I’ll take a break from posting photos from my trip to China today to announce the launch of a new project.

Travel by the Pint is a video podcast featuring interviews with brewmasters and brewpub owners from around the country. Local attractions are also spotlighted in each episode.

This project has been in the works for over a year and filming of the interviews began last May. The entire first season is shot and in production but we are oh-so-happy to finally be able to announce that our first episode is now available on the Travel by the Pint web site. The vidcast is also available through the iTunes store by individual download or as a free subscription.

Steve Mazylewski (above), the brewmaster at Hog Haus Brewing Company in Fayetteville, Arkansas, was kind enough to be our first interview and appears in the first episode along with a visit to the nearby Coleman Theatre in Miami, Oklahoma. The restored vaudeville theatre has previously appeared on this blog as well.

We’ve had a great time getting this project rolling and have lots of plans for its future. Please stop by the Travel by the Pint web site site and check it out. We hope you enjoy it. And — don’t forget — please drink responsibly.
