Great show… more beer shows please. There are so MANY craft beers now available, you can definitely spend more time on it.

QOTD: My Grandfather (Dad’s side), he passed away when I was 6. He loved to drink beer and I have like a thousand questions to ask him.

Nice… beer is good.

QOTD – There are a bunch of historical folks, like Einstein or Jefferson – but I’ll go personal and say my Dad.

Yet another great wep, GV.

I just had a Speedway Stout last weekend. It was absolutely wonderful. I don’t know how you guys didn’t mention coffee, though I will concede the Tootsie Roll note. Looking forward to the root beer.

AOTD: I’d love to have a good beer with Dave Matthews.

Gary – time to start Beer Library TV, even if it’s only a couple of episodes a week. I’m a winehead, but my CKC’s have got me deeply into craft brews, and they enjoy your show.

QOTD: locally available Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA (Easton, PA). Incredible, and you don’t have to go to California to find it.

Great show, who cares what Brandon M might say, you need to do more of these. I recommend anything from North Coast Brewery or Ola Dubah.

QOTD: Would have to be Sun Tzu, would love to pick that guy’s brain.

Good show, but a pats fan!? Prolly a redsox, bruins, celtics fan as well. Can’t abide by that.

QOTD: Manny Ramirez, and we’d rap, among other important topics of the day, about how much he disliked boston fans.

Great job Brett and Gary! That stout looks amazing. Love the stouts and browns….I could use some Berkshire Brewing Company Coffeehouse Porter right now.

Great show! I love my cereal and my hops…lots of hops…green and bitter.

I think at heart I’m a bit of an Epicurean. I’d love to have a drink with Dionysius or Bacchus or Epicurus or any great life-loving individual, either alive or beyond.

QOTD: my husband

Yesterday I bought wine since I often buy wine. But yesterday I also bought some beer.

Gary, it kills me, seems like every time you have a guest on your show, you turn to them and say something like, “Go ahead and introduce yourself,” and you ALWAYS (it seems to me) interrupt them before they speak two words. And you did it again with the Pats beer guy. I think you did it to the chick in Cleveland at the stadium. Dude, I love your blather, but when you turn it over to someone, PLEASE shut your pie hole for 30 seconds!

But I’m still tuning in, love your show!

Hey Gary, This was excellent show. I am a long time Wine guy with a WSET certification to boot and I was impressed with the content and knowledge of your guest. Great Beers. BTW- Try Stone Brewing Co -EPIC. A Master crafted Ale made only once a year on a crazy date. This years release was 08-08-08. Next year it wil 09-09-09. Best beer I evert had. Hats off to Craft Brewing!

A Pats fan! Good gosh. You need to do a background check next time. Good show though since I do like crafted beers and I’ve read they pair better with food than wine. It would be hard to convince me of that fact but interesting nonetheless.

QOTD: I ask this question all the time, albeit a glass of wine, at any gathering where the talk finally gets away from kids and soccer to more “cerebral” conversation. My answer for a glass of wine would be Thos Jefferson. Of course, it would be a Bordeaux. A glass of beer?

Answer: Sarah Palin after a moose hunt in the Alaska wilderness.

Go Jets!!!!! Spank the Pats

I don’t really like the taste of most beers, save Belgians. I absolutely love Chimay, Rochefort, and Orvel and all of the beers they produce. Many beers made in the Belgian style (Victory’s Golden Monkey, most of the Unibroue line) are also very nice.

I can’t handle most of the cheapo beers (Bud, Coors, etc.) as they literally taste like water with a tiny bit of taste (to me).

QOTD: Probably my brother who passed in 2003.

QOTD: I think I would like to have a beer with Tiger Woods or to go another direction Albert Einstein…..

Great show GV and a great guest too…..I really buy into the whole wine beer world merging they both are everyday beverages that really enhance food and company…..

QOTD: I think I’d like to have a Budweiser with Carlos Brito –Chief exec with Inbev. …And then punch him in the face.

Fun show on beer. I used to be heavily into homebrewing and beer judging. Still drink a little beer, but I have become a vino fan. I can’t handle the carbonation like I used to. Some of your beer facts were off the mark, but it was great to see Bret passionate about beer like I use to be.

QOTD: My old high school friend, Dave C, who was killed in Vietnam.

Gary -

Need to find some Speedway Stout! Saw on their webpage that they actually add coffee to the brew. Very interesting.

Would love to see a show on ROOT BEER! With all the references to it, I don’t think there’s ever been an episode devoted to it!

QOTD: Tough one . . . geez, this is harder than I thought it would be . . . would want it to be fun, not so serious . . . climbing into the time machine and travelling 16 years into the future and I’m having a beer with my two sons . . .

You got to try Oregon beer….Rouge Brewery “dead guy ale” and Deschutes Brewery “hop trip ale” (seasonal) or the Mirror Pond, share a beer with anyone, that appreciates good beer, no piss water

Beer? Well, occasionally it’s ok. I like that you use separate glasses. Dump and rise makes me sad! smile.

QOTD: at the beach, just at dusk, with Sarah Palin.

With regards to the double IPA, both your guest and Jay aren’t (completely) correct. The definition Jay gives is what was traditionally meant by the term “Imperial” in Europe (so it’d be an Imperial IPA in this case). Two rounds of fermentation is a Belgian trick present in their “Dubbel.” The use of the term “double” in the US in beer names is sort of a shot in the dark as to what it means, as it hasn’t really been used consistently to mean any single thing. Conveniently, both double-fermentation and doubling the hop or grain bill of a beer will result in a big-ass brew if done with skill, therefore, for the consumer, double really just means “big,” “bold” or “booya.”

QOTD: Probably Maurice Merleau-Ponty, though my good friend Adam would be a close second.
