"Brewers everywhere else think [Pilsner Urquell] should throw the lot out [wooden fermenters] and get something a bit more modern – preferably in stainless steel. The people at Pilsner Urquell say they won't." Sigh...

It was a trainwreck but I couldn't look away. That home brewer with his dirty hands all over the business end of the racking cane. Their BS facts. It was news to me that if a brewery made under TWO MILLION barrels a year are considered craft brewers. The best was the straight crap about Dogfish heads Theobromawtfever. Wow, what a POS recipe. The dude was standing dumping paprika into the thing. "It would have been red!" Sure buddy. This was also the first time that I've ever head Sam C talk in real person. I've read both of his books (meh). Man the dude has one of the BEST meathead accents/vernacular I have ever heard. 'If we can catch up to it and run it over, we'll put it in beer.' Keep reaching for the stars sammy... I watched that thing last night also. It was a trainwreck but I couldn’t look away.

It was like he brought his World Guides to life and we were seeing our passion on-screen, where it had never been shown! Figures that Discovery dropped the ball somewhat. No one really has that early passion Michael had, that jump-started we old fogies! “It made wish I could haul out my tapes, also from Discovery and packed away at our New Mexico home, of Jackson’s epic series.”
