The Nest Barbecue - Drink Local Give Local

The Nest wants you to Give Local. Drink Local.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year.  That’s what they tell us.  Not a bad mantra to live by, even in 2020.  However, many families struggle at this time of year getting all the cool gifts their kids want Santa to bring them.  The Nest teamed up with MUST Ministries and several local breweries and distilleries to have an awesome tap takeover and toy drive to help those in need.  With each wrapped toy brought to the event attendees got a raffle ticket for some awesome gift baskets from participating brewers and distillers.  Nice.

We were on site at the event to enjoy the festivities and talk with some of the participants…

The Nest Kennesaw

Adam Silverberg and Monroe Shiestel from The Nest joined us to talk about the event, what to expect on a visit to The Nest, smoked ‘gator, and their sister company – Apotheos Roastery. (Expect more in Aptoheos in 2021)

Burnt Hickory Brewery

We’ve had Burnt Hickory Brewery‘s Scott Hedeen on the show many times.  He’s a great talker with great stories and a great friend.  However, Scott isn’t the man in the driver’s seat this time.  BHB’s new CEO Brandon Baessler and Social Media Manager Amanda Banker sat down to chat about the brewery and what’s coming in the new year.  Brandon was a bit guarded in what he shared but he said expect more bottle releases from the brewery, some old favorites, and some new brews too.

Lazy Guy Distillery

Brand Ambassador Elizabeth Lalvani joined us to talk about the history of Lazy Guy Distillery and their building, taking your time to make bourbon, snow cream, and what’s coming up from the distillery.
