Belated New Episode Announcement for beergeekTV

We posted a new a new episode of “One Pint at a Time” last weekend but I delayed in blogging about it because I was hoping to also include a link to one of our three radio interviews that we did on Tuesday. The station hasn’t posted the interview yet so it is time to move on…

The latest video from our December trip to Europe is now available for your viewing pleasure.

Despite chilly temperatures, the holiday season might be our favorite time of year in Bavaria.

So please enjoy “Weihnachten in Bayern”.

For all the episodes of “One Pint at a Time” go to beergeekTV.

We will have some Year in Beer news to post later in the week…

On the homefront news
If you are on the Monterey Peninsula, check out Bottles-n-Bins on Lighthouse Ave in New Monterey for a great selection of beers… especially Belgians. We picked up some awesome beers today.

New beergeek.TV Episode & Happy New Year!

We already have posted the first episode of “One Pint at a Time” from our just completed European trip.

We traveled to Dublin, Ireland to show you what our second favorite European city has to offer in a episode aptly titled “Dublin”.

In the episode, we visit the Guinness brewery (again!) and show you some -but not all – of our favorite places to drink a pint or two in Dublin.

And since, I have your attention, we would like to take this moment to thank everyone for their support in 2007 and to wish you and yours a great year in 2008.

We look forward to bringing you more and bigger beer adventures in 2008 so stay tuned…

♦ I would would like to take a moment to personally thank Oliver, the American Airlines supervisor at Dublin airport, for helping us get home on Christmas Eve. Our flight from Dublin to Chicago was delayed causing us to miss our connection to Los Angeles. We didn’t relish spending Christmas Day in either Chicago or Los Angeles and he understood our desire to get home. Despite the chaos at the airport, Oliver took time to get us rerouted (and even went and found our checked bags to re-tag them) so we did make it home to see our family on Christmas Day.

Also, I should thank our nephew, Will, for driving to San Jose to pick us up. After almost 24 hours of traveling, I am not sure I would have been able to do the hour and half drive home from San Jose airport.

New beergeek.TV and Beer Ramblings

Our latest and greatest episode of “One Pint at a Time” was posted a few hours ago. Called Beer Beyond Denver, the episode chronicles our beer adventures when we went out to Colorado for the Cal v. Colorado St. football game back in September.

Episode highlights include an interview with Chris Katechis, ‘Commander in Craft Beer’ of Oskar Blues Brewery in Lyons, CO, Merideth doing her best impersonation of Elaine Benes and my reaching 350 breweries.

For those expecting a Pacific Northwest episode, I struggled with writing Merideth’s voice over for the past few weeks and finally decided that I needed to move on. In the end, that was a good decision because I was able to put this episode together in a day… it practically edited itself. Hopefully, I will get the Pacific Northwest episode posted before we leave for Europe on December 12th. Maybe a few beers will inspire me…

Speaking of beer… last time we were at City Beer in SF, I bought a bottle of St. Bernardus Christmas Ale, a 10.5% Belgian. On Thanksgiving Eve, I brought it down to Ol’ Factory Cafe to share with some friends and the consensus amongst us all was that the beer was amazing. If you can find this beer, I highly recommend that you buy it straight away. And good luck because it apparently was a limited release here in the States.

In more beer news, we’ll be up in Boulder Creek on Sunday for our annual Christmas Tree Hunt which means you will be able to find us at Boulder Creek Brewery around opening time (11:30am) enjoying a few pints and having some lunch.

Our Christmas Tree Hunt is a week earlier than usual (in fact, it has never been in November) because the following weekend we will be in Chico to see Flogging Molly.

Moreover, if I can get a hold of the people at Butte Creek Brewery and schedule a visit, Merideth will get her 350th brewery. We will also be going to Sierra Nevada… which is very exciting because we haven’t been there in almost 10 years.

Finally, and somewhat a pre-announcement, Merideth is going to have a beer article in the January issue of Carmel Valley Magazine. When the issue comes out January 1st, we will be sure to remind everyone.

Slainte… and if you are in Boulder Creek or Chico the same time we are, let us know.
