, So
9:43
Speaker 1: I had I had to have a vis in last
9:45
Speaker 1: night and I loved it. And I feel like both
9:50
Speaker 1: of because I've only had two, were very They do
9:55
Speaker 1: have a lot of, like you said, duality or like
9:58
Speaker 1: there's a complexity there. But this is very great because
10:01
Speaker 1: it's kind of got the roasted coffee, kind of nutty
10:08
Speaker 1: almost flavor of a porter. But it it it just
10:13
Speaker 1: goes down a much much easier than some porters do
10:16
Speaker 1: for me, Like it's not it doesn't feel so heavy. Yeah,
10:19
Speaker 1: but it's very nice flavor. Yeah.
10:21
Speaker 2: So it is supposed to be, again like a session
10:23
Speaker 2: drinking porter. So it is eight percent. Mine is nine
10:26
Speaker 2: point one percent. So we're about to get lit. I'm
10:28
Speaker 2: just kidding to be fair, I don't drink a lot,
10:31
Speaker 2: so there's a likelihood that I'm going to take about
10:33
Speaker 2: half of this and then give the rest of my partner,
10:35
Speaker 2: which has been quite funny because that's then what's happening
10:37
Speaker 2: like lately, I'm just like, I drink two or three
10:39
Speaker 2: STIPs and then here you go, you have it. Cause
10:42
Speaker 2: again I'm just I'm just the lightweight now like it
10:45
Speaker 2: doesn't it's not as enjoyable. But yeah, I think I'm
10:48
Speaker 2: glad to hear confused while you lost who.
10:52
Speaker 1: I will find it? But I was so confused, I'm
10:55
Speaker 1: confused to surrend.
10:57
Speaker 2: So you have two left and one's lost.
11:00
Speaker 1: I thought I have one left and one's lost if
11:02
Speaker 1: you gave me.
11:03
Speaker 2: Four, right, right, So you have one left and one's lost,
11:05
Speaker 2: so there's total of two though. Yes, okay, okay, okay,
11:08
Speaker 2: that's what I say. Yeah, this is what happens.
11:12
Speaker 1: I was very taken aback when I went to find
11:17
Speaker 1: it today.
11:18
Speaker 2: Trying to figure it out. Well, anyway, what's that? Yeah,
11:22
Speaker 2: So we are talking about this brewery who was able
11:25
Speaker 2: to survive, And that was one of the questions I
11:27
Speaker 2: had to ask, Like you surprisingly as a bra especially
11:30
Speaker 2: as a brand new brewery coming out right before the pandemic,
11:34
Speaker 2: how did you maintain, especially in a single location, all
11:39
Speaker 2: of those things, Like you didn't have wide distribution at
11:41
Speaker 2: that point. They don't do distribution actually, and that makes sense,
11:44
Speaker 2: because the laws in Georgia are nuts when it comes
11:47
Speaker 2: to beer and looquers, and it's absurd about who owns owners,
11:51
Speaker 2: who owns the rights to distribution, and who gets paid
11:55
Speaker 2: the most and guess what, it's not the breweries actually
11:58
Speaker 2: unless they make really big deals by selling out. And
12:01
Speaker 2: then you know that conversation. So she was talking about
12:05
Speaker 2: the fact that they just did a really great job
12:07
Speaker 2: and understanding business tactics. And I think this is one
12:10
Speaker 2: of the things that I did get to compliment her,
12:12
Speaker 2: and I didn't have this conversation, but it kind of
12:14
Speaker 2: falls in line when we have talked about stocks and
12:17
Speaker 2: how women are just better about waiting and being patient
12:22
Speaker 2: to let it grow instead of being freaked out and
12:24
Speaker 2: doing last minute decisions or quick decisions and turnarounds, and
12:27
Speaker 2: how women are able to learn the patients and do
12:31
Speaker 2: things through research and not that it's because again we're
12:34
Speaker 2: not saying that that's all women and it's all inherent
12:37
Speaker 2: for all of us, because that's not the case at all.
12:39
Speaker 2: But the fact that she did a she was a
12:42
Speaker 2: business person, she was in the corporate world, and she
12:45
Speaker 2: did really well in the corporate world, but she got
12:47
Speaker 2: burned out as she told me, and was ready for
12:49
Speaker 2: something new and wanted to do something on her own.
