Alan May is joining fellow NBC Sports Washington analyst Craig Laughlin in the beer business.
May, through Solace Brewing Company, recently released an IPA entitled May-Zy 16 (6.2% ABV). The beer is available at all three of Solace Brewing Company’s three locations in Sterling, VA; Falls Church, VA; and the Navy Yard in DC.
The beer is also being distributed at select liquor stores across the DMV in both can and draft form.
Ted Starkey of The Hockey Writers unearthed some vintage Home Team Sports footage that’s so incredible, it was fodder on NBC Sports Washington’s postgame show last night.
The clip features a recently-retired Craig Laughlin interviewing then-Capital Alan May in 1990. While May’s eyes seemed uncomfortable with the bright lights of cable TV, his fully-fluffed mullet was definitely ready for showtime.
The interview is awkward, but in a fun, not cringe way. You can definitely see the foundations of each analyst’s broadcasting philosophy taking shape.
Former Capitals pugilist and current NBC Sports Washington hockey analyst, Alan May, celebrated his 57th birthday on Friday. After the Capitals’ 2-0 win over the New York Islanders on Saturday, May was surprised sweetly by his NBCSWSH family with a birthday cake.
And that’s when May did one of the most hardcore things I’ve ever seen on live cable TV.
The Washington Capitals and Jack Daniel’s are combining for a cool promotion this holiday season.
Jack Daniel’s will be selling special Capitals bottles locally featuring whiskey from barrels picked by NBC Sports Washington analyst and former Cap (69 points) Alan May.
The Capitals sent May to Lynchburg, Tennessee, earlier in the year to visit Jack Daniel’s distillery and make the selection.
Not only did a Tom Wilson-inspired line brawl on May 3 between the Washington Capitals and New York Rangers infuriate the Rags and their fans, but weeks later, it altered the entire direction of the Rangers’ franchise. The Rangers cleaned house in management and brought in three tough guys over the offseason, including Ryan Reaves. It’s an open question if the moves will make the Rangers a better team next season, but one thing is for certain, Tom Wilson appeared to inspire that change.
Wednesday, former Capitals enforcer and current NBC Sports Washington analyst, Alan May, commented on the Rangers and Wilson drama during an appearance on The Rod Pedersen Show.
May brought both analysis and jokes to the interview.
NBC Sports analyst Alan May was on Elliot in the Morning today. He talked about how meaningless round-robin play is, why the Caps are playing so poorly, and why he believes in Braden Holtby.
But you’re not here for that. You’re here to hear Alan admit to diving.

The Washington Capitals’ first round-robin game of the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs will be aired on NBC Sports Washington and Capitals Radio — like usual. But the coronavirus pandemic has changed practically everything else.
First off, none of the broadcasts will happen on location from inside the bubble. Descriptions and analysis will be coming from watching a live feed of the games from nearby monitors. There will be no crowds, only piped-in crowd noise.
Joe Beninati and Craig Laughlin will call the game from NBC Sports Washington’s studio in Bethesda, Maryland. Rob Carlin will host the pre- and post-game shows from a different room at NBCSWSH headquarters, while Alan May provides color from inside his bedroom studio in Georgetown. May added it’s “where all of the magic happens,” which I think is in reference to his great analysis.
NBC Sports Washington analyst and former Capital Alan May recently suffered a tragic loss in his family. May’s oldest son, Devin, passed away on March 27. Saturday, the family celebrated Devin’s life in a memorial service in Frisco, Texas.
Devin followed in his dad’s footsteps as a kid and played hockey in high school. He later married and became the father of two adorable children.
After Devin’s service was completed, Alan returned to social media for the first time in months to address his son’s death and speak about just how much he loved him. It’s heartbreaking, yet beautiful.
Alan May’s face has been photoshopped onto a fictional Mount Rushmore and, Al, I’m sorry, it’s not for superlative play.
Nearly two decades after his professional hockey career ended, May, now an analyst for NBC Sports Washington, remains the most traded player in NHL trade deadline day history.
May was named to TSN’s Deadline Day Mount Rushmore along with Thomas Vanek, Lee Stempniak, and Hockey Hall of Famer Mike Gartner.
The Washington Capitals game tonight will be broadcast nationally again on NBCSN as the sports network covers Alex Ovechkin’s chase for 700 goals.
Joe Beninati and Craig Laughlin will be covering the game like normal for NBC Sports Washington, but in a change from other national Capitals games in the past, they will also be doing the call for NBCSN too.
Joe B and Locker are goin’ national, y’all!
