The UPGRADES continue!
Hey folks! Yes, our wonderful friends at Blip.tv have made us a new show page (well, they've made everyone a new show page, but we think ours is better than most.) Have a look-see! http://blip.tv/thehappyhourguys
Most fancy. Keep your eyes peeled for some secret sauce that will start here and end at blip, and vice versa. Woo hoo!
Video episode #174: Sunswick 35/35!
In 2005, in a rather desolate block of Astoria, the doors opened to a friendly, homey beer bar that nailed down a corner of the neighborhood, and some say, paved the way for a renaissance in this part of NYC that now includes 5 Napkin Burger and a cluster of new fancy bars and restaurants. But these guys were there first.
Video episode #173: Blue Point Brewing; a station wagon and a dream.
The Guys make a swing out to Patchogue, Long Island (see episode for correct pronunciation) and enjoy a great interview with co-Founder Mark Burford. ;This is a place that not only is a great part of its community, it helped bring it back.
Video episode #172, for 5 Napkin: Brooklyn Lager!
The Guys stop by Brooklyn Brewing (finally!) for a taste of some of their finest brews including this flagship beer that started it all. Craft Brewing History in a glass? You better believe it. Enjoy!
Video episode #171, for 5 Napkin: Buffalo Trace Bourbon.
The 5 Napkin Burger Beer & Bourbon Blog strikes again! Jimmy and Mark recount some time in Frankfort, KY and the Buffalo Trace Distillery where they learned about this spirit, a wonderfully crafted Bourbon with big vanilla notes and a great history to boot.
Video episode #170, for 5 Napkin: House Beer (from Kelso of Brooklyn!)
Did you know that 5 Napkin Burger has its own house beer? ;They absolutely do, 5 Napkin Nut Brown Lager - this is a wonderful beer made exclusively for them by Kelso of Brooklyn, a favorite of The Happy Hour Guys.