12:51
Speaker 2: And though she didn't know necessarily a lot about breweries,
12:54
Speaker 2: she knew about the business, about business sides and what
12:57
Speaker 2: to do and just doing a well put together plan.
13:01
Speaker 2: And the one thing I kept saying is like she
13:03
Speaker 2: kept saying as I asked for her for advice for
13:05
Speaker 2: women who are looking at getting out of that type
13:08
Speaker 2: of corporation to something that could they can you know,
13:10
Speaker 2: do that they might love or at least like grow
13:13
Speaker 2: with and learn with. And she was just talking about
13:15
Speaker 2: planning and making sure you're being realistic. Again, I feel
13:19
Speaker 2: like as most times when it comes to gender roles,
13:23
Speaker 2: for the most part, women have been taught that you
13:27
Speaker 2: better be super sure and ten times more confident than
13:30
Speaker 2: the regular person slash men. That's that whole, Like I
13:34
Speaker 2: have to be not only the best, but ten times
13:36
Speaker 2: more than that to even try for this type of conversation,
13:40
Speaker 2: and in that it does help grow a really good
13:43
Speaker 2: business if you do it correctly. With good beer. So
13:47
Speaker 2: her husband was a homebrewer who was able to bring
13:51
Speaker 2: in all of these different types of beers which were
13:53
Speaker 2: amazing and very different in each one, I think, and
13:57
Speaker 2: these two as a combination were able to make it
14:00
Speaker 2: through this and still have a really good business practice.
14:03
Speaker 2: She talked about how during the pandemic they were able
14:06
Speaker 2: to work on their space in a very smart way,
14:09
Speaker 2: so they have a lot of outdoor seating. Have we
14:11
Speaker 2: taken you yet any No, I've never been. Okay, I'm
14:13
Speaker 2: gonna have to take you because it is one of
14:14
Speaker 2: our favorite locations for larger crowds. I had suggested it
14:18
Speaker 2: to a friend of the show, slash Old co host
14:21
Speaker 2: Caroline for an event she did, and she had people
14:24
Speaker 2: there because not only is it like you go up
14:26
Speaker 2: to the bar so you have your own tabs and
14:28
Speaker 2: think goodness, you know, keep up with things that way,
14:30
Speaker 2: because that can be a mess, but have plenty of
14:34
Speaker 2: seating if they have all these private spaces that they
14:36
Speaker 2: can rent out, which again I think that's really really smart.
14:39
Speaker 2: Especially the location they're at is very like new family friendly,
14:44
Speaker 2: very new new neighborhood. You've been around there and it's
14:47
Speaker 2: currently growing, So I feel like it's really good play
14:50
Speaker 2: to like have that they're outdoor space, so many tables,
14:54
Speaker 2: and they've changed it throughout since my partner and I
14:56
Speaker 2: first visited, but like the awnings and the tables are gorgeous,
15:00
Speaker 2: and then plenty of space for dogs, and like it's good,
15:03
Speaker 2: it's a good spot. And she was just talking about
15:06
Speaker 2: having that as an accessibility, was they were able to
15:09
Speaker 2: keep open essentially. I think I'm pretty sure they had
15:12
Speaker 2: to close down for a little bit, but then like
15:13
Speaker 2: they were ready to open much quicker than a lot
15:16
Speaker 2: of the other spaces because they were able to have
15:18
Speaker 2: that kind of setting and they were able to switch
15:20
Speaker 2: it up real quick from indoor to outdoor. And she
15:25
Speaker 2: was just talking about, you know, making sure you have
15:27
Speaker 2: a good plan, making sure you have again realistic expectations
15:32
Speaker 2: and a true understanding behind what you're doing, and starting
15:35
Speaker 2: a business again, all these things are ideal and all that.
