Valentine's day is coming up; what to eat? This week on Let's Eat In, Cathy Erway is joined in the studio by Sixpoint Craft Ale's Brewmaster (and Cathy's Valentine), Shane Welch. Tune in to find out why Shane believes that Valentine's Day is an under-appreciated holiday. Shane describes one of his newest brews called "Three Beans", which includes cold brew from Stumptown Coffee Roasters and chocolate from Mast Brothers. Learn more about this Red Hook collaboration, and how the beer's release was affected by Hurricane Sandy. Listen in to hear Shane talk about the vulnerability of New York City, and how well New Yorkers have dealt with tragedy in the past decade. This program has been sponsored by Whole Foods.

"If you have a large portfolio of craft beers, things get a little more difficult because you need a lot of ingredients. It's kind of like a restaurant." [18:15] -- Shane Welch on Let's Eat In
