Nice ep! It’s nice having an amateur and “pro” opinion side-by-side.

QOTD – Not a big beer drinker, but I usually stick with a microbrew (whatever sounds interesting) or a bud light/coors light/miller light

qotd: Bells Brewery Oberon Ale. Its a local brewery located in Kalamazoo MI. They produce several types but this is by far my favorite. It is their summer Ale and is only produced during the summer. Very good.

Oh my goodness, my Guinness!

QOTD: Downtown Brown or Anchor Steam

Condrieu is never a blend. It must be 100% Viognier.

Gary- AM I the ONLY person who noticed problems with the “Wines Tasted In This Episode” List????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Someday, we will all learn to read………………………..

QOTD:
I am afraid I would have to stick to the sandwich in a glass…Guinness or may be a London Pride…Whatever you do, do it with Pride

qotd Samuel smith oatmeal stout, Bellhaven scottish ale or just a simple guiness

QOTD: Bell’s Amber Ale or Bell’s Oberon (no question)!

QOTD: I would drink Bass Pale Ale.

Gary,

great show !! Listen here is a must read for you, seriously… Matt Kramer’s May 31st issue (print) of WS…. old world/new world… would like your comments on that, as you seem to always “categorize” that way…

see ya soon…
QOTD: Bavaria, from Costa Rica

qotd – anything from Bells Brewery in Kalamazoo, MI. I really love the Oberon and the IPA. great show.

Genny light!

QOTD: Either the Chicago Goose Island Matilda or 312!

That was fun!

QOTD: Magic Hat Circus Boy (or most any of their other brews) or a Guinness.

QOTD:
Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA
Stone IPA, Arrogant Bastard
un*earthly I2PA
Rogue I2PA

Great show, Gary! You inspired me to try another Aussie wine. I started to feel like I was gambling money in Australia, since almost half the wines I tried were way to sweet/alcoholic/fake for me, so I’ve been spending lots of time in France. I tried Yard Dog Red 2006, and it was beautiful. Very fruit-forward, with smooth tannins. A little overripe, but dry, with excellent acidity. So excellent in fact, I checked the label…55% Petite Verdot! the rest is Cab with a little merlot. PV baby, PV!

Anyhow, it carried the %15 alcohol surprisingly well, and the nose was satisfyingly complex – smoky, jammy, minty, and spicy. I’ve paid twice the 10 bones it cost for lesser wines in Aus.

My wife and I are so ready for the secrect pack.

QOTD – IPA is what I am into now. GIVE ME THE HOPS

the Champagne of beers, the High Life, don’t lie CKCs

Awesome show. I loved the look of surprise on your guests face when he walked out of the elevator, classic ! I think that having a guest on helps you get the points across of how important it is that trying new wines can really expand your palate and lead you into trying wines that you wouldn’t have had otherwise.

Qotd: My go to beer is Widmer’s Drop Top Amber out of Portland, Oregon.

Any classic IPA that brings the hops in full force, without going over the top and completely blowing my btus out of my tongue.

I live in Des Moines, and was shocked to hear you talking about coming. I would totally be there.

The bookstore they’re talking about having you at is an awesome local spot, and the city itself is becoming really cool in recent years, believe it or not.

So… Add me to the list.

That was such a fun show and it really brings home what WLTV is all about.

QOTD: apart from Whit Beer from Holland, there are soooo many English Ales that are just so tasty and good. There is a time for stouts too.

dogfish head – 90 minute ipa
ommegang – ommegang abbey ale
brooklyn brewery – black chocolate stout

Big G, Ok now, if I haul my LA ass all the way to the Dirty, you’d better give me the 3rd FL treatment as well. LOL…

QOTD: The ol’ stand by “Sierra Nevada Pale ale”

QOTD: available everywhere, but I would say Newcastle Brown Ale would be my choice.

Gary, I loved this episode. You had a Conan with Andy Richter thing going (my favorite Late Night with Conan era, of course). I would love to see more guest appearances. Even this same guy (he was an awesome compliment to your crazy personality). I also liked hearing multiple explanations of aromatic and flavor profiles.
