Harris Damashek of Underground Eats and Sonoma Springs Brewing Co. is sharing some of his favorite Sonoma beers. Tune in to hear some of our guests' favorite beer books and first beers.

"I think New York is a really competitive market [for new craft beer] that you really need to come here at the right time. It's a hard thing to say, but you really have one chance to make it in a market like this. You might do well in your home market, but when you come to New York it's tough..." -- Andrew McLeod on Beer Sessions Radio
"Just like people are going to wineries and doing tastings, a lot more people are going to breweries." -- Harris Damashek on Beer Sessions Radio
