Raising our glasses to commemorate a dozen episodes, Shawn and Andy are here to sprinkle some festive cheer into your speakers. Our latest podcast is a holiday special, replete with the rich, nutty flavors of Boulevard Brewing Company's Nutcracker Winter Warmer, which we lovingly dissect for your auditory pleasure. We'll take you on a trip to Kansas City, Missouri, unveiling the inspiring journey of John McDonald from art and carpentry to the founder of a beer empire. Sit back with your favorite brew as we recount the evolution of our own beer palates and connect over the universal love for a finely crafted pint.
Our conversation ventures beyond mere taste profiles and into the heart of what makes Boulevard Brewing Company stand out from the crowd. We celebrate their monumental growth, their cultural impact, and their ambitious expansion that now includes a massive beer hall, brewery tours, and a gift shop in their vintage 1929 building. But it's not just about beer; it's about the sustainable strides they're making, from full-scale recycling initiatives to the creation of Ripple Glass, proving that a good beer can also be good for the planet.
Finally, we stir up a festive debate, swapping our favorite Christmas movies and settling once and for all if "Die Hard" truly belongs in the holiday canon. Whether you're a "Polar Express" purist or a Hallmark holiday movie devotee, there's room for all by our fireside chat. So, tune in, pour out, and let's share in the merriment of the season together—because nothing pairs with holiday traditions quite like a malty beer and a heartwarming flick.
