Good, but not the best... a Dancing Gnome podcast

It feels great to be rolling into October with a new episode of GBNTB! This was the first episode recorded in the Dancing Gnome garden and we had the pleasure to be joined by JJ Rosemeyer of Smoke sandwich shop. Before we chatted with JJ, we took a look back at a quiet September in the world of Dancing Gnome. Andrew tells us about the first full month of having the garden opened and how it has affected business, as well as a quick update on the progress at the second location. Then, we look ahead at the month of October, with a big focus on the anniversary brunch that will be going down the first weekend. Next, JJ joins us to discuss how Smoke has been affected by COVID, which includes their change from a taqueria to a sandwich shop, how he came to work at Smoke, and much more. We finish the show with a round of buy/sell and then a quick Watch/Listen/Learn.

September 2020 with Dave Kushner of Trace Brewing

Summer is winding down and we are heading toward the best (IMO) time of year and with that comes another episode of Good, but not the best... a Dancing Gnome podcast. At the beginning of the episode, we read some new reviews submitted by listeners, two of which include acronyms that we guess the meaning of at the end of the show. Andrew reviews a quiet August in the world of Dancing Gnome, including the opening of their outdoor space and another Black Clouds release. Also, Andrew lets slip some info about an upcoming Barrel Aged Black Clouds release. We are then joined by Dave Kushner of Trace Brewing, which will soon be opening it's doors in Bloomfield. Dave tells us about his craft beer background in Boston, which includes opening Remnant Brewing and how that lead him to Pittsburgh. We also discuss his vision for Trace Brewing, the beers they will be brewing, their vocational program, and much more. We end the show by discussing the acronyms from the reviews before diving in to another round of Watch, Listen, Learn.
