The beer guy imparts a lot of information that I need to replay a few times to absorb. It's great beer knowledge, but I don't pick up everything in the live show.<br /><br />Keep the beer guy. He knows his beer stuff and he's fun to listen to and the chemistry with John and nancy is great.<br /><br />Keep choosing a variety of good beers, no single style or brewery.<br /><br />Make the show a little longer, I just get warmed up and it ends. It doesn't need to be real long but even 20-minutes or so would be great.<br /><br />All my friends are talking about it, and I tell everyone to listen in. We all love out local beers but we also love craft beers. I hate to compare, but I think the old show on 107 was ok, but this one has way more potential.<br /><br />Keep up the good work!<br /><br />Pete PeteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738798358384736580.post-1460629642013334432010-05-28T23:33:07.847-04:002010-05-28T23:33:07.847-04:00You bet Jim...once we start doing guests I'll ...You bet Jim...once we start doing guests I'll certainly check in with Leo B.MyBeer Buzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02436048358894627645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738798358384736580.post-90140172248999017712010-05-28T21:32:19.110-04:002010-05-28T21:32:19.110-04:00Get Shawnee Craft on your show!!!Get Shawnee Craft on your show!!!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11892868926996318100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738798358384736580.post-37428548635792280902010-05-28T15:30:11.637-04:002010-05-28T15:30:11.637-04:00Great point Sam....and evry cool to see one of our...Great point Sam....and evry cool to see one of our own doing so well.MyBeer Buzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02436048358894627645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738798358384736580.post-66194113955317480782010-05-28T15:24:56.703-04:002010-05-28T15:24:56.703-04:00Wow!

Anon yes I can recommend a few. Blue Moon is a belgian Wit or white, so you may find that you like many of the standard wheat beers like Hoegaarden, Franziskaner, Troegs Dreamweaver, Victory Whirlwind Wit, or even some of the standard belgian style wits like Stegmaier White or the brewery we sampled today Ommegang makes a Witte beer. As you find something else you like check back in and I can probably point you to even more great beers.MyBeer Buzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02436048358894627645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738798358384736580.post-54772975674711889612010-05-28T14:30:20.894-04:002010-05-28T14:30:20.894-04:00I drink a lot of Blue Moon and I like it but can y...I drink a lot of Blue Moon and I like it but can you guys tell me a beer like that I may like better?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738798358384736580.post-85914113872217940002010-05-28T14:29:16.102-04:002010-05-28T14:29:16.102-04:00My Memorial Day is off to a great start.

We are responsibly promoting the growth of craft beer in our area but we realize it is not for everyone. Unfortunately with anything whether it be beer, drugs or even food, there will be people that can and cannot enjoy it responsibly.MyBeer Buzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02436048358894627645noreply@blogger.com
