Chad'z Beer Podcast (Chad'z Beer Reviews)

Stephanie is the WOMAN behind the aptly named  @craftbeergirlakaCBG  channel. She's a nurse by day and a craft beer enthusiast by night. We actually met through Instagram as we're both located in the Orlando area and have a lot of local acquaintances in common. Oddly enough we've never actually met in person. We talk about all this and more in this podcast.

One of the first channels I ever started watching on YouTube with regularity was @Imasofat . They were (and still ARE) a married couple in Upstate New York that make videos about random and fun things in their life. At some point they started making beer reviews and that's probably when the channel took off (bear in mind, this is all early YT days like 2008 or so).

I was delighted when I found out Gary and Melissa lived only about 2 hours away from me. We actually met up in person quite a few times at their "mansion".

The Imasofats haven't stopped producing content completely, but they've definitely dialed it back. Perhaps they'll see this podcast and it will inspire them to make beer reviews (or videos about anything) on a regular basis again.

If you're a fan of Goose Island's Bourbon County Brand Stout, I highly suggest you check out BeerTuber  @endofthedaybeerreview . This channel is run by Rich in Long Island, New York. He has a home basement bar and a huge collection of Bourbon County bottles and its many (and expensive variants).

Rich and I have quite a lot in common besides our love of dark beer. In fact, we seem to discuss those common interests more than BeerTubing. In this episode we somehow touch upon random topics such as: upstate versus downstate accents; nuclear war; high school English class; and so much more. Just watch (or listen) and I'm sure you'll be thoroughly entertained for 2 hours!

If you follow the UK BeerTuber scene no doubt you've probably seen a few videos by "The Crumby Beard". Tom's been producing content for about two years. He started out making videos about food but moved on to beer and whiskey reviews. IMHO, The Crumby Beard is making some of the best thumbnails in the game and his cinematography and editing techniques are impressive as well. Oh and he seems to know what he's talking about when it comes to dissecting beer and whiskey.

Tom doesn't do beer reviews in the same format as me and most other BeerTubers, but that's what makes his channel unique. If you're not already following him, give him a look here:

 @TheMasterOfHoppets  is one of the longest-tenured creators in the BeerTube community. He started about a year after I did (late 2009, to be exact). Peter is one of the few BeerTubers in a non-English speaking country (Denmark) to conduct all his videos on English. He and I have collab'ed on quite a few beer reviews over the years and we actually met in person in early 2012 for a beer review in a parking garage (yes, really!).

Though we chat occasionally on social media, this was our first long form conversation in many years. We also shot an episode of Tuesday Night Beer School.

You might not recognize the name of this episode's guest, but Jeremy Hosier actually had a lot of influence on my craft beer journey. He was the manager of Westmere Beverage, a fantastic beer-only store in Guilderland, NY within walking distance of my apartment from 2007-2015. I was there so often that we struck up a friendship and he even gave me the employee discount.

Around 2011 Jeremy and some of his friends/colleagues started Steadfast Beer Company. They made only gluten-free beers that actually tasted like beer (not all twangy like Red Bridge). It doesn't look like they're still in business, although their website is still active.

Unfortunately, Jeremy died in early 2020 right when COVID hit. I'm not sure if that was the cause of his death, though.

I included two back-to-back interviews with him I conducted in the summer of 2012: one as a beer company owner and one as the manager of a beer store. Even if you're not familiar with Mr. Hosier, I think the inside information he provides is fascinating. And as a bonus I included two tours of Westmere Beverage from 2009 and 2011.

Jesse aka  @bumpy-isms  has been around the BeerTube scene since the Golden Age. Though he started out mostly as a viewer and commenter, he eventually got into creating content around 2018. His channel is a mix of homebrewing, beer reviews and pizza reviews.

Mr. Bumpy lives in New Hampshire, which is a prime location since he's within a day's drive to some of the hottest breweries in the country right now. We discuss what it's like to be surrounded by such great beer in this podcast.

Paul and Michelle have only been BeerTubers for less than three years, but they've garnered a pretty big following on their channel  @ratemybeer1 . They have a backyard bar that rivals (or even surpasses) a place you'd go to buy a pint. I'll bet part of their success is due to the fact they're one of only a few BeerTube channels to feature a husband and wife duo. I'd say Paul and Michelle are very nice and friendly and their channel gives off that vibe. You definitely want to go to their house and throw back a few after watching a few of their video beer and mini keg reviews as well as their travel vlogs.

