Episode 059 – A Great Place To Gather
In Episode 059 we spend time with Joe Yeado, owner of Gathering Place Brewing Company in the Riverwest area of Milwaukee. Home to 4 other prominent Milwaukee breweries, with one literally just around the corner. Joe and his wife just purchased a small brewery located in another Milwaukee suburb call Wauwatosa (Tosa to the locals). And like the original brewery, this location is on a street with 4 other breweries. But that is where the similarities end. Both locations have their own vibe and a different set of customer demographics. Listen in as Danielle and Travis learn from Joe what makes Gathering Place so special and why they bought the other brewery.
Episode 058 – Your Passport To Craft Drinks And So Much More!
We have all become familiar with the beer passports that many states and regions have. The process is a lot like this, stop in a brewery, order a drink, get your book stamped and head off to the next location.
It is a great way to see your state, visit breweries you might not have visited without the passport, have some fun and meet some interesting people.
But what happens when the passport is much more than a tool to get people to stop in for a drink to get the stamp. What is people got much more information about craft beer, your location, your history, and access to an app that supports the passport, and it never expires?
Now, tie the passport, the app, and social media together and you begin to develop a digital community that meets at breweries.
Passports invite you to join friends, support the best local businesses, drink some drinks, try something new, and meet new people… what’s not to love?
Episode 057 – You Know You’re Soaking In It…..
From hotels to rehab facilities, health clubs to professional sports organizations. Hot tubs offer many benefits for the body, the mind and the sole. After a tough workout a hot tub can help relieve muscle pain and soothe aching joints. It may also lower blood pressure and support heart health. We all know that hot water helps melt away stress and anxiety as it helps to hydrate the skin. And once we hop out and crawl into bed it helps us fall asleep faster and enjoyed a higher-quality sleep. Dino Sarancic and his family are well aware of the heath benefits of bathing and that those are increased with the addition of beer.
Episode 056 – Opening a 2nd Brewery in The Same Location.

Episode 055 – Opening A Second Brewery In Another State
In September of 2019 Indeed Brewing Company in Minneapolis, Minnesota opened the pilot brewery and taproom in Walker’s Point, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Listen in as Morgan Halaska and Ryan Bandy talk about having locations in 2 states.
Episode 054 – We Serve 2 Very Different Communities
The Taproom is a lot like their hives. From the outside it looks pretty laid back, but when you look inside there is a buzz of activity. Many breweries talk of community and buying local, but this brewery is different in so many ways. There are few that can say they have 2 thriving communities they serve. The one they live and work in, and the one that produces the honey they use to make their session meads.
Episode 053 – Bad Beer Amnesty Week – Part 2
If his voice and his story sound vaguely familiar it is because he was our very first guest on the Market The Brew Podcast 52 episodes ago.
During the first podcast we learned of their Beer Amnesty Week in which you would bring in a 6 pack of BAD beer (macro brews) in exchange for a 6-pack of their beer…no questions asked.
Listen in to learn more…..
