Our first stop was Old Sheepdog Brewery. Here, we met with co-owner Gus Delgado who showed us around and told us a bit about Old Sheepdog. The brewery opened in December 2019, right before the COVID-19 pandemic. The space is family- and pet-friendly, full of art and cozy. But what makes Old Sheepdog unique, you might ask? Their ever-changing flavors! All of the beer is brewed in-houseand incorporates flavors of the Borderland.

Next, we visited with Justin Gibson, owner of Aurellia’s Bottle Shop and Brewhouse, who explained his innovative process for getting the perfect beer, everytime. Aurelia is actually the name of an artificial intelligence, AI for short, that is capable of crafting beer for him and his team. According to Justin, this removes the human component of error to make sure things are perfect every time. Aurelia’s uses fresh ingredients to produce its beer and utilizes sustainable operations, reducing its carbon footprint. The brewery prides itself on being an ethical consumption based beer-maker.