15:40
Speaker 2: And then she also came in saying that we didn't again,
15:42
Speaker 2: we weren't looking to be distributors. We were looking to
15:45
Speaker 2: be brewery that was able to be pretty much a
15:48
Speaker 2: gastropub type of thing. And they brought it an amazing
15:51
Speaker 2: chef I remember reading, and I don't know, we might
15:55
Speaker 2: have some listeners who know more about it eventually, but
15:58
Speaker 2: from what I remember reading, they brought it in like
16:00
Speaker 2: one of the star chefs to start the menu, and
16:03
Speaker 2: the menu was pretty impressive and it still is like
16:06
Speaker 2: that Preszl dessert lives in my mind. I want it,
16:09
Speaker 2: I need it, I need to go back. But making
16:11
Speaker 2: sure that they had a kitchen. So the thing that
16:14
Speaker 2: was different for Georgia is we had huge regulations when
16:19
Speaker 2: it came to kitchens. We also know when it comes
16:21
Speaker 2: to so Safe and all those certifications that happened. Industry
16:25
Speaker 2: people know what I'm talking about when I say this,
16:27
Speaker 2: that they have to follow all these guidelines in order
16:30
Speaker 2: to be open and in order to serve these foods
16:33
Speaker 2: as well. And they planned ahead to make it open
16:36
Speaker 2: that way, which is which was rare for pre pandemic breweries.
16:41
Speaker 2: Like most of the breweries at that point brought in
16:43
Speaker 2: food trucks and brought in which is great, and had
16:46
Speaker 2: like special guests, but that weren't licensed necessarily, so it
16:48
Speaker 2: was a little different. That weren't always promised. I wasn't
16:51
Speaker 2: always there. So this made it a friendly hangout for
16:54
Speaker 2: families and like get together to where it's just not
16:57
Speaker 2: a ruckus of people hopping around bars, although there's a
17:00
Speaker 2: lot of breweries in that location. I was really impressed
17:03
Speaker 2: and really happy by that. But yeah, so having her
17:17
Speaker 2: let us know what's going on and knowing that she
17:20
Speaker 2: was like, look, let's be for real, make sure you
17:24
Speaker 2: know what you're walking into with at least a good
17:27
Speaker 2: plan that you know can't be successful. And I was like, yeah,
17:30
Speaker 2: that makes instead of just like dreams and hopes, doesn't
17:34
Speaker 2: like pay the rent and bring in customers, Let's just
17:37
Speaker 2: be very very honest, you know, like having that understanding,
17:41
Speaker 2: especially with all these breweries that are popping up everywhere,
17:44
Speaker 2: like Atlanta was at one point one of the big
17:46
Speaker 2: largest growing brewery towns cities, and so making sure that
17:52
Speaker 2: they stood out and remained was something there that was
17:55
Speaker 2: very important to her and is very important to her obviously,
17:57
Speaker 2: and not just being out there for the for the trends,
18:04
Speaker 2: because it was trendy to be, you know, a brewer
18:07
Speaker 2: and all these things. And I don't know has that
18:09
Speaker 2: fallen out of favor yet, being a homebrewer out of
18:13
Speaker 2: the hobbies.
18:14
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not in touch enough with the world.
18:18
Speaker 2: I know I'm out of it. I haven't been in
18:19
Speaker 2: the brewery world in so long. It makes me kind
18:22
Speaker 2: of sad. I've thought about the other day, I was like, Okay,
18:25
Speaker 2: if something falls through here, I wonder if I can
18:27
Speaker 2: go work back at a brewery because I'll made me
18:29
Speaker 2: some money at one point in time, and learning about
18:34
Speaker 2: the breweries were all like Bears and Barley's and hops
18:37
Speaker 2: and the science behind it was really incredible. You and
18:39
Speaker 2: I met an event.
18:41
Speaker 1: I know there, a professional photo was taken. We've talked
18:45
Speaker 1: about it before and it comes up. It comes up
18:48
Speaker 1: pretty frequently on my digital frame.
18:50
Speaker 2: As it should, as it should as a relationship was
18:54
Speaker 2: kindled that we didn't know at this point. But yeah,
18:57
Speaker 2: So having that conversation with her, sitting with her like
19:01
Speaker 2: againt ambushing her a little bit about the business was
19:04
Speaker 2: really really interesting to see and seeing her take and
19:05
Speaker 2: she was very just straightforward and like and knowing this
19:08
Speaker 2: is a business that she's able to do and at
19:12
Speaker 2: least she can control some of the things around her
19:16
Speaker 2: instead of like a corporate demons on her, I guess.
