Hey Guys,

It was pointed out to me that I made a mistake in episode 3. I accidentally said  Brew hard was a podcast put out by the Brewing Network. The actual show is Brew Strong. The brewing network puts out this podcast along with many other shows focused on drinking and making better beer, and they are the home of the BN Army. If you like beer, I recommend you head over and check them out. I want to thank Edmond for pointing out the mistake, mostly because that means some one is actually listening, but also because that means that I can put out a better show. If there are any comments you guys have, or things you would like to see in the show that aren’t shoot an email to eastcoastbeercast@gmail.com , and let me know what I can do different.

Talking about Beer Retailers and Beer classes with Rob Hill of Total Wine and More.

This weeks episode is with Rob Hill who is the Business Development Manager for Total Wine & More. Total Wine & More is rolling out a new beer education program starting this Thursday January the 28th. The first class is called “Great Craft Brews for Game Day and Every Day” which pretty much means session beers. Before you dismiss these classes thinking your self an uber-beer geek, I sat through the presentation and I was thoroughly impressed. If you are a beer geek, you will not be bored, and you could bring a friend. Tickets are only $15, and that gets you two hours, thirteen beers, and a wealth of knowledge. For more information including locations and schedule follow the link above, then click on the classes link on the left. Or you could listen to the show on Friday.

This week I talking about the three-tier system with Jeff Wells of DOPS inc.

I want to thank Jeff Wells from DOPS inc. Look for him at beer events or festivals.
