good show
QOTD: hard to choose only one, but i’d probably have to go with the Allagash Dubel (not sure on spelling)

Qotd: Sorry guys, I just dont dig the beer. I do have a small soft spot for super skunky pilsners. Nice show, always cool with a guest! Thanks!

QOTD: Innin and Gunn. Oak Barrel aged beer. Bittersweet and smooth. A scotch/wine lover’s beer for sure. Second choice is Stella. On taste alone it is great, but their advertising campaign is world-class. “I would rather die of thirst than drink from teh cup of mediocrity”. You just can’t beat that.

Thanks for the shout out G! Bern’s was indeed an incredible evening!

Awesome episode.

QOTD: Just like with wine, depends on what I am eating. Just had a Smuttynose IPA with Sushi, which was great. For a BBQ, St. Peter’s Old Style Porter. My all time favorite beer is the Brooklyn Chocolate Stout.

QOTD: A good craft brewery pale ale.

Just started watching and love it. But someone needs to proof read the episode pages. At the top it says “Lets see their take on the Austrian reds!” I thought McLaren was in Australia ;). And the wines listed under Wines tasted in this episode:
2006 Nugan Estate Shiraz
2002 Eppalock Ridge Shiraz
2006 Nugan Estate Shiraz
2002 Eppalock Ridge Shiraz

oops!

But I love the show. And I love Shiraz. Gotta try some Eppalock.

P.S. Interesting how you developed your palette. I have a friend who teaches wine certification courses. She has never tasted strawberries, cherries, or most fruit in her life. She developed her palate the opposite way, by identifying wine flavors and having others tell her “that’s strawberry” etc. She has an amazing palette and nose.

QOTD: My own home brewed Red Ale.

Wana, I am working with East Village Books to setup the event in Des Moines, Iowa. I will be posting updates to my blog and need others to help me spread the word to ensure an epic event. Check out the blog post and feel free to contact me direct if you have questions!

at last….. Oz shiraz back on the menu….

qotd….
don’t drink beef much, prefer sodas…..
if no choice, will go for german wheat beer, cloudy ones……

Great show. Guests are fabulous. . .especially those that “tell us what they truly think”. It was fun to watch his face turn more red as the show went on and he drank more wine!

QOTD: Blue Moon–a Belgian White Ale

QotD: Big fan of Corona. That would be a desert island beer for me. Guinness is another favorite.

QQOTD: Usually a Miller Lite drinker, but I do change it up with Stella Artois, Newcastle, and Negro Modelo(4 cinco de mayo). I think most beer is good stuff.

Dogfish Head IPA is my go to beer for this time of year. A case is in the fridge at the moment.

In the winter, a darker brew – most anything from Unibroue.

Boddington’s Cream Ale or a Fuller’s bitter.

Hacker-Pschorr Octoberfest, from a tap.

I love expanding my beer palate as much as i love expanding my wine palate… I’m big on milk stouts right now, but if i had to choose only one thing, it’d have to be a Chimay Blue. or anything LaChouffe makes. yum.

QOTD: I’m a big fan of Aventinus Weizenbock, a nice deep brew with a personality to match some hearty, flavorful meals. Definitely not something I’d reach for on an everyday basis, but when the mood hits it always satisfies!

Any beer is OK with me.

Gary, its been a while, but it looks like I picked a good time to come back. I ordered two copies of your book, and thanks for the email about that.

QOTD – Youngs Chocolate Stout

QOTD- Most anything dark, Becks, even Michelob.
But mostly a wine drinker these days.

Great ep… qotd..gimme a ShinerBach

Enjoyed the show. QOD-Bells Oberon

Sorry. Not a Shiraz fan. At all.

QOTD: Guinness, it’s the only beer I like (and I have a hard time calling it beer).

Odell’s IPA (Fort Collins, CO)
