38: From Beer Gardens to Burrows: Building Authentic Spaces in Pensacola

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when you blend craft, community, and Belgian traditions? 🇧🇪@brettschweigert and @bethschweigert didn’t just start another brewery when they opened the doors to @oddcolonybrewing in 2019 on Palafox Street. They built a safe haven for beer lovers, a place both old and new friends could gather for storytelling and a community third place that is thoughtfully, beautifully designed. Since then, the couple has expanded their venture into East Hill with @theburrow.oddcolony, adding a full food program to go along with their locally brewed suds. From honoring Pensacola’s history to creating a space for markets, fundraisers, and important conversations, the Schweigerts are redefining what it means to be a local business. Our friends joined us on this episode of Practical Rebels to discuss their vision, intentions, and how we can create spaces that bring people together.
