This week on Beer Sessions, Jimmy welcomes Sam back into the fold with sordid tales of being a beer-hawker at Bonnaroo. John Liegey & DJ Swanson from Greenport Harbor Brewing Company talk about why they're sticking to their "nano" roots, an infamous prohibition era booze-running boat, and what makes their Anniversary #1 Belgian style beer so special. Plus BR Royla from Shelton Brothers returns, and Jimmy and the gang take a listener query about home brewing versus baking.
