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:

We're back, in person, (distanced) at Sloop Brewing!

September 25, 2020

At long last Mark and Jimmy do an episode together IN PERSON for the first time since the pandemic, (at least 6 feet apart the entire time). And what a return, as we hang out with our pals at Sloop Brewing in East Fishkill, NY. The Hudson Valley is flowing with amazing craft beer, and at the very source of the juicy IPA spring is their flagship brew, Juice Bomb. Join us!

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.
