Take a trip to Rhode Island this week on Beer Sessions Radio™! Host Jimmy Carbone is joined by Rhode Island native Chris O’Leary, Zach Mack of ABC Beer Co., and Niko Krommydas, frequent guest and beer writer. The panel discusses how much the Rhode Island beer scene has grown in the past couple of years (now boasting 14 brewpubs/breweries) and its claim to being “the biggest little state in the union” (take that Delaware!).
Joining the panel on the phone are Rhode Island based home brewer Lamel Moore and Foolproof Brewing brewer Dammy Olsson. They all discuss the rising scene of craft beer in Rhode Island the general landscape of the small state, including its unique accent. Later in the show, Justin Kennedy briefly phones in to talk about Allagash’s coolship program (we hope to hear more about Justin’s brew day when he’s back in the studio). Plus surprise guests Sarah Annese and Giancarlo Annese stop by to promote the 2014 Holiday Book Market.
