LIVE with Sturdy Shelter Brewing: "Cheers to Community"

A "blind date" between two beer aficionados. A day spent praying and fasting. A wedding invitation with a familiar passage. A pre-designed logo featuring a familiar building. These are just some of the serendipitous moments that lead to Sturdy Shelter Brewing, and that made the founding of the brewery in Batavia, IL seem almost fated.

On this episode of Area Code: Batavia, recorded live in front of an audience, a conversation with Frank, Diane, and Oliver about the hopes, dreams, prayers, and fasting that led them to launch a brewery with a specific, unique focus on the "spirituality of hospitality."
