Who the fuq is Wil Wheaton?

Hahaha, I asked the same question when we were at the NHC and one of the guys from HBT I was hanging out with was all "There he is!" "let's go drink his beer!" and "Take my picture!". I said, "WHAT in the heck is wrong with you? Who is this guy? Why is is beer so awesome that we're supposed to go over there again and again?"

(WW is a homebrewer, and actually has been on this forum a few times.....)

and he told me. I still had no clue at all. But then he said, "You know! You know! The kid in 'Stand By Me'!" And then I know who it was.

But he looks alot different now than when he was 12, and I still didn't recognize him.

Did I mention he is very nice, but he's also very hairy? He wasn't hairy in "Stand By Me".

Damnit he's Wesley Crusher and that should be enough.

Actually I hadn't given him a single thought until I saw his kit at NB and his Stone collab.
 
I remember when the most popular site on the internet was diewesleydie.com (before the web). he wasn't the most well-liked guy on tv. i wouldn't watch any episode where he played a major part
 
I'm sure he's already seen the thread. and probably my latest review. now we just need him to understand that brewing this beer is the right thing to do.
 
Ok, but what makes it so important that you HAVE to get a beer named after you? Wil is just another guy who happens to have access to media resources and a modest amount of prior fame from an old TV show and a movie.
 
Movies. And cartoons. And video games. His fame really holds little significance. Rather despite the fame, he's a good ol' nerd like the rest of us, passionate about the bhobby/craft/art/science of brewing. There are many of you I would like to have brew a beer named after me. I just picked on him first. Ha!
 
@shooter - wasn't that you that was all "Wil Wheaton" crazy when we were in the conference? Someone in our group was. It was like, "Drink Wil Wheaton's stout! Here, take a sip!" "Take a picture of me and Wil Wheaton!" "Don't you love Wil Wheaton's blue plaid shirt?" "Oh my goodness, Wil Wheaton is coming this way!"

Or was that @Soperbrew ? I know it was somebody I was hanging out with.

I will admit that his stout was pretty good. He's awfully hairy, though. Much hairier in person. Wil, not Soper.

I didn't try any of his beer. I did talk to him at the Northern Brewer booth on the first day, but we talked mostly about his internet board game show Table Top. I did get a picture to send to my kids. They were mighty impressed!

I knew it was "one of us" but I sure can't remember who. I did talk to a couple thousand people (or more than a couple thousand, as I wasn't counting) but my memory is usually pretty good at things like that.

In my defense, I drink. You may not have realized that.

Speaking of pictures- I have one of you taken at about 8 AM. I was sitting there talking to you, and someone snapped a picture. You were sooooooo hungover!
 
This is off topic but... I've started a new job as an over the road trucker. I'm in m lovell wyoming at the moment and there's a forklift operator that looks and talks exactly like you in your youtube videos. Minus tattoos that is. You gots a twin billy.
 
I do have a cousin (in TX maybe?) that I haven't seen in 30 years. stupid family drama. but we looked like twins when we were 5. and he's an a-hole. anyone who's a jerk face to Granny Klubb is an instant a-hole. it makes me want to go all Billy Klubb in Vegas on him.

Wil. Wheaton. Imperial Stout it up. stoutseason365, Wil. stoutseason365.
