Jimmy, Mark, Molly, Jeff and Lakisha make a stop in the Deep South, at the J. Clyde in Birmingham Alabama. Turns out the very politically active folks at freethehops.org have a lot to teach the rest of us about loving beer, making change and caring for a community. Join the team as they prove that all great politics are local, and all great beer is craft. Cheers!

Downtown Detroit City.
Video episode #108: Getting the Key to the Kingdom at No Name Pub!
The Guys venture just about as far south in the continental USA as is humanly possible... no, not Key West, but Big Pine Key, just a few miles north. And well off the Overseas Highway, nestled in a green corner well traveled by diminutive Key Deer, sits the No Name Pub, a haven for stories, history, great pizza, and a look at Old School Florida Keys that has almost disappeared. Enjoy!
Video episode #106: Left Hand Man, Brewery and Community.
A few months ago, as their tour through breweries and bars in Colorado's Front Range came to a close, Jimmy and Mark stopped through Longmont, Colorado and Left Hand Brewing. Join us for a deeper look into the connection of a Craft Brewery and the connection with the community it shares. Cheers
Video episode #105: Leave your title at the door at Founders Taproom.
The Guys are back at Founders Brewing in Grand Rapids MI to spend a little time in their terrific taproom - a place where community rules, the beer is epic, and everyone drinks together.
Yazoo Brewing, Nashville!
There was SO much to do in Nashville... that we forgot to shoot any video. Well, we shot video, but not enough video. Well, let’s just say the Honky-Tonkin’ was CHOICE. Nashville, or Music City as it is popularly called, is recently turning into a Brew City - thanks to Yazoo Brewing.
Started in 2003, after the owner gave up his ‘first life’ as a banker and begged the folks at Brooklyn Brewing for an unpaid summer internship, our intrepid hero pooled his resources and started this fantastic place on a shoestring. And goodness, are we glad he did.
Many of the beers we sampled as Yazoo were memorable, but for our money we really enjoyed the Dos Perros, modeled after a Mexican Ale, and the Sly Rye Porter.
Video episode #104: Follow Your Beer Bliss at Founders Brewing!
