Great Show!!!

This is definitely one of the most knowledge filled episodes I’ve seen.

QOTD: You did just fine on the show Alec. I enjoy the education on beers that you provide…especially on beers that I do enjoy quite a bit.

Cantillon make’s fantastic stuff, really skilled beer masters.

QOTD: Love the beer shows, one mistake. The lindeman’s. Don’t put that panty dropper bs sugar bomb on a real show and pretend its anything more than syrup. That’d be like giving Arbor Mist to Parker. If you want to show a sweet to semi-sweet framboise use Liefmans Frambozen or any other of the well made non-Jolly Rancher lambics out there.

Other than that-good show, and I am very envious of the St. Lamvinus.

Mmmmm, lambic. Good stuff! Only brand I’ve ever seen to buy around here is the Lindeman’s.

To quote a recent reluctant black super hero, “Good job… good job”. (Said awkwardly with thumb up.) Alec, you are Beer Nerd Number One. Bring it on anytime. High alcohol beers episode?

I had a Cantillon before and the bottle was similar to the second one but I don’t think it had fruit in it- smelled nice and poopy. In fact, the enthusiastic recommendation from my friend was “if you’re into poopy you’ll love this beer…” Spot on- I love poopy and I liked the beer but what kind of recommendation was that? I’ll have to get it again and retaste to make sure. Because I need an excuse to drink, right?

QOTD- you did very well, keep it up.

QOTD: Nice job. You know your stuff.

I’d like to try Gueuze. Hopefully soon. I’ve had Framboise Lambic.

Knowing nothing about beer, this was very interesting! I love to learn about new stuff, Alec was great…not Gary but great.

Wow, what a fantastic ep!

A very informative and off-the-beat show. I really liked it but was surprised it took you so long to ask about that sweater! Wow

QOTD: You did a great job Alec though given your confidence, you knew that.

I’ll give you a 90+ score! I need to try and find any of those beers.

All hail to the ale! I personally love ale, beer, the sweet cereal brew. Very good show!

I think Alek did great. Gary should learn to be quite sometimes (no offence) Beer shows are a good side-track. Entertaining and enticing…Mmmm…beer.

Rad show today. I like the lambics. Here in Wisconsin we have a good one from New Glarus Brewery called “The Belgian Red.” But you can only get it in Wisconsin so ha ha ha Alec!

QOTD: Argyle-Alec rocks, nerd style, for sho.

LOVE IT! Just as soon as this baby is born I’m going to drink some beer I’ve been wanting one since I found out I was pregnant … I’ll try some of these. Very fun show. I’ve been looking forward to another beer show. Alec = Very cool.

Nice job! Gotta love a little beer. I have had the Lindemans, a few of them at that, the cherry, raspberry, peach, and a few others. They are pretty good, the cherry is definatly a Ludens cough drop.

Alec and Gary: polar opposites. I’d love to see Alec do his own show every once in awhile, at least. Alec, REALLY has something going on.

QOTD – Wonderful. He’s one of my favorite guests. You should bring him on more often.

I’m feeling like Mac may be nudging for a show of his own. I’d watch it…as long as there was no more finger wagging.

Love the beer episodes the earlier show was the 1st thunder show I ever watched. I also thought a bacon eating vegan was funny.

QOTD: great job, great show

Loved the show.. I’ve never tried any Lambics, but I will seek them out and try them. It was funny to watch GV eat bacon in the Vegan.com shirt!

QOTD: Yeah man, very knowledgeable!
