Before the dawn of the railroad, New York State was the nation’s top beer producer for over 120 years. To break down the state’s rich history of brewing, Jimmy talks with Carlo DeVito and Don Cazentre, highly acclaimed writers and historians of beer (among other libations). Don and Carlo make up half the team behind EMPIRE BEER, an upcoming book about the history of beer in New York. Listen and learn about the state’s 400 years of brewing, from foraging to “suds buckets" to the craft beers of today!
