12:00: The Rochester Real Beer Expo and how breweries are adjusting to turbulence in the industry
1:00: Rochester Mayor Malik Evans on the 2025 State of the City address
The Rochester Real Beer Expo has a new curator this year in Rob Richenberg. Richenberg aims to narrow the focus of the festival to New York breweries. That move comes at a time when the craft brewing industry has seen some turbulence, with both major players in the local scene and small breweries struggling to keep doors open and taps flowing. This hour, guest host Gino Fanelli explores it all with his guests:
- Rob Richenberg, curator of the Rochester Real Beer Expo and owner/operator of BrewBuddies
- Paul Leone, executive director of the New York State Brewers Association
- Zachary Allard, head brewer/co-owner at Iron Tug Brewing
Then in our second hour, we're joined by Rochester Mayor Malik Evans. Following up on the last State of the City address of his first term in office, the mayor sits down with guest host Gino Fanelli to discuss his administration's accomplishments and the challenges the city still faces — from public safety, to the economy, housing, and more. Our guest:
- Rochester Mayor Malik Evans
