In 2005, in a rather desolate block of Astoria, the doors opened to a friendly, homey beer bar that nailed down a corner of the neighborhood, and some say, paved the way for a renaissance in this part of NYC that now includes 5 Napkin Burger and a cluster of new fancy bars and restaurants. But these guys were there first.
The Guys make a swing out to Patchogue, Long Island (see episode for correct pronunciation) and enjoy a great interview with co-Founder Mark Burford. ;This is a place that not only is a great part of its community, it helped bring it back.
The Guys stop by Brooklyn Brewing (finally!) for a taste of some of their finest brews including this flagship beer that started it all. Craft Brewing History in a glass? You better believe it. Enjoy!
The Guys are shooting here today for an upcoming episode. Seemingly overnight, this section of Queens has turned into The Hotness, with the newly renovated Museum of the Moving Image, a 5 Napkin Burger restaurant, and this Funky Cool Craft Beer bar to name just a few. Wha ha happen? The Happy Hour Guys are on The case!
The 5 Napkin Burger Beer & Bourbon Blog strikes again! Jimmy and Mark recount some time in Frankfort, KY and the Buffalo Trace Distillery where they learned about this spirit, a wonderfully crafted Bourbon with big vanilla notes and a great history to boot.
Did you know that 5 Napkin Burger has its own house beer? ;They absolutely do, 5 Napkin Nut Brown Lager - this is a wonderful beer made exclusively for them by Kelso of Brooklyn, a favorite of The Happy Hour Guys.
The 5 Napkin Burger Beer and Bourbon blog continues to grow with the addition of this gem of a bourbon from the Jim Beam family. An 8 year spirit, Jim Beam Black is a favorite of many who work for Beam.
