This week on Beer Sessions Radio™, host Jimmy Carbone welcomes Ben Keene, author of The Great Northeast Brewery Tour, who is discussing his new book and the very cool breweries he visited while writing it. Among those: Weyerbacher, also in the studio (Bob Fateaux and Yixi Villar) pouring “small” beers like Merry Monks (at 9.3% ABV); and Kelso of Brooklyn (represented by brewmaster Kelly Taylor).
And the Happy Hour Guys (Jimmy Ludwig and Mark Adrich) living things up with colorful readings from Ben’s book, while John Lapolla of Bitter and Esters regales both Jimmys with tales of homebrew cleaning techniques (note to self: buy Star San).
Learn all about how Ben went from Oxford University Press editor to writer of this very cool new book. And if you want to know Ben better, join him for a Prix Fixe dinner featuring beers from the book on January 27th at Jimmy’s No. 43.