If you don't know who  @DarwinsBeerReviews  is, I don't know what to tell you. The man has been one of the most popular and consistent BeerTubers for well over a decade. Even though he started several years after me, he has almost 3 TIMES as many episodes as I do! Wow!

Also like me, Darwin is originally from New York State (Long Island) and moved to Florida around the same time I did. In fact, at one point we lived just a few miles from each other and would get together regularly for beer reviews.

Darwin is also a certified Advanced Cicerone (one of only a few hundred on the planet!). When he's not making beer review videos, he works for Sanford Brewing Company. If you're ever in the Orlando area, head over to their Maitland taproom and say hi.

NOTE: This is a redux of a podcast from a few weeks ago. We both thought the quality was a little poor so we re-shot it. If you want to see the original go here: https://youtu.be/LoHZYH6Gdi0

One of my favorite BeerTubers from the Golden Age was Matt Stewart. He was a bearded beer lover in the Miami area at the time. I can't remember how I found his channel, but I do remember appreciating his honesty and light hearted/every man approach. Matt and I did a few trades and he was the first to introduce me to the wonders of two Florida breweries that were in high demand back then: Cigar City and Funky Buddha. Matt and I actually met once in Albany and we're still friends on Facebook today. Perhaps we'll do a reunion collab review sometime?

Matt hasn't posted in years, but his channel is still available for viewing at https://www.youtube.com/@MtStewart/videos

You might know Marcus Guiliano for his now widely-popular YouTube channel where he talks about being a restaurateur, healthy eating and healthy lifestyles. I knew him well over a decade ago when he was just getting started as a health influencer. Marcus owns Aroma Thyme Bistro in Ellenville, New York (just north of the city), where Kevin Burns once bartended. I met Marcus through Kevin and actually shot a few episodes of my show at his restaurant. We conducted this podcast, and a review of Dogfish Head Pangaea in his office upstairs on July 26, 2010

Check out our review of Dogfish Head Pangaea here: https://youtu.be/fPIK29QO-bU

This archive edition of the podcast features Daniel Harper aka "The Endosymbiosis" (though I think he also went by Michigan Beer Vlog). Dan and I did quite a few beer and homebrew trades at the time. The first time I ever got to try Founders KBS was because Dan sent it to me (all these years later I really appreciate that!).

We actually recorded two interviews: first in November of 2010 and later in April of 2012. The later episode was pretty epic at the time because it was right after Dan had shaved his epic chest-length beard.

As far as I can tell, Dan's channel is long gone but apparently he still collabs with Lee Russell on a podcast where they review old B-movies.

There aren't too many women in the BeerTube community, but Chelsea and Liz of the  @bodybybeerpodcast  channel might single-handedly change that. They produce a high-quality video podcast where they discuss food and beer pairings; beer news; beer facts and history; debunk beer myths; go on brewery tours; interview professional brewers; and a whole lot more. You've probably seen some of their shortform content on YouTube, Instagram or TikTok (where they have over 18k followers!)

Sorry for the "short" runtime on this episode. We're hoping we can get together again for a second part later this year. In the meantime, be sure to check out our collab review of Chimay Green here: https://youtu.be/jghRza3Lsx4

Welcome to the first episode of 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒅'𝒛 𝑩𝒆𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒐𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒔𝒕! This show is dedicated to discussing beer with BeerTubers, influencers, professional brewers, homebrewers, industry journalists/authors/pundits, and any beer enthusiast willing to sit down with me for an hour to discuss their relationship with beer.

In this first episode I speak with Kyle of  @NoHypeBeerReviews . He's actually located in Albany, NY - the very city I in which I started this channel way back in 2008! Kyle arrived in Albany right around the same time I migrated to Florida so our paths never crossed in person.

Kyle has one of the most underrated BeerTube channels, so if you're not already a subscriber I highly recommend you check out his channel at

https://www.youtube.com/@NoHypeBeerReviews and his Instagram at

This week's archive edition features one of the lesser-known BeerTubers: Max Spang aka "Snobby Beer". I remember being impressed with Max's production skills which were pretty advanced for the 2010-2013 era. I interviewed Max for my channel in August of 2011 and he had me on his show about a month later. Both of those interviews are included in this podcast episode.

As an extra bonus, I've included a video of me unboxing a beer mail he sent me sometime in 2011. Yup, I still have that video saved (I never delete anything).

Max's channel is still up on YouTube, but he hasn't posted to it in about a decade. Maybe this podcast will encourage him to come out of retirement.

