Uprise Brewing Co. | Episode 28

We are stoked to sit down with owner-manager Ryan Hare and Head Brewer Riley Elmer of Uprise Brewing Co. At their core, Ryan and Riley are beer guys and they also snowboard! We’re super excited to share awesome stories and insights from the brewery that supports us. Uprise Brewing Co. was founded in 2022 by Jonathan Sweatt and brothers Ryan Hare and Brandon Hare. Uprise was built from a shared love of beer, food, art, and community, along with a shared vision: to create a place where great beer, scratch-made food, and good people come together. In this episode we talk beer, branding, snowboarding, community, and what it takes to build something meaningful here in Spokane. Support our community, support local, support Uprise Brewery!

Nick Strother | Episode 27

Nick Sto has become a well-known rider in Spokane and North Idaho. He currently lives in Sandpoint and has spent the last couple of winters working at Schweitzer, with summers back in Wallace. He recently had a standout part in Jib Junk's: Fuck You Pay Me. When he’s not out in the streets stacking clips, you can find Nick traveling in search of powder. He’s a bit of a man of mystery, every time you meet up with him, you learn something new. Some might say he’s Wallace’s version of the Dos Equis guy: a worldly adventurer with many accomplishments, “The Most Interesting Man in the World.” Over the past few years, he’s also helped host the Wallace Ski Jor event. Nick is super kind, humble, mysterious, and a sneakily good all-around rider. We get into Reno, Tahoe Pigs, tweakers, gambling, that "one night" in China and much more!  Keep up with Nick Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@nickstr0 This Episode sponsored by Bear Ridge Trail Builders & Excavation  Website: Bearridgetrails.com  Instagram: @bear_ridge_ Jib Junk FYPM:  https://youtu.be/TP9WdBe3GGwsi=00AiA2vR_2yadOp1 Hosted by: Wild Cannons Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@wildcannons Email: ⁠⁠⁠wildcannonspodcast@gmail.com Partnership: Uprise Brewing Co.

Carl Montoya | Episode 26

Carl Montoya is a Mission Ridge local, an elite powder chaser, with killer edge control, and rides with a timeless style. He’s a world traveler, experienced Baja racer, mountain biker, and someone who consistently rides bell to bell. He’s still competing in banked slaloms, stepping onto podiums, and bringing home hardware. Carl has a deep passion for boards, bikes, Toyotas, gears, punk music and, most importantly, his family. He’s a beast when it comes to hiking into steep, spicy backcountry zones and on the wave in Chelan. He’s someone you trust in the sidecountry at Stevens Pass and behind the wheel while road-tripping through South America. Fun-loving, hardworking, and driven, we’re only scratching the surface of his story! We’re beyond fired up to have one of our close friends in the studio!

Jake Rose | Episode 25

Jake Rose was a standout rider for Pistole Boardshop who made the jump from riding the terrain park and streets of Spokane to becoming a sponsored rider. He always oozed style and carried himself with a humble swagger. He is loved by so many, and everyone you ask will say he is genuinely one of the nicest guys around. Super loyal and incredibly kind. Then there’s the image of Jake with missing teeth, long hair, a big beard, drinking 40-ounce beers and smashing bottles on rails… and yet somehow, he was—and still is—one of the most approachable, fun loving, down-to-earth guys on the mountain. This is a can't miss episode!  Keep up with Jake Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@rakejose421 Hosted by: Wild Cannons Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@wildcannons Email: ⁠⁠⁠wildcannonspodcast@gmail.com [wildcannonspodcast@gmail.com]   Partnership: Uprise Brewing Co.
