Our guest this week has not only been a huge help in what we're trying to accomplish here at Emmeff, but has also been an important contribution to the rise and growth of South Central. Gus, the co-owner of Old Sheepdog Brewery, came through to the HQ to talk about his brew oasis that he has built alongside his wife, Brisa, over the last four years. From collaborating with visual artists to celebrating the barrios of our border city, Old Sheepdog Brewery wears its roots on its sleeve, and thanks to the pod, we were able to learn about everything that goes into that process. Including what came BEFORE Old Sheepdog!
