It's simply great to be a Happy Hour Guy. Everywhere we go we get to watch, and partake in, the remarkable dance that Craft Beverages and the communities they inhabit create together. A terrific example is Cigar City Brewing in Tampa, Florida:

However, State liquor laws across the country influence whether this dance will be smooth, or just plain jerky. Press play to learn about the good fight - and great Craft - coming out of Cigar City. Cheers!

Video episode #281: The Martini is a 3oz. drink - at the Prohibition Pig.

The Guys make their way back to Waterbury, Vermont, to close a circle started in motion by John and Jen Kimmich, and furthered by the tragedy that was Hurricane Irene; the Prohibition Pig now takes full possession of the space once occupied by The Alchemist Pub and Brewery. Learn just how cool the new place is, their philosophy of food and drink, and just why you should run - not walk - to get there as soon as possible.  Cheers!
