Transcript excerpt

This Winnipeg coffee brand just lost thousands of dollars overnight. Let's go see what makes it worth stealing. Sheepdog just had thousands of dollars of product and equipment stolen on a trip to Saskatoon. Thankfully, nobody is hurt, but now they need us to step up. Sheepdog is a small Winnipeg coffee company built from the ground up by a local first responder, Sean Black. They cold brew their coffee for eighteen hours before infusing it with nitrogen to give it that smooth creamy finish. Double the caffeine with no crash. Roasted and brewed right here in Merced. Stop by their storefront open Monday to Saturday for a nitro cold brew on tap or grab a 12 pack to take home. You'll also find their cans at Sobeys, Safeway, and other local stores. And right no, they're running an exclusive promo only at their storefront to help make up some of what was lost. This week only, the more you spend, the more you get back in Sheepdog swag like stickers, tumblers, hats, and more. Sean and the whole Sheepdog team are the most genuine people you'll meet. Stop in, say hi, and let's show up for a local brand when they need us.
