Knuth Brew Talk · Fri Jun 12, 2026

Radio Host

Dave Knuth joining us on the phone today, but that doesn't mean he probably doesn't have a cold one in his hand, right?

Dave Knuth

Well, you know, probably in a little bit here.

Radio Host

There you

Dave Knuth

go.

You've had a pretty

Radio Host

busy week, huh?

Dave Knuth

Yeah, we're loading up the truck.

We're in full summer mode.

So we're delivering the beer all across Central Wisconsin today.

Radio Host

Very nice.

How

Dave Knuth

are

Radio Host

you?

Good, good.

Did you survive the storms?

Dave Knuth

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Yep.

Not too bad.

Um, I feel bad for our buddy, uh, Craig downtown.

He, uh, his, he had the branch fall on his car.

Oh,

Radio Host

yeah.

Yeah.

We had a neighbor.

Dave Knuth

Yeah.

I don't think that car is going to make it.

You know,

Radio Host

we had a neighbor south of Oshkosh that, uh, lost pretty much a quarter of his home to an old,

Dave Knuth

uh,

Radio Host

old tree.

So not good with, uh, I think they clocked the winds on Wednesday at 94 miles an hour in our area.

Dave Knuth

That's

Radio Host

fast.

Wow.

There was one, uh, as, as they were coming up into the Madison area, I saw on the severe studios chat with the civic network, 104 miles an hour winds.

Dave Knuth

Geez, that's like hurricane.

Radio Host

It is.

It is.

You don't want to be out on the water during that.

Dave Knuth

No, I'm glad I didn't have my spailboat out.

Radio Host

Yeah, you would have made it across the lake real quick.

Dave Knuth

Real fast, yeah.

Radio Host

So how is your new beer going for the 250th anniversary of America?

Dave Knuth

Oh man, we certainly did not make enough.

Radio Host

Really?

Dave Knuth

Yeah, it's going crazy, which is great.

We're brewing more.

We're brewing it as fast as we can, but yeah, it's a hot seller.

Which is which is exciting.

It's fun.

It's a beard that I'm passionate about so it's always nice when something works out, you know

Radio Host

Do you just have that at Canooths or are you delivering that elsewhere?

Dave Knuth

Oh, no, that's you can find that Let's see where deliver we delivered to Bind and rushes has it trouble pig and Oshkosh Let's see Christianity's pizza in what Tomah has it And these these are all on draft of

Unidentified Speaker

course

Dave Knuth

Um, and there's, there's a few others, uh, and then like Mike's wild boar has a bunch, um, festival foods, um, a lot of the Paley Wigley's crossroads market, high V.

Unidentified Speaker

Oh, wow.

Dave Knuth

You know, and six facts.

You want to pick some up and, and then of course we sell it in the brewery too, but yeah, um, it's on tap at a lot of places.

Radio Host

So where do your travels take you today with the beer wagon?

Dave Knuth

Well, we're going down to, uh, we're going to, we're going to be into Fond du Lac County.

We're going to.

down into Waupon area, Fox Lake, and then we're going to be, uh, Marcus Anne, Green Lake area, and then up to the Princeton, La Toma area, Berlin, and then we'll probably even dip into Winnebago County a little bit too.

Radio Host

Very nice.

Oh yeah.

So any live entertainment coming up, speaking of full swing summer?

Dave Knuth

Well, we're, uh, we're sponsoring, uh, Smart Mouth, um,

on the Village Green tonight.

So we got the summer concerts are in full swing and weather looks great today.

Unidentified Speaker

Right.

Dave Knuth

Which is nice.

And so we'll have our beer down there.

And then next Friday, we're bringing music bingo back, which was a hit.

We're doing it every third Friday of the month.

So next Friday is the third Friday.

So we're going to do music bingo, which was a blast.

Everybody was singing along.

We got an author signing tonight at the bookstore across the street.

So if you're looking to check that out.

And then we're gearing up for, I kind of mentioned it last week, but we're partnering with the Finnin' Feather on Sunday, June 28th.

Wonderful.

So you can find that Facebook event if you search on our page and I know they have it too.

Or you can just call the Finnin' Feather directly.

And you can get reservations for that, but I'm really excited about that.

I convinced the blight blonde to do that one with me.

So it'll be me and the blight blonde, um, servant beer.

And then they've got a great band from, uh, Nashville coming up and then it's, uh, the three hour boat cruise on the showboat, which is, I'm not, I've never done, but I'm, I'm very excited.

Radio Host

Oh, it's fun.

You know, and the nice thing about that, and it's like the escapade on green lake, even if there is rain in the forecast, you just go down below deck into the dining area.

Dave Knuth

Yeah.

Yeah.

And the nice, that boat is big.

Um, so they can accommodate a lot of people and we'll have plenty of room down on the deck if, if weather's, but I already dialed up, I already put the order in for the sunshine at 80 degrees.

Radio Host

Oh, absolutely.

Yeah.

So now are you going to bring your little mini bar with your half barrel?

Like you started Canoose Brewing Company with on the

Dave Knuth

boat.

Yeah.

I don't know what we're going to do if we're going to do, if we're going to bring the little jockey box, mini bar thing, or if we'll do bottles.

That'll probably be a game time decision.

Radio Host

There you go.

We'll see if it rolls on, right?

Dave Knuth

Oh, yeah.

I got to give a shout out.

Um, we had a great time on, uh, on Tuesday, we were out at La Sonia doing, uh, a video podcast slash promo video for those guys.

And we played some golf and, uh, our buddy, party Marty, um, who's an avid listener.

I think you know, party Marty, party Marty.

from ripping.

To know him is to love him.

So he's one of the Greenskeepers out there.

He's on the video.

We got the voice of LaSonia, our buddy Joe.

We golfed together.

He's a lefty, great golfer.

And we just had a blast.

Well, that'll be coming out pretty soon, folks.

We'll have to check it out.

It was a lot of fun.
