    Don't know how many of you watch the show - its a little goofy, but I feel like I actually learn a good bit watching it as well.

    Anyway, I saw that the new season is about to start on October 3, and the first episode is in Houston. There will also be a San Antonio episode this season (no date on that one yet.)

    Its on AXS-tv (channel 1106 on UVerse) Wednesday nights.

    I enjoy the show as well. DirecTV channel is 306.

    I was at Petrol Station when they filmed there. That was a fun day.

    I also was at Petrol for the Houston filming, but I would have to say I liked Three Sheets better.

    A fun show to watch, but of course, I wish the brewery segments were longer. But I do not appreciate the craft beer chuggings.

    I have never seen this show, but man that guy from Three Sheets really bugged the hell out of me. My roommate at the time when the show started loved it, and I know other people that love it as well. I guess it just wasn't for me.

    Are there any other locations Drinking Made Easy visited in Houston? I think it would be cool if they went to La Carafe or Leon's Lounge. Some old school bars that have been around forever.

    I think they filmed at St. Arnold, Petrol, Leon's Lounge, Under the Volcano, maybe a couple more... and hung out at a few others without filming.

    Wish there was an all craft beer version of the show where they focused more on the beer and less on the chugging. Though the chugging is funny in a demented sort of way.

    Those places, I believe, are going to be featured on air, but I heard they stopped by Anvil, as well.

    I love Anvil, but that place is certainly not "drinking made easy" :slight_smile:

    If by not easy on the wallet, I would have to agree. Once I get there, it's hard to leave...

    I agree, I mean the detail and effort they take in making awesome cocktails.

    The show drinking made easy focuses a lot on really cool, specialized cocktails. I like watching the people and places being showcased, but I hate how they(hosts) appear to have no respect for the drinks or the people and establishments featured, whether it be beer or a mixed drink or even food.

    Ok, not sure why I quoted you champ. It seemed like the right thing to do at the time. :wink:

    Me too, but it makes more sense if you are replying directly to that individual. Or you just wanna make someone feel special with a nitification.

    I met Zane at the GABF in Denver last year, he was just walking through the crowd and talked with us for a while. He was really cool and down to earth. I am not a big fan of steve mckenna on the show. I think Zane can hold his own.
