Favorite YouTube beer show?

Yeah, it does appear his channel got taken down. I wonder why.....

 

Really dug deep into the archives for that post.

 

Beer Run With Jesse. haha

 

He's really 12

 

I get that sentiment totally ... I fall into the "big beer" trap a ton, all told though a lot of that comes from beers that friends and viewers send to me for review. I end up feeling like I have a duty to get "given/sent" beers up and on so a lot of a beers get pushed back in the queue.

That being said I should try and even-seven that shit out. I mean, I pride myself on throwing tons of old school, vastly underrepresented European/Belgian jams up, and while I have peppered in quite a few lagers/pilsners, I totally have left a lot of those styles wanting.

It's a tough, and most first worldly of roads to hoe, but your totally effing right.

Balance is the key ... so hopefully with "smaller" styles becoming more prominent my 'ish won't look like hoppy-roofie-town!

 

I watch most of those listed, and added a couple from this thread.

I'm new to Darwin and enjoying his reviews.


Thank you, to the content creators. You've helped me find many of my favorite beers.


I don't beer trade, so I won't be trying many of the whales, but I still like learning about them.


That said, I do watch more reviews about beers that are available to me.

My point being, if you're a newer creator don't overlook throwing in the widely available beers.

Obviously don't skip a whale to do it, but maybe just mix 'em in for filler.



What I'd like to see more of? Blind tasting.

It's not that I want to watch anyone crash and burn, it's interesting seeing what people pull up without prompts.

Ideally, a couple blind sips.

Talk about the beer.

Reveal the beer.

A couple more sips.

Talk about what you pull up that you missed blind, or what you're not finding regardless of the brewer's description.

 

Now, now don't give good 'ol Jow/Joe a hard time here. He's just trying to gain the attention of Tropicana so he can do OJ commercials for them.

 

LMFAO! Haha dude that made me laugh pretty good. God, wouldn't that be something?

 

-Beer Geek Nation (He can be a little shillish, but not a bad review channel for shelfies)
-Jow's Arcade
-Behind the Bar
-Blackboard Beer Reviews (Erik Wood)
-Master of Hoppets
-Darwin's Channel
-Rich's World Beer Tour

That's about it I think...

 

My favorite is definitely @dar482 because he actually seems like he has a good palate and knowledge of beer. His reviews are to the point and he smells and taste notes i don't head in other videos. He also seems like a nice guy and actually puts effort into replying to people and spreading his knowledge.

second favorite is master of hoppets. He is genuine and has been in this game for a long time. You can see his love for beer and how he does not look up the beer to sound like he is spot on.

Third favorite is joe.

Worst reviewer is Greg. How anyone likes his reviews amazes me. I doubt he smells ost of the stuff he says he smells. There's some dank oniony IPA that he swears have pineapple, tangerine etc etc. Second off all the beers he gets people send to him and then he begs people for beer and wants more than one often. Lastly he puts zero effort to replying to his fans and just replies a thank or a short message unless they comment saying they want to send him a beer. He puts effort into those replies and then once he gives them his information and they comment some more he just says thanks. He is not like the other reviewers that go out of their way to get stuff and seem to care more about their subs.

 

Thanks for checking out the channel. Lots of blind reviews in the past if you search.

Thanks for the props! I do my best to reply to every comment and message. Always happy to spread the knowledge.

 

The thing I like about Buds N Suds, their reviews are fairly quick but totally honest. And they review some great beers.

I looooooove the whole blind tasting thing, but it's soooooo hard to set up proper. Even if you have a fridge of say 10 beers and you have a third party set it up you still have an inkling of what you're up against.

That being said a friend dropped these off on me over the weekend ... zero clue what is behind these labels, should be fun as hell butchering all of these

 

Depends on whether you want blind comparison or true blind.

It's easy to buy 2-3 beers and do they blind in comparison to each other, knowing what they are.

But you're completely right with stuff like your can situation. Wish I had that. It's not easy to find people willing to give or buy you beers to review blind.

 

I'm glad I can be super annoying ;-)

 

True that ... I've done my fair share of blind comparisons IRL, but never had the hankering to do them review wise ... I'll have to change that!

And yeah, I got luck when a friend said he wanted to drop a bunch of beers on me, before he could tell me whats what I asked him to blind them for me Should be a fun experiment!

 

Really looking forward to these reviews!

 

I tend to watch behind the bar and BGN.

 

I pretty much only watch Darwin, Joe, BeerGeekNation (chris), Ryerson, and Pete (Master of Hoppets). However Darwin and Ryerson's bias towards east coast beer annoys the f*^K out of me. They fanboy anything form the east coast and shit on west coast beer like it's no tomorrow.

Joe gives an honest assessment, loving east coast beer but being west coast born, and Pete (out in Denmark) is just happy to see any American beer near him.
