Ep. 27: Arianna Auber on Family Business Beer Co. and other craft beer news

This episode might make you want a beer, a bar of chocolate or an afternoon spin at an ice rink. Beer/wine/spirits writer Arianna Auber talks about the latest developments in the local beer scene, including why "Supernatural" star Jensen Ackles picked Dripping Springs to get into the brewing business. She also explains why brewers have recently banded together to form a political action committee and which new breweries and brewpubs should be on your radar. Chaparral Ice has been at Burnet Road and Anderson Lane for more than 20 years, but about a year ago, hockey lover and coach Ryan Raya bought the facility. With the Winter Olympics around the corner, Raya came by to tell us what draws people to figure skating, hockey and, yes, even curling, and why Texans might misunderstand winter sports culture. Author, former Austinite and chocolate connoisseur Megan Giller schools us on all things cacao and how to enjoy chocolate in a new way. In this week's Webb Report, Eric Webb explains why the recent story about a judge hearing the voice of God in the courtroom went viral. And in A Toast, we recommend "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle," "The Good Place" and the book "A Man Called Ove." More info: austin360.com/loveaustin360 Learn more about your ad choices.
