Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns
Gearhead Consultants and Garage Hour hosts Justin Case and Marking Time met up high above the city to watch it all burn during our recent eclipsalypse. Rounds were chambered, pizza from Sprouts was et, and beers from Red Leg, Pike’s Peak, Outer Range and Dry Dock were sipped, but unfortunately, no pepperoni armed pajama perp apocalypse was thwarted, not even in the driveway.

…Like a kid full of candy who won’t shut up and go to sleep, it’s the episode that would’t go to bed - so much doin’ and so little time. Well, it’s done: Hostus Maximus Justin Fort and Porsche Boy JustMark met up in the hills for fine sopressata, Irish whiskey (that loved Justin but hated Mark) and a chat about pocket pistols - commonly called a “micro” nowadays. From Derringers to Jennings and S&Ws and LCPs, the gerhead consultants whip it out and compare misfires. When it was all said and done, it was just stuff we like (or like to hate): Jaegermeister,...

info_outlineIt's beers and gears season in San Diego, and the Garage Hour goons are out visiting new makers of fine sippables like Protector Brewery (thanks to the support of Helix Brewing).
When one of our teams buddies suggested we needed to visit another teams guy making beer, who were we to refuse? Sean from Protector has carved out a niche in San Diego's grand brewing scene by going 100% organic with his ingredients (it's harder than you think) but that's about where his beers stopped following any rules. Protector's got a delightful - and eccentric - brigade of tastes and styles, and cohost/Master Guns .45 Phil joined Hostus Maximus Justin Fort on-air to sample as many as the taste buds would permit.
It's a Garage Hour that's heavy on the beer and not much else.
