Brewing TV - Episode 61: BTV Birthday Bash


Brewing TV turns two years old in proper style - brewing a beer! Jake, Mike, Chip and the brew dogs gather to make Keeler's Reverse Burster Altbier. During the brew session, we look back on two years of BTV production. We also field some FAQs from our fans. There's even a contest and a birthday present for our viewers. Wrap it up and put a pretty bow on it, we're having a birthday party! [Original postdate: May 4, 2012]

Brewing TV - Episode 60: Eis is Nice

Chip brews his annual favorite Chocolate Stout with real chocolate additions. Most of the beer gets kegged, but he sets some of it aside for an eising experiment. He's joined by his buddy, chef Zander Dixon for tasting notes on both versions and some discussion about the process. [Original postdate: April 20, 2012]

Brewing TV - Episode 57: Snow Day in Denver

Brewing TV gets snowed-in in Denver and forced to abandon plans for one episode -- but we salvage the snow day and come up with a whole other episode. Join us as we take advantage of the situation to visit Denver Beer Company, Great Divide Brewing Company, and our first distillery Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey. And we sit down for a chat with Ed Sealover, author of Mountain Brew. All for snow, snow for all! [Original postdate: March 9, 2012]
