Well that was my dirty secret... the beer I'm holding when I say 'we don't chase after trends, we chase after great beer?' Yeah it's not very good
I put corn in my beer.
The corn and rice lines were in the original. It might have been nice to alter those, but alas, it is what it is.

Who will pick up the torch and improve upon it? Add to the story?
Meh, its a hobby :fro:
It was, and it bothered me in the first one too. I kept hoping that right after it showed the guys saying "I don't put corn in my beer" they would cut to Dan Carey saying "I put a ton of corn in my beer. I also make better beer than half the ******** on here who sell syrupy unbalanced horsesh!t with a gargoyle/skull/shark on the bottle."The corn and rice lines were in the original.
You know, the BN criticisms on both the adjunct lines and the high-browed seriousness of the whole thing do have a teeny bit of merit, even though Justin was a complete *********.
Guess we're all guilty of taking ourselves too bloody seriously sometimes.
I say let's do it. Throw in some jabs at Justin, and a suck it JP for good measure. Do it in a lighthearted manner and have fun with it. I'll even get my ugly mug in on it.I was actually thinking we should do a more laid back, fun version, like shouting 'I'm STILL a homebrewer!' And then JoeC can stand next to the Kilterator and say 'Some of us are fsking crazy!' Yooper can say something and there can be a flashing subtitle OMG A CHICK. Not goofy necessarily, but lighthearted.
Yeah, jamesnw, get on that.
That would be the I Am A Brewcaster Video.
...After all shouldn't we all relax and have a homebrew?
I have to disagree with most of you guys. The video was pretty cool. I do like the way it brought people together. But it was far from the great piece of art that some of you seem to think it is. Besides doing a video talking about how creative you are probably should not be a blatant copy. Some one made a comment that the BN contributed nothing to the universe. What exactly did this contribute?
I know that the Brewing Network is not for everybody but it is easily the most information filled media out there for homebrewers. These guys interview the rockstars of the brewing and homebrewing world. Just because they like to screw around and have fun does not negate this. If it was all info I don't think I could listen.
If you had really paid attention you would have understood that the comments on the show were all in fun. After all shouldn't we all relax and have a homebrew?

Hi Folks,
Justin here from the The Brewing Network. Never post here (or anywhere actually) but thought I'd chime in since there seems to be a lot of feelings going on. And more so just to show some respect for the BA forum.
I don't feel the need to respond to criticism of The Sunday Session per say. We are what we are and do what we do because it is what we love and it is also what works. Oh, and we're really great at it too (sense of humor folks...easy now) I appreciate all the comments and always take criticism into account when building our shows. Our product is public and anything that is given to the public will have varied reactions. It's my business to know that.
As for the video commentary, I said what i thought about it. Why do we all have to agree that everything published about beer or homebrewing is good? I think it's cool that the homebrewers wanted to make it and felt passionate about it, but why do I have to like it to be a "good homebrewer" or a "good beer lover". The answer is that I don't. I make my living discussing the craft beer and homebrew realm. It is my job to have opinions and broadcast them. It doesn't bother me when people don't like my opinions. They are mine and not the end all be all, no matter how loud our voice is. But when things are made public, they are open to public criticism, period. Doesn't mean I wouldn't love to talk beer with anyone involved in the video, or that I think they suck personally. I just did not appreciate the video. Weird I know.
Is it any different when Beer Advocate or one of the trade magazines posts a negative review of a craft beer they didn't like? Surely the brewer put his heart into the beer and could be offended by the review. But it is understood that these reviewers mean no malice toward the brewers in print. An honest opinion is expected from all of you, and by me as well. Maybe there is something about the audio version of criticism that is particularly offensive.
I'll finish with a couple corrections though so that at least the criticism about my commentary can be properly guided since it appears that many of the most offended posters did not actually hear my words. I did not really care about the production value of the video, although some of my co-hosts did. I get that it's a home made youtube video, so that is to be expected. Our videos suck too in that regard. We are an audio company. What I disliked was the commentary and the seriousness. I can see how some folks will like that. I found it pretentious and funny to watch. Criminal I know, but that's how I saw it.
Overall, I'm glad it was made. It's not easy filling three hours of terrible radio with zero beer information so material is always welcome. If any of the makers or participants are particularly hurt by my comments, please know it is never my intention to hurt anyone's feelings. I'll buy the beer if it helps and will happily listen to all the bashing of my show you can muster.
Prost and respect!
Justin
