qotd: a micro brewThe wino in me has to point out that Condrieu isn’t ever a blend, it’s 100% viognier, no marsanne is allowed. (ditto for Chateau-Grillet)

    Definitely a Guinness – can’t beat it. And yes, the cliche is true – it does taste better in Ireland!

    QOTD: I’m an IPA guy, and the best is brewed during fresh hop season out here in Oregon. My absolute favorite is Bridgeport Hop Harvest Ale, an Imperial style IPA. However, it’s only made once a year in a very limited amount so the rest of the year I primarily drink Bridegeport IPA.

    Why is Gary doing the fat guy trick of keeping his button down shirt untucked?

    QOTD: I just had a Hoegaarden the other night and it’s amazing. But for rest of your life.. Something good and light – Stella Artois?
    Something a little more bold – Sam Adams Light?
    Tough question. Negro Modelo?

    Without a doubt, one of the best episodes in a long time. What a great guest, you two could do the show together! I would have to say my beer of choice would be Guiness or Blue Moon Pale Ale with some orange in it.(Andy)

    Edie also likes Blue Moon or Cider beer.

    Stella Artois, Samuel Adams Black Lager and Samuel Adams Cream Stout.
    I hope this QOTD will encourage you to another beer show as you said you wanted to, or a WLTV first (I believe) whiskey show.
    Thanks, keep changing the world.

    I had so much fun watching this! What a nice man.
    I’m not much of a beer drinker. For me it’s all about wine. However, if you’re going to press me, I have tried some microbrews that I like, but a staple may be a St. Paulie Girl or Red Truck; and, if we’re going with Mexican food, a Pacifico w/lime.
