The Happy Hour Guys don't normally report from beer festivals, but this one we could not miss! The kickoff event of New York City Beer Week, for us, is a chance to connect and reconnect: So join us for this blast of an evening, with brew news from KelSo Beer, Gun Hill, Sixpoint, Greenport Harbor, Transmitter, Sand City, Industrial Arts and Lineup. Meet some old friends, make some new ones, and support NYC Craft Beer. Cheers!
Checking in with Union Craft Brewing!
It's always good to reconnect with old friends. And because the Happy Hour Gal's national tour was playing Baltimore, she and Jimmy were able to stop by Union Craft Brewing in Baltimore's Woodberry neighborhood. They have BIG NEWS! Click through to learn, and Cheers!
THHG visit Crank Arm Brewing! (HHG #343)
The pursuit of Great Craft has changed so much in the past 10 years - nowadays, most times it's not a question of will you find Craft, but just how good will it be? What a time to be alive - and we're happy to report that Crank Arm Brewing of Raleigh, North Carolina, is not only well located but is making incredible liquids. Named for the part of a bicycle that is the connection between power and speed, Crank Arm recently medaled at GABF, so OF COURSE we had to stop in. Hang out in their Art-saturated taproom and try a few with Adam, Jimmy and his Spam buddies. Cheers!
