In this episode, Laura from Deusterbeck's Brewing Company shares the story of how she and her husband. Ben, transformed her family farm into a thriving brewery. We discuss their commitment to sustainability, the importance of family involvement, and the unique beers they craft using locally-sourced and grown ingredients.

The conversation also touches on their community engagement and collaborations with local agribusinesses, as well as the challenges and benefits of their location in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. Laura emphasizes the emotional connection to her farm and the legacy they are building for future generations - she is the 6th generation on the farm and is raising her kids to be the 7th.

When Derrick and Jonathan visited with Laura, her and her team were brewing with the Old World Wisconsin team, having a chance to see the "olden days" brewing process at work. You can get the Old World / Deusterbeck's collab, "Two Red Barns" on-site at Old World Wisconsin in the Tavern.

In this episode of Pour Another Round, we welcome Head Brewer Jeff from Titletown Brewing Company and Rochelle from Heartland Craft Grains. They discuss the unique collaboration between the two, focusing on the creation of the Gridiron Glory lager, which utilizes blue corn from Heartland Craft Grains.

The conversation delves into the farming practices Rochelle and her husband, Evan, use that prioritizes flavor, as well as the brewing techniques involved in creating the beer, and the future plans for both businesses. Listeners are encouraged to explore local breweries and the innovative products they offer.

Rochelle is a former Alice in Dairyland here in Wisconsin, so she is not new to traveling the state, this time to develop partnerships and sell their grain offerings.

Fun fact...Rochelle actually competed against Jonathan's wife, Amy, for Alice in Dairyland!

More about Heartland Craft Grains:

We're the Schnadts - welcome to our family farm and grain mill in Lodi, WI!

We're 4th and 5th generation farmers raising the next crop of farm kids and unique grains on our land.

This adventure started when we pondered the question, "can you grow corn for flavor?" The answer is YES!

Not only do we select grains with a reputation for flavor, but our farm practices also focus on creating healthier soil, in turn growing nutrient-dense and flavorful grains to be enjoyed in the kitchen with family and friends.

Terroir isn't just for grapes - you can taste the difference and depth of flavor from the silty soil of the Lodi Valley. Our grains range from heirloom blue and polenta corns to ancient grains including spelt and einkorn, and modern oats and wheat for pantry staples that perform.

We take great pride in transforming our grains into a delicious and nutritious ingredient from our family to yours!
