Manhattan's Brewery: Torch and Crown!

September 21, 2021

Join Mark and Jimmy as they REJOICE: There's a production brewery in Manhattan once again! Torch and Crown is a short subway ride from just about anywhere (okay Staten Island, we hear you) and it's truly fantastic. And they're brewing the Curtain Up Beer to boot!

And speaking of the Curtain Up Beer, Torch and Crown has just released their version, and we’ll be heading there for a super fun Happy Hour on Monday September 29th. 5-8pm, with lots of super deals and fun. Who’s coming? We’ll be there and the cameras will be rolling!

Looking back on- NEVER MIND, let's look forward to 2021!

December 29, 2020

Our THIRTEENTH (yup, of course that's the number, because 2020!) Year End Episode looks back at how we approached, then navigated lockdown, and most importantly, how came to the realization that the Curtain Up Beer was THE way to finish the Broadway Six Pack, and take us in to 2021. Cheers!

Lets look back on:

At Home On The Road: The Alpha MI Brewing Company.

August 27, 2020

Jimmy returns to his old stomping grounds in the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan for the first time in over 35 years... and there's a brewery in Alpha! Deep in the heart of Mastadon Township in Iron County, well down the road from Crystal Falls, the tiny village of Alpha, Michigan, is far and away the smallest village in the entire United States with its own craft brewery.

How could we NOT cover these fine folk? Enjoy.
