This week on Beer Sessions Jimmy and Ray sat down with Juan Cruz from Sunswick, the ONLY Good Beer Seal approved beer bar in Queens, and Chris O'Leary, a beer nerd who started his own beer blog (Beer York) after lamenting the lack of straightforward beer and brewery news (sans reviews and opinions) in the brew blogosphere. The guys discussed the potentially taboo subject of beer cocktails, including the "manmosa" and black chocolate stout with framboise or ice cream, in addition to taking a call from a pro-growler listener. This episode was sponsored by Great Brewers.com: a favorite source for beer information and education and one of the internet's most popular beer destinations.
