I am so excited to announce my next beer adventure called Happy Hour. Happy Hour will be an hour long internet radio show hosted on Buzz Radio (click link to the left).

Joby and I will be co-hosting the show which will cover beer, wine, spirits and everything else in-between. Our very first show will be "air" live this Thursday night from 7-8 PM (best coast time).

Be forewarned ... this first show is going to rough around the edges for sure.
