The Guys fire up Part Two of their visit to Devils Backbone Brewing Company, this time taking a much closer look at the multiple award-winning beers this place is producing. ; Join Jimmy and Mark as they sit down with Jason Oliver, Head Brewer at Devils Backbone, and get the inside scoop.
Thanks to their trusty steed THURSON, (the Nissan) Mark and Jimmy find themselves at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, the home of the Devil's Backbone Brewing Company. One wouldn't expect to find such an award winning brewery here! In addition to being a worldwide rising star in the beer community (they've medaled 4 times in each of their first 2 years of competition at the Great American Beer Festival), Devil's Backbone is a steward of it's community, creating jobs, sourcing local foods and building materials, and hosting many charitable and artistic events. This place is a true gem. Join The Guys as they sit down with Owner Steve Crandall and Head Brewer Jason Oliver. Enjoy!

The Guys make a stop off in coastal Virginia at The Pub, a British style place that has succeeded in making the comfy corner London Pub appear on Virginian shores. From the great staff (including Beer Jesus) to the Beverage Bible, to the draft beers not seen much on this side of the pond, to some of the best Brit style eats we've had since London, this place is a true gem. Enjoy!
