Us yanks do believe Burial is the best brewery in the lower 48! Cheers 🍻

I bought Michelob Ultra when it first came out and never bought it again

Few years back my dad bought a DVD of vintage beer ads from the 40s to the early 60s (USA), it's really funny how they gave you the hard sale: "Our beer is objectively better because of our quality ingredients, and organic mountain water, and statistically more people buy our beer than any other", even when there was a gimmick like a jingle or a cartoon with literal Soviet spies trying to reverse engineer our Capitalist Pig-dog beer recipes. Beer was probably close to water but at least they presented it in a proper pilsner glass!

Haven't watched any beer reviews before glad to see I'm not alone in adoring Pilsner Urquel. There was a pub doing it on draft in my town that's shut unfortunately and I don't think any of the off liscences are selling it either.

the Bud advert is genuinely good

Bud ad is ripping a segment from Woody Allen's Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex... Tony Randall in charge of the brain, Burt Reynolds in Sex Control etc.

Corona is definitely my guilty pleasure when it comes to macro beer, and that's mainly due to all the marketing they've done drinking it on the beach with friends, making memories etc. Imo the advert would have been better without any celebrities in at all 😂

Have you seen any previous Danish films with Mads Mikkelsen such as Pusher The Green Butchers It is Danish film at its best

I was incredibly happy to see a Beer Geeks react upload this week. It truely brings Friday 5pm vibes to the screen, and the dynamic between Brad's enthusiasm and Jonny's dad vibes is epic. Keep the Beer Geeks React videos coming!

Including Joe Flanigan in the Guinness ad was a nice nod to the Stargate Atlantic fans. He and Jason were both series regulars.

Its getting hot now its June in England up to 12 Celsius . gonna settle for a cup of cheap coffee and a benson and hemp

The data I'm seeing is that IPAs in general make up 46% of the craft beer market (in the us.) I can't imagine that 39% would be west coast ipas, so can I ask where you got that 7% figure from?

No shiner bock?

Beer Merchant in Hackney Wick?

you know what is an issue in these videos, I can't go to a timestamp and see what beer you are talking about.

Hazy IPA itself is not killing craft. It does seem to make brewers think they can get away with selling styles that should not be hazy, hazy. Most beer styles should be crystal clear, it is a sign of quality going way way back. Hazy IPA does have that "My first beer" vide going on, I do hope people that start with Hazy, make there way to West Coast, then to the traditional styles that really are the strength of beer

I am so over done with Hazy Beers, at 59 I have been become a beer W****r and find every hazy tastes pretty much the same. I love a West Coast and currently my favourite is Bone Shaker by the Amsterdam Brewery (Canada) 100 IBUs. Happy to bring a few back to the UK for you. My first stray away from real ales was Brewdog, it was different and I've progressed. I've even gone back to Pilsners like ABK. But you can't beat a decent keg beer which is my daily drinker.

nobody cares because you drink sour kraut piss ipa and think its good because you love the taste and craft beer is your personality.

I don’t like over hopped beers I never liked Citra when I first tried it, and it started the dreadful trend where all breweries are making beers like it. It’s my opinion, others obviously like it, but I don’t, it’s so boring that these type beers are everywhere, never mind, some breweries are still making good beer with a good malt balance, with English hops, amber, red coloured, I can’t even mention the dreaded hazy IPA’s……

estrella and san miguel bottom tier lmao 0 surprises there

U gave ultra the lowest score but said Busch lite was the worst light beer. Micolobe ultra is a light beer ..

Hiya from Bellingham in Washington State, USA… I work as a server and bartender at a pretty popular brewery here in town, and we’re best known for hazy IPAs because that’s what our founder has brewed for the longest. But at this point <20% of production is dedicated to hazies. Still though, we have folk flock to the brewery because it’s what they like. I never pass judgement on these people because it’s my livelihood. I simply look for, and love and appreciate, the curious drinkers. The people who ask with genuine interest what my favourite beer on tap is. Because I love our Czech style beers and our German lagers. And our coffee infused brown ale when it’s the season for that. I think it’s so much more fun and productive to just let people who are stuck in their ways to do what they’re gonna do and relish in the moments that you can blow someone’s mind with something that they didn’t know that they’d like. It’s one of the most rewarding things about working as a server in the craft beer industry. And honestly, as long as the beer is good, one of the easiest if you don’t approach it like a snob. Enthusiasm and curiosity breed more of the same. Gate keeping only shuts doors and minds….

Used to drink a pint of Beamish in the Albion just outside Birmingham City Centre 33 years ago. They would pour it, let it sit, and then "shave" it with a knife. Delicious. So my question is - where can I get it in the UK?

“Port-uh”

A British snob. Shocker.

missed oot on Belhaven Black!

Because of COVID and Ukraine??? They are excuses the government used to explain why record amounts of money has been printed since 2020. It has not been helped by a terrible harvest in the UK last year. Or the fact that the government is disinsensitivising farming. In some cases actively trying to harm the industry. Beer geeks need to get behind British farmers.

STELLA!

Stella!/Heineken,

New drinking game. Drink a hazy IPA every time he says hazy IPA

I love going to breweries with a wider variety of brews AND they don't all taste the same. One brewery in Georgetown, I wish I liked it more, but all their beers taste the same. Pinthouse Pizza has a large selection and I think their #1 seller is "Jellyfish". It's their signature Hazy. IPAs were the last of the styles that I learned to enjoy. I still can't drink a Borbon barrel beer... never liked hard liquor. Now I like a good Hazy, DIPA or Imperial IPA.

