Wind River Ranch, 2026
“Footbahlin’ with Ben Roethlisberger”, Episode 131
We bring back the beer segment with two very different pours: a Western American lager that takes Ben straight back to Estes Park, Colorado, and a âBeer Flavored Beerâ sent in from Allusion Brewing Company in Pennsylvania. The beer talk turns into the kind of unexpectedly fun rabbit hole we love, including a legit question: why do some beer steins have lids, and what does that say about the history of drinking culture?
From there, itâs camp stories from Wind River Ranch and a faith-based retreat that mixes family time, teaching, worship, and the kind of challenge you canât fake. Ben tells the egg toss story that ends in a brutal loss at the worst possible moment, then walks through a 3:45am hike in the dark to a sunrise summit over 11,000 feet. We talk altitude, heart rates, carrying everyoneâs water, kids sprinting ahead like mountain goats, and the simple âmountains and valleysâ metaphor that sticks with you long after the trip ends.
On this Father’s Day…

âMy son has attended the camp 3 years in a row and loves it. It is so nice how Ben interacts with all of the kids and throws each of them a pass. Benâs kids are so cute and fun to watch as they run all over camp. We canât wait to attend again next year.â â Jennifer Algeri Lippmann.
“Hey wait! I think theyâre calling me to come out there! Whereâs my jersey?”
“Grandma, Iâll talk to you later! I gotta get my jersey on!! Daddyâs callinâ me out there, he needs me!!”
âThe toddler walked and ran around the camp like he owned it, racing in one of the smokehouse 40-yard dash heats and even trying out some drills.â â Megan Ryan, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
âSome day Iâm going to be an elite Super Bowl winning quarterback just like my dad…yup, some day!!”
