Derrick and Jonathan had the pleasure of hanging with Mike Schraufnagel, Brewmaster at Stevens Point Brewery in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

The conversation explores the rich history and evolution of Point Brewery, one of the oldest continuously operating breweries in the United States. The discussion covers various topics, including the brewery's expansion and innovation in beer offerings, the introduction of non-alcoholic beers, and the significance of the new taproom as a community hub. 

Mike reflects on the brewery's origins, stemming all the way back to 1857 (Mike isn't that old though!). The logging industry of the Stevens Point area held a strong commitment to quality ingredients, while also looking ahead to future developments in their product lines. 

We explore the journey of Ciderboys Hard Cider, discussing the growth of the cider market, the creative naming of Ciderboys, and the brewery's innovative approach to flavors and seasonal brews. We delve into the importance of community events, the unique Conehead mascot, and the collaborative spirit among local craft beverage makers in the Stevens Point area. The discussion also highlights the brewery's operations, staffing, and future plans for product expansion, including sodas and their non-alcoholic offerings.
