We’re wrapping up July Good Beer Month on this week’s episode of Beer Sessions Radio!

Hear about Spuyten Duyvil’s upcoming Midsummer Sour event featuring several awesome sours! Betsy Andrews from Saveur stops by the show to share some of her favorite beers, including some kolschs and the Almanac red ale. IPA master Jeff O’Neill of Peekskill Brewery joins the crew to talk about his move from Ithaca to Peekskill, and some of the IPA trends he’s seeing on the market. Sean McCain of the Bronx Brewery is in the house proclaiming his love for pale ales. Hilary Krishnan talks about her involvement with The Barman’s Fund, an organization that allows bartenders to donate a day’s worth of tips to worthy local causes. Today’s show has been brought to you by GreatBrewers.com. Thanks to Four Lincolns for today’s music.

“The Hudson Valley is always one step behind the city, but we’re making good headway. There are two very different approaches with Peekskill and Captain Lawrence, but we’re doing a good job educating people about beer in Westchester and points north.” [37:00]
