- As we're driving down the road
heading to our new camp ground,
we discovered this!
- Nine Line.
- It is a veteran owned, veteran I don't know backed.
I don't even know how to put it.
They are all patriotic. - 100%.
- And they're not ashamed of it.
- Well, their tagline is, "Relentlessly patriotic."
I love that.
- [Stacy] And they also do have several military charities,
veteran charities that they stand behind
and they have two shirts in here
that I have been dying to find.
So we need to go in and check it out.
- So we're gonna go in here and spend a little money
and maybe, you can see over this shoulder
they got little coffee shops. So we may go in there.
- Yeah, and that's Black Rifle Coffee
which is also veteran owned.
And just so you know,
Nine Line is the name of this company.
And that's actually the call sign
for someone who was on the battlefield who needs a medevac.
So this is a shirt we were looking for
just to remind everybody that
22 veterans a day commit suicide.
It's a pretty scary thought that they survive deployment,
all the things they have to go through.
And then they come home and we are not taking care of them.
Unfortunately, they didn't have the women's version
of the shirt that I wanted
but they did have a cool one for Phil.
And I got a little Black Rifle coffee
so I can recharge and maybe bounce off the walls in a bit.
- Yeah, we'll see how it goes,
but I didn't get any coffee because
I don't drink my coffee black
and they couldn't make any foo-foo coffee.
So I was out. - Yeah,
their machine just exploded or something.
So Phil has to have lots of sugar and cream
or he can't drink it, oh yeah. - But we got shirts.
We got shirts.
- And there may be a few presents in there
for a couple of our friends.
So they will just have to stay tuned.
- Can you guess where we're at?
Three guesses, first two are wrong.
- Life was lack a box of chocolates.
You never know what you're gonna get.
- We can't sit on the bench and eat our chocolates
which I left in the car.
- We do have chocolates.
There's no bench to sit on to eat them.
- Yeah, they put the bench in a museum, so.
But you should recognize the statue behind us.
And there were a few other movies
filmed here too, in Savannah.
- And what were they?
- I don't remember.
I read it last night.
So I've already data dumped it all.
- I have no idea.
I'm just long for the ride
but I gotta tell you from where we parked the Jeep to now,
Savannah's a really, really beautiful city.

- It took us a whole 10 minutes
to get to our next destination from Savannah Oaks RV Resort.
- Yep.
- Or park or resort, I think.
- Yeah, what she said.
So we came here because one,
it's a brewery,
and two, it's a veteran owned brewery
under the Harvest Hosts umbrella.
So we're really stoked to go check it out.
- Absolutely.
You know we'd love hitting up our Harvest Hosts
and they are literally everywhere.
So this one is right outside Savannah
and we are pretty excited about checking it out.
- Yeah, I mean, we have not yet had a beer we didn't like.
(Stacy laughs)
- But don't tell them.
- Yeah, shh!
- One of the things we like the most
about hitting up Harvest Hosts is the fact that
you never know who you're gonna meet in these places.
Whether it's other RVers
and as you can see behind us
there are quite a few that are staying here tonight
or just the people that run the place.
So I don't know if the owner's here tonight,
but sometimes we seek 'em out and ask 'em
how they started the business,
what they think about Harvest Hosts.
Sometimes it's a very interesting conversation.
Good morning, we woke up to the guys next door
working on whatever trucks they're working on.
And we thought we would check out
and see if we have any battery life left
since we had no solar yesterday,
thanks to the rain and the clouds and the sun.
- We're at 44% on our batteries,
which is pretty good considering, like Stacy said,
we had no solar yesterday at all.
It rained pretty much most of the day.
And we're using our gas heat to stay warm.
And one of the ways we preserve our propane
is when we go to sleep at night,
we lower this one so it doesn't come on as often.
And then we turn the back one on so that it keeps us warm
with the door closed.
So now we turn that one off
and I'm turning this one or I'm bumping this one up
so it warms the front up.
- If it's below freezing,
it's not a problem because our propane in the back
is what heats up the bay. So we don't have to worry about
anything freezing down there.
Time for coffee.
- Yeah, yeah, that.
- You guys got to see us an all our morning glory
but we wanted to catch the battery life
before we started really using the batteries
as we're about to right now.
So this is probably gonna knock another what, four?
- Well, it'll happen for a second,
but it'll keep it at 44%.
- Another way we save propane,
is we don't keep the hot water heater on all the time
when we're unplugged.
We only turn it on right before we shower
or if we need hot water for some reason.
And a lot of times we actually just boil the water
on the stove instead of turning the hot water heater on
if we're doing dishes or something.
So I'm gonna go ahead and turn it off
because we both have had our showers
and that's that.
We definitely did not think about doing that.
When we first hit the road, the first time we unplugged
we had had it on the whole time
and we realized that it was on all day
and we only needed it for about what, 20 minutes,
for us both to take our showers.
So that is one way to save on propane.
We reached out to the owner, who is a veteran,
to find out if he'd give us a little tour of the brewery.
And he said, yes.
- Yeah, how cool is that to go see the behind the scenes
of how their beer is made?
So you're a veteran of?
- Yeah, I was army.
- Army, okay.
- Yeah, retired five years ago.
- Nice.
I retired after 27 years of the Navy,
six years ago.
- [Man] Yeah, you were both Navy, right?
- [Phil] Yeah.
- [Stacy] I did five.
- [Man] Okay, my wife did 8 years.
- We really love when we can find
a small mom-and-op type business, breweries especially,
and then bonus that you're veterans.
We absolutely support our veterans.
- As a matter of fact,
by the time you see this.
- Oh yeah.
- We will have hit a hundred thousand dollars raise
for our military charities in less than four years.
So you probably have already seen our celebratory video.
- So how long have you been in business here?
- So we were open in April.
So this first April will be one year for us.
- [Stacy] Oh, nice!
- [Man] Our one year anniversary.
This is where all the beer happens.
So we have (indistinct)
Once everything's done here and chilled,
we move it to one of these tanks,
right now you notice that some of these are bubbling.
That one is.
So that one's bubbling 'cause that one's still going.
That's the lager, that Irish Red,
if you tried that one.
- [Phil] I think I did last night.
- I just keg all that
And that was champagne here.
This week we have about two IPAs to brew
and a few others kind of behind those
as they come out, we'll go into,
but this is pretty much the heart of what we do here.
- Nice.
- So how has Harvest Hosts affected your business?
- We're actually the top brewery
in Harvest Hosts for a number of stays.
- [Stacy] Wow!
We had over 700 stays since we began in September,
that's 18 months ago.
- [Stacy] Well, you guys are perfectly located
'cause you are literally right off the highway.
And you guys have room for what?
Five to seven rooms?
- Well, there were seven-
- Easy steps (overlapping chatter)
We have sometimes upwards of 10 or 12,
depends on the size.
- [Stacy] It definitely beats a Walmart
for overnight every day of the week.
- Yeah, we didn't know about Harvest Hosts
until roughly June.
We had a couple come through here and,
"Hey, you mind if we stay overnight,
you should do Harvest Hosts."
And then August, we went ahead
and pulled the trigger for that.
And they went ahead and vetted us and we were up and running
at the very end of August, so.
And since that point,
like I said, 700, that's crazy,
I never thought that. - It is crazy.
