Calgary street-wear icon Lex starts off this episode by sharing the success story behind Lex Ave. Later we're joined by Wild Rose alumnus and head brewer of Cabin Brewing, Jonas Hurtig.
Renovations at Lex Ave are complete and owner Lex tells us where it all began. Speaking to the value of positive intent and doing what you love, Lex's story takes us back to his first rides on the now-retired #26 Dover bus route and his night-shift kitchen job. Discovering they'd shared a highschool employer, Josh reveals his struggles as a bus-boy. Later Lex fills Josh and Jonathan in on new musicians and acts to watch for, his qualms with the Calgary promotion scene, and why he wants to leave a legacy by making the world a better place.
During the break, Mamma T tells us how she'd handle being approached by a younger suitor, and swaps stories with Josh about former jobs and customers.
When Jonas Hurtig of Cabin Brewing hops on the podcast he goes all the way back to the start of his brewing career: a home-brew batch with his dad at 17. As he reveals, his first few batches weren't much for taste, but like many professional brewers those first home-brews were just the spark for something much bigger to come. As a former member of the Wild Rose team, Jonas shares his thoughts on the collaborative nature of Calgary's craft beer industry, and discusses with Jonathan how beer flights are like a brewer's mix-tape.
