Northeast Beer/Spirits trip, July 17-24!
Greetings McGlassers! Big plans in store this week for The Happy Hour Guys - Mark, Jeff and Jimmy are outbound Sunday morning for some heavy shooting (and research - gosh, we love our jobs!) in the NorthEast: Vermont, Mass, and New Hampshire, to be specific. We'll be making stops at (are you ready?)
Otter Creek / Wolaver's Organic
5 Napkin Burger - Boston Location
...and that's just for starters!! Look for updates here throughout the week. This is going to be EPIC! Cheers!
We sat, we beered, we Beer Sessions Radio'd.
Well, that was fun. This tuesday the Historian Guy (Mark) and the Communicator Guy (Jimmy) had the honor and the pleasure of hanging out at Beer Sessions Radio (hosted by the Heritage Radio Network).
The Host:
Jimmy Carbone of Jimmy's #43 and the Good Beer Seal
The Guests:
Ben Granger of Bierkraft, in Brooklyn
Dave Brodrick of The Blind Tiger, in Manhattan
and Ron Lindenbusch, the Beer Weasel of Lagunitas Brewing,
and US!
Needless to say, we had an amazing time, laughing, talking about some amazing beers and beer issues, and of course, drinking some ridiculous Craft Beer. Beer Sessions Radio, y'all - give a listen sometime!
Video episode #185, for 5 Napkin: Russell's Reserve 10 Year Bourbon.
Jimmy and Mark spend a little time at the Upper West Side 5 Napkin doing some Maximum Visibility Drinking with this fine Bourbon.
Video episode #184, for 5 Napkin: Brooklyn Pilsner!
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.
