COVID conversation: Heading to Iowa, and Wise I Brewing!

COVID Convo #3: Gun Hill Brewing.

Time to start checking in on some of our favorite breweries, to see how they're handling the fallout from the COVID19 pandemic.

COVID Convo #2: Julia Herz of the Brewers Association!

As the shutdown continues and communities (and especially BEER communities) look toward reopening, changing, and surviving, Mark and Jimmy welcome a treasured guest to the show - Julia Herz, the Craft Beer Program Director at the Brewer's Association, a national nonprofit trade group that represent the majority of craft brewers in the United States. How does she see the Craft Beer landscape changing? What kind of world are we headed for? Press play and let's chat.

COVID Convo #1: Ohio, and Scotty's here!

In the face of an incredibly changed world, The Happy Hour Guys keep on keepin' on. Time for some COVID conversations!

We start with a reunion of our 'Original Three' Happy Hour Guys, and a look back to simpler days. Also there’s an update on where everybody is, and some fine brews being made in the Midwest including Seventh Sun Brewing in Columbus, OH.

Let’s zoom it up, y'all - Scotty's here!

Alewife Brewpub: Let's ketchup, six feet apart.

Catch up? Ketchup? There’s a word for it around somewhere….

And why ALEWIFE?

In these times, why show video of gathering to drink absolutely terrific beer? Because, during these days of social distancing, it has perhaps NEVER been more important to support our Local, and our Local Craft friends. Many still offer curbside pickup; if your state allows it, order online and have it delivered; but our friends need us more than ever.

See you at Alewife!
