Great show! Really loving the guests lately. This guy rocks! As a massive fan of all things Pearl Jam, his analogy just floored me!

The beer looked really great. QOTD: I was thinking of some famous or historical folks…but it’s too hard to choose, so I’m gonna go with my family. My brothers, sister, and parents. Just hangin’ out on the porch/patio, with the charcoal grill and some steaks or a pork shoulder…or both!

CMA

The average American doesn?t care about craft beer, they care about price. And to break it down more, from what I?ve noticed, it?s all about quantity. Which, in my opinion, is what has given beer a bad reputation. Now don?t get me wrong, I like beer. It?s not quite vino, but I like it. But, when I?m the only Fat Tire drinker surrounded by bud light, something?s wrong. Another issue I?ve observed is the ?sticking to my guns? theory. Which is lame, how boring does it get drinking the same thing day in and day out? And just because it?s on television doesn?t mean it?s actually a good beer. Good to see the breaking down of stereotypes.

Speaking of good beers, I?m going to ?link it up!?

While I don’t drink too much beer, I would surely make an exception to share a cool one with her.

QOTD: My dad. We just marked the 6th anniversary of his passing and I would have loved to share a beer with him as an adult!

Yr. guest killed it Gary. Kudos to him!

QOTD: I’d want to share a beer with the late Hunter S. Thompson or Evan Tanner.

Thanks GV and Brett. I really hope you add BeerTV to your lineup. Good stuff and very good tasting notes. You hit the nail on the head on all 4 beers.

Good show, however I find myself more and more gravitating towards wine as a preference. The beer shows are feeling a little dull for me these days.

I share beer with such good friends and family as it is, I find it hard to try to pick somebody outside that circle… probably some great Christian thinker.

Great and interesting show. I am a Sport Bar beer and wings guy but will now expand my palette and try the double IPA.

With the Hurricane nearing Houston, I wanted to get my NFL Survivor pick in early in case I am offline for a while.

1 – 0 after the Giants pick last week. Week 2 I select Green Bay over Detroit.

Great show. Thanks for mixing in beer once in a while.

I’ve been waiting for this for a while! Great show – there are hundreds of beers worth discussing in a very complex “beer world/culture. Gary is right on finding the links (or making the links on the spot – like dragging kicking and screaming) between the beer world and wine land. It’s two ancient continents smashing together.
Sitting down with one person it would be Adam or maybe Eileen, but I’d rather get maybe all the founding fathers (and mothers) together and drink a couple kegs of Three Floyds Alpha King or DFH World Wide Stout – or both!

QOTD: Well right now I’ve love to have a beer with McCain and Obama.. because you learn too much about a person over a beer.

test

Wohoo! Firefox wasn’t allowing me to make comments for about a month. Grr!

Great show today both of you. Really liked the unusual beers, and thx for including a belgian.. best in the world!

Never had any of those beers will seek them out.. Thanks G for sahring the brew.
QOTD– How about the patriot Sam Adams ( would not have a sam adams brew either)

Yo Guys, Cooool Brewskees in da Hizzy. I want me BrewLibraryTV….
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW !!!!! 🙂

QOTD: Ma & Pa

Thomas Jefferson was a huge wine fan. I’d like to see/hear his reaction to these.

“William Shatner, I’d fight William Shatner”

QOTD: I’d like to have a beer with the head of Skull and Bones. See if I could snake my way in there!

I’d share a nice, malty, bitter IPA with GK Chesterton, one of the greatest (and least known!) authors of the 20th Century.

GV – Great show. Don’t forget to come to NERAX in March. I’ll email you again about it! QOTD – I’d have a beer with Charlie Rose (he loves wine too!) or David Crosby (the best stories about musicians) – and my Dad!

Great brew show again G-Man. Oh Cantillon its been so long.

QOTD: With my grandfather Hank, who’s been gone too long. God Bless.

With all the Oktoberfests about to start springing up, this a great topic to cover.

The good thing about the craft beers, to me, is that they’re not made to slam down and are almost impossible to do so given their structure and body.

Great picks, good job, Bret. As a wine pro, and a cyclist, I slake my thirst on beer – slugging a big stein of wine ain’t a very good program… Like Alesmith, have liked Cantillon, love Avery.
QOTD – I have one annual ritual/birthday wish, with an early summer birthday. That is to have a good beer and a hamburger with my Mom and Dad, whom I love very much. It is their love which has made my entire life possible, and I celebrate family and love on that day for as long as God will allow.

This was your best beer show. I fall somewhere between the Bud Lite crowd and the beer snobs. I had no interest in some of those fruit flavored beers you’ve done in the past. Here you do things like stout and IPA, things that a beer drinker might actually want to try.

QOTD: Of course my late father. He and I shared many a bottle of wine. His beer drinking days were mostly before I reached 21. But even though the answer is clear, it’s fun to think of names of people you’d like to spend some time and have some beers with. Here are some: Edward O. Wilson, Lao Tzu, Benjamin Franklin, Archimedes, Jimmy Durante and Louis Armstrong.

I?d love to be able to tell Charles Darwin about continental drift and watch his brain take off.

Great episode, I have never tried a craft beer but after your last beer episode and this one I’ll keep my eye out for one.

QOTD – I’d enjoy a beer with Arnold Palmer at the 19th hole.
