i am sooooooo upset that i missed the book tour stop in des moines…. i was actually doing my dj night like a block away from where gary went to hang out after the show, but didn’t get into wltv until like a month later (i think i was reading the book at the time though)

grrrr

Good show. I love it when guests are on. You seem to up it another notch when theyre around. ( Again, MORE Sasha!) I expected to see a lot of OVER the top fruit bombs today, but it was nice that didnt happen. QOTD: Ive never been into beer. Ive had cheap and expensive, Bud amd mircorbews. Even Guiness. Beer doesnt do it for me at all.

Just discovered your show recently, and I like it…now trying to catch up. I’m a Belgian living in Spain, so I guess I have the best of both worlds : really good value for money wines (I challenge everyone with a 4.5â‚¬=6.5$ Campo de Borja for instance) and the BEST beers of the world. Twice a year I drive up/down between Belgium and Spain and you can bet my boot is full of alcohol! So : QOTD = my absolute favourite beer = Westvleteren 12, but since it was chosen best in a US competition, it’s hard to get it (the monks don’t brew more than absolutely necessary for breaking even), but it “civil” equivalent St Bernardus 12 is brilliant as well. Rochefort beers (also trappist beers) are equally wonderful. My favourite summer beer : a Hoegaarden white beer or a reddish Palm…

QOTD: I’m not much of a beer guy, but it would definitely be Red Oak. Too bad it’s only sold in NC, and not even bottled at that.

Great show, I like the recap and it’s always fun to see you talk through wine with a guest.

First of all, GARY NEVER DISS ON THE STILLERS! I don’t rag on the Jets, show some love.

QOTD: Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA, the best beer out there!

I’m 9 shows behind, so I’ll comment on every show now.

qotd…I prefer having the beer I make, mostly english style ales, but when I’m out I’m all over the map. Definitely into the ‘craft’ beers here in the us and traditional european styles. When I’m working outside on the car, I have to admit, I hit the Miller High Life. Make fun of me, go ahead.

Great episode, btw. QOTD – Leffe Brune, it tastes and smells like cloves to myself and my girlfriend. She prefers the Blonde.

Not only is Heathcote swamped by the Barossa and Mclaren Vale, there are quite a few other great Shiraz regions in Australia, that are quite unique, make some very classy wines with structure and character, not the overblown ballsy reds that are seen more in the US. Regions such as Mt Barker Western Australia, Mt Barker South Australia, Gippsland, The Grampians, these are just a few.

Oh, and Cascade Premium Ale from Tasmania. You now have another Aussie as a fan.

If I had to drink one beer a day, it’d have to be a Lindemans Framboise.

If I have to drink only beer for the rest of my life, it would probably have to be hefe-weizen. But can I please through some oatmeal stout in there for diversity?

My list of fav beers is longer than my list of fav wines, I’ll spare ya’ll the long list. I’ve been drinking them craft beers (aka micro-brews) since before it was legal for me to do so. IPAs are my top favorite!

I’m starting to think I like the new-world Shiraz style (as opposed to old-world Syrah, which I really like), although I’ve not had too many and there were a couple of crocks in there.

QOTD – Belgian ale and wheat beers, including German HefeWeizen. Yum!
