Craft Beer is its own festival

In this episode of Dadhouse, the dads welcome 4 Hands Brewery Beer Ambassador Jeremy Danner to the show. It should be no surprise that five dads love talking about beer, and some of us have the bellies to prove it. What’s the current craft beer scene look like and what kind of beer should you try to get into it? With a thousand different mixtures and flavors, there’s something for everyone. Dadhouse tries to get into it, so join us as we talk about beer, beer, beer! 

Stay at home dad round up

3:12--Who knew that Mick has experience growing hops? Also, it surprises none of us. Jump in here to hear our Iowan farm boy talk about what makes beer, well, beer. Take a deep dive on the link and learn even more about the iconic plant. 

3:44—It wouldn’t be a Dadhouse episode without one of us picking a fight. In this case, Shannon and Larry have a few words for Mike. 

5:00—The Dadhouse crew and their families went to the Kansas City Improv. They had a blast and Shannon took the stage to participate on a skit. And although he was nervous, what he was mostly worried about was if his pants were unzipped. We also want to give a shout out to Fat Sully’s for seriously one of the biggest pizzas we have ever seen. 2 feet across and goes well with craft beer, just saying. 

11:15—Take a minute to like, subscribe, and follow Dadhouse on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram. 

11:50—Before jumping into the topic, let’s set the record straight. Every dad deserves support and the question we get asked the most is where to find friendships. City Dads Group and the National At-Home Dad organization are your first steps. We get this asked this so much, Shannon wrote an in depth article about the best places and ways to find your dad community. 

14:54—We were lucky enough to go to HomeDadCon the last year and get advice from a great community. Here is this week’s contribution from Alex.

And take a minute to listen to his podcast I Love This Town, which is about Kansas City! 

19:42—The craft beer environment can be intimidating as hell to get into. There is a fear that gatekeepers are ready to drop your man buns right on top of you. Turns out this isnt’ the case at all as Jeremy answers the first question: Where do you even start? And what better place than trying some brews from 4 Hands. 

23:29—How does it work when a specialty beer is made? Is there a starting barrel count or do you just brew away?

42:14—4 Hands Brewery does some fantastic charity work and their City Wide Mission initiative has rasied hundreds of thousands of dollars for non-profits in the St. Louis area. These are the kind of companies we can all get behind.
