Just because someone supports a cause doesn't mean they embrace that cause for themselves. I have a "Vote NO" sign in my yard (supporting the right of gays to marry) but that doesn't make me gay.

I'll tell you what I am, a homebrewer and beer lover who thinks pot and gay marriage should be legal. So there!

Stick it to him! People on here sometimes need to go back to what our parents (or at least mine) said "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all!"

I enjoy your videos immensely. You prove you don't need a garage full of fancy **** to make great beer.

Keep up the vids Don and Chip.

So this popped up in my Facebook feed from Northern Brewer:

Brewing TV: It’s Baaaaack…

Fire up your burners and prepare for re-entry, brewers! In 2013, Northern Brewer will relaunch Brewing TV in a brand new format featuring our extended family of expert brewmasters , an array of guest hosts…and YOU!

Because the only thing brewers love as much as brewing is talking about brewing…sharing knowledge, passing along tried and true techniques, and ﬁnding that common ground that brings all brewers together. Brewing TV was created to give home brewers a chance to keep that conversation going. And that’s why we’re committed to supporting and expanding BrewingTV in 2013.

Brewing TV will release at least 10 new episodes in 2013, roughly every month, plus several bonus seasonal specials throughout the year. We’ll be tapping our own ranks of Brewmasters so you’ll be meeting a variety of new hosts, in addition to special guest
hosts.

Best of all, we’re rebooting Brewing TV to feature more of YOU. Have an idea for an episode? Send it in. Want to share your own brew day highlights (or bloopers)? Grab your video camera and DIY.

We can’t promise that all viewer submissions will make the air. But in the true spirit of homebrewing, the best will rise to the top and be shared on Brewing TV for the enjoyment of all.

New episodes begin this spring. Watch the boards, tweets and shipments closely for clues. We’ll be planting hints and teasers in the weeks before each show airs, to give the BTV community a sneak peak at what’s in the works. Community is what you make it. Northern Brewer is committed to making the brew community the best it can be, by continuing to bring you the amazing production
values, content and brew personalities that make Brewing TV great.

So tune in, join in, and get brewin’ in 2013 with Brewing TV.

I'm skeptical, but hopefully it turns out well.

I saw the same thing as well, not only am I skeptical I'm bothered they would attempt to do this. It's like having a your favorite band change the front man and hoping you don't notice it's not the same.

IMO they should just call it NorthernBrewerTV and leave Brewing TV alone. It will forever be Mike, Jake, and Chip and no one else. But hey looks like they own it so let them bastardize something that was great. Oh well.

Yea, I really want it to be good just for the fact that we could use another good outlet of brewing knowledge.

What I'm scared it's going to be is a bunch of product plugs and essentially a giant Northern Brewer commercial. TBD.

I saw that Facebook post too. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they can do it.

Speaking of facebook posts, if y'all aren't following Chip's Chop and Brew page, you should be:

Down with NB? That's odd, why?

If it's good I'll watch it.

I will say i feel stupid for spending lots of $$ there over the holidays. I stayed with northern after they did away with the flat rate shipping and the prices went up. I felt like supporting BTV was a worth wile thing. then finding this out in the new year makes me feel used. well my LHBS has my buisnes now. i hope the three amigos are moving onto bigger and better things. as for the "NewBTV" ill give it a chance but like most bands that swap out leaders, its never going to be the same.

I agree that it won't be the same, so I hope they don't try to make it the same. Maybe they will come up with something unique that will inspire us all.
