Episode LXXVIII (78): BECAUSE ANY DAY IS A GREAT DAY TO RELEASE A (NEW) RUSSIAN IMPERIAL STOUT - Tonight (Thursday, March 12) the Galactic Power Hour returns to the road as we visit Saloon Door Brewing and “break in,” broadcast-wise, the brewery’s brand new private event space (perfect for weddings, rehearsals, parties, showers and everything else you can think of), The Texas Room. We will also celebrate the new release this evening of “The Fluffernutter” Russian Imperial Stout and dive deep into a craft-beer-powered discussion on a ranger of interesting topics with Saloon Door brewers Louis Barrera, Alexander TheAcceptable and Joshua Anderson. Although Mighty Mike is on vacation in Italy and will be absent tonight, GCPH alumi and Houston Craft Beer Influencer Sylvia B from Draught Queens radio and Co-Chapter Lead at Houston Girls Pint Out will be reuniting with host John Ennis to help keep the conversation (and beers) flowing. It should be a great show and if time allows, we will tease some of what is on tap this weekend in beer, music and space thanks to our friends at the SCENE Magazine including following up on last week’s discussion with Punkstar Radio’s Khris Harding and Glen Autry and the platinum selling, Grammy nominated hard rocker Paul Crosby about this weekend’s massive Willow Fest all-day show on Saturday, March 14 at the Brazoria County Fair Grounds featuring Crosby’s internationally-known band Saliva, The Hunger, Faceplant, Downfall 2012, Dead Set Red, Alvin & the Slickpunks, Tame Fury, Cripple The Empire, The Dope Show, Hour 25, King Baby & King Kello among others. Other upcoming shows of note include tonight’s (Thursday, 3/12) appearance of the Celtic hard rockers the Blaggards at T-bone Tom’s, the award-winning Southern-Fried rock and blues of guitar ace and singer/songwriter Mark May and his band at Katie’s tomorrow night (Friday, 3/13) and fan favorite The Slags Saturday (3/14) at Jackie’s Brickhouse. And, as always, there is a full lineup of music just down the street from our studio at Scout Bar all weekend long including the Deft-Ones - a tribute to Deftones and Revolver- a tribute to Rage Against the Machine on Friday night (3/13) and the Black Market Tragedy Album Release Show with support acts Para Bellum, Seven8Seven, Eastgate and Shaving Susie on Saturday night (3/14).
