    American Craft Beer Week & Mark Pasculli

    Mark Pasculli from Rolling Hills Vineyard is on the pod today. He’s doing things a little differently at his winery, and he’ll tell you all about it. Also, it’s American Craft Beer Week, so I celebrate by kneecapping one of the best breweries in the world over their use of slim cans, and I tell a story about the time I defied everyone and threw a tap takeover at Edge with New Belgium.

    Annalisa Damonte from 10 Torr

    Annalisa Damonte is one cool lady. She is the creative force behind one of Reno’s hottest Distilleries / Breweries, 10 Torr. The canned cocktail program that they have put together over there is extraordinary, and she came on the show to share it with you. I also talk about Loose Screw closing up shop on McMillen, Jim Beam shutting down for a year, and what those two seemingly separate occurrences have in common. Order from 10 Torr!
