    Great show. I have been looking out for something like this for the past 100 shows or so. It is the first episode I can actually use in my everyday life as none of my friends drink wine (but I am trying to expand my horizons). Next time I am with my co-workers I will definitely be mentioning trying Lambric beer either at the next lunch or bringing some to the next barbeque.

  • A and G – Good stuff, Lambics are the best beers, age-worthy and complex. Alec did pretty well, knows his stuff. But needs to start pronouncing Gueuze like the Belgiums: “Gerrr-zzz” 🙂

    Great show. I found reading the information on the websites that were linked-up (by Mott, of course), was very helpful in following the show. I knew nothing about Lambic beer and its very interesting, I will try it — if I can find it.

  • I have a trip to Belgium and The Netherlands planned in 2009 and have 2 days in the Pajottenland area scheduled because I friggin LOVE lambic… Seriously, thanks for rockin’ this episode.

    QOTD: Alec, you rock. But a word of advice… those who enjoy the greatest job security typically don’t publicly play the roll of “Gregor Mendel” to their boss’s “Gary, the kid who ate glue in science class”.

    Great Show! QOTD: Between Alec talking about pot and his terrific “we are always looking for good head” remark … I would have to rate you a 98, which is surprisingly what I normally rate bacon! Great stuff!

  • Taylor

    QOTD Doing a great job, Alec. Loving the beer shows as well. What did the cheese get rated?

  • Rowland

    I noticed you didn’t spit much of that beer Gary! And finally you give Mott a glass! Finally. ok and Alec, that sweater vest is not bringing any class or style, you look like peter parker before he got bit by the spider. Try some Van Heusen or Ben Sherman button ups, and leave the wool in the closet till its actually cold (which i doubt it ever is in that super temp controlled building).
    keep rockin

    ps any episodes from India? or was that purely vacation?

    What’s this! An episode about the finer products of my home country? A very good idea, and I hope to see several more episodes like this, we got quite a few more beers I think you guys would like.

    Like a “la chouffe” and a “westvleteren” but also a plain and simple Duvel.

    Alec: you were doing great, we could tell you know your stuff and are really passionate about beer! (p.s. if you can’t read the label, mail me a photo and i’ll translate it for you, it’ll either be in french or in dutch)

    QOTD: He brought a touch of class to a beer show, informative.

    I prefer Wine with Gary’s style. I think he offended Catholics,
    Vegans, and people that eat cheese not with there knife.

    Tounge and cheeeek!! lub yu Gary
