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

Oh, man I love sour beers, especially the ones from Russian River (I’m so lucky to get nearly everything that they make). Hard to beat a good sour beer with some piquant blue cheese and some soft goat’s milk cheese. Mmm.

Good job Alec. I’ve never even heard of lambic beer but I will get one soon.

QOTD: Very nice job! I smell a spin-off show.

Triple Cream cheese is amazing btw.

Yeah I caught the new store name dropped today. I went to the gourmetlibrary.com website and it’s still being built…..But I can see Gary now also tasting and ranking cheeses, exotic meats, etc, etc lol

QOTD: Great job Alec. Gotta find the Russian River brew.

I was formerly a huge beer guy, Homebrewer, BJCP certified beer judge, etc, now gravitating more to wine. Cantillon is my favorite Belgian brewer, Payottenland beers rock the house.There are so many interpretations of Belgian beer styles, no two taste alike, unlike American Budmilloors. Wouldn’t mind seeing other beer shows, but maybe that needs to be on Beer Library TV.

I loved the bacon eating vegan. Youâ??re giving me ideas. Now I want to get a vegan shirt I can wear in public while doing the carnivore thing.

That was fun – will look to try some beers like that (didn’t like a gueuze I’d had before). Would love to see a trappist show next time…

Great Job, liked the show, have always been a Lambic fan!

So, I liked this episode. Beer is good. But the craziness of it made me feel like I was trapped on a boat-ride in Wonka World. In this episode, we had Gary rate bacon a 98 WHILE wearing a vegan.com shirt, ask about smoking illegal drugs and the guest called himself a “big german nut”? First of all, I didn’t even know their was such a thing, and second of all, awesome.

Epic Fail. You don’t spit beer to taste it like wine. We give wine respect when drinking it and exploring it. It would be nice if wine geeks could do the same for beer. How hard it would be to bulk a tiny bit on some beer knowledge like tasting and how to pour before you do it on some lame pod cast? Instead they treat it like a new lame trend that they were first to discover it. FAIL.

And they way he grabbed the Supplication and just poured it out like maniac. This guy should lay off the speed and leave the beer alone until he is ready to appreciate what he has in front of him.

What a shameful waste of Cantillon and Supplication.

Also while it might be fun to have a plate a bacon around while you taste, talk about killing your palate and not being about to get in to the complexities of the beer. Wait until you taste the beer then eat. And make sure you taste the range.

That was fun! Alec, your “doin’ fine”, your enthusiasm shows to the point of endearing geekiness, and I do the same thing at times with wine. It is evident that the store is with confident, knowing, and customer friendly hands at the helm (despite the hilarious comment on GV eating glue in science, he too, rulez, in his own masterfully demented way.). One problem, though… No cheese, Alec? None? REALLY? One can only pity a soul such as you, who surely must have done something terrible in a previous existance to demerit such a curse. For that , you deserve an extra drink. Of Geuze. G’head, you can have my share. In over 16 years in the industry, I’d assess that very few can enjoy the sour splendor of the Brett monster, as applied here. The numbers don’t lie. It’s def. a beer geek thing, but that’s cool…No accounting for taste, mine inclusive, just as GV professes. I am, however,impressed with Unibroue’s Ephemere (White ale w/ Granny Smith, and zero sweetness, though it’s not a true lambic. I understand their brewer came from Chimay.

You stirred up quite a few people over at BeerAdvocate.com with this video. You should read this thread about it: http://beeradvocate.com/forum/read/1495895#1496121

So glad to see you do a show about beer! Although you have some beer lovers cringing for spitting out and rinsing glasses with such great beers. Why don’t you use different glasses for trying each new wine/beer?

Alec is doing great, awesome episode!

QOTD – Doing great Alec – crazy beer dude!

Argyle McLovin!

QOTD: Doing well.

It was a great show. Lambics are some of the only beers I drink (Lambic and Guinness).

QOTD: I’d give the show today a 91+.
The Initial attack was not quite as strong as I was hoping, but it was made up for with the wonderful midshow transition – bacon on cheese notes which is unique and quite awesome. Hilarious notes of “If my wife doesn’t put lemons…” followed closely with a “I’m really sorry… ” notes which I found hilarious. Nice long smooth finish into the QOTD which I always appreciate. fantastic bacon and cheese notes. Nice dual-host complexity.

QOTD: Great job, good knowledge of the product and the process…STRAIGHT THUNDER KID!!!

The wearing of a vegan t-shirt while consuming the dead pig parts….. oh, I mean “bacon” – Very tacky. Very sad. It illustrates clearly how threatened Gary Vaynerchuk and his side-kick are to any enlightened ideology or compassionate dietary choices. I still say – Go Vegan

oh, yes! Keep this as your standard opening and format! Explore, expand, but keep this format too!
Nice special effect on ending early the show! hahaha.
Beer, ugh? well, I’ll wade through these shows. smile.

QOTD: I liked Alec. He appears knowledgable and snappily dressed.

Haters on the lambics, relax please. The man puts out a ton a content. I think you can find something in the oh, five hundred other available shows.

Gary, contest to see the lambic breweries?

Great work as always.
