Yeah, most (all?) non-homebrewers have 3 basic questions about homebrewing:

1) is it legal?
2) is it dangerous?
3) is it cheaper than buying a 12er of Bud Light?

Face it, past that, in general, the audience TV execs are after doesn't care.

I mean, can you see Ryan Seachrist (however the hell you spell his name) saying on Fox 2-3 times a week:

Vote now!!!!!

Txt 001 for Revvy's Mole Porter
Txt 002 for BierMuncher's Outter Limits IPA, or
Txt 003 for EdWort's Haus Pale Ale

Though, I will admit that ~95% of my friends have asked if I saw Brewmasters, Moonshiners, or How Beer saved the world...

Hahaha good point.

If this show does get picked up, for the love of god keep it off NBC, FOX, and CBS. Most of their reality shows are so overproduced (looking at you America's Next Great Restaurant).

I would really like to see something like Brewmasters come back and showcase a different micro each episode. That might even get more people into the brewpubs as they realize what's around them, kind of like Diner Drive-Ins and Dives has done for small restaurants.

I went to a beer festival the weekend before last where we had a beer tasting and pairing. I could definitely watch a show on how to make the food they had for us to pair with the beer. Some of my favorites were the cheeses they had though. Try a sage cheddar cheese with your next homebrew. It's delicious! They also had a port cheese and stout cheese which were both good as well.

Sadly, the negative stigma assosciated with alcohol prevents something like this (in my opinion); yet it's okay to continually show food prep and restaurants that serve 3000 calorie meals with dozens (hundreds?) of grams of saturated fat.
