Happy New Year and welcome to our first show of 2024. We have something a little different on tap for the new year. Manafirkin hosted a Singer/Songwriter showcase last month and Vic had the opportunity to interview several of the musicians before the show as well Todd Hunt, co owner of the brewery. So instead of hearing about yeast and mash tuns, you’ll hear about Fenders and Martins and sound systems. Thanks for listening hope you enjoy it!

Vic and Richard are joined by Alexis in the actual basement as they host Donn, Lisa and Brandon from Manafirkin Brewing Company.
In one of our more wide ranging conversations we talk about the brewery expansion, distribution, canning and, of course, try some delicious Manfirkin beers.
Manafirkin is a featured brewery at the Made in Jersey festival on September 30, so this show features a new edition of the world famous (well at least in our world) "So You Think You Can Jersey?" quiz show.
Oh and...there is also UFO talk!
Thanks for giving us a listen!

We're BAAAACK! Vic and Richard were joined by SJBS OG Tom at Mudhen Brewing in Wildwood. The boys had a great time talking with Tony, Mary Pat and Brian, about the history of Mudhen, the beer community in Cape May County. Of course we got to taste some delicious Mudhen beer into a barrel aged version of the award winning Wee Heavy Wilson.
Stay tuned for more upcoming episodes!
