QOTD. Alec, you are doing great. Just don’t be afraid to not agreeing (or even disagreeing) with “the boss” sometime.

Good show for a bit of a change – would love to see a Bayern Weissbier show sometime! A more affordable price range of beers would be good as well – never knew $30 beers even existed before this show.

LOVE IT! I’m a sick Lambic fan, and Cantillion Geuze is my absolute favorite. Alec, I am insanely jealous that you got your hands on Russian River – we can only hope that they start exporting to the east coast again.

Great job Alec, keep the beer shows coming for sure.

What an eye opening show. I really enjoyed learning about those.

Also, the cheese and bacon with the vegan.com shirt: priceless.

Dissin’ on the Pats fans…drinking high brow beers…wearing Vegan.com t-shirt and eating bacon and cheese…representing the J-E-T-S…THIS EPISODE TAKES IT TO A NEW LEVEL OF GREATNESS AND WRONGNESS ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!! LOVING EVERY SECOND OF IT!

QOTD: Alec rocks the nerdy jockey look (and knows his beers). I approve whole heartedly!

VeganRic:

Please Ric if you are going to say gary is an inhumane person because he doesn’t share the same “diet” as you…take that stick that is shoved so firmly up your a** out. Because somone had a difference in opinion than you….you feel personally attacked. I mean how do you know that this was his fault anyway. The beer guy brought the bacon…how the hell was gary supposed plan out “im going to wear a vegan shirt durring this episode because im eating bacon” right before the day’s episode? Thats right, he didnt plan this, he didnt mean to attack anyone’s views or opinions, It was just a coincidense.

Sorry everyone, now I got that out of my system great show gary loved the lambic beers.

QOTD: You did awesome bro keep on keepin on.

Sorry to be so late, worked all weekend and do not have access to the site. Very enjoyable, expanded my knowledge and was a fun episode.

QOTD – Relax ever so slightly, and just be yourself. You know of what you speak.

I am not a wine drinker, not a beer drinker (watching Wine Library for Gary’s charisma alone – BUT I do drink Framboise from time to time, it is totally awesome!

Great ep.

‘Flemish’ is not a language though, here in Flanders we speak Dutch, which is 95% similar to the Dutch language spoken in the Netherlands.

Lambic is from an area called ‘Pajottenland’, not (only) from the town of ‘Lambic’.

Alway nice to learn about other countries, so try harder next time

QOTD: Trying just a bit too hard. Gary is naturally pumped and focused about wine. Argyle Alec (Dub-A would be my nickname suggestion), was forcing it a bit.

As far as content, the only lambic I’ve ever had was a framboise that my wife ordered when we were in college. I told her if I wanted fruit in my beer… well fill in the rest with anything negative that fits.

Actually, now that I’m on to wine and tasting anything that can be put in a glass or on a plate, I’d probably appreciate it more.

I enjoyed the show due to the variety.
I always like guests.
I am not a big fan of beer, but I am always wiling to learn.

QOTD – You are doing fine. Could use a little less argyle, but your knowledge offset the attire.

Fantastic show!!! Alec seems very knowledgable and has a great sense of humor. Learned a ton about these beers, as I’ve never had a lambic.

We need more of him; every 1-2 mos!! How about a contest to find a nickname for him!! ex. Mottster, Vayniaks etc.

Than wristbands and t-shirts!!

I love the lambic show, it is my favorite style of beer, even though the only lambic from your show that I’ve had is the Lindemans Framboise, but it consistently rocks my world (whether in a bottle or on tap).

QOTD: I love changing the beer world, you’re doing a great job with the beer ideas.
