Think you know Genesee Brewing? Think again.

Jimmy had a great gig recently at Geva Theatre in Rochester, NY, so it was a no-brainer to stop in to Genesee Brewing. New York State's oldest brewery has been in Rochester since 1878 and boasts some incredible history. These days a part of the North American Breweries group, and you may know them for powerhouse flagships such as Genny Ale, Genny Light, and Genny Cream Ale; but did you know that Genesee has a pilot brewery, making some astonishingly tasty small batch beers?
And they have a terrific Brewmaster: Dean "Never Trust a Skinny Brewmaster" Jones takes us on a little tour!

The Waitress Broadway Brew is ready. Let's party!

The Broadway Brews Project rolls on with the release of the third beer in our lineup, brewed by cast members of the musical Waitress in collaboration with Sixpoint Brewing, to benefit the Adrienne Shelly Foundation.

It's time to taste "It's for Adrienne" Cherry Cream Ale - but good heavens! We're missing one brewer, the beer has been poured, and we can't taste until the entire team is present. How long will we the torture continue? Click on, find out, and enjoy a terrific night full of brews an Broadway, with special guests from up and down the Great White Way.

Special thanks to lensers Dane Agostinis, Kristen Beth Ludwig and Jennifer Evans, and as always, the good folk at Rattle N Hum West! Cheers!

BREW DAY: Waitress brews "It's for Adrienne" Cherry Cream Ale!

Sixpoint Brewing's facility in Redhook, Brooklyn, is understated - it's not the kind of showplace  that many Craft brewers, who've been around as long as they have, have created. That said, it's one of the coolest places that we've ever brewed in. Watch & find out why - what a terrific day.

Waitress and Sixpoint on the Broadway Brews Project: Let's meet the team!

The Broadway Brews Project continues! As Brew #3 kicks off, our Brew Crew from Waitress - Olivia Phillip, Jeremy Morse, Molly Jobe and Caitlin Houlahan - meet up with The Happy Hour Guys and Sixpoint Brewing at Beer Culture in midtown NYC.

Their mission:

- Decide what kind of beer they'll make & create the recipe:

- Pick the charity the beer will raise money for:

- Name the beer!

This one's a real heart-warmer, so make sure you watch to the end. Let's create a #CraftBeerforGood!

(special thanks to our capture crew, Brad Burke, Johnny Freeman, Dane Agostinis, Kristen Beth Ludwig, and Kaylin Aarts.)

The Happy Hour Guys celebrate NYC Beer Week!

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!
