The Happy Hour Guys look back on 2018!

This is our ELEVENTH look-back episode.

Let’s just ponder that for a minute. Since we started producing regularly in 2008, eleven Happy Hour Guys seasons. ELEVEN ‘year end’ episodes!

Two guys back then with a non-HD camera, some borrowed sound gear and a single light that made them look like they were at the dim end of a long tunnel had no idea they would or could come all this way.

And there’s much further to go: Stay tuned for a big announcement early in the New Year!

• 2018 saw us make some new friends around the country, saw us re-visit some old ones, and take the Broadway Brews Project to the two-thirds point: Four done, and only two beers left to complete the Broadway Six Pack. Links:

• Also, we engaged you guys this year in a whole new way with our GoFundMe to help complete the Six Pack, and you responded: We raised over 15K to get us across the finish line.

• Going into 2019, there’s some VERY BIG NEWS that will take the Broadway Brews Project (and us!) to a whole new level!

As always, thank you. We are nothing without our audience, friends and fans. These great stories need to be told, and we do it so that all of you can follow in our footsteps. Now go someplace new, try something different, and most importantly, buy someone a drink. CHEERS!

Another trip around the sun: Genesee 2018!

A whole year later, Jimmy landed AGAIN at the fantastic Geva Theatre in Rochester, NY. So WWTHHGD? (What would The Happy Hour Guys do)? Visit Genesee Brewing, of course, and see everything we didn't see the first time around! Turns out, because they were finishing a massive construction project last year, that's A LOT.

Plus, we get to hang out with “Never Trust a Skinny Brewmaster” Dean Jones again, which...BONUS!

And many thanks to the MDQ Capture Crew, 2018: Trent, Sarah, Sam, and Taylor!

The Happy Hour Guys look back on 2017!

Looking back is always one of our favorite things to do each year - and 2017 was another great trip. We were all over the US once again, with stops in Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania and Michigan; and most importantly the Broadway Brews Project powered forward, with the release of Brews number two and three, with more to come! Get ready for 2018, and “Craft Beer for Good” with us. CHEERS!

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!
