On the Podcast
Tomorrow night at 5:00 PM, Jimmy and Ray will sit down with some of the most discerning beer drinkers in the industry. Jon Lundbom of B. United will be back for his second appearance on Beer Sessions Radio. No doubt he will bring some treasures with him, as will Ben Granger of Bierkraft fame. We’ve mentioned Bierkraft so often on the show that it is only fitting Ben finally joins us at the mic. Mike Cadoux, co-founder of Peak Organic Brewing will round out the guest list before he heads over to dba where some Peak brews will enjoy a place of honor on Ray’s beer list!
Speaking of honor, it’s always great to hear back from some of our listeners. Recently, Brew Lounge mentioned Beer Sessions Radio as a “must listen” podcast. Thanks, Brew Lounge for listening.
Philly Beer Week
A few of us enjoyed a pleasant side trip to Philly Beer Week. We visited bars like Monks Cafe, Benelux, Nodding Head Brewpub, and Triumph Brewpub. While there, we met up with 12 Percent Imports rep Maggie Fuller, aka “Beer Guru” and a brewer from Brouwerij t’Gaverhopke.
New Beers on Beer Sessions
Tonight on Beer Sessions, Jimmy Carbone and guest host Manuela Totah were the first to sample some new beers from Keegan Ales. An Oak Aged Mother’s Milk and a Rye Whiskey Aged Hurricane Kitty were tasted in studio and on air. Geoff Wenzel and Mike Martinez of Keegan Ales shared their wares with fellow brewer, Kelly Taylor of Kelso, who brought some treats of his own including a Saison that delighted the production crew at Heritage Radio Network who licked their chops from behind the studio glass.
Who could blame them? There was so much delicious beer to go around it was hard not to salivate. In addition, our thoughtful guest co-host, Manuela, brought some great cheeses from Saxelby Cheesemongers to pair with the beers!
Many thanks to our great guests who share their time, talents, and beers!
