A&E brewing show tonight--HEADS UP!

[brewman !]

My wife and I watched it. Very interesting. That was the best explanation of prohibition that I have ever heard.

Can anyone post their electronic copy on youtube ?

It was a very cool show. Started out at Elysian Brewing Co. which is 6 blocks from my house! I know all those guys. Also seeing Michael Jackson sitting at the bar at Rogue Issaquah Brewhouse east of Seattle was pretty cool as well.

 

[Ize]

It's definitely a good one. But I'm trying to decide if it's a pro or con showing it on a saturday night. As far as spreading the homebrewing word anyway.

Mentioning what prohibition did to the "variety" of beer in this country, impressed the hell out of me tho....

I loved the open window in the brew closet. It was ok but not what i was expecting.

 

[Jim Karr]

Would any of you fine gents consider burning a DVD copy of it for those of us who couldn't watch in real time?

 

[Dude]

I can burn it for you.

The Colonial Williamsburg dude is in my local homebrew club, CASK (www.colonialalesmiths.org). His name is Frank. He always hosts the annual party at his house, and it is a blast with his band especially.

That was a pretty good show!

 

[RichBrewer]

It was a pretty good show but I wanted to see more on craft brewing. They skimmed over the last 30 years.

Maybe someone will do a show on craft brewing and featuring brewpubs and microbreweries.

 

[roggae]

why dont one of you who have the show recorded offer it up as a bit torrent. if you dont know how to pm me and i'll explain.

dude,

can you compress it? i can tell you how to torrent it. it needs to be out there. i looked and A&E doesn't have it scheduled for broadcast for a while...

 

[Whelk]

Yeah, I was a little annoyed that they didn't really try to talk about the beer itself--it was all about the lager brewers. That was interesting, but I wanted to hear more about the craft beers. And the guy they filmed homebrewing was pretty funny, definitely had the confirmed bachelor air about him. I think it's interesting they filmed a guy who clearly isn't into the gadget side of brewing--no huge AG setup or anything. I wonder if they did that to make it look simpler for people who might try it as a result of the show?

 

[SAS98M]

Yep,I missed it too. Don't think I'll be up at 2am.to catch the next go around. I'd be interested in a copy also if someone's so inclined . Up here where I'm at(N.E.Pa.),I'm 40 mins. from my LHBS and the old Stegmeier brewery that sits dormant and empty.I think it would be a neat thing to host a mass homebrew get together in there.I think our forefathers would be proud.And talking to the locals they say the mash could be smelled for quite aways (ah mash smells).

Wow, really? I'm friends with a guy (a Stegmeier) whose various relatives owned and operated the brewery. Just found this out a few weeks ago. His grandfather has all the old bottles and stuff they used. I think it was technically my friend's great-uncle who ran it, but I'm not totally sure.

i watched it last night as well.
they sure were not worried about hot side aeration when they showed the colonial brewing were they?
scoop, pour, splash!!

I noticed that too. Maybe they wern't worried about that back then.

 

[rod]

it probably did not sit around long enough to matter

 

[Yuri_Rage]

I really enjoyed the show as well. They focused a lot on American lager...but that's because the American public focuses so much on American lager.

Did the consistent mispronunciation of "wort" bug anyone else?

Yes. Every time he said WORT, I was torn between being irritated and laughing at myself for being an EAC about it.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

I saw it, too. It was Ok. I actually thought the Modern Marvels beer episode on History Channel was better, though this one did delve more into homebrewing.

Yeah, though according to the dictionary both pronunciation are correct.

 

[Dude]

I am rewatching this....I just saw Vinnie Cilurzo at a beer judging table...LOL.

I liked what they did with the manipulation of the old photos as well....the moving parts was unique.

I can torrent it, but I'm gonna need help. PM or explain what I need to do here and I can get on it. That might be easier than burning 20 DVDs.

 

[the_bird]

I could see the wife shifting uncomfortable in her seat when they talked about all of these micros being started by former homebrewers who left good jobs as engineers, accountants, etc....

Good show, altough not sure that it taught us too much new. I'll watch it again if it comes out, but I'm not going to beg Dude to burn me a copy. As someone mentioned, the homebrewer they showed definately looked to be SWMBO-free, kinda dorky but then again I think so are most of us.

 

[roggae]

still looking to get a copy of this....its not online anywhere!!! GAAAAAHH!!

yeah me to

 

[Focus]

Or are they showing it again? We searched for it last night but couldn't find a future running. Someone help! Does anyone have an IN at A&E that we could use to lobby for another showing.

 

[roggae]

it would be infinately easier if someone could send it to someone who could torrent it. i do not see it on the future schedule. all we need is someone who has it in digital form to compress it and seed it. i'd love to see this!

 

[Glibbidy]

You could always shell out the 5.49 and purchase it from Here's to Beer. It ships for free. This way dude doesn't need to spend his time walking thru a bit-torrent tutorial, or making copies of 20 DVD's.
