Today’s guest is redefining what it means to distill legacy and precision — one bottle at a time.

He’s a military veteran, a Bronze Star recipient, and the visionary founder behind Porta Ye Vodka — a spirit crafted from French winter wheat, artesian water, and pure dedication.

Today, I’m sitting down with Marcus Wyatt, the mind and muscle behind Windy Bridges Brewing — a name that already sounds like it’s got a story behind it. Marcus is part of a new wave of brewers redefining what community and craft beer look like, bringing flavor, identity, and creativity to every pour.

We’re talking about how he got started, what inspires his brews, the wild experiments that didn’t quite make it to the taproom, and what it means to be a Black brewer building bridges — literally and figuratively — in today’s beer scene.
