Episode 21: The Art of Gnomecoming
Recorded in the original Hopping Gnome Brewery ✨
This week, we're back where so many creative stories began. In Episode 21 — yes, our podcast can officially drink — Jen and Rachel settle into the cozy glow of the OG Hopping Gnome, now transformed into a festive Holiday Pop-Up Bar.
We’re joined by friend of the pod and Hopping Gnome co-founder Stacy Ward Lattin, who brings ten years of stories, laughs, cozy vibes, and behind-the-scenes brewery magic. We talk:
✨ The making of the new Holiday Pop-Up
✨ Exclusive seasonal beers + cocktails
✨ Gnome traditions (yes, including the Douglas Avenue Pale discourse)
✨ Why this tiny space still holds a big place in Wichita’s heart
✨ Holiday rituals, community, and the art of slowing down
Grab a festive drink, get comfy, and celebrate The Art of Gnomecoming with us.
