I've sat down and had a few beers with this episode's guest on a few occasions, both in my hometown and his. And each time I have, I remember our conversations with a smile on my face, but I also don't really remember our conversations as well as I should. Perhaps it's my memory, or maybe it's…

I remember when I first heard about the name of this episode's brewery, I gravitated towards it. Why, you may ask?

When we talk about craft beer and the people involved in the industry, we often focus on the brewer. This is fine; I guess they are the makers of the liquid that we adore at the end of the day, but there’s more to the industry than that. Case in point, tonight's guest, his company, is one of…

Ep. 170 - How To Start A Brewery In A Country Town With 450 People! With Paper, Scissor, Rock Co-Founder, Marty Schoo.
How did you settle arguments as a kid? I remember things like drawing straws, holding a rock behind your back and picking which hand it was in and the classic chant of Ip Dig Dog Shit, Too Bad You Are Not It…but nothing was quite as cool as Rock, Scissor Paper. Well, that’s what we called it as...
