February is approaching and there's a small movement to help a part of the craft beer scene gain some spotlight again. Flagship February is meant to get people to drink breweries mainstays, not just the one offs or whales we all chase down. Brian and Eric got together to revisit some old friends from Dogfish Head, Great Lakes, Victory, Brooklyn, Ithaca and more. We went live on Instagram to discuss the topic so here is the before and after.

We took a trip to Alchemy Wine and Beer in Hamburg, NY and sat down with Morgan and Amy of Content on Draft for this week's episode. These ladies help craft beverage businesses create a connection with people like us by helping them tell their stories so why not let them tell their story. They give us great insight on branding through social media and other outlet, The Pink Boots Society Buffalo Chapter and Professional Thumb Wrestling. Oh, and Brian continues his fight against basic ketchup.

Ah, Christmas Time... chopping down trees, spending a ton of money on Amazon, and your local radio station playing Christmas Music the day after Halloween. Brian and Eric got together to talk just about that, that's right, it's a Christmas Music episode! Not just any Christmas Music though, as reformed emo kids they still hold on to those holiday hits they listened to 10-15 years ago. Don't worry, beer is involved too as we drink Founders CBS, Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale and Keytar Bears, a collaboration between Thin Man Brewery and Aslin Beer Company. Listen to us as we drop that early to mid 2000s Christmas knowledge in the spirit of the holiday!
