The Happy Hour Guys look back on 2019 (and Mad Princes)!

Our yearly tradition continues with an added bonus, a visit to Pennsylvania’s Mad Princes Brewing!

Once again, we celebrate where we’ve been in the vast landscape of American Craft. What we’ve seen, what we’ve sampled, and most importantly, the people we’ve met. What a year for us, with visits to states across the Union:

Other Half Brewing

Big aLICe Brewing

Walking Tree Brewery

Great Lakes Brewing

Neir’s Tavern

Barbarian Brewing

We also managed to accomplish the FIFTH beer in the Broadway Brews Project, a collaboration with Come From Away and Five Boroughs Brewing, to benefit the wonderful folks at Tuesday’s Children. Now streaming on the STAGE NETWORK!

2019 was a fantastic year, and 2020 looks incredibly exciting, with Mark winging his way across the USA on a National Tour, and Jimmy holding down the fort on the Eastern Seaboard. Can’t wait. Enjoy our lookback on a wonderful year.

Creating community (and a bunch of medals): Walking Tree Brewery.

On Florida’s Treasure Coast, every now and then, gold washes up on the beach. And sometimes, it pours out of the taps! Walking Tree Brewery is barely 3 years old, and from local contests to national (GABF) their beers are winning medal after medal - very few startup craft brewers we've ever met have garnered this many accolades in such a short period of time.

As luck would have it, Vero Beach is also home to Riverside Theatre, where Jimmy just happened to be playing Henry Higgins opposite Kristen as Eliza Doolittle - and on this fine day, the cast and crew (and JAKE!) came out to help with the shoot. Join The Happy Hour Guys out by the former Naval Air Station, where this brewery, in the words of their bartending staff, "is taking names!"

Video #301: Looking back on 2014! (For FunZies.)

The whole Happy Hour Guy crew gets involved in our yearly tradition of looking back over our favorite stops of the previous year. And as we're on the threshold of our 300th episode (which will drop in 2015) this one, which is OUR SEVENTH (!!) is pretty special.  

Press play for a look at where we've alighted in 2014, with special guest appearances by rock star brewers, the Amish, and Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper. Cheers, Happy New Year, and here's to a great 2015!

Video #283: Fighting the Craft Fight - Cigar City Brewing.

It's simply great to be a Happy Hour Guy. Everywhere we go we get to watch, and partake in, the remarkable dance that Craft Beverages and the communities they inhabit create together. A terrific example is Cigar City Brewing in Tampa, Florida:

However, State liquor laws across the country influence whether this dance will be smooth, or just plain jerky. Press play to learn about the good fight - and great Craft - coming out of Cigar City. Cheers!

Video episode #108: Getting the Key to the Kingdom at No Name Pub!

The Guys venture just about as far south in the continental USA as is humanly possible... no, not Key West, but Big Pine Key, just a few miles north. And well off the Overseas Highway, nestled in a green corner well traveled by diminutive Key Deer, sits the No Name Pub, a haven for stories, history, great pizza, and a look at Old School Florida Keys that has almost disappeared. Enjoy!
