QOTD: Doing great Alec. Lambics are new to me but sound like they would fit my palate nicely.

Yeah I caught the new store name dropped today. I went to the gourmetlibrary.com website and it’s still being built…..But I can see Gary now also tasting and ranking cheeses, exotic meats, etc, etc lol

Just because someone is interested in wine.
And in learning about wine.
Doesn’t mean they are interested in shows about
any kind of beverage.
I mean why don’t we have a show on energy drinks next.

Oh, man I love sour beers, especially the ones from Russian River (I’m so lucky to get nearly everything that they make). Hard to beat a good sour beer with some piquant blue cheese and some soft goat’s milk cheese. Mmm.

QOTD: He brought a touch of class to a beer show, informative.

I prefer Wine with Gary’s style. I think he offended Catholics,
Vegans, and people that eat cheese not with there knife.

Tounge and cheeeek!! lub yu Gary

What’s this! An episode about the finer products of my home country? A very good idea, and I hope to see several more episodes like this, we got quite a few more beers I think you guys would like.

Like a “la chouffe” and a “westvleteren” but also a plain and simple Duvel.

Alec: you were doing great, we could tell you know your stuff and are really passionate about beer! (p.s. if you can’t read the label, mail me a photo and i’ll translate it for you, it’ll either be in french or in dutch)

I noticed you didn’t spit much of that beer Gary! And finally you give Mott a glass! Finally. ok and Alec, that sweater vest is not bringing any class or style, you look like peter parker before he got bit by the spider. Try some Van Heusen or Ben Sherman button ups, and leave the wool in the closet till its actually cold (which i doubt it ever is in that super temp controlled building).
keep rockin

ps any episodes from India? or was that purely vacation?

QOTD Doing a great job, Alec. Loving the beer shows as well. What did the cheese get rated?

Great Show! QOTD: Between Alec talking about pot and his terrific “we are always looking for good head” remark … I would have to rate you a 98, which is surprisingly what I normally rate bacon! Great stuff!

I have a trip to Belgium and The Netherlands planned in 2009 and have 2 days in the Pajottenland area scheduled because I friggin LOVE lambic… Seriously, thanks for rockin’ this episode.

QOTD: Alec, you rock. But a word of advice… those who enjoy the greatest job security typically don’t publicly play the roll of “Gregor Mendel” to their boss’s “Gary, the kid who ate glue in science class”.

1/2 Raspberry Lamb
2/3 Chocolate Stout
1 Scoop Vanilla Ice Cream

You will NEVER want a root beer float again.

Very entertaining show, you guys have good chemistry. Alec knows his stuff. Great addition with beer tasting, we need more.

Great show. I found reading the information on the websites that were linked-up (by Mott, of course), was very helpful in following the show. I knew nothing about Lambic beer and its very interesting, I will try it — if I can find it.
