This week on Beer Sessions Jimmy and Ray sat down with Seth Wright and Mike Winn of BeerNation.com, a weekly video-based beer blog packed with interviews and a general visual chronicling of the craft beer movement. They were joined by David Urbanos of the iconic "The Ginger Man" beer bar where, from the birth of the American craft beer movement through present day, many a Beer Sessions host or guest has explored the "monster" 70 draught lines. The group was joined by Carolyn Steel, author of "Hungry City" and an expert on food and architecture whose lauded "Food and the City" class at Cambridge combines both. Carolyn, a central London native, expounded on the role of the pub in England today and 200+ years ago, and explained why "small beer" was more popular than water. This episode was sponsored by Great Brewers.com: a favorite source for beer information and education.

Dave Arnold is back from Senegal with another episode of Cooking Issues! Joining him in the studio is Peter Kim of the Museum of Food & Drink. Tune into this episode to hear Dave talk about milk- both cow and human. Is it ok to freeze milk? And should you drink alcohol if you are breast feeding? Later, Dave and Peter offer some suggestions for creating non-alcoholic drinks that taste and feel like real cocktails. Find out how to infuse nut flavors efficiently, and how to make large-format ice at home. Hear Dave and Peter talk about some of their favorite food and drink from West Africa, and learn why West African cuisine and flavors has been largely neglected in high-end restaurant kitchens. Thanks to our sponsor, Chefsteps.
"Human breast milk is vastly water, so you would assume that a mother's milk is close to her blood alcohol level." [15:20]
