Description
Jimmy Carbone is representing the Hudson Valley on this week’s episode of Beer Sessions Radio. Jimmy invites Chris Basso and Paul Halayko of Newburgh Brewing Co. into the studio to share some of their new brews. Tune in to hear Chris talk about his past work at Brooklyn Brewery under Garrett Oliver, and why he believes that the farm-to-table movement should encompass both food and beverages. Kevin Garry of the Epicurean Restaurant Group is in the house talking about his time at Gramercy Tavern, and how he assembled the vintage beer list at that NYC institution. How has beer evolved in restaurants since Kevin began in the industry? Ed Berestecki of Mugs Alehouse joins Jimmy again to talk about the draft system at Mugs, and the importance of storing kegs at proper temperatures. Hear about some of Newburgh’s wild beers, and why they try to keep their brews sessionable. This program has been sponsored by GreatBrewers.com. Thanks to Pamela Royal for her tracks, “Quit’n Time” & “Favorite Flower”.

Episode 114: Taverns and U.S. History: Jimmy Carbones talking about taverns on this weeks episode of Beer Sessions Radio. Christine Sismondo, author of America Walks into a Bar, is in the studio to offer s perspective on the importance of taverns as gathering places throughout history. Also in the studio are Ken Tirado of Killmeyers Old Bavarian Inn and Barry Smyth of Fraunces Tavern, two of the oldest taverns in New York City. Tune in to hear about some of the beers at Killmeyers and Fraunces Tavern, the importance of owner involvement in bars, the consequences of Prohibition in the United States, and why its important to keep old tavern traditions alive. This episode has been brought to you by GreatBrewers.com. I dont see the American Revolution happening without taverns. One interesting thing about Prohibition is that people are really invested in the story as something that created more problems than it solved. To some degree, its true, but if you look at the beginning of Prohibiti by Beer Sessions Radio (TM)