If there was ever a BeerTuber with an ideal URL it was Mark Sinderson who originally started out his channel as youtube.com/videobeerreviews (so accurate and right to the point!). He later changed his handle to @BikeBeerBBQ across all social media.

I always enjoyed his channel because he was (and I assume still is) an avid cyclist but also was a craft beer enthusiast. He even wrote a book for people like me that loved beer but wanted to lose weight called "Beyond the 12oz Curl". Unfortunately that book is out of print but its listing is still up on Amazon.

I also liked Mark's food cooking tutorials as he made pretty much everything on his "Big Green Egg" grill. Unfortunately, his channel disappeared a while back due to copyright issues. I wish Mark would re-upload those old videos without the copyrighted material as I'd bet a new generation of viewers would enjoy them.

You can still catch Mr. Sinderson on Joe D's "Share a Beer" show here:

This week's podcast is actually two old podcasts I did with Jay's Beer Review (aka  @jjrudy41 ) back in the early days of this channel. If you've been watching me (or BeerTube in general) since 2009, you might remember Jay. When I first got into craft beer, he was a much more seasoned drinker and knew more about beer than me. He was also one of the first guest reviewers I ever had on this show. It was after doing that review of St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout with me that Jay felt comfortable starting his own show. The two of us did a lot of collabs over the years. He stopped producing content in 2014 and deleted most of the reviews from his channel, however, he has kept some of the most popular episodes viewable on his channel: https://www.youtube.com/@jjrudy41/videos

In case you're wondering, Jay is indeed alive and well. He still lives in Upstate New York and makes treks to the Hill Farmstead and Treehouse breweries once or twice a year. We occasionally chat through Facebook, but I can't remember the last time we saw each in person.

If you remember seeing Jay on this show, what was your favorite collab review that him and I did?

We all know the biggest BeerTuber is  @realaleguide  but did you know his wife Mel also had her own channel where she reviewed beer? Well, she did at  @MrsRealAleGuide  aka "Craft Beer Lady." I actually did a couple collab reviews with Mel and many with Simon.

After a month-and-a-half hiatus Chad'z Beer Podcast is back, baby! This episode features one of the most popular beer influencers on Instagram: Mateo The Beer Reviewer.

He has one of the biggest organic followings for a Beer 'Gramer with over 8500 devoted fans where's he been posting daily beer reviews since 2012! In this podcast, Mateo and I discuss our mutual love for beer and what it's like being a beer reviewer/influencer who's constantly chasing the next must have beer/brewery/style, etc.

This was a pleasantly fun and surprisingly breezy episode that I think (and hope) everyone will enjoy.

Does anyone remember  @DenisLD  Denis was one of the earliest BeerTubers and one of the few Canadians to do it. Although he's originally from Russia, he lived in Montreal and called his show "DM's Montreal Beer Reviews." We met at least once when he was traveling to NYC and stopped in Albany for a night to hang out with me and Jay.

Denis's channel is still active though it looks like he hasn't posted a beer review in a decade or more. Hopefully he'll see this podcast and come out of retirement!

Steve "The Beer Man"  is a BeerTuber based out of northern Oregon - a state known for its acclaimed breweries and hop farms. Not surprisingly, Steve is an avid homebrewer and beer reviewer with all that great beer selection nearby.

Steve's been making content since 2018. He does a little bit of everything: homebrew demos, group livestreams, beer reviews (obviously) and even cannabis reviews.

Whether you're a BeerTuber or just a viewer of this genre, no doubt you've encountered Simon Martin aka @realaleguide  by now. Simon is one of the earliest BeerTubers (though I had him beat by about a year) and has grown to become the channel with the most followers and all-time views. What is the secret to his success?

Tristan Kilgallon is the man behind @ABeerADayWithTK . Though he resides in suburban Ohio, he originally hails from Philadelphia (as you can no doubt tell by his love for the Phillies, Eagles, Flyers, etc.). He's the second BeerTuber I've met that has a mancave shed in their backyard just for beer reviews. Tristan has traveled a lot and has an appreciation for the lesser-known European beer styles. We discuss all that and more in this podcast.

You wouldn't know it by his YouTube channel  @mikevsbeer , but Mike Hartmann is actually one of the biggest Beer Influencers out there! He has literally 100,000 times more followers on TikTok than he does on YouTube. What's really interesting is the fact he's fairly new on the scene having started in 2021. Mike recently posted a blind tasting video that got over 2 MILLION views as of this podcast (wow!). This was a really fun discussion that probably could've went on even longer as Mike and I talked his history with beer, homebrewing, his TikTok fame, and lots more.

