In this episode of The BOB Happy Hour, Dave Plaza of Fire Pigs Designs saddles up to the bar with us to talk about how he is coping with the current state of business and how he is planning for life after the shut down.   In this episode you will learn:  Fire Pigs Designs can make medical Face Masks with free shipping, contact Dave at dave@firepigs.com or 360-270-1287. It's called the Service Industry for a reason, not to serve ourselves but find a need during challenging times and SERVE OTHERS. Use this downtime to review your mission statement, strategic plan, and review and improve processes - think about how you can be more efficient and where you want to focus your company for the long term; use this time to do the things you are normally too busy to think about. Work with your suppliers to place future order NOW. When things get back to normal there will be a massive influx of demand that will create supply chain bottlenecks, help your suppliers and their suppliers plan for the aftermath now.    Local Business Highlight: Double Barrel Taphouse 8308 NE Highway 99 Vancouver, WA 98685 360-433-9867 Buy a gift card   What we're drinking: Double Barrel Taphouse - Vancouver, WA Collaboration with Brothers Cascadia in Vancouver, WA and Hop Capital Brewing in Yakima, WA Space Cowgirl Hazy IPA, 5.8% ABV   Grains of Wrath Brewing - Camas, WA Chainsaws 'n Broomsticks, Double IPA, 9% ABV "West Coast Double IPA with flavors and aromas of pineapple, lychee and papaya."   Fortside Brewing Company - Vancouver, WA Orange Whip IPA, 5.9% ABV, 60 IBU “Who wants an Orange Whip? Orange Whip? Orange Whip? Three Orange Whips!” No fruit was harmed in the making of this “Juicy” IPA. In fact, there is no “juice” in this IPA. Rather, it is a real IPA that benefits from heaps of El Dorado and Mosaic Hops which give it it’s succulent aromas and flavors of orange, tangerine and grapefruit. We think this IPA predicates Juiciness! Uh, and if you don’t know, now you know."     Episode Links: Fire Pigs Designs Business Over Beer Episode #15 with Dave Plaza

The BOB Happy Hour #3 with Dave Plaza

It's just screen printing....or is it.  There is so much more to Dave Plaza than meets the eye. We learn about the challenges he overcame early on in his life to become a successful United States Marine, Law Enforcement Officer and now as Owner of Fire Pigs Designs.   Guest Beer: Stone Brewing - Escondido, CA  Arrogant Bastard Ale, 7.2% ABV "We believe that pandering to the lowest common denominator represents the height of tyranny—a virtual form of keeping the consumer barefoot and stupid. Brought forth upon an unsuspecting public in 1997, Arrogant Bastard Ale openly challenged the tyrannical overlords who were brazenly attempting to keep Americans chained in the shackles of poor taste. Since the very beginning, Arrogant Bastard Ale has reveled in its unprecedented and uncompromising celebration of intensity." Angie's Mystery Beer: Stone Brewing - Escondido, CA Xocoveza, Imperial Stout, 8.1% Abv, 50 IBU "First introduced as a limited special collaboration release with San Diego homebrewer Chris Banker (after his recipe won our annual homebrew competition) and Cerveceria Insurgente, it was an instant hit and fans began clamoring for its return. Seeing as how its amazing flavor profile is evocative of Mexican hot chocolate, featuring coffee, pasilla peppers, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and a generous amount of chocolate, we concluded it was the perfect stout to re-release in celebration of the Holidays and the entire winter season."
