Jimmy Ludwig and Mark Aldrich love three things: History, Drinking, and the History of Drinking. Oh, and did we mention Travel?
Jimmy and Mark go around the world and through time to discover the most historic and remarkable bars, the best Happy Hours, and the greatest drinking stories ever woven into the tapestry of the human race. And they accomplish all this through “The Happy Hour Guys”.
Jimmy and Mark describe their show as: "A series that visits pubs, taverns, bars, and other ‘third places’ that reflect a rich history and capture their community.
