What you missed on Beer Sessions Radio™ – Shiner Beer, By the Bay and Hot Sauce
Featured in this post
Just in time for this weekend's NYC Hot Sauce Expo in Williamsburg, Beer Sessions Radio™ episode #159 (listen here) welcomes pretzels and hot sauce, along with special guests Eric Webber from Texas' Shiner Beer, the nation's fourth largest craft brewer, which has recently entered the NYC marketplace; and Lina Kulchinsky from Sigmund's Pretzels, who has brought their latest offering: a sourdough pretzel. Host Jimmy Carbone is munching and talking beer and BBQ with the 104 year old Spoetzl Brewery, and how Shiner has fused traditional German and Eastern European beer with southeast Texas flavor.
In sampling some of the hot sauces that will be at the Expo, Eric comes up with the best hot sauce quote of the show: "A good hot sauce should be like a stalker… by the time it hits you, it's too late!"
Call-in guests include Marc Stroobrandt of The Belgian Beer Café, who will be opening his 50+ brew restaurant next month in Nomad. He comes up with his favorite beer-food pairings (his recommendation for hot sauce? a Flemish cherry beer), and the company's expansion around the world and the joys of being a beer sommelier.
Finally, Jared Stutts calls in to talk about his documentary about the history of San Francisco beer, _ Brewers by the Bay_. You can find out how to support Jared's project at IndieGoGo here. Or watch the video below.
