Episode 369: We Love Local

This one was recorded on March 2 in Tombstone, Arizona, the day after our gig at Tombstone Brewing Company. Before heading out for Kingman, we spent the morning talking with some of the local business owners, all of them passionate as hell about what they do and full of great stories. We sat out on the brewery patio with taproom manager Don Phillips and owner Matt Brown (via phone), talking about how Tombstone Brewing got started, how it’s grown, and what makes the place tick. We loved this venue from the jump... great people, GREAT beer, and just a great atmosphere all around. While talking with Don and Matt, we also got to meet Ritchie Rhinehardt of Dick’s Diner, the food truck on the patio. Ritchie’s a musician too, and it shows in the way he talks about food: meticulous, hands-on, and serious about doing it right. KILLER food (we can all vouch for that), and a perfect match for the brewery. Before all that, we stopped in at Cowboy Coffee right down the street and talked with Jay Kearney, who opened the shop with his brother Tim last fall. Jay’s got deep roots in Tombstone, so along with serving the best coffee in town, he had some great stories about the area and the building itself. This was only our second time playing in Tombstone and it already feels like home. Can't wait to get back and see all our new friends again.
