In this episode of I Know Jax we start out by visiting a local brewery, Bottlenose Brewing. I get a chance to taste some of their core beers, and I also take a look at what kind of food they have to offer.
My friend David from Manifest Distilling is again making me a delicious cocktail. I won't say that this one was my favorite, because honestly, they were all so good I just can't pick a favorite. But this one, is outstanding. It's a Manhattan with a twist. So if you're into Manhattans, this one is for you.
As usual, I talk about craft beer happenings. Right now, there's plenty of Oktoberfest events in our area. I'm also heading out to the airport to talk to Frontier Airlines and you'll get details about our new, amazing give away. Yes, you can win a trip for two to Las Vegas.

MP3:
(1) The final chapter in The Great Skylab Cover-Up
(2) The secret war of the walking dead
(3) How America will relearn the fear of God
In recent weeks we Americans have been reeling from one crisis
to another--the gasoline crisis, the dollar crisis with gold
peaking at new record levels, the fall of Nicaragua, the alleged
crash to earth of SKYLAB, rumors of a new Russian military
command in Cuba, controversy over the SALT II treaty, and above
all the Carter crisis--with one shocking and unprecedented
development after another. Meanwhile, in the background, there's
a continuing drumbeat of lesser mysteries to worry
about--chemical plants, refineries, and oil storage depots keep
exploding and burning daily all around us; railroad tank cars
keep derailing, leaking and exploding here and there--but these
things have become so commonplace in the past two years that we
hardly even pay attention any more. Instead we wonder, Why did
those 41 sperm whales suddenly beach themselves and die last
month on the Oregon coast? Even the marine biologists in that
area leave us with the words: It may always be a mystery.
But that soon fades from our minds, and instead our attention
is diverted by pathetic television re-runs of America's heyday in
space a decade ago. As we watch the fuzzy picture of a spaceman
as he steps gingerly onto the moon, for a moment it is once again
July 20, 1969; and for a brief moment we thrill once again to
those famous words of Neil Armstrong: That's one small step for
a man, one giant leap for mankind. For a moment we may forget
how different it is today. Our manned Space Station SKYLAB is
now officially dead according to NASA, while Russian cosmonauts
are setting new records in their Salyut 6 Space Station; and,
strangely, the American Space Shuttle just can't seem to get off
the ground. What's happened to NASA?, we may ask ourselves;
and If we could land men on the moon, why can't we solve any of
our other problems? But before we can think of any answers, our
attention is diverted again. Here comes another bombshell from
Washington, says the TV, and we forget everything else, absorbed
in the latest bewildering event in the Carter crisis.
My friends, news reports about these events always make them
seem as if they were separate and unrelated. As a result, they
seem to make no sense; and so we do as we are intended to do, we
just throw up our hands. The more evil our leaders have become,
the more we have decided to just trust them; and the more
