do. Yeah, you have tocome here every night. We do.

(04:19):
Yeah. One of the coolest thingsin Foodtown is the meat and the meat
prices. No, I I seldomleave one of our events without buying food.
I'm probably gonna leave it with somemeat today. They have really good
meat, really good prices too,So Food Town of course in Chila corner
of two fifty nine and something elseBuffalo Road or yeah Buffalo, Yeah,

(04:43):

at Foodtown in North Childe. That'sthe girl this podcast. Jim Samon's over
there handing out samples and meatballs coveredin our sauce to some of these store

(05:08):
patrons. Here and run across fromus is a nice young lady giving out
samples of beer, which I thinkis a complete awesome combination. If I
could ask, please, what's yourname? My name's Abbey, and Abby
what are you doing here today?I am sampling some dogfish Head and Sam
Adams beers. No, that's great, So this would be considered like craft
beer, not your standard regular beers. Correct, Yes, it's craft beer.

(05:30):
Excellent, excellent. How long haveyou been into craft beer? I
know everyone usually starts with like regularbeer, Like I know, my first
beer was like a keystone or something. What how what got you into the
craft beer world. Honestly, dogfishhead. I went to a music festival
and they had a beer called FestinaPeesh, which sadly they aren't producing much
anymore, and it was a peachsour that tasted delicious, and I was
like, anymore of that? Excellent? Excellent. So I know the styles

(05:54):
of beer that are out on themarkets right now, what's your favorite kind
of beer? I know there's likethere's sours, iPads, there's stouts,
there's all you know, pills,there's laggers, all types of stuff.
What what kind of beer do yougravitate towards the most? Yeah? I
really like light things. A hellis a colch a pilsner, that's my
jam mostly. I know a lotof the like the actual brewers themselves,

(06:14):
they kind of lean towards that too, because it's a little tougher, get
that even balanced, clean taste.It is a load like fruit or load
like hops and stuff. Yeah,yeah, I think that if you can
make a clean Chris pilsner, yougot your brewing game in a bag.
Excellent, excellent. So when yougo to like a craft beer festival and
you see all these people trying thesecraft beers and from everywhere. How does

(06:35):
it make you feel to see warcraftbeer came from like when it first came
out like years ago, to whereit is now where it's kind of it's
it's it's booming in an upstate NewYork, New York student in general.
You know, it's it's a reallybigger. How does it make you feel
to see that kind of growth?I actually think it's great. Um,
I'm doing one of the Lilac Festivaltomorrow. Yeah, I'm pouring at one
of those. Um, I've beento them and I've participated in them for

(06:56):
a long time. I think it'sawesome that people get to try and have
a chance to different beers from differentplaces or even just local ones. That's
very cool. The cooling about todayis you can come here. You can
buy your eggs, your milk,your Jim salmon, salmon ranch, cherry,
burberbercue sauce, have a sample ofit. Come here, drink some
beer, buy some beer, gohome. Your day is out. Here

(07:16):
comes Jim, He's coming. Don'tforget to ask her about the worldwide stout.
Oh yes, and what's the otherone? Dog head one twenty minute
IPA wait man, don't forget toask her about he ran over from doing
the sauce and remind me of that, so I guess I gotta ask.
So recently you just talk to meJe Gemini, and you told us about
what the actual minutes mean when wetalk about twenty sixty, one hundred twenty

(07:39):
minute type thing. Can you kindof break that down? Yeah, So
sixty minute, which is our flagshipi PA for dogfish Head, it just
means that it was continually hopped inthe kettle for sixty minutes. So they're
just a one minute once a minute. They're dropping in some hops for it.
Same with a ninety minute. Again, they're continuously hopping for ninety minutes
and the same goes for one hundredand twenty minute. That's awesome and that
kind of that ups the ABV inthose two as well, right a little

(08:01):
bit. Yeah, I mean it'sit also ups like the flavor profile,
the alcohol levels. Um those hopssay sometimes their dry hops, so it's
really more aroma and like a littleacidity and some um some things like that.
Excellent, All right, final questionbefore I have to get pulled back
at to do with my job overhere. I guess if someone wants to
learn more about Dogfish, Head Aleor Sad Adams or any type of beer

(08:22):
that you represent here. How canthey find it? Is there a website
or anything they can go to?Yeah, so Dogfished has its own website.
Um, Sam Adams has their ownwebsite, or you can look under
our umbrella, which is Boston BeerCompany. So we do all of those
as well as Angry Orchard, TwistCity, and truly I drink all those.
Yeah, they're all good, They'reall well, it was a pleasure
talking to you. I'm sure whileI'm here, you'll see be visited a

(08:43):
couple of times because you know youryour beer's pretty good. So I might
be back. It sounds good.Thank you so much, Grillas Podcast.

(09:11):
Uh, small business owner type supermarketis here in this country. It's a
wonderful place. I love the layout'screat You're right, this is this reminds
you of a classic grocery store,the ones that you're used to back in

of salmon ranch cherry rib and barbecuesauce and salmon ranch trailed dust rub which

(11:18):
is available all the time here atfood food town. Ye listen, it
was fun. We had to besome people. The fact that we were
standing across from a beer vendor aswell was amazing because we did Yeah,
that made it a lot easier totake a lot of fun. So people
would try the meatball and they hadwashing on with the beer and then by
both it was It was perfect.And I just want to say that Food

(11:39):
Towne is an example of it's Idon't want to say small, because that
isn't right. It's a it's it'sa fairly good sized, locally owned market
and they have they have butcher guysand gals in there. They have great
meat produce departments, awesome. Theyhave a beer aisle that's a killer,
which we were staring at all nighthere, and they have great local artisan

(12:03):
type craft things like the salmon ranch, cherry and bourbon barbecue sauce. So
this is a wonderful place and it'sa good small town America market to shop
at. It is there's another personto walk around with other sausage samples as
well, if I remember. Soit was nice they let you try some
of the product here. We triedthe salmon ranch, you know, cherry
