July Good Beer Month Report

Last week was a busy week for July Good Beer Month. If you missed Edible Pursuit with our friend Rachel Wharton, you can check out pics from the event right here. You can also hear an on-the-scene report from Sunday’s Meatopia: BBQ NYC event on Governors Island by listening to The Main Course on the Heritage Radio Network. Pictures from the huge BBQ and beer event will be posted soon.

While Meatopia was a smashing good party, Today is only July 12! There are still 20 days left in July Good Beer Month!

Tomorrow, don’t miss the SIMULTAP event. Several Good Beer Seal bars will get their first delivery of Sixpoint Signal and will be tapping it in conjunction with the Beer Sessions Radio live stream at 5:00 PM! Join our roving reporter, Dave Brodrick, Jeff Gorlechen and Craig Frymark of Sixpoint Craft Ales and Caitlin Robin of Against the Grain for all the smoked beer fun!

Beer Table inhabits a cozy space on the southern end of 7th Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn. If you wander down the avenue between 14th and 15th Streets, you’ll find an intimate space that offers rare brews and tasty morsels for discerning beer lovers. Proprietors Justin and Tricia Philips delight in sharing the beers they’ve discovered with their patrons and pairing these often exotic brews with good food.


On Tuesday nights, Beer Table features a prix fixe dinner offering 3 courses for $25. Add the suggested beer pairings to the dinner for $15 and even the hard to please connoisseur will find a surprise or two.

To learn more about Beer Table, listen to Justin Philips appearance on Beer Sessions Radio.

The Shelton Brothers Visit Beer Sessions Radio

Vuvuzelas and craft beer, two great tastes…

Joel and Will Shelton on Beer Sessions Radio


The Shelton Brothers joined us on Beer Sessions Radio this week and brought a lot of beer. A lot. It was daunting, really. The Shelton Brothers carry one of the finest beer portfolios around, focusing on small breweries with a natural and very personal approach to their craft.

That was a lot of beer!

The Shelton Brothers currently hold the record for most beer brought to Beer Sessions Radio!
