Brad Klopfenstein in for Casey today, Kevin's here. And for those of you who may not know,

0:05.9

oh my gosh, yes sir, thank you so much. Brad, Brad about what was this? This must have been

0:13.6

probably two years ago in earnest, entered into a new business venture. Is that right? Is that

0:20.9

the time frame? So two years ago, two and a half years ago, I acquired the trademark to an old

Indiana beer brand called Alps Brand. So this was big in the 70s, right? Big in the 60s and 70s.

0:32.4

Yeah, it wasn't brewed since 1978 when it went out of business. So I worked real hard for about

1:29.6

In fact, Johnson County is probably our largest market rate. Now you brought us a little cold

1:35.6

Alps Brow. I was actually wearing my Alps Brow t-shirt yesterday. I dirtyed it. I didn't think

it through. It should have worn a soil today. I wear it all the time. My wife will vouch for that.

1:44.4

And I would like to if we can real quick, because I know we got to get to a break, but I'd like to
