[kartracer2]

Well, I guess I'll piss on the parade...

The Brewing Network totally flamed it.

Speaking of pixxing,, on them.
Even though I hav'nt brewed in a while I am proud of the makers and partisapents of the vid.
BREW ON !!!!

I walked into my LHBS and they recognized me from the video. A little thrill, I must say.

No autographs, please!

My local club president and LHBS owner sent the youtube vid out to all the club members yesterday. Pretty cool how this comes full circle!

olllo you are on every forum I see!
I personally thought the video was great,and love reading the mixed reviews.Good job to all that participated.And I think I speak for all hardcore beer geeks by saying I AM "deeply serious" about beer!Thats why we brew it.It is fun,but you can also make great beers that you cant buy.So to hell with all the video hating,yellow fizzy beer drinking non brewers out there!You don't always get paid to be revolutionary

If I read his site correctly, he's a beer writer who never brewed beer. I'd say he's got a chip on his shoulder.

"I'll be all around in the dark. I'll be ever'-where - wherever you can look. Wherever there's a fight so thirsty people can drink, I'll be there. Wherever there's a blogger beatin' up a home brewer, I'll be there. I'll be in the way guys yell when they're drunk - I'll be in the way brewers laugh when they're thirsty an' they know the beer's ready. An' when the people are brewin' the beer they made, and tappin' the kegerators they build - I'll be there, too."

haha well said.

I thought he was fairly positive. And just because you haven't brewed doesn't mean you can't talk about a homebrewing video.

These are the very people with which we need to have a running dialog.

Just watched it, and thought it was great!

The BN really tore this video apart

I thought it was good

I thought his review was on par with someone who tells what he sees. Nothing overly scathing, and I could see his point if I weren't a frequenter of this site and know a bit out it's inhabitants. That could be one reason that people from here tend to see the video in a different light than those who are not from here.

As far as being serious, why not be serious? My batches cost me money and take up considerable amounts of my spare time. Even though the cost is not much, the time spent is. Of COURSE I want to make great beer and improve every time I brew! I have fun doing it too, but that doesn't mean it isn't work and worthwhile as well.

And I think the seriousness is part of the satire of the video, and part of what makes it work as an homage. If we were silly, then it would be more like making fun of the original.

 

[BrokenBrew]

Too great for words!

I thought I was stupid for getting teary-eyed at the end. Then read the other comments from other guys doing the same.

It's great to see the coverage all over the 'net.

Good job guys.

This is what I think people are missing. None of us are super serious about our hobby and of course we aren't taking huge risks. Who cares? It was a fun tribute and something fun to do that promote homebrewing.

I agree with some of the reviews, but they are not in on the joke so they are thinking "wow, these guys are a little too serious." That's fine.

Think "Grapes of Wrath" with a homebrewer slant on it.

 

[olllllo]

Tom Joad in the Grapes of Wrath. Correct. I figured I'd keep to our plagiaristic ways. :rollseyes:

You can tell people that is you punching Jesus.

 

[DarkSide]

That was awesome!!! Made me feel great to be a homebrewer. Thanks.

Your like a superhero olllllo, did you know that? :cross:

That be the one. After watching the video a couple times, I'm torn. I enjoyed it. But, personally, I'm nowhere as serious as was portrayed, but I'm sure that many are. Basically, whatever floats you boat. Don't care for the video, RDWHAHB. Love it? Have a f'ing homebrew and enjoy it. In the grand scheme, it's homebrew and a hobby. It's not worth getting pissy over.

Well 7 if you count the negative space, 6 if you count the bars.
Why does Mickey Mouse have 3 fingers and a thumb?
Why doesn't your handle containing a proper noun have capitalization?

I think 5 looks better than 7.
