Lee and Jerry are on the road again to Hagerstown, Maryland where they interview Lloyd and Sheree Thoburn, owners of Hub City Vinyl and Live At Hub City Vinyl. They discuss the genesis and operation of the largest vinyl store in Maryland as well as one of the top music venues in the Mid-Atlantic. Additionally, they taste some of the draft choices at the venue by Cushwa and Antietam Breweries. Big music in little Hagerstown!

Lee and Jerry delve into the early years of high school in the 70s and 80s at Whitehall Coplay High School. There's a planetarium, a natatorium, ill-fitting swim truncks (emphasis on the "ill"), frosh football, print shop and spitball fights, basketball gone wrong, high school dances, The Clap (the punk band, not the venereal disease) and plenty of other adolescent nonsense. And of course Beer! Lots of irish inspired tasting including:
Irish Cream Porter by Zero Gravity Brewing in Burlington, VT,
McMunn's Irish Red and Shooter McMunn's Stout by Lost Rhino Brewing in Ashburn, VA,
and of course the original Irish stout - Guinness!

It's a springtime hoptacular!
Hop on it!

Lee and Jerry visit Hub City Brewery and Church Street Distillery in Hagerstown, Maryland and interview Jake Blackmon, the creative force behind one of the most innovative, eclectic and absolutely fantatic brewery/pub/distillery facilities in the country!

Lee and Jerry take the podcast on the road and reunite with an old pal at Chessie's Warf brewery in Annapolis, MD. They sample beers from RAR Brewing on a cold, snowy morning with former Whitehall Zephyr and Muhlenberg Mule, Marine Corps Lieutennant Colonel (Ret) Joseph Thomas, aka JT, who takes them on a journey into old weird Hokendaqua, Pennsylvania. There's Nasty Boyz, Hong Kong tunnels, Darktown and more!

Lee and Jerry taste beers from Alwerks in Williamsburg, Virginia and Other Half Brewing in Brooklyn, New York . They also reminisce about classic TV shows from the 60s and 70s including:

Gilligan's Island, Green Acres, I Dream Of Jeannie, The Munsters, The Addams Family, Star Trek, Space Giants, Ultraman, and others.

And of course, lots of nonsense.

We're back to White Coplay Middle School for 7th and 8th grade nonsense! Lee and Jerry remenisce about shop class, home economics, sewing class and learning to type. Can you say sema? The also taste and review 2 beers: Spruce Almighty from Virginia's own Honor Brewing and Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome Ale from across the pond in Jolly Old UK! Hop on!

Lee and Jerry start 2025 off with a nice big beer tasting of Trader Joe's brand JosephsBrau Winter Ride Double Bock Lager. Then it's back to the 1970s at Whitehall Coplay Middle School in Whitehall Pennsylvania. They continue their "lower" education chronology with more readin' and writin' and square dancin' and kung fu fightin'!

Seriously, you just can't make this stuff up. It Didn't Have To Happen! Hop on!

Lee and Jerry are joined by their good friend, Dr. John Vlattas, for a triple beer tasting and a nonsensical deep dive into the world of 900 numbers from the 1980s and 1990s. Everything from the bizzare "1-900-Cry" to "Granpa Al's Lewis' Junior Vampire hotline". They also taste and review Great Lakes Brewing Christmas Ale, Souther Tier's 2Xmas and The Mad Elf from Troeg's. Hop on in!
