58 - Sarah Real, Hot Plate + Pink Boots + MJF | Creating a safe + inclusive 3rd space, getting hands in literal + metaphorical dirt, brewing under desperate circumstances, #3 new brewery USA Today

<p>Sarah Real has felt desperation. Faced with unforeseen and unrelenting circumstances, she was left with a barely livable apartment, offering zero comfort, zero warmth, and zero safety. She was not deterred. She had spent her life in the dirt; always questioning, always learning, always challenging herself. In the ultimate face of this aforementioned desperation, Sarah went out to the store to buy a hot plate. </p><p>This hot plate was a necessity; she needed to be able to cook. It also provided her with an opportunity to keep her passion alive. It allowed her to keep brewing; keep working towards her ultimate goal of opening a brewery so that people who may not have a safe &quot;first space&quot; can have somewhere safe to be. </p><p>Of course, she named her brewery Hot Plate. It is a symbol of her journey. It is a reminder that we are all on our journey full of baggage. She hopes you can leave your baggage at the door and find your &quot;third space&quot; within her brewery’s walls.</p><p>Hot Plate links: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hotplatebrewingco" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">IG</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hotplatebrewingco" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">FB</a>, <a href="https://www.hotplatebeer.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">website</a></p><p>Beer People links: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/beerpeoplepodcast/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>, <a href="https://www.beerpeople.xyz/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,</a><a href="https://beerpeoplepodcast.printful.me/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">*new* merch store (!!!)</a></p><p>Snazzy theme music by Beer Person Gerry Mayer, check out more of his tunes <a href="https://gerrymayer.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>Artwork by the illustrious Lotus of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lotiecreates/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@lotiecreates⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p>
