Any thoughts or opinions of Brew Masters on Discovery Channel - Sundays @ 9:00pm central?

I found it very enjoyable. Sam Calagione is quite interesting and entertaining. I've got the DVR set to record all episodes.

I enjoyed it. I've always thought of Calagione as an even cooler Jim Koch. One of a very few "rock star" brewers.

Come see us: http://www.wowway.com/cable-tv-service/ Hang in there and maybe, just maybe, you might be getting a multi-room DVR option as well early next year *cough* so says my project board *cough*

Hey, I am your customer and I get great service ( except for the slllooowwww loading of my home page). Great cable, phone and Internet. I just can't afford another option like DVR. At least until my son get multi-engine certified, and out of college.
The multi-room thing I've head rumers about might open my wallet.

To me, Dogfish is much better at marketing than they are making good beer. They may have a good one here or there, but they have a lot more that after one sip, I usually have to ask why. And it's not like I don't experiment. ;)

After seeing the show, I'm convinced he's the Paris Hilton of the brewing industry.

I did like seeing the 100 gallon system though. I've been thinking of building one more and more lately. :)

While I think the show will be an hour long commercial for Dogfish Head, it'll educate the masses to other beer than the fizzy yellow water 95% of America drinks.
I was hoping for a more brewing orientated program, but maybe that will be something down the road after the public is educated a bit.

Who do you think paid who for Bitches Brew? Sony to Dogfish Head, or the other way around?

I too thought it was more "FLUFF" than "STUFF"

If the show survives, it will become "Drama Filled", like "American Chopper" has. AC started out about the Bikes, now it's about the Inter-Fighting between Jr. and Sr.
Seems "Discovery" has a habit of doing that. So I see Brewmasters going that way when the ratings drop.
