Also the local ,and very interesting, Surly Furious. Surly is a Minneapolis brewery and they make very unique beers. To me, The Furious tastes like Grapefruit cider.

What a nice guy you are, GV! You get a guest on the show, and then have his favorite wine, and a few more of a grape that he likes… What a guy! Great show, enjoyed the guest.

QOTD: I could go for Sam Adams Honey Porter, Samuel Smith’s Imperial Stout, or a Guinness. Any of those would make me a happy man.

Magic Hat Blind Faith.
Shirpazzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Too much of this and not enough of that.

I’m a bit of a fickle beer drinker. I suppose the truth is I don’t appreciate in the way I do wine. But if my doctor’s orders were reversed and I could only drink beer, I guess my choice would reflect the same fondness for sweetness, and I’d usually choose a Rickard’s Red. “Candy beer”, my friends sneer. “Training beer”, my ex-boss used to laugh. For a change-up, I enjoy an occasional Stella Artois.

Allagash Belgian style Tripel

QOTD – A Belgian ale, most likely…

QOTD: Dogfish IPAs are my daily drinker… although I have an increasing respect for Flemish reds… they can balance the malt and acid awfully well. Leffe, Anchor Steam and Spaten all are widely available and very good in their respective fields.

Sixpoints does some great stuff here in Brooklyn.

QOTD: I’ll be simple and mainstream. Corona.

Lovely Show

QOTD: Coopers Sparkling Ale (Australia’s best commercial beer)

Cheers
Andrew

Condrieu………viognier AND marsanne??? ooooooooooops

QOTD: Cold Smoke Scotch Ale – Kettlehouse Brewery Missoula, MT

qod=used to be into IPA’s, still love em, but my love would be belgian (styled) ales.

YEAH ILLINOIS WESLEYAN! – Congrats to the class of 08!

You rock with guests, fun show. Like the surprise factor, hilarious. You’re like the tooth faerie, only for wine.

Feature request for your “Wines tasted in this episode” list on the web page – any chance you could put the price (at the time of the show) and your rating next to each wine? That would be really convenient since my short term memory is basically shot.

Always like a Sam Smith’s Nut Brown when I’m treating myself.

QOTD. microbrews from the Pacific Northwest. I also like Blue Moon Belgian white…wheat beers are my favorites. But I also like coors light sometimes too!!

I’m a wino, but when I go to a bar to watch the lakers, it’s a heff w/lemon.
Great show guys!

Beer?………………..OK, maby a 6-pack a year. Pilsner Urquell. Pretty darn good. But not as good as vino.

Anything from Dogfish Head

QOTD: Arrogant Bastard from Stonehouse Brewery.

I do like the inside of his shirt sleeve..fun show.

QOTD: Anything that looks interesting by description, area or recommendation from store. I like to try different things–chocolate and fruit notes are good. Limited and rare works for me also. It’s so infrequent that I buy beer, that I don’t remember the names. When buying for parties, we usually stick to the basics–Bud, Coors, etc.

Today’s show was great! It’s always good when you have a co-host especially when it’s just a nice average joe sort of guy. He’s not in the wine biz ect. just loves wine like so many of us do 🙂 It was great to be able to relate more directly with what he was coming up with. Not that I don’t relate to you, however sometimes in order to get what you’re getting I’d need to taste the wine and see what you said and TRY to pull it out. Interesting thing about the hazyblur wines, I checked out the site and he learned from watching his Italian father make wine the old school way for years before deciding to make his own. Perhaps those roots were part of the reason the wine came across as something to accompany a meal as most Italian wines are. Just a thought…

QOTD: Well my wife won’t let me buy enough wine to drink daily so I do buy and drink beer since it’s a little cheaper hehe. I don’t always get the same thing (where’s the fun in that). I like the beck’s dark, sleemans, alexander keiths, and lots of great craft beers – to many to mention lol.

QOTD: Newcastle, Samuel Adams, several producer’s seasonal brews, porter in the winter, summer brews in the spring/summer……………………….. but I prefer wine.
