• How Chris got started in the bar industry, and how his wife Stephanie got him hooked on quality beer
• The genesis of O’Bannon’s Taphouse and Blackwater Draw Brewing Co. (BWD)
• The challenges that O’Bannon’s and BWD are now facing during the pandemic with the inconsistent and unreasonable restrictions being placed on bars/restaurants in Texas.
