    I've recently taken a liking to videogame streaming, because I'm able to talk to a wide variety of people about almost anything. With this in mind, do any of you know of any beer reviewers that stream?

    I've thought about opening a big beer every friday and reviewing it along side my normal stream, but I'm not sure how much overlap there would be in interests.

    I'm sure you've heard of it...Facebook Live. People are live feeding anything and everything including beer samplings, like this one (click me).

    Judging from the amount of comments during the video, there are plenty of like minded and interested folks. Finding them and getting them to tune in every Friday is a recipe few have mastered.

    I'm by no means a Twitch expert or anything, but I have watched video game streams on occasion. I'm sure there is bound to be some overlap of people that watch streams and people that enjoy beer reviews.

    The issue I see would be how to properly integrate it into your existing stream. In my opinion, the ideal length for a beer review is anywhere from like 3.5 minutes to 6-7 minutes. Not really long enough to warrant a stand alone stream for it (just toss it up on YouTube). Assuming you have some kind of existing fan base, you'll want it to be pretty interactive (in the beginning at least) I'm thinking. There are probably a few ways to achieve that.

    I think this would be a cool feature that BA add into their site. Maybe they could somehow do a live stream review and members can comment, chat, etc. That would be a sweet feature I think. Or maybe BA can allow members to add a video to their beer review here that shows you trying the beer and commenting on it, that also could be cool.

    Cheers
