About the Show

Translating a show about beer into a video production is another step in getting the word out regarding the really great beers being produced both in the United States and beyond. With the development of the craft beer segment, there never has been a better time to sample so many different flavors and to see just how well the drink pairs with food.

We’ll be your source for information as we visit breweries and brewpubs and meet some of the greats in the beer world. There will be a few surprises along the way, as well!
