    From the perspective of my personal dealings on retail side, hazies are absolutely the lifeblood of the craft industry and there's no end to the innovation or availabilty of them. They're also reliable sellers, I can pop any hazy I can get my hands on on a shelf and it'll be gone, it's genuinely great. My issues with them come down to the fact that people are more willing to pick up their usual hazy over trying something different. There are so many fantastic options, even within the same brands, that will just sit because the truly adventurous craft drinkers are actually uncommon. I get it, though, you don't want to spend money on something you wont like, and thats not the fault of the hazy IPA, that's just people being people. I guess my point is that hazies are a good foundation, but from my personal experience they're basically the "domestic beer" analog of the craft industry. Please for the love of beer, try more new things. (Seriously, please, I literally dont stock any saisons because in the past they've all sat to the BB date, and as a saison enjoyer it pains me.

    1. I will never get tired of watching Jonny power through a 16 beer tasting. 2. A fun variant for blind hype beer tastings could be to pick 1 beer with a lot of hype, taste it against 3-4 beers in the style maybe a few established names and a few new comers. See how the hype beer holds up, and with a few less beers on the table have a little more time to try and dive into where the differences are coming from.

    Regional, especially where beers are not exported, at least not to the UK. It's nice to see what you think of our favs and how they stack up against others, and i want more like that, but for you to try beers you've perhaps not heard of or at least the majority of us living outside of a region dont know of, seems exciting on both sides. German/Belgian/Czech/lesser-known historical beer brewing areas. For UK beers, i think you could take any angle on any beers and I'm going to be happy.

    Thanks Jonny - blind tastings are always fun - as @jackington1994 mentioned below - I'd like to see a blind tasing of Bavarian helles, incl. some of the lesser known brews (e.g. Hofbrauhaus Berchtesgaden do a wonderful range) - obvs hard to get hold of in the UK, but it'd be a fun show - maybe it could be done on tour lol. Keep up the great work, both of you :)

  • @oliverlazell3903
    @oliverlazell3903 2 дні тому

    Really enjoyed the blind taste test series! Having lived in New England for a few years and recently returned to the UK, it's clear just how much of a gap there is between tasting certain beers brewed in the US and shipped to the UK versus the experience of tasting those same beers freshly brewed in the US. Even after careful packaging, transportation, etc., for most beer styles, it will be a significantly inferior -- and more expensive! -- experience. Certain styles such as stouts, porters, mixed fermentations etc travel better, but with so many UK-based breweries producing excellent beers in these styles, there's no need to pay for over-priced imported beers -- just buy local and fresh!

    Love your taste test videos. Could you do one on sours? (I don't think you have right?) Berliner Weisse, gose, lambic. Regular or fruited. There's so much to choose from. I always like my sours, but now especially in this hot summer weather. Would be hype to see videos on those. I could send you a list of 50 beers if you need it 😂

    Here's an idea I'd love to see you do, a blind tasting of an imported beer Vs the brewed under license in this country counterpart. You can find imported staropramen in Lidl so I'm.hoping there are other examples like that which will make life easier. For you. Great video as always and keep up the good work 🎉

    I remember a podcast doing a big lambic blind tasting. Yes, rather niche for a niche channel, but I enjoyed hearing where the likes of Cantillon came when the option for preconceived opinion was taken away. A blind hazy IPA tasting would be good, tackle the old cliche that all NEIPA tastes the same.

    Video Idea: Blind beer taste test: professional vs enthusiast Jonny vs Bradders. Could be a mini series. One with tasting and then a follow-up episode comparing notes and discussion. You could also release the beer list before you shoot so the audience could score them before the discussion episode. Could be fun engagement. Could even be a live stream!

  • @robertshaughnessy1866
    @robertshaughnessy1866 2 дні тому

    These are always interesting. I did a blind taste test with a friend last year which incorporated his favourite beers - mainly Imperial Stouts and Quadrupels. At the start we were both convinced we would be able to identify the Westvleteren 12 (this came 2nd in the competition but we didn't identify it). What I thought was the Westvleteren was the Straffe Hendrik Quad and that came top overall. Remembering taste can be so unreliable. After a recent trip to Dublin I acquired a taste for Beamish, absolutely loved it having not had it for years as you can't get it over here any more. As for Vocation Love & Hate, for me it is the best supermarket beer. I've a trip planned in a couple of weeks to drink it at source in Hebden Bridge.

  • @danieltaylor3737
    @danieltaylor3737 2 дні тому

    I find it really hard sometimes to temper expectations (or go in objectively) when a particular beer has good press. I've had multiple Orval's over the years and have always been slightly (or massively) underwhelmed, which I suspect is at least partly due to the unrealistic pedestal I've built for such a world-famous and much-loved beer in my mind. Your wise musings however make me think it's worth me trying to blind-taste it alongside several beers of a similar style, and see what I really think. At the very least, I'll have me a grand afternoon (for scientific purposes of course) ;-)

    For me, if I purchase a “posh” beer to try. Maybe a Belgium triple or a DIPA, I’ll have it first. I don’t want a previous beer effecting my taste buds. Because more than often, a beer tastes different with bolder, fruity flavours on the palette… eg… a nice cask golden ale to me tastes more biscuity and bready after a fruity IPA. But the other way around, the golden ale will be hoppier, crisper and more bitter. Maybe it’s just me, but it’s always been the case. Idea for future vids - more visits to regional brewery’s. Please visit the southwest… we’re more than just Verdant. Shout out to - Hanlons, Lyme Regis Brewery, Many Hands Brew Co, Exeter Brewery, Topsham Brewery, The Beer Engine, to name a few. Cheers.

Next time in the UK, I aim to try Love and Hate in a supermarket for example (after raiding the indie bottle shops of course). Id like to see one where you try beers from around the world.