If you're a fan of BeerTube then I can already assume you're a fan of Simon Martin aka "Real Ale Craft Beer". He has the biggest English-speaking BeerTube channel with over 74k subscribers and it has received almost 30 MILLION views across nearly 10,000 videos (not all reviews, of course).

Simon and I have known each other since the early days. We've done quite a few collab reviews over the years. This was our first time having a longform conversation in years.

NOTE: We had actually begun recording the podcast last week but we only got about 30 minutes in when he had to leave suddenly so we started from scratch this week. I included that scrapped podcast as a bonus section to this podcast at the end.

Not all BeerTubers make beer reviews, case in point:  @LifeIsBrewtiful . Anthony has been making mini documentaries about beer history and niche styles for several years. He doesn't consider himself a historian, but he's certainly an educator of some sort. Anthony's also active duty military and has lived in various states and countries for the last 14 years. All this travel has given him the opportunity to try local beers and styles so niche you've probably never heard of them (e.g. Zoigl bier). We discuss all that, plus homebrewing, favorite beer styles and swap war stories in this podcast.

If you watched this channel during the early days you might remember my occasional co-host Kevin Burns of "The Foaming Head." I cannot remember how we met, but we were both beer bloggers in Albany. Kevin's blog was dedicated to covering New York State beer. He was one of the most enthusiastic beer lovers I knew. We lost touch a few years ago, but I'd love to catch up and do a long overdue collab review again.

This podcast was originally recorded June 30, 2010

John Holl is one of the top beer journalists and authors working today. For over two decades, he's been making a living covering the beer industry. Mr. Holl has published several beer cookbooks and beer history and travel guides. Plus, he produces MULTIPLE beer podcasts every week!

Recently, a few UK-based BeerTubers have made vlogs wondering if beer reviews on YouTube are still needed and if this niche we call BeerTube is dying. I've actually had similar thoughts lately, but I wanted to get another seasoned American BeerTuber's perspective, so I asked Mat from @massivebeers to join me for a discussion on the subject.

Jon Shubin is the man behind @HopsAndBrews  - one of the most popular BeerTube channels to emerge in the last few years. Hops & Brews started out as a pretty standard BeerTube channel, but Jon eventually started doing many experimental type videos that have gotten massive views; such as freeze distilling Budweiser, his 46 day all-beer diet, how to turn any beer non-alcoholic, trying to drink with a muscle stimulator and many many more.

If you were watching this show during the heydays of 2009-2012 you probably remember my occasional guest and co-host Henry. We met through mutual friends and we shared a lot of similar outlooks on life including a fondness for craft beer. He used to come over every Friday afternoon and we'd shoot at least one or two beer reviews.

In 2012 he got married and moved to Vermont for a new job, so he obviously wasn't around as much once that happened. I've been trying to coax him to making a return via Streamyard hopefully sometime soon. So keep your fingers crossed for this long overdue reunion!

Who doesn't like Fridays? Well, Howard Tignor dedicated his channel to this day of the week by calling it  @fridaysr4u306 . He's been making BeerTube videos since 2019. His channel features several themed shows though "Uncle Bub's Bell Buckle Beer Reviews" is the flagship show. He considers himself a blue collar working man and dedicates every episode of his show to workers in a different industry. Howard isn't a beer snob at all, and something of a newbie to the craft beer world. Learn all about this man from central Tennessee in this podcast.

Have you ever heard it's better to cellar beer vertically rather than horizontally (like wine)? The theory behind is that a bottle stored upright has less surface area exposed to oxygen whereas a bottle laid down on its side increases that area massively and will oxidize quicker and more prominently. I decided to put this theory to the test and conducted an experiment that took me TWO YEARS to complete. I bought two 8-packs of Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout from North Coast brewing and laid one down horizontally. I tasted them at 3 months, 6 months, a year and two years to see if there was a noticeable difference. Was there? Watch and find out!

If you were here for the Golden Age of BeerTube (2010-2015) you probably remember Chris Steltz aka @BeerGeekNation . He was THE BeerTuber of the era. His channel featured well-produced video beer reviews with professional animation, sound, lighting and editing. Not to mention Chris's in-depth knowledge of quality beer and his ability to find and review the white whales of the moment.

