Episode 108 - Scott Hajduk (Bunker Brewing)

Episode 108 - Scott Hajduk (Bunker Brewing)

This week’s featured artist is Scott Hajduk. We came to learn of Scott through his work with Maine’s own Bunker Brewing, but not only is he a talented designer but a great DJ. A man dedicated to his craft who continues to evolve and teach himself new tricks of the trade whether it’s with his label or on the turntables.

We take time to discuss his evolution and his self taught style for both crafts. We touched on crate diving for rare records, how he came to love Vacationland and it becoming his home as well as what to expect when catching one of his sets and the related vibe which is dynamic and organic depending on the location, date or time of day. 

The two of us vibed and had a lot in common. Given my new interest in spinning, I was able to take in a lot about his perspective and approach to things albeit digital v vinyl. His love of music and being true to himself was very apparent and something that I really respect. I look forward to celebrating together in the future and sharing that positive energy.

Episode 100 - Colin Healey (Prairie Artisan Ales)

Episode 100 - Colin Healey (Prairie Artisan Ales)

This milestone episode features @prairieales Co-Founder @prairie_colin. Colin is one of the original artists atop our bucket list for guests here at the 16oz. Canvas and fitting to share with you as we break the century mark. Learn who showed him the ropes of art growing up, his love of music, how he creates each label to stand on its own and also how I thought he was the 'other' Colin Healey (also not of Colin Healy and the Jetskis). We keep it real and didn't edit out that embarrassment for all of you to enjoy as we break the century mark like a proper Lion.

Now a special edition like this would not be complete without another world class special guest. We connected with my good friend Dom 'Doochie' Cook of @Beerkulture about his upcoming book 'This Ain't the Beer You're Used To', Life and Perspective as well as Founders and being open to discourse and empathy for others. This Ain't the 16oz. Canvas You're Used To...

Happy Birthday to my baby sister Shannon. I would say today is the day I became a big brother, but don't want to take the focus away from her special day. Milestones galore today. Love you Shan.

Have a great weekend and thank all of you for being a part of this adventure. I was happy when we booked our first 12 pack and to be breaking the 100th episode today means a lot. We are often imitated, rarely included but continue to be one of the most original projects in Craft Beer. Our adjuncts our life, love, hard work and passion. We get better with age and continue to look to change the model. You don't want to miss what we have in store next...

Cheers to the weekend and the next 100.

Episode 99 - Rhiannon Yates (Structure Brewing)

Episode 99 - Rhiannon Yates (Structure Brewing)

This week’s featured artist is @rhisynsyster who is our first artist to grace the podcast stage by way of Australia. It’s really a great testament to the project and the community that we are building together. We came to learn of Rhiannon via her work with US-based @structurebrewing and her label for their Fuzz beer, but her work is much more vast. Her detailed line work and black and white style are incredible. As you know by now I have a soft spot for B&W pieces and her work really resonated with me.

This artrepeneur shares her story, passions and even is kind enough to explain crosshatch to me. An episode of hard work, passion and fun. She loves her job and it was clear throughout the episode that she has answered her calling and we wish her nothing but success as she grows the business and portfolio.

Episode 95 - James Yeo (Left Handed Giant Brewing Co.)

Episode 95 - James Yeo (Left Handed Giant Brewing Co.)

This week's featured artist is Brighton based artist James Yeo. We came to learn of James through his labels and designs for Left Handed Giant Brewing Co. We spoke with Yeo to learn about his story, love of art and creation and how he organized his files and helps to name the beers too. A fellow lover of music James shares with us a great project that he and his wife are working on to discover as well as deep dive weekly into new music. A lot of fun and sarcasm and great perspective into his work and insight into one of my favorite labels he made as a gift for his father in law. Enjoy this great episode as we continue to introduce you to great artists and designers from around the world here in Season 9.
