It's been a minute since the three of us have had a chance to catch up. Tune into Industry Night with Nycci Nellis on Real Fun DC.

Those efforts continue today to help ameliorate the ongoing economic crisis in Lebanon.

He is joined by Michael Paul Messenie of Dutchess Ales, Paul Pendyck of UK Brewing Supplies, Steve Hamburg of Cask Marque, Greg Engert of The Grand Delancey, and Tony Forder of Ale Street News.

The group discusses what tools and practices are necessary for good cellarmanship, how to make cask ales more accessible in the US, and the organizations and festivals like CAMRA and NERAX that help highlight what’s special about this type of beer. Beer ListSamuel Smith, Imperial StoutHigh Point Brewing Company, Ramstein MaibockHair of The Dog Brewing, Otto from the Wood 2013Fullers Vintage Ale 2009Off Color Brewing, Golden Milk Stout Beer Sessions Radio is powered by Simplecast.

How does authenticity drive success? Philz Coffee CEO Jacob Jaber and Neighborhood Restaurant Group Beverage Director Greg Engert join Debbie and Billy Shore to discuss good coffee, craft beer and how to build businesses that are part of the fabric of their communities. Both guests cite authenticity - in the people they hire, the products they serve, and the experiences they provide for guests - as the basis for the success of their organizations. “The best service is when it’s done from the heart and authentic,” Jaber believes. Engert thinks that just having craft beer on the menu is not enough. “The hard part is echoing the passion of the producer through service and product knowledge,” he says. “The flavors become more vibrant when you wed the intellectual to the more visceral pleasures of drink.” Both guests built their businesses with community in mind. Jaber’s father started Philz out of his grocery store in San Francisco and now they have 48 stores and growing. “If you want to do it right, you have to not worry about scalability and just focus on excellence,” says Jaber. Engert agrees. “[They] are places for people who live near each other to get together, share food and drink and get to know each other and learn from each other,” says Engert of Neighborhood Restaurant Group’s 19 establishments. Tune in to this conversation and hear the passion that these two guests bring to their crafts, their customers and their communities.

Washington, D.C. has been at the forefront of the good beer movement for a long time, most likely unbeknownst to the rest of the country. On this episode of The Session, we talk with Greg Engert who is part owner and Beer Director of Blue Jacket Brewing in D.C., in addition to managing craft programs across numerous other restaurants in the area. Greg sent us four beers to discuss, and they ranged from a dry-hopped Kolsch to a barrel-aged Imperial Stout. We also chat about our recent HomebrewCon adventures, and JP complains about his scoresheets. Again. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
