TODAY’S PROGRAM September 11, 2018: TYLER DONAVAN/TRACY WADSTEIN-“FIGUEROA MOUNTAIN BREWING”
Pres. Scott opened the meeting at 12:38 PM with the usual introduction of guests and then gave the sad news that long-term member and Past Pres. Sandy Lubin has resigned effective immediately.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Pres. Scott announced that the monthly board meeting at the Arroyo Grande Hospital will be held this Thursday. Jeff Smith reported a ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place tomorrow for the new Pismo Beach Kompogas unit, which converts waste materials into fertilizer and natural gas that can be used to power the equipment. Steve Curry reported that Tommy Thompson’s operation in Los Angeles was not entirely successful and he will have to undergo additional therapy. Next week’s meeting will feature a spokesman for the elephant seals.
INSPIRATION DOLLARS:
Ashlea and Michael Boyer’s 16th  wedding anniversary will be celebrated on a business trip to Sacramento and they were each charged 70 ID’s after spinning the wheel. Anya Stanley’s birthday did not result in any ID’s because Pres. Scott paid her 10 ID’s for mistakenly thinking it was the September 10 birthday of her husband, who put on a surprise party for her. Jack Hardy’s September 4 birthday was celebrated by watching the Dodgers beat the Mets 11 to 4 so he was charged 30 ID’s. Jack added 20 ID’s for the 10,000 mile motorcycle trip (around a track) he will be taking next week. Edwin Fish’s wife Sandi is celebrating her birthday and he was charged 40 spin-the-wheel ID’s. Joel and Sarah Conn are celebrating their 8th wedding anniversary and he had a lucky spin-the-wheel of 0 ID’s.
PROGRAM: TYLER DONAVAN/TRACY WADSTEIN-“FIGUEROA MOUNTAIN BREWING”
Ashlea introduced Tyler and Stacy by stating that the Brewery started in Los Olivos in 2010 and has grown to a staff of 200 people with 6 taprooms. Stacy was raised in Fresno where she owned a pizza parlor before moving to the Central Coast and going to work for the Cliffs’ Restaurant . She has taken over the restaurant side of Figueroa Mountain Brewery on Grande Avenue, Grover Beach. Tyler began his career by working for a tanning salon from age of 16 to 20 (He stated that wow was that a good job.) He then worked for Pacific Beverage company for 14 years before being employed on the beer side of Figaro. The father and son team of Jim and Jamie Dîetenhofer founded Figueroa Mountain Brewery Company in 2010 in Buelton, which is still their headquarters, by opening their first taproom. They are in the stages of building a completely new headquarters building that will have the capability of producing 110,000 barrels a day including a new canning facility. They have won a total of 145 national awards including one for their Danish Red Lager. They closed the meeting by having those that wish to sample their Figueroa Lite, 101 Blonde, Lizard Mouth and Hoppy Poppy IPA (India Pale Ale).
