61 - Erika + Cheyne Tessier, Origin Beer Project | Like-minded creators building community one small step at a time. Learning from their elders and a hands on approach. Discovering their found family.

Erika and Cheyne, founders of Origin Beer Project, fit together like puzzle pieces. He was raised by his single mother and a tribe of strong women. She was raised by her father surrounded by four brothers. He was a born builder, tinkering with legos and other blocks from a young age. She learned to be assertive and loud, helping her survive in a male-dominated industry. They both have always valued the process of creating from scratch, a trait passed down from hard-working grandparents. While they both had a strong family foundation, they have taken to their second family, and more broadly, their community of Providence, Rhode Island. Origin Beer Project is a byproduct of that communal support. They are builders. They value the process of creating from scratch. They are puzzle pieces, completing each other with complimentary upbringings. Origin is an amalgamation of it all.Origin Beer Project links: IG⁠, 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 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@lotiecreates⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Photo credit for episode art: Edible Rhody
