we could all use some inspiration right now, and you've come to the right place. this show is all about good food, good people, and good living. ♪♪ on today's show, a local creamery breaks the mold. a century of style awaits at the de young. coffee brings acts of kindness to one community, a new way to experience uc berkeley. but first, every beer has a story at this local watering hole. ♪♪ ♪♪ i've never been a part of something where we've had so many people rooting for us to succeed and coming in and asking how can they support us? thanking us for being here. and i'm thinking, thank you for being a customer. whether it's, um, the great beer we have,
1:39 am
the beautiful waterfront, or just the location in the bay, people are actually paying attention to vallejo. i feel like we're a pillar in the community, and i feel like, you know, what we're doing through beer and history and good food, there's a real goodwill to the rejuvenation of vallejo and the resurrection of the mare island concept and mare island brand that used to be a huge source of pride. -right. i mean, mare island helped win the war, and it was gone for a number of years. and i like to think in a different way, we're bringing it back. ♪♪ we really want to do right by the history of mare island. it is our touchstone for all the branding that we do, and i think the local community really appreciates that it's not kent and ryan's excellent brewing adventure that we're putting together here. it is excellent beer, no doubt about it. but we're trying very, very hard to uphold the incredible heritage and history of mare island. we put some of that history on every can,
1:40 am
so every one of our beers is named after some, uh, historical event. on the side is a nice little 665-character blurb to get you just enough attracted to the story to then find out a little bit of more about, um, why mare island was so important to the bay area and to american history. we're kind of like a history company, and we just end up making beer to tell all this great history. [whirring] i was assistant winemaker at a winery called white rock, and that's where you make your road 31 pinot noir. i never made better wine than i did when ryan was on the job when he was there, so, we became fast friends, thought about moving the winery down here, but if you look around, there's these old historic cranes everywhere. and i kept thinking, my wine folks are not gonna wanna look at those cranes, but my brewing buddies, they're gonna be like, check out those cranes. ryan had gone to work for lagunitas. small brewery, little small brewery called lagunitas, yeah. um, and then that, uh, kind of helps understand that maybe beer is where we should go. yeah. so we got back together. i'd read the business plan. ryan had the brewing expertise, and we started up the brewing company based on that.
