The South Jersey Beer Scene Podcast

Vic and Richard are back in the basement, joined by Alexis as they host Donn, Lisa and Brandon from Manafirkin Brewing Company. It's always a wild 'firkin ride when this crew comes on the show, as we talk about the brewery expansion, canning, distribution and, of course, try some delicious Manfirkin beers. Manafirkin is a featured brewery at the Made in Jersey festival on September 30, so this show features a new edition of the world famous (well at least in our world) "So You Think You Can Jersey?" quiz show. We also get a little out of orbit and talk about UFO congressional hearings and for possibly the first time ever on a beer-centric podcast you will hear the words, "quantum entanglement"! The truth is out there.! Cheers and enjoy!

We're BAAAACK! Vic and Richard were joined by SJBS OG Tom at Mudhen Brewing in Wildwood. The boys had a great time talking with Tony, Mary Pat and Brian, about the history of Mudhen, the beer community in Cape May County. Of course we got to taste some delicious Mudhen beer into a barrel aged version of the award winning Wee Heavy Wilson. Stay tuned for more upcoming episodes! .

When you think of Craft Beer in our region, one of the first people that comes to mind is Al Gattullo, host of Al Gattullo's Craft Beer Cast taped live in New York City on AM 970 The Answer. Al is also the Newscaster, Sportscaster, and Technical Engineer of the Joe Piscopo Show heard mornings from 6A-10A and one of the biggest supporters of Craft Beer in the area. I have had the pleasure of interviewing Al a few times, both on our podcast and on The What's On Tap show, so he turned the tables and had me on as a guest to talk all things Jersey Beer. It was truly an honor to chat with Al on what has become one of the best, and most relevant, beer shows on the East Coast (or anywhere, for that matter!) So if you haven't listened to him check out the show then subscribe on iTunes, listen on the Hopped Up Network, or check the show out live on Sunday Nights at 11PM!
