Episode 512 - Noah Bissell, Bissell Brothers (Back in Maine)

Episode 512 - Noah Bissell, Bissell Brothers (Back in Maine)

Happy Monday, Thieves! We’re back in Portland, Maine, for one last show with repeat guest, Noah Bissell of Bissell Brothers. Bissell Brothers was conceived in November 2011 by brothers Noah and Peter Bissell, in response to Noah’s homebrewing obsession, and Peter’s interest and burgeoning experience in entrepreneurship and marketing. The brothers, who grew up in Milo, a small town in Central Maine, had no experience of any kind in commercial brewing or manufacturing, but they saw a hole in the market, both in types of beer, and ways to sell it, that was untapped in Maine, and spent the next two years on a crash course of personal and professional development to bring their ideas to fruition. The brewery sold its first kegs of The Substance Ale at The Thirsty Pig, where both brothers had worked during the company’s inception, on December 7th, 2013. Tune in and let us know what you think!

Episode 505 - Suarez Palatine Cleanser with Dan Suarez

Episode 505 - Suarez Palatine Cleanser with Dan Suarez

Happy Monday, Thieves! Suarez Family Brewery recently ran a post on their socials that grabbed the attention of both Augie and Holl. Rather than Dry January, why not order a case of beer from a local brewery, drink one beer a day, and recalibrate your senses and relationship with alcohol over the course of the month? (Link to order here.) We got Dan on the line to talk all about this inspirational. As SFB puts it, “The perfect treat for anyone looking to be mindful and exercise moderation - while getting to stop and savor something special. In a culture hell bent on excess and extremes this is an exercise in curiosity and care.” Tune in and let us know what you think!

Episode 504 - Ryan Dunlap, Argenta Brewing (Portland, Maine 2)

Episode 504 - Ryan Dunlap, Argenta Brewing (Portland, Maine 2)

Happy Monday, Thieves! We’re back in Portland, Maine, this week with Ryan of Argenta Brewing. Argenta is a brewery and tasting room in West Bayside and Portland, Maine’s only “lager beer saloon!” Ryan Dunlap, owner and operator, is originally from Nevada where the word, Argenta, first inspired him. Argenta was a silver mine in the 1860’s but quickly crumbled and now sits as one of the hundreds of ghost towns in the state. This silver mine was the namesake of Ryan’s college dorm, and thus a beer company was born. “What drives us here at Argenta is very simple: leave it better than you found it. We can all strive to leave everything a little better than how we found it.” Tune in and let us know what you think!
