There have been a couple of episodes of Three Sheets that are a little heavier on the beer than others...

While this probably wouldn't be on TV to record, there is a documentary of NC beer called "Beer Y'all." I think there are a few clips/trailers online...

Looks like Beer Hunter is coming out this year.



I managed to track down the Discovery Channel shows from the 80s and they are great.

If your are familiar with UK media (or have watched top gear at all), James May along with another english tv personality/ beer and wine critic created a series Oz and James drink to Britain. A great comedy/ beer related tv series about great UK beers as well as some liquors. They also do a series about french as well as american wines.

This show is fantastic! I wish it was an hour long!

They actually went as far as visit a woman who was brewing for her community, out of a garage! James May and the Brewmistress talked Oz Clarke into cleaning out the fermentation vat - it was funny as hell. As part of this episode they also actually took the time to explain what a hot liquor tank is, a mash tun, and *gasp* used the word sparge! (something they didn't do in the DFH show).

There's a lot of heart, and a lot of humor in this show (and the humor doesn't seem overly scripted - just 2 colorful guys doing this goofy show about drinking their way across the UK).

You can catch it on the BBC America channel on many US cable networks. Definitely check it out (my non-beer-geek brother-in-law introduced me to the show, it's that entertaining)

Drinking made easy will feature a brewery from the city they are in.
