  • Mark DaSilva of Bad Sons Brewing
    May 27 2025

    Episode 22 - Hey everyone, welcome to Episode 22 of Bud’s Beer Blurb — and I’ve got a great lineup for you this time.

    • First up, I hit the Rising Pint Brewfest at Rentschler Field in Hartford, CT. It was an eventful day — lots of wind, plenty of technical hiccups!
    • Next, a big moment for me: I sat down with Mark DaSilva from Bad Sons Beer in Derby, CT. We had an awesome chat — and yes, more tech issues (par for the course). Midway through, the video cuts out, but that just lets you focus on what Mark has to say.
    • UR Community Cares Graffiti Battle fundraiser at Urban Lodge Brewing in Manchester. Artists from all over the state threw down in a graffiti competition to support a nonprofit helping seniors and people with physical disabilities live more independently.
