Basic Brewing Radio/Video I started listening to Basic Brewing in 2005 with their debut episode and have been a regular listener since. While they may not have the most technical home brewing show, Steve and James produce a solid show for beginning and intermediate home brewers, walking them through the process in easy step-by-step fashion and talking about the problems and issues that home brewers may encounter. For example, recent episodes speak to concerns about the chemicals we use in home brewing and their toxicity.

One of the more interesting podcasts I recently discovered, and admittedly one that I don't listen to very often, is 1beer1song a podcast that pairs a beer with a song, combining beer and music discovery together in one podcast. This one might be a bit too specific for many, but I quite enjoy it.

Another new discovery for me is the review video casts from the Beer Temple bottle shop in Chicago, where owner and Siebel-trained and certified cicerone offers weekly reviews of the beers in his shop. Some might find Chris's take a bit pretentious or over the top but he gives a very detailed review and brings his cicerone and beer judge training to his descriptions, andnas a result, his reviews are well informed and wonderfully in depth.

Honorable Mention: New Brew Thursday. Unfortunately the guys at New Brew Thursday have unplugged the mics and cameras and gone on to bigger adventures. First started in 2008, this simple podcast, which feature 3 guys sitting around talking about beer, evolved over the years to become one of my favorite and one of the more informative and well-produced shows on the web. Their reviews were very good, the interviews with industry insiders were always informative, and their "Master Pairings" with Stone Brewing's Doctor Bill Sysak added depth to the show. Although they aren't producing new shows you can still watch the archives.
