qotd: Bells Brewery Oberon Ale. Its a local brewery located in Kalamazoo MI. They produce several types but this is by far my favorite. It is their summer Ale and is only produced during the summer. Very good.

Nice ep! It’s nice having an amateur and “pro” opinion side-by-side.

QOTD – Not a big beer drinker, but I usually stick with a microbrew (whatever sounds interesting) or a bud light/coors light/miller light

Great Show!!!

Definitely one of your better guest shows in my opinion. Very real and down to earth.

QOTD: It all depends on what I’m in the mood for. For a big boy beer I’d go with Chimay Blue. For a higher alcohol beer (in a smaller package then the chimay blue) I’d go with La Fin du Monde. For an every day light drinker I’d go with Hoegaarden w/ a floated lemon wedge.

Why stick to one beer? If we couldn’t have wine, Gary would be out there telling us we should be trying other types of beer. =) At our house we try to switch it up often, depending on the food and our mood. Beer is a frequent choice because we like Mexican food, and the debate is lively between the guys who like Coors Light and me who prefers Lagers, Stouts, Ales, (anything really, but light beer).

My first time leaving a comment, per all your requests for us wallflowers to do so!

I’m a fan of Barossa Valley and Eden Valley Shiraz’s..but yes, can be a bit too fruity/jammy for some

QOTD: Graduated college a year ago and haven’t left my Blue Moon and Orange behind yet.

Nice show. Love getting the varied opinions as well as seeing how others react to your palate. It really helps in zero’ing in on where exactly you’re coming from.
