"You don't necessarily have to go to New York to find good beer, we have great brewers and great beer bars here [in New Jersey], and we want to be at the forefront of it all." -- Os Cruz on Beer Sessions Radio

"It's the right of America, being the great melting pot, to steal inspiration from the entire world, and that's what we do with our beer. If you're holding to the strictures of definition, you can't." -- Augie Carton on Beer Sessions Radio
