This man has gone through so much recently. Like a whirlwind, from spending a sunday on the sideline for Bears vs Lions, to tragedy, to the @detroitlionsnfl flying him out for the Vikings Vs. Lions Season wrap up and now just back to everyday life. I love this man so much, he is a friend and a Craft Beer Legend. The best of the best, I hope you enjoy the conversation and hug the people around you a little tighter.

Here is an article from Jeff Seidel about the whole situation: https://www.freep.com/story/sports/columnists/jeff-seidel/2025/01/07/detroit-lions-fans-jeremy-schmidt-ben-roth/77490338007/

Meet Mike Pallen. Sure, he started a super successful brewery in Elk Grove Village 8 years ago or something like that, but he is also just a really cool person. He had a whole life before beer in the music industry locally and across the country. He loves cars, sneakers, awesome food, and he is also a damn fine family man.

He also brought some crazy good Oxtail Sandwiches from Dorrie's Kitchen with some Sweet Honey Siracha Wings. As seen on @super_goode located in Elk Grove Village. So tasty. Check out @Super_Goode on Instagram and Youtube and he has a Merch store etc... Love what he is doing on the local food scene.

My friend Jeff Beal is the absolute GOAT. Longtime railroad man turned Wine Expert, Craft Beer lover, and bourbon guy. Sure he may look like Coach Quenneville but the man can spin a yarn as good as anyone. I love talking to the guy with or without microphones running and I think you all are gonna enjoy Jeff as much as I do.
