I would honestly watch an extended "news" segment as a show since it's mostly them just ripping the piss out of each other. The cool poo poo they do is a bonus. Oz Clarke for first guest please

Can we do two series, one down under and one back in the States? Oz droning on and on about Washington/Oregon terroir while James seeks out microbrews?

They actually made an american series (if you arent already aware). Here is a clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVzeW9uMRmM I love how may is made out to be so masculine, brash and pretty much the opposite of how he is portrayed on top gear. The british drinks series 3 was for me a disappointment and i hope they do something in the future.

I was back home in NorCal a few weeks ago and my beer nerd brother somehow got his hands on two bottles of Pliny the Elder. Not usually an IPA fan but god drat. I daresay it'd make a nascar-watching constitutional strict constructionist out of ol' Slow.

Delsaber posted:Yet another reason to get these guys in the Pacific Northwest more often. Yeah, over the 5-10 years American craft beer making has really cranked it up to the point that I prefer drinking "American" beer to the standard European stuff. Of course, Europeans are going to keep on assuming American beer means Budweiser, and I'm not up on the European craft beer scene.

Not at all. European beer buffs are well aware that the current craft beer trend started in the US and has moved to Europe along with beards and lumberjack shirts - despite Europe's beer history perhaps, but the trend has helped the European traditional varieties back into the limelight as well. Both James and Oz will agree to this, but on TV it would probably be a pretend disagreement so one could explain it to the other.

quote:European beer buffs are well aware that the current craft beer trend started in the US Yeah that's such a weird comment, I've been to a pub in Cornwall that's been brewing its own stuff since 1400 and that's most definitely a craft beer maker. It's older than the USA... :P quote:The Blue Anchor is one of the oldest original Inns in Britain that continues to maintain a working brewery. Dating back to the 15th century, the Inn boasts 600 years of brewing! Originally a monks rest house, which produced a strong honey based mead, it now produces a variety of 'Spingo Ales' to traditional recipes.

Right but I think he means being able to purchase it in stores and makeing it more prevalent. We didn't invent craft brewing but we made it so idiot college kids care about what their drinking, at least to a certain extent

Something about the bar culture in the US is different and people often drink at home from 6 packs instead. I think its all about stuff being in walking distance. Very often the town center is made up of mostly parking lots, so you have somewhere to put your car when you drive into town. Meaning you are forced to drive to the bar or take a cab. Always confused me, that. There are of course areas where this is not the case, but if its not a college neighborhood the rent/property value can be ridiculous.

Yes, thanks AcidRonin. I wasn't saying that beer originated in the US. I was saying that the current craft beer trend in which hipsters obsess over weird varieties originated in the US. This means that James and Oz will be likely to find and enjoy many varieties they like in the US. And I'm not knocking the beer trend, if anything I'm part of it. Currently very giddy about Belgian lambic, but I don't have a lumberjack shirt or a beard.
