WILK Friday BeerBuzz 23 Mar 2012 3 Guys & A Beer’d w/Johnny Waering, Jon Bronson & Matt Zuk

Back in Nov of 2009, my pal Johnny Waering held his 2nd annual tasting event, and he and friends Jon Bronson, Dave Oakley & Matt Zuk brought out a Pale Ale & IPA that they were testing, and after a few beers talked about their “plan” to open 3 Guys & A Beer’d.  In May 2011 Johnny updated me on their progress, and slowly but surely they worked out all the details and opened their doors just weeks ago.

Beginning with their Wheat the People & Ladder Dive Rye IPA the guys have slowly been getting their beers out to the public and showing up in more and more local bars.  Coming to us from Carbondale, PA, the guys have been brewing, testing and building their brewery at 10 Enterprise Dr…and yes part of the build process lead to a ladder dive and a pretty serious wrist injury for Dave…resulting in Ladder Dive Rye IPA.

We sampled their initial offerings a few weeks ago and really enjoyed what the guys were brewing, but with St Patrick’s Day falling in March, we wanted to premier their new Malarky Irish Red Ale on today’s show. Lots of interesting flavors going on here, and what I suspect was a pretty heavily consumed brew over the last few weeks. We also enjoyed Ladder Dive Rye IPA and really enjoyed that one too….an of course the story behind it is painful and funny (Sorry Jon.) Check out 3 Guys & a Beer’d Brews at any one of the 14 locations Johnny had memorized (thanks Johnny). Something we didn’t get on the air was the new upcoming Chocolate Porter the guys are experimenting with…so stay tuned for details.

Thank you Johnny Waering, Jon Bronson & Matt Zuk from 3-Guys & a Beer’d

, Nancy, John, & Joe for yet another fun Friday.
