Gary –

Need to find some Speedway Stout! Saw on their webpage that they actually add coffee to the brew. Very interesting.

Would love to see a show on ROOT BEER! With all the references to it, I don’t think there’s ever been an episode devoted to it!

QOTD: Tough one . . . geez, this is harder than I thought it would be . . . would want it to be fun, not so serious . . . climbing into the time machine and travelling 16 years into the future and I’m having a beer with my two sons . . .

Fun show on beer. I used to be heavily into homebrewing and beer judging. Still drink a little beer, but I have become a vino fan. I can’t handle the carbonation like I used to. Some of your beer facts were off the mark, but it was great to see Bret passionate about beer like I use to be.

QOTD: My old high school friend, Dave C, who was killed in Vietnam.

QOTD: I think I’d like to have a Budweiser with Carlos Brito –Chief exec with Inbev. …And then punch him in the face.

QOTD: I think I would like to have a beer with Tiger Woods or to go another direction Albert Einstein…..

Great show GV and a great guest too…..I really buy into the whole wine beer world merging they both are everyday beverages that really enhance food and company…..

I don’t really like the taste of most beers, save Belgians. I absolutely love Chimay, Rochefort, and Orvel and all of the beers they produce. Many beers made in the Belgian style (Victory’s Golden Monkey, most of the Unibroue line) are also very nice.

I can’t handle most of the cheapo beers (Bud, Coors, etc.) as they literally taste like water with a tiny bit of taste (to me).

QOTD: Probably my brother who passed in 2003.

A Pats fan! Good gosh. You need to do a background check next time. Good show though since I do like crafted beers and I’ve read they pair better with food than wine. It would be hard to convince me of that fact but interesting nonetheless.

QOTD: I ask this question all the time, albeit a glass of wine, at any gathering where the talk finally gets away from kids and soccer to more “cerebral” conversation. My answer for a glass of wine would be Thos Jefferson. Of course, it would be a Bordeaux. A glass of beer?

Answer: Sarah Palin after a moose hunt in the Alaska wilderness. 🙂

Go Jets!!!!! Spank the Pats

Hey Gary, This was excellent show. I am a long time Wine guy with a WSET certification to boot and I was impressed with the content and knowledge of your guest. Great Beers. BTW- Try Stone Brewing Co -EPIC. A Master crafted Ale made only once a year on a crazy date. This years release was 08-08-08. Next year it wil 09-09-09. Best beer I evert had. Hats off to Craft Brewing!

Gary, it kills me, seems like every time you have a guest on your show, you turn to them and say something like, “Go ahead and introduce yourself,” and you ALWAYS (it seems to me) interrupt them before they speak two words. And you did it again with the Pats beer guy. I think you did it to the chick in Cleveland at the stadium. Dude, I love your blather, but when you turn it over to someone, PLEASE shut your pie hole for 30 seconds!

But I’m still tuning in, love your show!

QOTD: my husband

Yesterday I bought wine since I often buy wine. But yesterday I also bought some beer.

Great show! I love my cereal and my hops…lots of hops…green and bitter.

I think at heart I’m a bit of an Epicurean. I’d love to have a drink with Dionysius or Bacchus or Epicurus or any great life-loving individual, either alive or beyond.

Great job Brett and Gary! That stout looks amazing. Love the stouts and browns….I could use some Berkshire Brewing Company Coffeehouse Porter right now.

quotd: Yo Sister!
Smell it first.

Good show, but a pats fan!? Prolly a redsox, bruins, celtics fan as well. Can’t abide by that.

QOTD: Manny Ramirez, and we’d rap, among other important topics of the day, about how much he disliked boston fans.

QOTD: You Brett! You had 2 of my favorite beers on there which you left for me to taste!! You’re awesome thanks guy!! and if not Brett than Garrett Oliver of Brooklyn Brewery.

Gary – time to start Beer Library TV, even if it’s only a couple of episodes a week. I’m a winehead, but my CKC’s have got me deeply into craft brews, and they enjoy your show.

QOTD: locally available Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA (Easton, PA). Incredible, and you don’t have to go to California to find it.

Yet another great wep, GV.

I just had a Speedway Stout last weekend. It was absolutely wonderful. I don’t know how you guys didn’t mention coffee, though I will concede the Tootsie Roll note. Looking forward to the root beer.

AOTD: I’d love to have a good beer with Dave Matthews.

Nice… beer is good.

QOTD – There are a bunch of historical folks, like Einstein or Jefferson – but I’ll go personal and say my Dad.

Great show… more beer shows please. There are so MANY craft beers now available, you can definitely spend more time on it.

QOTD: My Grandfather (Dad’s side), he passed away when I was 6. He loved to drink beer and I have like a thousand questions to ask him.

Great….two things I know nothing about. Beer & sports.

OK…… see ya tomorrow I guess….lol

QOTD: Eddie Van Halen

This is a great episode.

QOTD – There are so many to choose from. Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Sir Robert Peele, Winston Churchill, all great leaders.

I have never really been into beer, but as I become a more serious wine drinker I find myself enjoying beer much more!

QOTD: My dad for sure (who died when I was very young)

Hmmm how about a beer and wine super tasting Gary?

QOTD: My Dad. There is nothing like good ol’ family time.

Yo yo, dont rename the show just for the odd episode, there is too much to cover. anyway rock on and dont listen to me and keep doin what you do.
dude that guy was MAAAAAAAAAAAD excited to taste that beer, his voice was shaking trying to describe it. lol.
yo gary i want to help you mix the beer and wine worlds. lets organize that beer and wine festival!
changing the beer world, changing the wine world, just changing the world.
peace
