We are live from the mothership for episode 700 of BSR! It’s fitting to be in the place where it all started, Roberta’s Pizza, to bring you this jam packed episode of great food and beer pairings for our 700th Beer Session. Experience tantalizing tastings live with Jimmy and friends as they chow down and pour up, straight from the HRN studio in Bushwick.

Here to join the celebration are two Master Cicerones and a familiar Beer Acolyte who have carved out their own spaces in the beer world aristocracy: BSR veteran James Tai, of Beeracolyte; Shane McNamara, Master Cicerone, global beer traveler, writer, and judge; and BSR newcomer Max Finnance, an esteemed mentor and educator in the beer space and Master Cicerone.

Please raise a glass as we toast to the next 700 episodes of BSR! Cheers!

We’re shaking things up with a cider episode this week! Jimmy is back at Roberta’s with a special guest who he has known since the early days of Cider Week NYC and Jimmys No. 43.

Diane Flynt, author of Wild, Tamed, Lost, Revived: The Surprising Story of Apples in the South, joins Jimmy to talk all about her apples and making great cider. The two will recount the trajectory of craft cider over the years, and Diane will introduce us to the story of apples in the south with a special reading from her book.
