Comedian Zane Lamprey and drinking buddy Steve McKenna have hit Spokane with their "Drinking Made Easy" road trip.

The drinking duo checks out libations at the Steam Plant Brewing Co and Pub (formerly Coeur d'Alene Brewing Co. at the Steam Plant Grill) where they try the "Huckleberry Beertini." They also try the "Monkey Gland" at Bon Bon and sample the "Blueberry Creme" Ale at Northern Lights Brewing Co.

They also stop in to Dry Fly Distilling and the Baby Bar.

The HDNet series featues Lamprey and "stunt drinker" Steve McKenna traveling the U.S. in search of local drinks and drinking customs, according to a news release. The show features Monterey, Miami, Tampa, Cape Cod, Washington D.C., Seattle, Santa Barbara, Aspen and other cities.

"Drinking Made Easy, Spokane" airs Wednesday, Feb. 22 at 8 p.m. Eastern on HDNet, which is available nationally via DIRECTTV and through Dish Network. Check local listings on Comcast, Concept Communications Corp. and Northland Communications for more details.
