As the World Cup progresses, Jimmy and Mark find a real gem of a place to many things; watch games, meet new friends, drink great European beer and eat some of the best German food (with a NYC flair) theyve ever had. ; Welcome to WUNDERBAR, your new favorite German Beer Hall in Astoria Queens.
The Guys make a stop in Richmond, Virginia at the Capital Ale House, at their downtown location. ; These folks put their trust in Craft Beer and great food back in 2002, and it has paid off in a big way.
Just in time for the start of the FIFA World Cup, Jimmy and Mark breeze thru the north side of Chicago, specifically the Ravenswood district, to drop in what has been rated three years running as the best soccer bar in the US. This calls for a frank and open discussion with the owner, Stewart Johnston, who seems to have momentarily forgotten the coming festivities. Join, Jimmy, Mark, and Happy Hour Central Region rep Billy Zoltan Palmer in this lead-up to kickoff. Cheers!
The Guys look back a bit to last November when they stopped through Ferndale, Michigan to hang out at B. Nektar Meadery. Brad Dahlhofer and his compatriots are doing some incredible things first with the simple ingredients of honey, water and yeast, and then with additions of everything from fruits, to spices, to bourbon barrel ageing. In fact, the day we were there they were releasing a Bourbon Barrel Aged Mead that sold so quickly our heads began to spin. B. Nektar is definitely worth a look. Big thanks to them for hosting us, as well as to cameraman Jeff Scot Carey, second camera Joe-Joe Gregoria, and Diana Burnett for happy happy joy joy. Mead, everyone. It's what's for dinner. And dessert. Cheers!
Last week we shared with you the fact that Asheville, NC shares the title of Beer City USA.
The guys find themselves in the mountains of North Carolina, in a fantastic town that many people are calling Beer City USA.
Join the Guys for this weeks installment of BEER IN HISTORY, featuring the City that is Windy and the Chicago Lager Beer Riots of 1855.
