Some more terrific press for the Broadway Brews Project landed today from Circa news, featuring BOTH Rise Up Rye and the upcoming School of Rock beer:
Many thanks to Ariel Min and all the good folks at Circa!

The Broadway Brews Project continues!
Just like we did with Hamilton an American Musical and Gun Hill Brewing recently, we, The Happy Hour Guys, are putting a hit Broadway show together with a local brewer, to brew a beer for Charity. Our eventual goal: The Broadway Six Pack - six shows, six beers, six amazing causes.
And here comes Brew #2; we're matching School of Rock the Musical with Carton Brewing in Atlantic Highlands, NJ - and they're brewing for the good folk over at Sing For Hope.
Brew Day is October 20th, and the release party will be...well, as soon as this kick-ass, hard-rockin' beer is ready.
Craft Beer and Broadway are together again. Cheers!
Earlier this year, while going thru some 'classic' footage, Mark said to Jimmy, "Hey - whatever happened to that really great stuff we got in the finger lakes when we visited Damiani Wine Cellars?" A spelunking adventure ensued, and Jimmy recovered this event, which we must share. As we've said in the past, it's always good to be a The Happy Hour Guy, but some days IT'S EVEN BETTER. Enjoy this episode, right out of the tank and barrel. CHEERS!
Jimmy had a meeting with our pals at Vimeo recently (love those guys, and LOVE how they make our footage work) and realized that we hadn't updated our trailer in, ah, well, a couple years (more than a couple).
So we did that. Now including prettier booze shots, an even higher percentage of amazing people, the Broadway Brews Project, and also us. Please share with everyone you know who uses the internet, and you're welcome.
Talk about a family business: Christine and Bill Heaton met as co-workers at Victory Brewing back the early 2000's, and now as a Wife and Husband team, they own run their own production brewery in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts. Big Elm Brewing's beer is beyond terrific, and their story - one of family, sacrifice, and no small amount of courage (and also some really awesome dogs) - is even better. Think you know MA beer? Not until you've tried Big Elm. Take a look!
So very excited to let you guys in on this one - our second Broadway Brews Project collaboration partners will be School of Rock the Musical, and Carton Brewing! There are already tons of cool stories to tell about this one and we've barely gotten started. First episode capture is just weeks away!
Stay tuned for updates as we get the band together, create a recipe, pick a charity, and find a name for this beer - any ideas from you guys? Leave them in the comments below!
Mark, Jimmy and Squigs take the short journey from NYC to Northport NY, on Long Island; a beautiful little village with a historical part of the very bones of New York City. Also where, right in the middle of Main Street, Sand City Brewing is making craft beer that... well, it pretty much blew our minds. Click below for more about this great place and these TERRIFIC beers that will soon be much, much harder to get. This is a #WalkDontRun alert, people! GET THEE TO NORTHPORT!
Frank McNally, Kevin Sihler, and Bill Kiernan, Co-Owners of Sand City.
This was just the start of DELICIOUS.
