Video #145: Introducing the 5 Napkin Beer & Bourbon Blog!

Welcome, all!  With this episode The Happy Hour Guys begin a partnership with New York based 5 Napkin Burger, an upscale fine dining restaurant with an amazing craft beer and bourbon list that will knock your socks off.  In the coming months, look for us to be journeying to other 5 Napkin locations (they're coming to a street corner near you), to Bourbon Country, and to many of the breweries that make the Craft Beer that they feature!  We'll be bringing you the behind the scenes story of these fine beverages and pairing each liquid up with something wonderful off of the 5 Napkin menu.  Incredible burgers with craft beer?  Kobe beef hot dogs and barleywine?  Sushi and bourbon?  Let's try something new.  Enjoy!

Video episode #144: Blue Palms Brewhouse!

The Guys make another pass through SoCal and stop by the Blue Palms, a renowned craft beer bar right on the Hollywood walk of fame. Owner Brian Lenzo takes time for a chat, and gives us his favorite Bud story. Thanks to 'Stat Man' Jeff Scot Carey on the camera. Enjoy!

Video episode #143: A sit-down with Anat Baron of BEER WARS.

We're back in Hollywood, California at the Blue Palms Brewhouse (look for a full episode on them soon!) with a chance to sit down with Anat Baron, the Director of the Documentary Beer Wars. Anat gives us some inside scoop on the making of the film, including her take on where things are headed for the entire Beer Universe, including the new State of Budweiser. Join us for this great interview with a woman who helped change the public perception of Craft Beer. (Many thanks to Stat Boy Jeff Scot Carey on the camera.) Cheers!

Video ep #142: Wynkoop Brewing with Marty Jones.

The Guys stop by Wynkoop Brewing in Denver and have a nice chat with their featherfoot (why isn't it featherhoof?) Clydesdales, as well as our old friend Marty Jones, their head Cheersleader and Idea Man.  Find out why this place goes far above and beyond beer to community activism, reclaiming downtowns, and helping establish the future Governor-elect of the State of Colorado.  Cheers!

Video ep #141: Farewell Ruby's? Say it ain't so.

Recently Ruby's Old Time Bar and Grill in Coney Island, a just-past-Prohibition business on the Boardwalk, was given two weeks notice to vacate after sitting as a New York institution for over 80 years. An impromptu protest and funeral was held last Saturday. We were there.

Video ep #139: The Cruise Room.

The Guys make another stop in beautiful Denver Colorado at the Cruise Room, a classic martini bar in the Oxford hotel that opened the day Prohibition ended. Modeled to look like a lounge on the Queen Mary, this one is a can't miss. Enjoy!

Video episode #133: Making beer with Aspen Brewing Co, THE DRINKING.

The Guys complete this year's anniversary stop at Aspen Brewing by working the rest of the way through the Brewing Process with Rory Douthit, head brewer. And through the magic of film, we get to taste our creation! Will it be a flop, or the best Brown Bear Ale ever? Tune in and see! Cheers!
