Russian River Brewing Company is 6 blocks away…too bad I’m working on a Heitz port already.

QOTD: Alec, you rocked it! Opened my eyes to Lambic beers, something I’ve never heard of before but am going to have to try. I’m definitely going to have to stop in to the Russian River area in the next few weeks to see if I can grab some of that supplication one. I guess that’s one of the perks of living in the bay area of California =)

Thanks Gary and Alec!!

Absolutely phenomenal episode. Awesome job guys. Very informative.

QOTD Alec (Alex) sorry if i get it wrong… you rocked it. You need a beerlibrary spinoff indeed.

Nice show. Not really down with the lambics though.

QOTD: you did great, next we need a show on imperial russian stout or wee heavy ales.

QOTD: 96 plus. I never heard of lambic beers. I never would have even imagined that such a thing existed. I feel less provincial now. Do they have them at micro breweries?

Stupendous Gary and Alec! Always refreshing to change it up now and again. An inquisitive and informative show and makes me want to try some new beverages.

QOTD: A very solid effort; you complement Gary nicely and add a touch of class and restraint that Gary must forgo in lieu of ratings (but we all forgive him). A solid 90+

Wow, what a great show! Learned so much. You should have Alec on the show more often! Mmmmm, I’m gonna try to pick up the Lindeman’s Framboise for this weekend!

QOTD: You are amazing Alec! Great show – why not think about a BeerLibrary spin off

QOTD: Did a great job, Alec. Gary, seems like you were ragging on him a little much. Are we ever going to see Lizzie??? My hubby and I are really into wine together, and it would be interesting to see how your wife does her wine thing. Just a thought…

Doin Great Alec. You helped me find some wines at WL during the Christmas holidays. Had I known you were a beer expert I would have asked for some recommendations. Love the french cuffs. Enjoyed the beer episode also.

Nice episode, like the diversity, I like good unique beers so this was nice.

QOTD: You are doing well. People under-estimate how hard doing a good show is and you are quite natural.

Great show! More beer shows please. Alec, I can feel the passion and knowledge. Keep it up! I agree, Lambics and cheese are an amazing combo. In fact, a lot of beer and cheese pair up well.

Gary, this episode is one of my favorites in recent history for the mere fact that you wore a Vegan.com shirt on the one day you brought meat! I love it!

QOTD: You’re doing fine but my body can barely afford the wine I drink. Beer would totally explode me.

IT IS GREAT TO GO OVER BEERS AS I HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE WITH BEER THAN WINE AND I THINK THE WINE DRINKERS WILL GET ALONG WITH THE BEER DRINKERS EVEN IF THEY DON’T DRINK BEER BUT UNDERSTAND AND ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT BEER.
