The Guys pay a visit to central Pennsylvania's wine country and get a behind the scenes look at the Twin Brook Winery. Situated amidst rolling farmlands and housed in a 19th century barn, Twin Brook is producing some excellent wines in a family friendly setting.
The Guys make a trip across the galaxy (or maybe just across the valley) to visit this nexxus of counter-culture coolness near Aspen, Colorado. Not only does the Tavern boast a long list of dignitaries that have wandered under it's Flying Pig laden ceilings, the place boasts great drinks (local brews and fantastic margaritas) and the food is top notch and sourced locally whenever possible. The history is there as well - tacked, stapled and glued to the walls wherever possible. Throw in an alien abduction, and well, trust us folks - the Woody Creek Tavern may just be the universe's idea of the perfect bar.
Well, last week we showed you the facility and the beer being made, and this week WE GET TO DRINK IT! Woo hoo! In addition to their fine brewery, Victory has a newly renovated restaurant facility that can service up to 300 people at a time; and, seeing as after our tour we felt we could drink enough beers for about 50 people, there was still plenty of space. Join Jimmy, Mark, and Andrew as they sip the incredible beer (from a stunning array of beer styles), sample the fantastic food, and watch the most gorgeous Growler Filler in all of Christendom. You'll be truly Gobsmacked.
Mark, Jimmy, and special guest cameraman Andrew Kindig make a stop off at Victory Brewing in Downingtown, PA, where the water resembles Munich's and the beer comes in nearly every style imaginable. Co-Founder and Co-Brewmaster Bill Covalesky leads a tour of Victory's BrewHouse, a true wonderland of suds where it seems nearly any type of beer is a possibility. Enjoy this 'soup-to-nuts' run through everything from the Hops Freezer to the bottling line. Keep your eyes peeled for Oompa-Loompas!
The City that Never Sleeps wakes from a rare slumber in this episode featuring the New York Spirits Awards, NYC's inaugural International Spirits competition. Mark and Jimmy spend some time with Adam Levy and Dori Bryant, the co-founders of the competition, as well as the panel of learned judges. 300 different liquors in two days? Winners, Tension, Drama? Pure New York. Count us in!
In a departure from our usual Dog and Pony Show (woo hoo Pony Bar) Jimmy takes a trip up Mount Shasta (14,162 feet) in Northern California accompanied by Matt, Nate, Yusef and Mike - this is Extreme Drinking of the highest (tee hee) order. Apologies for the sound and video quality, this was not our usual rig - we were shooting with a camera the size of a deck of cards! After 8 straight hours of climbing will anyone actually WANT to have a drink? We'll see. Head up the mountain with The Happy Hour Guys!
Mark and Jimmy find a real reason to celebrate in Midtown Manhattan with the arrival of The Pony Bar, an oasis of American Craft Beer on 45th and 10th. Owner Dan McLaughlin's inviting space features 20 draft lines of beer and two cask ales that are always rotating, providing for new taste experiences every time you come in the door. Add to that the Pony All American Club, their Brewery Tours, a solid kitchen menu and a great staff, and you've got a place that's sure to be in New York for a long, long time. If you're within a hundred mile radius, saddle up and head over to The Pony. Cheers!
