A couple of years ago, I helped Jarrod Crooks along with Erin Antilla, Dan Quaile and others film film a Christmas movie. Last year, it sold out theaters in two cities. Now, it's on Amazon! Just in time for Christmas, check out The Big Gift on Amazon. We put a ton of work into this film, working outside in crazy cold temperatures. People were pleasantly surprised with the film when they saw it in theaters, so if you want to support local filmmaking, check it out!

The Big Gift An unemployed father must do whatever he can to make sure his son receives the gift he wants for Christmas. But when Santa steps in demanding his name be on the gift, the battle between an average father and father Christmas begins.

We’ve never had the Central Waters Brewing Company folks on the podcast but if anything makes me want to, it’s this beer. Hey, the dude abides man.

His Dudeness

Stout - Imperial / Double White
8% ABV

A velvety smooth White Milk stout with some pleasant aromas emanating from the roasted coffee and cocoa nibs that lay within. Maybe this isn't the type of beer you'd have at bowling league, but it's certainly the beer you'd have once you got home.

Just take it easy, friends.
