He's one sexy mofo. I thought Jamil was finally letting his crush out of the closet.

Justin and Scott looked exhausted, pissed, stressed, and absent for the last few months while they tried to complete their vision of what a taproom should be. I was hoping that they could at least make it very good. I can honestly say that the Hop Grenade is excellent. Due to the variety of bars and restaurants in Todos Santos Plaza, the customers in the Hop Grenade tend to be people who truly enjoy craft beer (I did not hear a single person ask for a beer that "tastes like Coors Light".) Second, the staff is very knowledgeable when it comes to their beer. Third, the atmosphere cannot be beaten. You will find hidden hop grenades everywhere, 2 patios with ample seating room, and a table that is supported by a miniature Golden Gate Bridge. Lastly, it is now easier to listen to a live show. It used to be miserable to try to listen to a show in-studio unless you were seated in a padded chair with microphone in front of your face. Every show recorded in the studio will be broadcast live within the bar. Hopefully you will be able to catch a live episode of that other show there too.

This sounds awesome. Does the studio in the building mean there might be some of that "Show that Cannot Be Named?" in the future?

And if I skip NHC to visit, to I get some sort of bling?
