Dave Knuth (host)

We've got the windows open, the

Unnamed Brewery Guest

birds are chirping, the sun's out.

Life is good.

Happy Friday.

Happy Friday, Dave Knuth.

I brought the bike out.

I flushed a bird and I flushed a deer.

Oh yeah.

And if only I could do that when I'm hunting.

Dave Knuth (host)

Yeah, no kidding.

Oh, I'm on a radio road.

Oh yeah, yeah.

Very

Unnamed Brewery Guest

cool.

Great day for a ride.

Dave Knuth (host)

It is.

Unnamed Brewery Guest

It's good to be back in studio.

Dave Knuth (host)

Yeah.

How the heck are you?

I'm doing great.

You were a busy guy last week.

Busy,

Unnamed Brewery Guest

busy, busy this week.

This beer is going to taste real good.

I bet.

We just bottled it.

It's our Berliner vice.

Tart beer.

Oh, I like this one.

Yeah.

This is our summer special.

It's on tap.

We have limited four packs available for purchase.

Dave Knuth (host)

Is this in a

Unnamed Brewery Guest

couple stores and then also at the brewery.

Can you put the syrup

Dave Knuth (host)

in this one?

Yeah.

So this

Unnamed Brewery Guest

is the one we make the homemade raspberry syrup.

Dave Knuth (host)

Right.

Cheers.

Unnamed Brewery Guest

Kind of a funny story.

I got an email from a lady.

I think she's from Chicago.

I don't know for sure.

She said she lives a long way away, but... That's good.

Anyway.

Dave Knuth (host)

It takes your breath away,

Unnamed Brewery Guest

doesn't it?

So anyway, she emailed me and she said she has been drinking Berliner Weiss since...

Since communism wasn't in in store.

So she was buying She didn't live in Germany, but there was a there was a brewery in it would have been West Berlin that would export their Berliner vice because this style used to be the most popular style in Berlin up until like

probably the 50s.

I

Dave Knuth (host)

remember you saying that.

And

Unnamed Brewery Guest

that's Berlin, Germany, not Berlin.

Dave Knuth (host)

Yeah, not less in Berlin by double

Unnamed Brewery Guest

X. So anyway, she said that she would drink that and then the wall fell down or came down, you know, Reagan, Mr. Gorbachev,

Dave Knuth (host)

tear

Unnamed Brewery Guest

down that wall for all those millennials out there.

That's history.

That's

Dave Knuth (host)

our history lesson for the day.

Unnamed Brewery Guest

So anyway, she said once the wall came down, they didn't have to export anymore.

So she couldn't find it.

So she said she's tried so many styles and she said our beer, this one is the most authentic she's ever

Dave Knuth (host)

had.

Unnamed Brewery Guest

Wow.

Compared to that

Dave Knuth (host)

one.

That's

Unnamed Brewery Guest

a good testament.

I was really

Dave Knuth (host)

thrilled.

So what's the furthest south towards Chicago that you would carry it?

Unnamed Brewery Guest

Well, this one we won't it's just local.

Dave Knuth (host)

Yeah, but yeah, we've got no you have the you're in the bowling alley in Milwaukee, right?

We're at causes many bull.

Unnamed Brewery Guest

Yep.

Unnamed Brewery Guest

Jake's Village Bowl, which is a cool bowling alley kind of an old school bowling alley

Dave Knuth (host)

kind of like a generations or yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Really cool.

Unnamed Brewery Guest

Jake's a great guy.

They have a nice outdoor patio.

They do live music for the summertime.

So that's in Brownsville.

That's what I got.

That's

Dave Knuth (host)

Hey, there's a lot going on and ripping.

Unnamed Brewery Guest

Dave Knuth (host)

music,

car show.

You can get wristbands at the brewery.

We're selling wristbands if anybody wants to get some.

Yeah, you can walk down to Barlow Park.

Unnamed Brewery Guest

And then Cherry Pie plays tonight at the Village Green.

Boy,

Dave Knuth (host)

it's gonna be a crazy

Unnamed Brewery Guest

night.

You know, and the best part about it is, is you can get a blue-eyed blonde at all of those spots.

I was just gonna ask.

Actually, a blue-eyed blonde and a red house ale.

Dave Knuth (host)

Yeah.

Can you walk from point A to point B?

Yeah, I think that

should be like, that should be the goal for anyone listening.

You know,

Dave Knuth (host)

you can walk.

If you make it.

Unnamed Brewery Guest

Yeah, you can start at the brewery, do a little bingo, and then mosey on down to Village Green.

and then check that out and then just finish the night off at the carnival

Dave Knuth (host)

down at Rippon Fest at Barlow Park.

Take it right on the Ferris wheel with you.

Unnamed Brewery Guest

Dave Knuth (host)

And then

Unnamed Brewery Guest

just maybe just sleep in the park that night,

Dave Knuth (host)

pitch a tent.

They just got benches all over.

They get the slides and stuff.

You can just lay on there.

Yeah.

Yeah, the weather's supposed to be nice.

I think maybe Sunday it looks like maybe a chance to rain, but for the most part

Unnamed Brewery Guest

it's going to be great.

Of course it'll rain on Father's Day.

Dave Knuth (host)

Well, you know.

First day of summer, why not?

Why not?

Unnamed Brewery Guest

Greg.

It was a funny skit.

Um, he was.

It was a bit about Father's Day, and all he wanted to do was golf.

He just wanted to go golfing.

And his wife, and she was a very sweet wife, but she'd always plan these SeaWorld excursions.

Just the last thing.

Because, you know, she's thinking, oh, he wants to be with his family.
