The Big Shoot Weekend Wrap Up!

Wow! What a weekend we had! Tiring, hot, long days, but when you have a good brew by your side none of that matters. We traveled all over Brooklyn...from Williamsburg to Red Hook and everywhere in between.

We started the weekend with an interview Friday morning with one of the founder's of Brooklyn Brewery, Steve Hindy. We ended the weekend with a relaxing Home Brew segment in Ray's back yard in Williamsburg. You'll find out where else we've been when we post a trailer in the next few weeks. Who can guess where this picture was taken?

Big Shoot Successful!

The majority of Beer Quest's pilot is in the can (or bottle, cask or keg if you prefer)! More to come soon!

Beer Quest's Big Shoot!

This weekend we have our main shoot for Beer Quest! Friday, Saturday, & Sunday we will be traveling all over Brooklyn meeting with Brewery Owners, Brew Masters, Patrons, and Home Brewers. We can't wait to wrap production, so we can get into the edit room and bring Beer Quest to all of you!

If you'd like to be featured on the show, please come to the Brooklyn Brewery this Saturday from 12 PM - 3 PM. We will be shooting a segment in the Beer Hall. You get 6 beer tokens for $20 bucks! That's a great deal considering the variety of beers they offer. So instead of sitting back and reading, please come and join us on our Quest this Saturday!

Back to the Brazen Head!

Tonight we traveled back to the Brazen Head for their 18th Tri-Annual Cask Festival! We shot some additional footage and sampled some great brews! We want to thank Lou, Andy, & Alex for all of their help with producing an incredible segment for the episode.

Joining us on our journey tonight were DJ Jardo Valliere, Jon Shirley Miller, Jake Geiger & of course our host of Beer Quest, Steve Lachioma. Check out our video blog for more information!

Shoot Successful!

Shoot at Brazen Head was a success! We got tons of great footage and there will be more news to come soon. In the mean time be sure to head over there for the cask festival in the next three days for their 18th Tri-Annual Cask Festival. For more info go to brazenheadbrooklyn.com and gotham-imbiber.com. Who knows, you may even see us over there.

Shooting Begins!

In a couple hours Kieran and I will begin shooting the pilot for Beer Quest! It's taken a lot to get here and there's still a lot more to come but it's great to have that real feeling that something is happening. Hopefully we'll have some pictures to put up soon after since we're too cheap to get a digital camera. Until then here's a picture of Kojak:


As mentioned before the first shoot will be covering the setting up of the Brazen Head's 18th Annual Cask Festival and it is very likely you'll be able to catch us back there Friday or Saturday. If you're a beer enthusiast definitely check out the Brazen Head for all the kick ass beers they'll have this weekend. Here's the location:

So hold tight everyone and wish us luck. Can't wait to tell you how everything goes.

Blog Launch

Well it's been a long time since we've posted anything here but with things moving ahead with the pilot we figured its about time to let the world at large know a bit more about Beer Quest and get our blog off the ground. We'll begin with shooting the setup for the Brazen Head's upcoming cask festival which will be occurring from Friday May 1st through May 3rd at their bar on Atlantic Ave. We were fortunate enough to get a sneak peak at the list of some of the casks and all we have to say is that if you're anywhere around the area you'll want to make a stop. You may find more information at the web site of the cask man himself, Alex Hall: www.gotham-imbiber.com.

Right now as part of our ongoing beer education Kieran and I are preparing to bottle up our first batch of home brew which should be ready to drink in about a week. Starting off with an English-style brown ale, we have thought carefully about a perfect name, something that gives it elegance and grace and decided to go with "Septic Stew Brown Ale". Hopefully some of you will get a chance to this very special inaugural brew of the Beer Quest Brewing Company. Tomorrow we have our second batch of home brew coming up, a very dark and strong dunkelweizen so wish us luck.

Until then keep enjoying good beer and be sure to say hi if you see us around town.
