Northeast Beer/Spirits trip, July 17-24!
Greetings McGlassers! Big plans in store this week for The Happy Hour Guys - Mark, Jeff and Jimmy are outbound Sunday morning for some heavy shooting (and research - gosh, we love our jobs!) in the NorthEast: Vermont, Mass, and New Hampshire, to be specific. We'll be making stops at (are you ready?)
Otter Creek / Wolaver's Organic
5 Napkin Burger - Boston Location
...and that's just for starters!! Look for updates here throughout the week. This is going to be EPIC! Cheers!
We sat, we beered, we Beer Sessions Radio'd.
Well, that was fun. This tuesday the Historian Guy (Mark) and the Communicator Guy (Jimmy) had the honor and the pleasure of hanging out at Beer Sessions Radio (hosted by the Heritage Radio Network).
The Host:
Jimmy Carbone of Jimmy's #43 and the Good Beer Seal
The Guests:
Ben Granger of Bierkraft, in Brooklyn
Dave Brodrick of The Blind Tiger, in Manhattan
and Ron Lindenbusch, the Beer Weasel of Lagunitas Brewing,
and US!
Needless to say, we had an amazing time, laughing, talking about some amazing beers and beer issues, and of course, drinking some ridiculous Craft Beer. Beer Sessions Radio, y'all - give a listen sometime!
Roberta's Pizza!!
Communicator Guy here - In a true dash of Kismet, by a wonderful, strange coincidence, I'm in this fantastic place, which features great local food, wine, & some fine local brews on tap. AND, the Heritage Radio Network is in an adjacent building, where we will be appearing tomorrow, on Beer Sessions Radio! Life is good, Happy Hour Nation. Life is good.
Cook Out NYC
Hey all! Communicator Guy here, checking in from Governor's Island, (as in, why the F haven't I been out here before? Governor's Island) just a short FREE ferry ride from South Ferry at the southern tip if Manhattan. We're here today for FoodKarma's Cook Out NYC, a festival of grilled meat and craft beer like none we've ever seen. On tap are 4 varieties of Sixpoint Craft Ales, including the Righteus Rye, Signal Smoked Amber (!!), Belgian IPA, and the Brevity Belgian Wit flanked by meat meat meat from Incredible NY area restaurants literally as far as the eye can see! Jimmy Carbone (of Jimmy's #43, one of our favorite NYC bars) is hosting. A recommendation you can try at home: Sixpoint Signal with a barbecued pork Belly adobo. A can't miss summer treat. WOW!
Video episode #185, for 5 Napkin: Russell's Reserve 10 Year Bourbon.
Jimmy and Mark spend a little time at the Upper West Side 5 Napkin doing some Maximum Visibility Drinking with this fine Bourbon.
Video episode #184, for 5 Napkin: Brooklyn Pilsner!
When you have German Beer system installers in your brewery, and they're drinking your Pilsner at 9:30 in the morning... you're doing something RIGHT.
