Episode #701 – Gene Mitchell joins for a LandShark Lager Tasting

Gene Mitchell and Paul Leslie have a LandShark Lager Tasting on The Paul Leslie Hour.

Hey and welcome to an episode of The Paul Leslie Hour that’s a bit of an anomaly. Okay?

So, this segment was an idea Paul Leslie dreamed up with the smart folks at Margaritaville Brewing Company in Jacksonville, Florida, that’s the Sunshine State. Now, we should note that Margaritaville Brewing Company is a part of Anheuser-Busch out of St. Louis, Missouri. Ya know, Missouri—the Show-Me-State. Anyhow, this tidbit of trivia and two bucks may get you a cup of coffee, maybe a beer in a dive bar. Paul Leslie was the first person in the state of Georgia to drink a Landshark Lager, which is an island-style lager. It’s a beer that you can drink with a lime wedge…or without. We don’t like to tell people what to do.

At the time, you couldn’t even get Landshark Lager in Georgia. Well, there’s always a way around everything. The folks who make the beer sent it to Singer-Songwriter Gene Mitchell. Gene Mitchell is a great Florida-based artist in the world of island music. I mean, he’s like the best. He’s so talented and also has a tiki bar at his house. What a guy.

Anyhow, the brewers sent a couple of cases of Landshark Lager to Gene Mitchell who in turn sent one case up to Paul. They sampled the beer via telephone which was broadcast over the radio. It was an interstate beer-sampling, which you are about to listen to. Paul was told he was the first person in Georgia to drink one.

You know, we mentioned the 2 dollars. The Paul Leslie Hour could use your help, no matter what the amount we are kept going by you the listeners. Simply go here. We thank everyone who is contributing.

It was the other day, Jeff and Allison stopped by The Paul Leslie Hour world headquarters. The brought a bottle of something and a little lime wedge. You never know what will spark a memory, but know this… Paul’s heart was certainly warmed. Jeff and Allison are like that though, always thinking of the other guy.

So, here’s a piece of history for you, no matter how significant or insignificant.. I think it’s time to start the show!
