Less than 8 miles away from me these guys. And they are absolutely outstanding. Oh and it's SUFFOLK!

Pastry sours blind test

the single most common off flavor I pick up on is the wet paper bag. Almost 100% of the time I pick it up on any macro....

Something about the cream colour of the banquet can is super appealing to me. I always wondered if i only liked it so much cause the colour tricked me, but considering how it did blind i guess not

As a new englander who until within the last decade never saw 'gansett outside my himble home region, i think its real cool its in the tasting across the pond. Just startedbthe video so idk how it rates, but im glad we're in the pack

Hmm.. what about a Slavic type taste test? Don’t really hear much about them but I’m sure there’s plenty to choose from outside of Baltika!

Would love to see a regional beer blind taste test. There are load of small brewer's popping up regionally in the UK and doing a taste test of those would be cool to see. Also could get a bit of North vs South rivalry going !

Really enjoyed the blind taste test series! Having lived in New England for a few years and recently returned to the UK, it's clear just how much of a gap there is between tasting certain beers brewed in the US and shipped to the UK versus the experience of tasting those same beers freshly brewed in the US. Even after careful packaging, transportation, etc., for most beer styles, it will be a significantly inferior -- and more expensive! -- experience. Certain styles such as stouts, porters, mixed fermentations etc travel better, but with so many UK-based breweries producing excellent beers in these styles, there's no need to pay for over-priced imported beers -- just buy local and fresh!

I forgot, did you do a Saison blind taste test?

Leave it to America's views on what certain styles should taste like to fuck things up 😂 I'm American and I approve of this message!

I think you should come over to Laos and taste all the varieties of Beer Lao. The draft version is a revelation (which is why I can't send it to you). Let me know when you're arriving and I'll look after you. 🍻

Love your taste test videos. Could you do one on sours? (I don't think you have right?) Berliner Weisse, gose, lambic. Regular or fruited. There's so much to choose from. I always like my sours, but now especially in this hot summer weather. Would be hype to see videos on those. I could send you a list of 50 beers if you need it 😂

Here's an idea I'd love to see you do, a blind tasting of an imported beer Vs the brewed under license in this country counterpart. You can find imported staropramen in Lidl so I'm.hoping there are other examples like that which will make life easier. For you. Great video as always and keep up the good work 🎉

I remember a podcast doing a big lambic blind tasting. Yes, rather niche for a niche channel, but I enjoyed hearing where the likes of Cantillon came when the option for preconceived opinion was taken away. A blind hazy IPA tasting would be good, tackle the old cliche that all NEIPA tastes the same.

Video Idea: Blind beer taste test: professional vs enthusiast Jonny vs Bradders. Could be a mini series. One with tasting and then a follow-up episode comparing notes and discussion. You could also release the beer list before you shoot so the audience could score them before the discussion episode. Could be fun engagement. Could even be a live stream!

Engaging and informative video as always. Thanks. I’d love to see more Asian craft beers reviewed on your channel. In most parts of Asia, craft breweries rely on imported ingredients which we believe may impact the quality of their brews. I’d like to see what u think of this through taste tests of beer styles from the western and eastern hemispheres. Cheers!

Blind hype beer tasting sounds great. Also could consider AU Pacific Ales or NZ pale/pils/IPAs. Im visiting that area of the world rn and I got say, the hops and mouthfeel hit different and its definitely unique from American/British/Euro pale beer

I would love to see a blind tasting incorporating Untappd. 'Hype beers' could be a good topic for this. Might add a critical note to the scores some beers get (unfairly).

These are always interesting. I did a blind taste test with a friend last year which incorporated his favourite beers - mainly Imperial Stouts and Quadrupels. At the start we were both convinced we would be able to identify the Westvleteren 12 (this came 2nd in the competition but we didn't identify it). What I thought was the Westvleteren was the Straffe Hendrik Quad and that came top overall. Remembering taste can be so unreliable. After a recent trip to Dublin I acquired a taste for Beamish, absolutely loved it having not had it for years as you can't get it over here any more. As for Vocation Love & Hate, for me it is the best supermarket beer. I've a trip planned in a couple of weeks to drink it at source in Hebden Bridge.

I find it really hard sometimes to temper expectations (or go in objectively) when a particular beer has good press. I've had multiple Orval's over the years and have always been slightly (or massively) underwhelmed, which I suspect is at least partly due to the unrealistic pedestal I've built for such a world-famous and much-loved beer in my mind. Your wise musings however make me think it's worth me trying to blind-taste it alongside several beers of a similar style, and see what I really think. At the very least, I'll have me a grand afternoon (for scientific purposes of course) ;-)

That was a nice one. Made me smile.

