How Stuff Works

Discovery Channel has a show called How Stuff Works. Todays episode is all about BEER! The do a great segment on home brewing and interview Charlie Papazian. This show is an hour of gold.

It airs today at 1pm pacific time on Discover Channel.

Tivo - On!

 

I think you meant the science channel

 

i think it may have been on at 1pm est

 

No, the discovery channel claims that it is on. I can't find it.

 

Nope- it's on Discovery. Unfortunately, it was on at noon Central and I missed it.

 

Didn't miss much. It was Ok back in December and again at the start of the month, but the announcer was awful and some of the facts were "off."

Yep...I missed it too!! Surely they will air it again.

 

It was pretty cool, but nothing you guys don't already know. Although I did learn that the "Urquell" in Pilsner Urquell is pronounced "irk well".

Good interviews with the guys at Dogfish Head, Sierra Nevada, and some small shop named Anheuser something...

 

here it is:

everything i know in life, i've googled.

 

That's just a short clip. I don't have Discovery Channel so is there anywhere I can watch the whole episode on-line?

 

no it's there. click on related videos. its broken up into several segments.

 

I watched it back at the beginning of the month. I thought it was really cool. I can't say I learned anything new, but now I want to try Theobroma pretty bad.

 

saw it today and im trying to find out where to buy it locally for when its back in production

 

I DVR'd it a while back. Decent info. that will hopefully get some more peeps interested in real beer and maybe even brewing. I've showed it to a few friends.

 

gah that website is frustrating. It never made it to the Canadian discovery channel.

The section of craft brewing was interesting and who knew you could get a masters degree in brewing!

 

Who pronounced that? An American announcer or a German/Czech rep (the border's moved several times...)?

I lived in Germany for 9 years (also been to Plzen) and it's always been pronounced more like "Oar-qwell", meaning "original spring".
