There was a thread earlier that, I thought, lowered the bar in terms of beer tasting. I thought others here might enjoy this good video about craft beer tastings.

Great video! Thanks for sharing. I conduct beer tastings at the local community college where I live and it's always a blast. One of the things left out of this video is helping the tasters develop a vocabulary for describing the flavors. I have often found that when I prompt a taster with the words for what we are tasting like vanilla, oak, caramel etc. they then recognize those flavors that they were unaware of before.

This video split me in two. My American half loved it. It was a good insight into how much a good craft beer can improve your tasting experiences. The English side of me wondered why the hell anyone would need to watch a video that tells you that there is other stuff out there apart from Bud Lite.
Great video!!!
Great video!!!

Mark, I agree, folks need a vocabulary to describe what they taste. Here on hbt, sometimes, people need help with that - "I have that homebrewy taste to my beer."
LGI, it is a little sad - but its also really great that there are so many craft beers available now, and then there's all of us who make handmade beer!

Long story short my Uncle met a sales representative from Arcadia here in Michigan. On his businesscard his title reads "Alebassador of all things Awesome"
I believe he's a guy living the dream.

I had kind of come to that on my own, too. I have an arrogant bastard pint glass that I seldom use anymore. My favorite glass is the Sam Adams design:
My second favorite is the tried and true pilsner style glass:

sweet video! I agree. The shaker glass is not a good thing to use for beer.

i've used this style before. it's nice when you get a little in the drinks, you don't need a vulcan death-grip to avert dropping it.
