After building a following in St. Charles County, Good News Brewing is expanding once again
Slated to open this summer in the Post Commons building (300 Alby) in Alton
the brewery will mark the brand’s sixth location—and its first franchise location—with more Good News on the way
Louis Dining In and Dining Out newsletters to stay up-to-date on the local restaurant and culinary scene
Dan Tripp and Matt Fair opened the first Good News location in O’Fallon
the Alton franchise marks the beginning of a new chapter in the brand’s community-first model
“My one goal for the year was to find a franchisee,” says Good News co-founder Dan Tripp
who started the brewery alongside Matt Fair in 2017
and I just wanted to find one person who was willing to open a franchise.”
coffee and collaboration.” So when Halter decided to add beer and pizza to the mix
“I went out there January 1,” recalls Tripp
Here’s where you could do beer lines
Here’s where you could do a bar—just giving him my opinion on the build-out
‘Do you have a name for your pizza business?’ He’s like no
‘Do you have a recipe for your pizza?’ No
‘Do you know how to do draft beer lines?’ No
‘Do you know much about beer?’ No.”
The next words out of Tripp’s mouth sealed the deal: “Well then
The result is a partnership between Good News Brewing and the Lantern Network
The Alton location will operate out of the existing Post Commons building
which already houses a coffee shop and event venue
“We are hoping to be open early summer,” says Tripp
We’ve got to run some beer lines and hook them up.”
The Alton location won’t brew beer on-site
beer will be delivered from Good News’ production facility in Augusta via an Illinois distributor
we had to find an Illinois distributor,” Tripp says
“Now this allows us to expand our footprint of distribution as well.”
Like Good News Brewing’s other locations
the Alton location will offer a well-rounded tap list
from the citrusy Local 636 Hazy IPA to the malt-forward Dirty Laundry Brown Ale
Fans of richer brews can try the Hazelnut Coffee Milk Stout
while lighter fare includes German wheat ale called Pastel
Tripp hints that more Good News locations are in the works
Tripp says the brewery is taking a balanced approach

Alton’s work is gilded by his everlasting commitment to art
Although being one of the few next gen male supermodels around may seem lonely
Alton Mason is swimming comfortably in a sea of plenty: plenty of accolades (including being crowned as Model of the Year five years in a row by Models.com and even becoming the first Black male model to walk for Chanel)
plenty of famous friends (having been spotted cheek to cheek with the likes of Naomi Campbell to Lenny Kravitz) and plenty of opportunities (recently portraying Little Richard in Baz Luhrmann’s musical epic Elvis)
Alton’s dedication to creating art through the medium of fashion and movement remains unfazed
thus making him season after season one of—if not

Food expert Alton Brown wrote a collection of essays and now he's on his final large-scale tour to promote it
We had the chance to chat with Brown about the new book
his love of Cranky Al's donuts and his appreciation of manual typewriters
well-known for his "Good Eats" show on the Food Network and roles with the network’s "Iron Chef America," "Food Network Star," and "Cutthroat Kitchen," is back with another live culinary variety show
the Alton Brown Live: Last Bite tour takes the stage at Detroit’s Fox Theatre
Last Bite is billed as the culinarian's final tour
He has often wowed live and TV audiences with his scientific approach to food and cooking and his explanations for why things work as they do
“We’ve built something very big this time,” he says
There’s even kind of a competition built into this.”
The food guru bills his live performances as a mix of “storytelling
who has a longtime interest in how science connects to food and cooking
says that he turned up the science dial by about 30% for the current show
“There was quite a bit more science in this show than we’ve done before,” he says
“I think that’s because I kind of made this one for me
I think I made the other three tours for the fans
because it’s the last one that I’m going to be doing like this
I really wanted to do what I wanted to do."
the Free Press caught up with Brown via phone to talk about the new show
His answers have been edited for brevity and clarity
QUESTION: What do you like about coming to Detroit
ANSWER: The high point for me on this tour
It’s a city that has a very specific kind of pride marker for their own cuisine and a vital kind of self-awareness of their civic identity
What is it that you like about the Detroit audience
Detroit is a city that has this sense of pride in coming back from the brink there for a while
And that changes the dynamic as well a lot
and I think that’s one of the reasons that the fans there in the crowds that we have in the Fox are so into it and so alive
We kind of have this record we keep of cities and how much they like to laugh
New York City being the least laughing town in the United States
And I would say that Detroit’s right up there with Dallas and a couple of others in being just very eager to laugh and be entertained
A: One of the reasons that I’ve focused so much of my energies over the last 10 years on the live performing is because
I don’t think we need more stuff to watch on our screens or tucked away in our homes
We need to be out in big rooms with a lot of other people
A TV camera actively sucks your soul directly out of your eyeballs
Audiences give back typically more than they take
And so being able to interact with audiences every night and kind of lay yourself bare in front of an audience every night is a wonderful
And the fact that I’m obsessed with kind of trying to get it right
all you really have to do is get it right once
but I have made it a point since first going on tour back in 2013 to hit as many of the spots as possible
And I have friends who are from Detroit and keep homes in Detroit and go back all the time
but my problem is that I’m really terrible with names of restaurants
I think that Detroit pizza doesn’t get enough credit
People outside of Detroit don’t talk about Detroit-style pizza nearly enough
… New York-style and Chicago-style get all the all the credit

He was honored to be part of beginning two wonderful God-honoring institutions in the Augusta area

and a founding elder (now Emeritus) at Christ Church in 2004
Both have grown at the Lord’s direction
The family wishes to thank those who have prayed for us during recent times
Lovingood’s wonderful caregiver in recent years
Their bond was special right from the start
we thank the staff at Harrington Park Rehab and at Affinis Hospice for loving him and caring for him