Chris even started a "network" of sorts where other BeerTubers used the BGN logo and animation in their videos. But then one day he just disappeared without saying goodbye. So Chris, if you're watching this please come back to BeerTube! Or at least let us know why you left.

Ryan Reschan started out as a BeerTuber known as "Stumpy Joe Jr." Later on he changed it to "San Diego Beer Vlog" and became a member of the Beer Geek Nation network. Ryan and I did many collab reviews and several trades. Thanks to him I was able to get a lot of Russian River sours and wilds and other coveted west coast-only beers.

Ryan was also a great homebrewer and made a lot of videos about his processes. He actually won a competition sponsored by Stone Brewing and had his "Coconut IPA" recipe scaled up and brewed by Stone! Greg Koch even appeared on his show a few times if I remember correctly.

Ryan doesn't make videos anymore, but I highly suggest checking out his channel archives.

This week's archive edition features one of the most prolific BeerTubers,  @TheMasterOfHoppets  . I first discovered Peter when I did a search for reviews of Duff Beer (yes, the beer from The Simpsons). This was still early in Peter's YouTube career (probably 2009 or so).

Him and I collaborated on many reviews over the years and even met in person briefly when he was flying from Denmark to New Mexico and landed at JFK airport in New York City. We reviewed a Three Floyds beer in my car in the parking garage!

These mini podcasts were recorded in November of 2010 and March of 2012.

This week's guest is well known among the beer community for his written works. Marty Nachel (rhymes with Rachel) has been a beer pundit, journalist, and author for well over 30 years. His first writing was first published in the late 1980s.

Marty is best known for his books BEER FOR DUMMIES and HOMEBREWING FOR DUMMIES. He's also written many articles and op-eds for All About Beer and other industry magazines and websites.

In this podcast we discuss how he became such a craft beer enthusiast and the story behind his books, as well as many anecdotes from his travels and his thoughts on the current state of the industry.

Marty and I shot an episode of Tuesday Night Beer School on the English Brown Ale style which you can see here:

This week's archive edition features a BeerTuber who I always enjoyed watching: Beer Noob. His real name was Ron (I thought it was Brian for some reason). I always liked that he made really honest, everyman, unpretentious reviews. Unfortunately, Ron deleted his channel a long time ago though I coulda swore he left a comment on one of my videos recently.

This podcast also features a little bonus interview, except this time it's Ron interviewing me.

Normally I'd plug the guest's socials but I don't know any of his as of now.

I follow the news of the beer industry fairly closely (well, probably closer than most beer geeks do). I've been reading content by today's guest - Kate Bernot - for a while (Washington Post, Good Beer Hunting, Imbibe Magazine, etc). I recently joined the North American Guild of Beer Writers and realized she was the director. A few emails later and Ms. Bernot agreed to not only do this podcast and talk the state of beer, but also did a review of Ayinger Celebrator with me which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/gxHqczI1Q5M

In this episode, Kate and I talk about the differences between being a beer blogger/vlogger hobbyist (like me) and a professional industry journalist; what it takes to get a job like that; social media beer influencers; the NAGBW and plenty of other sudsy topics. By the way, she's a BJCP certified judge and holds a Certified Cider Professional from the American Cider Association.

One of the most popular BeerTubers to come out of the UK in recent years is Barry Lee aka @allthebeernoidea180 . I can see why, he's very personable, honest and funny. He does all his reviews off the cuff with little or no editing. I sat down with Barry to talk all things beer and plenty more topics.

Be sure to give Barry a follow here:

If you follow craft beer accounts on Instagram, you've probably seen "IPAs With Angela" at some point. She's not a beer reviewer per se, but more of a Beer Influencer with almost 25k followers! She makes hilarious short sketch comedy-type reels that more often than not incorporate beer (and particularly IPAs) in the bits. Angela travels often, especially to beaches and other places that give her the opportunity to show off her beach body (which is no doubt one of the reasons she has such a large following).

I wanted to know how she came to be such a lover of craft beer and especially of IPA, since she doesn't look anything like the typical neck bearded IPA connoisseur.

Speaking of IPAs, check out our collab review of Other Half's Broccoli Hazy IPA here: https://youtu.be/DssPRwKls3E

Joe Senigaglia has been one of the most popular BeerTubers of the last decade or so. His channel originally started out showing off his home arcade and video game collection. But he eventually pivoted to craft beer reviews where he found his audience. Joe is in San Diego; what many consider to be the craft beer capital of the USA. In this podcast Joe and I talk all about that and a whole lot more.
