Comments on: Show #11: Beers of the Pioneers, Part 1 http://www.speakingofbeer.com/2006/08/09/show-11-beers-of-the-pioneers-part-1/ Exploring the Beerniverse with Charlie the Beer Guy Thu, 09 Dec 2010 21:50:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Chip http://www.speakingofbeer.com/2006/08/09/show-11-beers-of-the-pioneers-part-1/comment-page-1/#comment-273 Chip Tue, 15 Aug 2006 20:01:40 +0000 http://www.speakingofbeer.com/2006/08/09/show-11-beers-of-the-pioneers-part-1/#comment-273 Terrific show, as always. I really liked the interview with Fritz and am looking forward to part two. The beer geek moment was great. I have always been a little confused on the exact definition of a microbrewery. This helped to clear it up a bit. I also agree that getting too anal about the quantity being produced versus the quality takes away from beer enjoyment time. In a way, all the the craft brewers that make beers we enjoy are just homebrewers...just with bigger and better equipment. The quality of the beer is the first consideration. As Charlie Papazian said, "Relax, have a homebrew." Life is too short to get all up tight about number of barrels produced each year, not when there is good beer to be imbibed.

A couple of entertaining reviews of beers and a fantastic interview. I must confess, when I saw "Beers of the Pioneers" show up in my Ipod, I was expecting to hear about some beers from the 1800's Keep 'em coming, Charlie!

The RedHook is a decent beer, but not very memorable. The Red Tail is much, much better. This also makes me wonder... I've gone back and had some of the beers you've previously reviewed, but I don't remember how you've rated them. Is there anyway you can post the score cards?
