That first viewing should have been enough for me to stay away from the second DVD but I just had to finish watching it.  I am going to keep this follow up review short.  The bottom line is, the breweries and bars they went to visit were all pretty cool but the hosts didn’t have a clue.  Their Beer Nutz rating system continued to annoy me, they had no real insight into the beers they tried and worst of all, the one host couldn’t tap a beer.  That’s right, he was in search of the ultimate beer nut and the guy couldn’t even tap a beer.  He tried in at least 5 episodes and failed miserably each time.

I don’t know much, but I know this, if you are going to do a show about being a huge beer fan, KNOW HOW TO TAP A FRIGGEN BEER!

I just finished watching the first DVD (there are 2 in total) and it’s not as bad as what some of the reviews said but it’s not great either.  The places they visit are really neat, lot of great breweries and lot’s of great beer.  I think the places they picked were among the best those cities had to offer but the information they provide is rather shallow.  They taste the beer but rarely give you an insightful look into what the beer tastes like.  You never see them really describe the beer in a meaningful way.  They have this wacky Beer Nutz “keg” rating where they rate each person or place they encounter and determine just how much of a Beer Nut that person is but it seems like a completely arbitrary rating.  They assign a rating based an enthusiasm more than quality of beer.  Every time they rated anything, it took away from the show rather than added to it.

All in all, I am glad I watched the first disc but I am not sure I will bother getting the second.
