This week on Beer Sessions Jimmy and Ray sit down with some new players in the wide world of Beer Media. First Will Stephens, creator of the blog Wandering Foodie and writer at Huffington Post, discusses his new ideas for a beer website and how he got in the blogosphere. Next Hagan Blount, creator of Beer Menu.com (an interactive list of beer menus and draught lists that has taken off in popularity as of late) discusses the inspiration and impetus for his new site. Bartender Jen Schwertman weighs in on NYC bar tipping habits, and Kelly Taylor & Sonya Giaccobe of Kelso Brewing Company talk about local beer and the evolution of the craft beer scene.
