Do you know who Jack McAuliffe is? How about the youngest (and female) brewer in Belgium? Have you heard the history of New Amsterdam? Well, this week on Beer Sessions Radio™, host Jimmy Carbone welcomes Tom Acitelli (author of The Audacity of Hops) in leading a craft beer history chat, while celebrating July Good Beer Month with Good Beer Seal bar owners, James Langstine of Bronx Ale House and Chris Genua of The Double Windsor. They ruminate on what defines a Good Beer Seal bar, along with the challenge for brewers to meet the consumers’ demand for “something new.”
Speaking of new, “nomadic brewers” Joe and Lauren Grimm premiere their From the Hip Saison, which will be available this week at Jimmy’s No. 43 (on Thursday) and The Double Windsor (on Friday). To round out the cast of characters, Wynkoop’s Beer Drinker of the Year, Warren Monteiro, opines on what makes a great craft beer and his own history of drinking craft around the world. Plus, a couple of special guests from a charity auction get to see the inside of the Heritage Radio Network studio at Roberta’s. From ancient beer (Tom opens a fizzy-but-old New Amsterdam amber ale from 1985) to brand-spanking new, this week’s episode (listen here) has something for everyone.
