🦏 CHEF KYLE’S FEATURE 🦏
“The Ryno”
House Smoked Chopped Brisket • Cheddar, Bacon, & Green Onion Cream Cheese Spread • Smoked Jalapeños • Grand Finale Sourdough
Story time…
It’s Ryan’s one year workaversary at Coopersville Brewing Company this week. Chef Kyle HAD to bring back the sando that threw gasoline on an already smoldering friendship. A little over a year ago, Chef Kyle had this sandwich and feature created for Ryno BEFORE he ever thought they would be partners here at OEP and CBC. The week that Chef decided to run the feature started out as any other week. Collabing with a mutual friend, Ryno, from another brewery, Pigeon Hill Brewing Company, on a dope and delicious food feature. By the end of that Monday, Coopersville Brewing Company was looking for a new head of beverage and brewing. 😳 The following day, CBC connected with their friend Ed over at City Built to ask for some advice working through a head brewer transition. Well, Ryno’s partner, Steph, happens to be a long time member of the City Built team and family. It did not take long for Ed to recommend a connection to Ryno to Jeremy at CBC. CBC was shocked to hear that bringing someone into the CBC fam as talented and respected in the West Michigan brewing world as Ryno is, would be possible. Jeremy and CBC jumped at the opportunity and asked Ryno to meet that night. They did, and had an amazing conversation. Ryno returned that Thursday to eat THIS sandwich and for a follow up conversation. It’s safe to say the sandwich and CBC vibes impressed Ryno. The following day, that Friday morning, Ryno officially accepted the position of head of beverage and brewing at CBC. 🥲
This legendary sandwich literally helped lure in a Ryno! How could it not?? Think a bacon wrapped and brisket stuffed jalapeño popper, but in sandwich form on locally made sourdough bread🤯
The week is off to a bit of a slow start. We’re hoping The Ryno will lure some of ya’ll here and turn things around for us🤞
As always, the features are limited and will be here till they aren’t, so come get some while you can!
Cheers!
