Thanks to New York Times-bestselling author Chris Brogan and the team from Other Music for jumping on a Google+ Hangout last night with our man Sam.

They talked beer, music and inspiration for a little over an hour and waxed poetic about the marriage of our Music Series Beers and the artists that inspired them.

Other Music's Amanda Colbenson also revealed their top 5 picks (+1) of the year while Sam freestyled some sweet pairings.

• Mac DeMarco
• Peaking Lights
• Andy Stott
• Personal Space
• Nude Beach
• Donnie & Joe Emerson

So, pour yourself an off-centered ale and watch the replay. And if that doesn't satisfy your music jones, roll on over to our shop and pick up very own white-vinyl copy of the Positive Contact remixes.
