We spoke with Shane Welch of Sixpoint Brewery in Red Hook
about their recovery efforts. A week and a half after the storm, the brewery
is still not operational. Shane speaks about the on-the-ground relief efforts in the Red Hook community.
"Most people don't know how hard we had to work to just get to here. So it would be silly to let something like this wipe us off the map. We are going to survive without a doubt. Our customers are the ones who are feeling it the most, not us."
--Shane Welch of Sixpoint Craft Ales

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.
