Hello.

Hope you all had a good christmas. No new show tomorrow but it will be back on 4/1 at the usual time.
I need your help. We'll do a look back at 2014 craft beers.
Let me know which were your favorites of the year, in fact if you can give me your top five.
Who was the best brewery of the year?
Who was the best new brewery of the year?

Let me know here or by email at rocknbrew01@gmail.com

Next week we will have a panel of beers "experts" discuss those findings.

I have a few exciting guest lined up for January but all in due time. Stay tuned.

Title: Re: Rock and Brew
Post by: akavango on February 01, 2015, 04:35:34 PM
No John, no chances, I don't have the credential to upload on mixcloud and the station owner categorically refuses to do it. There is only 2 shows missing but I just can't convince him.

Any way RocknBrew is on tonight, I'll be talking to Jack Cody's Kevin and Kinnegar Brewing Rick LeVerte. Tune in at 6PM. room101radio.eu

Well Dr. Horrible it was the beer that made the show not the 3 idiots talking about it.
Title: Re: Rock and Brew
Post by: Dr Horrible on April 16, 2015, 09:42:57 PM
I really like the blind tasting format, it's  head and shoulders above a standard beer review as you really get a good feel as to how a beer  tastes.  I always try to guess the beer myself as well, have got it right once or twice!  And having your own beer reviewed on it is like being a fly on the wall during a judging session, there were a lot of similar comments between the show and the scoresheets so I guess you guys aren't  idiots after all!
Title: Re: Rock and Brew
Post by: akavango on April 18, 2015, 11:06:07 AM
Well, I really pleased to read that. I'm really glad we did your beer justice, because you really never know how people will react when they facing a unknown beer. In all fairness your beer made that much easier for us to appreciate it. It really was a stellar beer. Thanks Jason for the beer and the kind words.
