Episode 112 (January 12, 2023): Chuck Garrity, President of Death of the Fox Brewing Company

Chuck Garrity, the owner of Death of the Fox Brewing Company( 12:20), joins the show to discuss the insanity of New Jersey beer laws. The Garden State is currently home the most suffocating restrictions on breweries among any other state in the US. Laws are limiting breweries to hosting only 25 “events” per year, all of which need to be reported to the state offices 10 days in advance; restricting food trucks from serving on-site; and restricting the amount of beer that can be sold. Chuck is leading an effort to standing up to New Jersey lawmakers to reverse the restrictions and allow breweries to have their fair rights. We discuss his effort to rally the community around the cause, as well as how to support from afar.

With the NFL playoffs about to begin, we dive into some of the first round matchups. Do the Giants have enough in the tank to beat a thirteen-win Vikings team? Are the Jaguars built to withstand the up-and-coming Chargers? And can the Buccaneers, who will host a playoff game despite having a losing record, pull an upset as a home underdog against the Cowboys? We discuss some quarterback situations and what could become a bloodbath QB market next year. Finally, we finish with the signing of Carlos Correa to the Minnesota Twins.

NOTE: If you are local to New Jersey, make sure you check out the Brew Jersey series at local breweries. Brew Jersey is a call to action for all craft beer supporters, as well as a way to let elected officials know that the laws need to be changed to allow New Jersey breweries to grow and thrive within the state. 25% of the sales of Brew Jersey IPA will be donated to the Brewers Guild of New Jersey to support sensible legislation for the breweries of NJ.
