This week on Beer Sessions, Jimmy & Ray host a loosely themed "Mardi Gras" show. Ray talks a bit about the Mardi Gras festivities in New Orleans and what made him open a bar down there and explains why craft beer and Mardi Gras are not a match made in heaven. Later on the show, Shane Welch and Jeff Gorlechen from Sixpoint Craft Ales stop by to preview the upcoming Beer For Beasts event. The Barrier Brewing Company guys also stopped by to explain why their garage brewery in Long Island isn't so different from the big guys. This episode was sponsored by GreatBrewers.com = the #1 beer site on the internet.

Valentine's day is coming up; what to eat? This week on Let's Eat In, Cathy Erway is joined in the studio by Sixpoint Craft Ale's Brewmaster (and Cathy's Valentine), Shane Welch. Tune in to find out why Shane believes that Valentine's Day is an under-appreciated holiday. Shane describes one of his newest brews called "Three Beans", which includes cold brew from Stumptown Coffee Roasters and chocolate from Mast Brothers. Learn more about this Red Hook collaboration, and how the beer's release was affected by Hurricane Sandy. Listen in to hear Shane talk about the vulnerability of New York City, and how well New Yorkers have dealt with tragedy in the past decade. This program has been sponsored by Whole Foods.
"If you have a large portfolio of craft beers, things get a little more difficult because you need a lot of ingredients. It's kind of like a restaurant." [18:15] -- Shane Welch on Let's Eat In
