On this episode of Bub’s Pub, Bryan Orr joins the fun as Dan welcomes Andy Wright—a big thinker who traded Silicon Valley for Hillsboro, IL and a seriously ambitious local adventure. Andy shares the story behind his renovation of the historic Red Rooster Inn, from taking on a well-worn building with plenty of residents and even more history to restoring it for a new chapter. Then the conversation heads downstairs—and into the brewhouse—as Andy talks about opening Red Rooster Brewing and Distillery, the equipment that can help produce both beer and whiskey, locally sourced ingredients, the science and art of brewing, and the patience required when the whiskey needs years before it is ready. Along the way, the crew keeps things lively with sports, local color, and the kind of friendly banter that pairs nicely with a fresh pour. It is a cheerful mix of old buildings, old friends, new brews, and proof that one bold renovation can give a landmark—and a community gathering place—something worth raising a glass to.
