58 - Sarah Real, Hot Plate + Pink Boots + MJF | Creating a safe + inclusive 3rd space, getting hands in literal + metaphorical dirt, brewing under desperate circumstances, #3 new brewery USA Today

Sarah Real has felt desperation. Faced with unforeseen and unrelenting circumstances, she was left with a barely livable apartment, offering zero comfort, zero warmth, and zero safety. She was not deterred. She had spent her life in the dirt; always questioning, always learning, always challenging herself. In the ultimate face of this aforementioned desperation, Sarah went out to the store to buy a hot plate. This hot plate was a necessity; she needed to be able to cook. It also provided her with an opportunity to keep her passion alive. It allowed her to keep brewing; keep working towards her ultimate goal of opening a brewery so that people who may not have a safe "first space" can have somewhere safe to be. Of course, she named her brewery Hot Plate. It is a symbol of her journey. It is a reminder that we are all on our journey full of baggage. She hopes you can leave your baggage at the door and find your "third space" within her brewery’s walls.Hot Plate links: IG, FB, websiteBeer People links: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,*new* merch store (!!!)Snazzy theme music by Beer Person Gerry Mayer, check out more of his tunes ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artwork by the illustrious Lotus of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@lotiecreates⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