For me, if I purchase a “posh” beer to try. Maybe a Belgium triple or a DIPA, I’ll have it first. I don’t want a previous beer effecting my taste buds. Because more than often, a beer tastes different with bolder, fruity flavours on the palette… eg… a nice cask golden ale to me tastes more biscuity and bready after a fruity IPA. But the other way around, the golden ale will be hoppier, crisper and more bitter. Maybe it’s just me, but it’s always been the case. Idea for future vids - more visits to regional brewery’s. Please visit the southwest… we’re more than just Verdant. Shout out to - Hanlons, Lyme Regis Brewery, Many Hands Brew Co, Exeter Brewery, Topsham Brewery, The Beer Engine, to name a few. Cheers.

From Mango to Despair: The Modern IPA Story

Out of those 1st Peroni 2nd Fosters/Corona 3rd Heineken most generic and safe choice when you don’t know anything else. Worst: Stella Artois, Carlsberg Piss: Coors, american budweiser.

Have to disagree with 1664. It's delightful on a hot summer day. 🍻

I really enjoy these beer geek tastes episodes. I often compare notes you make with what I thought on untappd. Often you’ll beers Ive yet to try, rate it highly and will go and find it. Next time in the UK, I aim to try Love and Hate in a supermarket for example (after raiding the indie bottle shops of course). Id like to see one where you try beers from around the world. Could be several episodes - one per continent and then a winner takes all episode.

Fun series! Ty!

You did similar with the UK made Oktoberfest blind taste but I think blind taste of British lager from British companies would be a good one, I don’t mean British versions of Stella, becks and staropramen. Lagers from Sam smiths, black sheep, Robinsons, Brewdog and belhaven for example and maybe some Irish ones like harpers.

Sullivan's Nitro Pour Marble Stout trumps Guinness period!

Just love Harvey's. All over it every time I find it. Surprised you didn't have ESB or Five Points Best in the line up.

I think I hate you both for experiencing something I will never experience. I jest but thank you for bringing me closer to the experience. Unfortunately my homebrews don't give me the same level of excitement and the US brewers are not close to achieving this either.

go boys goooooo

Might be difficult, but same beer, different brewing locations.

I wanna hang out w/ Brad. Such a cool dude… w/ a “yes and” way of life. Cheers, friend!

Breweries who use unconventional hops? E.g. A pilsner with EKG or a stout with simcoe. Perhaps compare to the BJCP guide or a blind taste to see which punters prefer?

2:07 could you share the excel data ? Would like to taste through few beers and compare notes. You have great access to beer and have experience in tasting them. The notes will help for following through the taste profile as well.

As a beer enthusiast in the US, especially for Czech, German, and other EU beers, is that shipping, especially temperature over a prolonged time my make a favorite awesome or amazingly skunky.

I started drinking again. That means I got to the store and get six packs of craft beer. It gave me a consistent feel. My favorite is 86 beer Holland, no surprise. I was drinking Sapporo even when I didn't drink.

I don't remember you having La Fin Du Monde. No scores, but tasting notes. Be interesting to see how that stacked up being it is probably the best tripel available here in Canada, and being Canadian made.

I have also experienced - and I know this sounds silly - that beer has a place. For instance drinking a bitter norther German lager on the North Sea coast match made in heaven. Drinking it in the Mediterranean horrible. On the same hand, drinking a Mahou ***** after a hot day on a terrace in Madrid with some fatty tapas great! Same beer in norther Germany horrible. Even if it is imported / exported stuff and not license brewed.

Timmy Taylor's is best beer ever, flat cap on, end off

Hype beer blind taste test sounds like a fun one! Would love to see how that plays out

US vs UK hype IPAs would be interesting to see in a blind tasting!

Nest the start of this video, did you suggest that Carling Red Label (Madri) is spanish!? Ill give you the benefit of the doubt that it was a slip of the tongue 😛

If you want to do a really controversial one, do the most drunk beers for each country in a tournament style 😂

Isn’t any Madri brewed in Spain?

hefeweizen and belgian wit blind please

For a tasting. How about homebrew Vs commercial. Go to one or more groups and do half homebrew and half commercial.

On the bjcp guidelines. I gather the most recent version went to people local to the style to rewrite them. They're still not all perfect. But they're much better than they were.

You will be happy to know you did inspire me (and a buddy) to do the Toer de Geuze this year, so that is a win. Some blind test ideas: Brad blind test german lagers one being Augustiner Brad provide the beer so you don't know what they are. Could do craft hazys. Or belgian triple. Just completely blind Farmhouse Ale, could be saison, could be wild, could be brett
