This week on Beers Sessions Radio™, host Jimmy Carbone continues last week’s trip down memory lane as Mugs Alehouse’s Ed Berestecki returns with more stories about owning a bar for 21 years in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. He’s celebrating the bar’s anniversary with last year’s specially brewed Blood Brothers IPA 20th Anniversary Ale, which Brooklyn Brewery created for Mugs.
Ed and Jimmy are joined by two of the Beerded Ladies: Haley Karl and Meredith Heil. Plus, Lea Rumbolo, brewer at The Ship Inn Brewery in Millford, NJ, discusses her focus on English-style beers and being the first brewpub in NJ. Zach Mack from ABC Brewing Company weighs in on the merits of the new beer laws in NY that allow for hybrid bottle shop/restaurants.
What’s the best way to store and serve from a cask? How does an interest in wine lead to careers in beer? Who is Ed Raven? Why is Ringwood yeast so difficult to use for brewing?
Find out the answers to all this and more on this week’s episode (listen here).
