61 - Erika + Cheyne Tessier, Origin Beer Project | Like-minded creators building community one small step at a time. Learning from their elders and a hands on approach. Discovering their found family.

<p>Erika and Cheyne, founders of Origin Beer Project, fit together like puzzle pieces. </p><p>He was raised by his single mother and a tribe of strong women. She was raised by her father surrounded by four brothers. He was a born builder, tinkering with legos and other blocks from a young age. She learned to be assertive and loud, helping her survive in a male-dominated industry. They both have always valued the process of creating from scratch, a trait passed down from hard-working grandparents. While they both had a strong family foundation, they have taken to their second family, and more broadly, their community of Providence, Rhode Island. Origin Beer Project is a byproduct of that communal support. </p><p>They are builders. They value the process of creating from scratch. They are puzzle pieces, completing each other with complimentary upbringings. Origin is an amalgamation of it all.</p><p>Origin Beer Project links: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/originbeerproject/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">IG⁠</a>, <a href="https://www.originbeerproject.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">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="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠*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><p>Photo credit for episode art: <a href="https://ediblerhody.ediblecommunities.com/drink/drink-origin-beer-project/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Edible Rhody</a></p>
