Tune in tomorrow evening to Beer Sessions to hear Mad Hops and I rap about beer. We’ll be chatting with Jimmy Carbone of Jimmy’s #43 and Ray Deter of d.b.a. and a few others. We’re bringing all of our beer drinking and tasting capabilities and brushing up on our terminology so we don’t look like big fools on air. We are so excited to join Jimmy and Ray and we look forward to heated (or just friendly) discussions about our favorite beers. Hope you listen in as we drink beer and talk … about beer. I mean, what else is there to do tomorrow night? [...]