I really like the American version of George Killian's.

While on a trip in Belfast I really enjoyed „Belfast Black“ by Whitewater-Brewery. I felt like this was the Northern Irish alternative to Guinness :p

Wine doesn't even have a terroir. It's marketing nonsense.

Kernel next please!

Late spring and summer is the worst time for beer, to me. Not much choice beyond these kinds of beers.

I prefer to drink from the tin.

Shorts locals light American lager!!

Friends 'dragged' me on a trip to Napa valley, on the last day I took a detour out to Santa Rosa to get some Pliny as I'd always wanted to try it. For like 10+ years I'd heard of it but never had a chance to try it, so was worried my expectations were too high. I was blown away. The only way I could describe it would be "It defines the style" Everything else is a lesser copy of it.

OK, the hazy IPA focus as a good or bad thing for craft beer is a grossly misguided thing to focus on, at least in the U.S. As a pro brewer for 13 years and a beer lover long before that, I've been living and breathing all things beer and seen the trends over many areas of the U.S. Being in the military since 2000 and the Air National Guard since 2008 in a mostly part-time capacity, it's allowed to be do A LOT of traveling and gets me exposure to a lot of different demographics of people that many in the industry do not interact with very much. It definitely keeps me grounded in reality in terms what the general public knows and like on the alcohol front. From my wide perspective, the "downfall of craft beer" started as more people that got into the industry to start breweries that had little to no knowledge or passion for beer and brewing more than anything. These more business focused people had us brew more and more what sold most and ignored diversity of styles that what so common for years when brewers were also the owners calling the shots. Some of these owners looked at larger trends from the sales data that was available, which usually is generated for and focuses on large breweries with huge distribution networks to manage. We were forced to chase trends more and more. Some of this increase in owners/managers with less knowledge and passion for beer, coupled with newer waves of brewers that came of age with a solid craft beer presence, forgot or weren't aware of how much work it was to educate everyone on what beer was and could be beyond American Light Lager. With every person that came through the door, you had to check their level of knowledge and usually had to guide people through the beer styles to find what they liked most. For several years now, it seems most people just assume everyone knows all the basics of beer, but that absolutely nonsense, even beyond the fact someone comes of drinking age every day. Even though we blew past the 10% share of the market that we wondered if we'd ever achieve, craft beer is still a small percentage of beer sales in the U.S. and mostly around the world. The lack of education I see at most breweries isn't helping our cause. I certainly was one of the brewers that didn't welcome hype beer or NEIPAs with open arms, but back in 2009 I was saying a dry-hopped American wheat beer would be better than all the boring American wheat beers that were growing in popularity. IPA still wasn't the number one craft style on a national level with Amber still holding on with things like American wheats pretty popular, especially since more and more brewers were losing their minds with how bitter they can make an IPA. I think that stalled craft growth from what it could be until NEIPA came along--but even then, there are people to this day that will not touch an IPA because of the reputation is got during the first hop war. Also, so many people now only know craft beer as being IPA, which mostly started once IPA became the number on seller, but also due to the above issue of just brewing what sells the most. I was on the trip through Northern California in early 2019 and finally was able to go to Moonraker because they were never open when I went through before. It was really busy and they didn't list style types on most of their beers on the visible board, and didn't want to hold up the line when building my six-beer tasting flight--they all turned out to be NEIPAs (and they ALL looked identical!). A few stood out enough to tell they were different beers, but the others not so much. When I went to Knee Deep a month prior, 18 of 26 beers were an IPA or hop-forward Pale Ale. We did this to ourselves, and did a disservice to beer lovers and people coming to beer for the first time to try out. So in a way, hazy IPAs definitely ruined craft beer, but because so many breweries only really focused on brewing and hyping them more than anything else. Like I said, we did this to ourselves, but [mostly] used hazy IPAs to burn it all down.

People should let people drink what they want to drink. NE-IPA is more or less the core of craft beer, though it tends to be more and more extreme "it's not hazy enough, it's not bright enough, it's not fruity enough, etc etc". NE-IPAs do start to get to expensive, in Sweden is 50 SEK ok for a can at Systembolaget (the state alcohol monopoly in Sweden), but some cost up to 100 SEK and some foreign even up to 150 SEK for a 44cl can (50 SEK is about €4-5). Befor tbe pandemic you more or less never saw a NE-TIPA, now it's very normal, you even have some NE-QIPAs, more or less cause the brewers need to show that they can make them. NE-IPA and NE-DIPA is more than enough. One issue is that breweries have to come with new beers all the time to satisfy the demand.

Looking forward to this, Jonny!

Tolerance (and joy) of bitterness increases with age. Young people typically start out with low IBU alcoholic drinks that later in life they would be embarrassed to admit having ever drunk . Although not a fan myself, I would much rather an 18 year old began their beer journey with a hazy IPA than a soulless macro lager

I enjoy the NEIPA. I tend to go for Saisons, Kolsch, and some IPAs depending on the hops used. The NEIPA for me is my nice weather drink. Tho a shandy also fills that spot. And perhaps blasphemy, Sam Adams Just the Haze, low alcoholic version is quite tasty.

Who cares?
