Communicator Guy here - In a true dash of Kismet, by a wonderful, strange coincidence, I'm in this fantastic place, which features great local food, wine, & some fine local brews on tap. AND, the Heritage Radio Network is in an adjacent building, where we will be appearing tomorrow, on Beer Sessions Radio! Life is good, Happy Hour Nation. Life is good.
Hey all! Communicator Guy here, checking in from Governor's Island, (as in, why the F haven't I been out here before? Governor's Island) just a short FREE ferry ride from South Ferry at the southern tip if Manhattan. We're here today for FoodKarma's Cook Out NYC, a festival of grilled meat and craft beer like none we've ever seen. On tap are 4 varieties of Sixpoint Craft Ales, including the Righteus Rye, Signal Smoked Amber (!!), Belgian IPA, and the Brevity Belgian Wit flanked by meat meat meat from Incredible NY area restaurants literally as far as the eye can see! Jimmy Carbone (of Jimmy's #43, one of our favorite NYC bars) is hosting. A recommendation you can try at home: Sixpoint Signal with a barbecued pork Belly adobo. A can't miss summer treat. WOW!
Jimmy and Mark spend a little time at the Upper West Side 5 Napkin doing some Maximum Visibility Drinking with this fine Bourbon.
When you have German Beer system installers in your brewery, and they're drinking your Pilsner at 9:30 in the morning... you're doing something RIGHT.

Ray Deter, Owner of D.B.A. bars in Brooklyn, NYC, and New Orleans, craft beer advocate and all-around great guy, passed away after a tragic bicycle accident here in NYC. He will be greatly missed. Here's a re-post of an interview we did with him last year. Rest in Peace, Ray. Cheers.
Jimmy and Mark delve deep (and we mean deep) into this very popular, very pair-able bourbon. Cheers!
