Favorite YouTube beer show?

Forgot about imasofat. Unsure if they still review beers. The wife always seems like she's half in the bag when she's reviewing them.

 

TheMetalMadman.

That guy cracks me up.

 

Gregs Beer reviews. I catch myself sometimes opening my fridge and say "Let's see what's in the fridge today".

 

Greg's is definitely the top dude. The only downside is each of his videos are 10+ minutes. When I'm in a hurry, I like to check out Beer Geek Nation. I like that Better Beer Authority (did) blind tests. That really pulls out the true taste of the beer. I wish other reviewers would start doing that. However, James Knott was just so damn annoying that it turned me off of BBA.

 

Beer Geek Nation

 

Just keep tastin

 

I don't always have time to watch reviews, but I follow three beer "review" channels on YouTube:

Thank you very much!

 

Albino Rhino.

Gotta love a Youtube beer reviewer who's willing to chum in a bucket on his own show.

 

Love beer geek nation but i dislike how he mumbles and rushes his words. Also i enjoy that he reviews some of the whales that i wouldn't normally be interested in putting forth the time and effort to get, for example any whale thats an ipa or dipa.

 

Darwin is the shit. I totally trust his reviews and consider him the authority. WhatCheers Nick is cool, but long and maybe gushing a bit too much (beergasms are awkward imo). Jow's Arcade is cool too. I watch Greg, but sometimes find myself yelling at the TV when he starts ranting about dates (it's a good cause, but he spends more time on date codes then the actual beer in question). He's also been reviewing a lot of mediocre beers from small breweries that I will never encounter.

 

I've really grown to dislike his reviews. I hate how after the first smell and taste, it's some combination of "WOW, loads of citrusy grapefruit, orange peel, just a dank dank taste"

Also, I know if shouldn't matter, but it weirds me out that he edits his videos like he does. He'll pour the beer, then say let's give it a taste and when the camera cuts back he's clearly already had a few sips, but he's pretending it's his first. It seems very rehearsed like it's read from a script rather than just initial reactions to the beer.

 

Darwin is the most authentic and honest to me, seems like a cool dude.

 

Beer Temple...makes me not just want to drink beer, but understand it. Mainly just drink though.

 

I do like Beer Geek Nation, but I gotta give props to Greg, too.

Let's see what's in tha fridge today!

 

I usually watch Real Ale Craft Beer, The Craft Beer Channel and Beer Geek Nation.

STONE THE CROWS!

 

I think Darwin is by far the best

 

I'll watch content from pretty much anyone, especially in terms of homebrewing, and take notes while I'm at it.

For tasting new beers I think beergeeknation does a pretty good job at:
-obtaining the latest greatest
-keeping it short and simple (2-3 minute video with no annoying lead up-straight to point)
-having a good amount of self humility (fat guy who loves his ales)
-he focuses a lot on ipa's and stouts
-he reviews a lot of North Eastern beers that are available in my distribution footprint
-he understands hops, malts, yeasts and flavor profiles
-he never speaks badly about any product (if he doesn't like it, he simply doesn't acknowledge it)

 

None. The boring review format is such a poor representation of what beer has to offer.

 

I like Massive Beer Reviews and Beer Geek Nation.

 

Beer geek nation and gregs beer reviews

 

I already answered this awhile back, but I'll go into more depth:

Beer Geek Nation:
Pros: Very concise, tight format. Audio quality is very good. Lots of enthusiasm. Stays positive, it has to be pretty awful for him to be negative.
Cons: Doesn't talk appearances. Has a decent vocabulary of descriptors, but tends to focus on a certain handful 90% of the time. Focused primarily on stouts and IPAs.

Darwin:
Pros: While not extremely concise, still tends to be under 10 minutes a video. Wide array of descriptors and constantly putting them to work. Talks about appearance as well. Does some cool things like blending and blind tasting.
Cons: Has a very clear idea of what he considers a good IPA (cloudy, tropical, not very bitter), so I tend to skip reviews that don't fall into that paradigm because he's going to call them boring and move on. Audio quality tends to be a bit iffy at times.

Greg's beer reviews:
Pros: Doesn't take himself too seriously. Doesn't overthink the production and focuses on having a beer and giving his thoughts, which works well for him. Pretty wide variety of styles reviewed. Comes across as very genuine.
Cons: LONNNG. While I enjoy them, its hard to consistently watch full episodes with the length, which I figure to some people is a strength. Audio quality is so so.

I watch a few others like master of hoppets, craft beer temple and joe's arcade, but haven't seen enough of any of them to have a strong opinion. I used to really enjoy better beer authority but the relaunch hasn't quite been the same. I really miss New Brew Thursday, that was fantastic, especially the stuff with Dr. Bill.

Every morning I check out:

Beer Geek Nation

 

Gregg's Beer Review
Louisiana Beer Review

 

I agree on the comments about BGN. All his reviews seem so copy and paste. I think the best 2 right now are @dar482 and Joe! Super nice guys and honest. A list of other good ones are Erik, Crafty beer reviews, what cheers, brew review crew and eerie better beer bureau.

 

Greg's and Beer Geek nation are the two that I watch. I used to watch Greg's a lot more but he just talks to damn much. Who has 20 minutes to watch a single beer review? Beer Geek Nation is my go to now since all the videos are kept to 5-10 minutes.

 

Albino Rhino, Bike Brews Reviews, Lee Russel for Canadian reviewers. Louisiana Beer reviews for Americans

 

Shameless plug: my own of course! But really, there's a lot of great stuff already posted in here, most of the mentioned ones I already watch.

 

1) R. Jay Theriot: Guy does his homework. I learn something pretty much every video.
2) William Geist: Funny as hell.
3) Greg: The one and only, they broke the mold.
Based on comments I'll have to check out Darwin's channel.

 

Darwin, Chris at BGN, Peter Master of Hoppets, Erie Better Beer Bureau are my favorties.

Just started following Joe Spengilia (spelling might be wrong). He's the guy with the arcade games in the background. His Alpine and Green Flash review/rant was great.

 

Wow. Some great reviewers listed here. My channel has even been listed, which is crazy to me. I decided to have fun doing it after watching Dar, Erik and Jon, Joe and others. For me it's just for fun and I will never take beer too seriously.

My channel is Behind the Bar. Just search Nathan Ryerson if you want to find it. I'm still pretty new ;-)

 

Bring back the BBA. They never considered themselves experts, but they had an intangible factor that none of these other reviewers possess. Take that for what it's worth. The host was polished, and for whatever reason the myriad personalities on their panel (mostly mainstays) seemed to work. Also, they got Greg Koch to stop by for an episode. Need I say more?

 

They have these?

 

Greg beer reviews. I find myself smiling at while watching almost every time. I would hang out with the dude. Beer geek nation is pretty good. I like going back in forth from his fat episodes to skinny and back again... Gives me hope.
Beer thirty show is my all time favorite podcast, they always have great guests on from my favorite breweries and I think it's super interesting how they vaporize hops and inhale hop oils like guinea pigs for my listening pleasure. #aintnothinwrongwitit

 

Bitter Poet Madman but he stopped doing beer reviews unfortunately, and just posts videos of him downing Mickeys and other malt liquors. His Westy 12 review was hilarious

 

Beer geek nation
Louisiana beer reviews
Chad'z beer reviews
And if anybody else knows a good beer show that does a lot of Midwestern beers let me know.

 

I don't do any youtube channels but I love good beer hunting's podcast

 

Not sure it qualifies as a YouTube exclusive, but you can't go wrong with The Beer Temple. Great show, amazing bottle shop.
