It's always good to reconnect with old friends. And because the Happy Hour Gal's national tour was playing Baltimore, she and Jimmy were able to stop by Union Craft Brewing in Baltimore's Woodberry neighborhood. They have BIG NEWS! Click through to learn, and Cheers!
The pursuit of Great Craft has changed so much in the past 10 years - nowadays, most times it's not a question of will you find Craft, but just how good will it be? What a time to be alive - and we're happy to report that Crank Arm Brewing of Raleigh, North Carolina, is not only well located but is making incredible liquids. Named for the part of a bicycle that is the connection between power and speed, Crank Arm recently medaled at GABF, so OF COURSE we had to stop in. Hang out in their Art-saturated taproom and try a few with Adam, Jimmy and his Spam buddies. Cheers!
IT'S TIME TO PARTY! School of HOPS (and School of POP!) are canned and ready for tasting; join the Guys, the School of Rock Brew Crew, Carton Brewing, Sing For Hope, and the rest of the cast of School of Rock for the release of the second Broadway Brew in our Broadway Six Pack, brewed to benefit the good folk at Sing For Hope, and their mission to provide arts education to underserved schools. Cheers! #CraftBeerForGood
We're starting off the New Year with a healthy dose of caffeine and a lot more from Mighty Good Coffee in Ann Arbor, MI. Turns out coffee is as complex and interesting as any other Craft Beverage. Ever wonder what happens behind the scenes at your favorite roastery? Click play and get your buzz on.
It's time for The Happy Hour Guys' yearly tradition: Looking back on everywhere we've been in the past year! And 2016 was a doozy, with travels all over the USA including Texas, Montana, Michigan, Massachusetts, NYC...and speaking of NYC (and Broadway), 2016 was the first year of possibly our proudest accomplishment... THE BROADWAY BREWS PROJECT. Click play for a rundown.... and Happy New Year!
It's time for SCHOOL OF HOPS to hit the Brew Kettle, then the Fermentation Tanks!
THE DAY HAS ARRIVED. Let's head down to Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey (a short trip by fast ferry from Manhattan) to Carton Brewing, and brew the second Broadway Brew, SCHOOL OF HOPS! Join The Guys and today's Celebrity Brewers, Nehal Joshi and Jesse Swimm of the cast of School of Rock the Musical, as they get to work 'mashing in' on School of Hops. Big thank you to Augie Carton for hosting us, and to camera operators Justin 'Squigs' Robertson, Brad Burke, and Dane Agostinis! Cheers and enjoy!
The second Broadway Brew process gets underway as the cast of School of Rock the Musical meets up with brewer and owner Augie Carton of Carton Brewing, at Rattle N Hum West. But this night isn't just all fun and beer drinking, there are jobs to do: What kind of beer will the cast choose to make? What will they name it? And who have they decided that the beer will raise money for?
Each Broadway Brew is a THREE EPISODE SERIES: And for School of Rock, this is Episode One. Click onward to meet and learn more about some pretty awesome folks, and most importantly, raise money for a terrific cause. Cheers!
Many thanks to all the folks who helped out this evening, from Ashlee and Joe at Rattle N Hum West, to Erin, Brad, Jeffry, Holly and all the Broadway Brews fans. Let's BREW!
