BREWERY IS BACK UP AND OPEN.

DISTANCING THINGS.
DISTANCING THINGS. >> IT HAS BEEN INTERESTING.
LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE.
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST
WAY TO MAKE HOSPITALITY WORK.
IT IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT
MAKING PEOPLE FEEL WELCOME AND
THE SAFETY OF OUR STAFF IS A
CRITICAL THING AND THESE DAYS
IT TAKES ON A DIFFERENT
MEANING.
MEANING.
MEANING. FOLLOWING THE ADVICE OF HEALTH
OFFICIALS AND THE CDC AND THE
NATIONAL RESTAURANT
NATIONAL RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION, EVERYTHING IS
PROPERLY DISTANCED.
PROPERLY DISTANCED. WE HAVE SO MUCH ROOM, KRISTEN,
YOU HAVE BEEN THERE SO WE
SPREAD THE TABLES OUT TO MAKE
PEOPLE FEEL SAFE.
OBVIOUSLY THE STAFF ARE
CLEANING AND SANITIZING OVER
AND OVER TO MAKE SURE WE ARE
DOING IT AS WELL AS POSSIBLE.
AND YOU KNOW AT THE END OF THE
DAY IT IS JUST A LOT OF GREAT
BEER AND A LOT OF GREAT FOOD.
THE SAME WELCOME THAT PEOPLE
ARE USED TO GETTING FROM A FEW
FURTHER FEET APART.
>> THIS WEEKEND IS 4th OF JULY.
WHAT IF ANYTHING DO YOU GUYS
HAVE IN STORE?
>> THESE ARE THE TYPES OF
WEEKENDS THAT WE WOULD BLOW THE
WEEKEND OFF, RIGHT?
WE ARE TAKING IT SLOW.
LAST WEEKEND IS THE SAME THING
AS THIS WEEKEND.
HOPEFULLY THE CROWDS ARE BIGGER
AND A LITTLE MORE FULL.
BREWERIES LIKE OURS IS ONLY AS
FUN AS THE PEOPLE INSIDE.
WE NEED LAUGHTER.
HOPEFULLY PEOPLE WILL COME BACK
OUT.

THERE'S A LOT OF ANXIETY THERE.
THERE IS A LOT OF CONCERN AND
RIGHTFULLY SO.
RIGHTFULLY SO. IN ADDITION TO THE INSIDE OUR
OUTDOOR GARDEN, WE ARE
CONTINUING THE CURB SIDE PICKUP
PROGRAM.

GUINNESS PART OF YOUR WEEKEND.
>> HAVE YOU A NEW ONE.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT.
>> IF ANYONE IS AT THE BREWERY
THE LAST 18 MONTHS OR FEW YEARS
YOU MIGHT HAVE TRIED A BRAND
NEW BEER.
NEW BEER.
NEW BEER. IT HAS A BRAND NEW LABEL AND
NAME AND IT LOOKS SHARP IN ITS
BRAND NEW PACKAGING AND THIS IS
WIDE MOUTH L, THAT IS ONE OF
THE FIRST BEERS WE OPENED FROM
AUGUST 2018.
AUGUST 2018. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS BEER IS
THAT WE ARE RELEASING IT FROM
THE BREWERY AND SENDING IT TO
LOCAL BARS AND LIQUOR STORES
AND WHEREVER YOU FIND YOUR BEER
CHANCES ARE YOU WILL FIND IT
AND THE PERFECT TIME OF YEAR.
THIS IS A BEER THAT IS LIGHT
AND CRISP AND NO BITTERNESS AS
ALL THAT IS CLASSIC STYLE.
THAT IS OUR TAKE ON BELGIUM
BEER AND LEMON AND ORANGE TALE
AND CORIANDER AND WHAT HAS MADE
IT SO SUCCESSFUL IN THE BREWERY
AND WHY WE CHOSE TO RELEASE IT
NOW, AS YOU KNOW, KRISTEN,
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT
GET DRAGGED TO OUR BREWERY BY
THEIR FRIENDS AND THOSE PEOPLE
LOVE BEER BUT MAYBE THE PERSON
DOES NOT LIKE BEER AS MUCH AND
THEY WILL SAY DO YOU HAVE
SOMETHING FOR A WINE DRINKER OR
COCKTAIL DRINKER.
COCKTAIL DRINKER. IF YOU ARE A WINE DRINKER AND
PREFERS SOMETHING CRISPER AND
MORE DRY, NOT AS BITTER AS BEER
IS IN THE UNITED STATES TEND TO
BE, THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO
INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO
EVERYTHING GUINNESS IS DOING.
>> THAT IS SPEAKING MY LANGUAGE
BUT I HAD TO TRY IT.
I WILL POP MINE OPEN TOO.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> SO ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS
YOU WILL NOTICE WHEN WE POUR
THE BEER IT HAS A LOVELY HAZE
TO IT.
TO IT.
TO IT. JUST A LITTLE BIT.
IT IS CERTAINLY NOT OPAQUE, YOU
WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THROUGH IT.
THAT HAZE IN THE GLASS IS ALL
BECAUSE OF THE WHEAT THAT IS
USED TO MAKE THE BEER.
IT HAS PROTEIN AND GIVES YOU A
HAZE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY A
SPICY PEPPERING AND FULL-BODIED
MOUTH FILL.
MOUTH FILL. >> YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME WELL,
RYAN, THIS IS DELICIOUS.
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. A
>> YES. A LITTLE BIT OF THAT CORIANDER
GIVING YOU A SPICINESS.
THE WHEAT CONTRIBUTING A LITTLE
BIT OF THAT AS WELL.
LIKE I SAID NO BITTERNESS AT
ALL AND NO LINGERING SWEETNESS
OR LINGERING FLAVOR.
IT FINISHES CLEAN AND IN
ADDITION TO THAT.
IF YOU ARE COOKING OUT, THIS IS
A GREAT BEER TO HAVE BY YOUR
SIDE BECAUSE IT IS LOW IN
ALCOHOL AND FIVE PERCENT AND
PEOPLE WILL DRINK RESPONSIBLY.
IF YOU ARE HANGING OUT WITH
FRIENDS YOU CAN HAVE A COUPLE
AND STILL BE IN CONTROL OF WHAT
IS GOING ON.
>> WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE
BEERS LEAVE THAT LITTLE KIND OF
THING AT THE END WITH THE
HOPPINESS AND THIS DOES NOT DO
IT AT ALL.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO
TRY IT WITH YOU EVEN THOUGH IT
IS FROM A DISTANCE.
RYAN.
RYAN.
RYAN. >>
RYAN. >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. IT IS FROM A DISTANCE.
