Now a effervescent preview of Saturday’s thirst-quenching show. It’s not, with profuse apologies, for dieters. If we’re successful we will always leave you incredibly hungry and thirsty. In our case, and upon careful reflection, that’s probably a pretty good thing… As always, we greatly appreciate you being a part of our loyal listening audience.
It’s Home Opening Weekend for our Halos. We’re live from Golden Road Pub OC located right across the street (E. Orangewood Ave.) from Angel Stadium from 10:00 a.m. to 12 Noon.
The menu offerings at Golden Road Pub OC are far from the pedestrian. Guest satisfaction is high and repeat business is the norm. Golden Road’s Director of Restaurant Operations, Adam Levoe, joins us to set the ample table. Adam started with Golden Road as the original chef in Atwater Village (the flagship brewery) before there was even a kitchen there.
This month Long Beach-based Food Finders is celebrating 30 years of rescuing food and eliminating food insecurity in Southern California. With thirteen employees and 300 volunteers, Food Finders rescues perfectly edible, unserved food from restaurants, caterers, grocery stores, bakeries, produce markets and other food vendors and delivers it within hours to nearby agencies such as shelters, senior centers, Boys & Girls Clubs, etc., that service the food insecure throughout Southern California. Executive Director Patti Larson is our guest to more fully explain the need.
Mark Kamarauskas is the seasoned and vastly experienced General Manager of Golden Road Brewing. He joined Golden Road just under two years ago after 15 years with Chicago’s giant craft beer success story, Goose Island. Mark is with us to discuss the challenges of growing the enterprise while maintaining the product quality and entrepreneurial corporate culture.
For enthusiasts of Japanese beer, sake and sushi, a new festival comes to the calendar in April at Pechanga Resort Casino in Wine Country Temecula. The inaugural Pechanga Sake & Beer Festival takes over the Pechanga Summit Events Center on Saturday, April 20 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. with VIP entry at 12 p.m. Proceeds benefit Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley. Pechanga Resort Casino’s newly arrived Sommelier, Mark Amodeo, is our spirited guide.
Since we’re at Golden Road Pub OC what would be more appropriate for this show than an appearance from our regular “Ask the Brewers” where we answer listeners’ questions? Joining us is Golden Road’s uber-accomplished Brewmaster, Victor Novak and Anaheim Head Brewer Steven Torres.
All of this and heaping helpings of extra deliciousness on this week’s not-to-miss show!
Program Note: Next Saturday, April 13th, we unusually follow Halos Baseball at the special time of 3 to 5:00 p.m. Same value-packed show – just a little later in the day. Please join us. It’s just not the same without you.
