“The Heady Topper is a very drinkable IPA. For an 8 percent beer, it goes down smooth. It’s so easy to drink, just like a lot of the Stone beers.” — Chad Rich on Beer Sessions Radio

“I knew I was going to lost 100% of the clientele [of the previous bar]. When you have a clientele with a fairly successful small-scale business, it’s tough to go in and wipe out your entire clientele and start from scratch.” — Daniel Lanigan on starting The Moan and Dove, Beer Sessions Radio