19:20
Speaker 2: And then yeah, having this good space, having good partnerships,
19:24
Speaker 2: hopefully having good employees. They were all very much raving
19:26
Speaker 2: about her. When I was like, oh, so I heard
19:28
Speaker 2: you had a female owner, and they're like, yeah, she's
19:30
Speaker 2: right there, she's really cool, like very like excited that
19:34
Speaker 2: she was with them, And obviously she's there with them
19:37
Speaker 2: helping them out and making sure that she is a
19:39
Speaker 2: part of the crew and working with them, so it
19:42
Speaker 2: was really nice to see as well. And yeah, and
19:44
Speaker 2: these beers are quite delicious.
19:48
Speaker 1: They are, and I was thinking that we definitely have
19:53
Speaker 1: to go sometime. But these are very As I've mentioned before,
19:57
Speaker 1: when I do Dungeons and Dragons, I bring themed beers.
20:01
Speaker 1: These are very appropriate. The titles are great, the logo
20:06
Speaker 1: is great, like these would fit right in.
20:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, D and D.
20:10
Speaker 1: So I have to pick them up.
20:13
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to grab some. Yep, you're gonna have
20:14
Speaker 2: to go buy because they have a pretty good stock
20:17
Speaker 2: honestly for to go beers. I had more options than
20:19
Speaker 2: I thought, which is why I walked away with four
20:21
Speaker 2: and still thinking about the others as I left. You know, like,
20:28
Speaker 2: I think they have bingo there. I've been dying to
20:31
Speaker 2: play bingo. I don't know why. There's two things I
20:33
Speaker 2: want to do right now, and that's bingo and bowling.
20:36
Speaker 2: I don't know what that is about me and BT dubs.
20:39
Speaker 2: I'm bad at bowling, real bad, like seventies is my score.
20:45
Speaker 2: I think the highest I've ever gotten was like ninety something.
20:48
Speaker 2: I never reached, so I'm not really sure why. And
20:51
Speaker 2: bingo is kind of the luck of the draw. It
20:53
Speaker 2: makes me nervous, like with the stamping. We need to
20:56
Speaker 2: go to bingo sometime.
20:58
Speaker 1: I have a whole group that love bingo. We I've
21:01
Speaker 1: got dobbers. I've got four dobbs of difference.
21:04
Speaker 2: All right, I think I knew this by you.
21:05
Speaker 1: Yes, I enjoy it too. Uh. I rarely win, same
21:12
Speaker 1: with bowling, but I enjoy it.
21:17
Speaker 2: Let's go and you know what. Another event that I
21:19
Speaker 2: see and I think is amazing stitching bitch. Apparently they
21:23
Speaker 2: host uh yeah, people to come into craft and stitch
21:26
Speaker 2: while drinking beer. They have a meet up at Lost Druid.
21:29
Speaker 2: I love this.
21:30
Speaker 1: Somebody just texted me about that and I was like,
21:33
Speaker 1: but I can't stitch. I can you figure it out?
21:38
Speaker 2: Stare at it, like.
21:39
Speaker 1: I know, I'll put it in an effort, right.
21:42
Speaker 2: I think you would have to, like we would have
21:43
Speaker 2: to do some youtubing.
21:46
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, and hopefully people who knew how to
21:50
Speaker 1: do it would give you a little like tips. Yeah,
21:54
Speaker 1: here's yeah, go for it.
21:56
Speaker 2: I mean it's supposed to be like your socializing and
21:58
Speaker 2: getting to meet people and then obviously trying to make
22:00
Speaker 2: friends here. So that's even better.
22:02
Speaker 1: I mean, could they should just if they had just
22:04
Speaker 1: a craft night, like if the Stitch and whatever is
22:06
Speaker 1: Stitch and Drink is just cosplay.
22:10

22:31
Speaker 2: a couple. So they have that, and they also brew.
22:33
Speaker 2: They also have Seltzer's hard Seltzers, and of course they
22:36
Speaker 2: have the non alcoholic stuff as well, like I think
22:38
Speaker 2: they have cokes as such, and obviously water. But yeah,
22:41
Speaker 2: just hanging out and get good food. It's a great option.
22:43

22:46
Speaker 2: together with the planet and it's worked.
