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.

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

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!

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.

I can't believe it took this long for me to finally meet and collaborate with Shaun and Mike of @NerdsenseReviews . They're big into comics, sci-fi, Kevin Smith, and other general geek culture (hence the channel name). Oh yeah they're also nerdy about beer. We talk about all these things and more in this episode.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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:

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

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.

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.
Be sure to check out this videos that inspired this discussion:

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 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.
