    Good podcast could be better
    I do enjoy the podcast for the most part. The only thing that I really don’t like is one of the host will ramble on for close to half an hour. I need to fast forward, or I tune it out. If they would control him more or edIt out more then half of the rambling would be 5 stars
  • davidmccully
    Informative on a Practical Level
    Very interesting to listen to experienced judge’s explain what they’re tasting and what the probable causes of different flavors are. Always fun to hear the recipes as well. It’s like second-hand brewing experience to supplement my own encounters with homebrewing. Keep it up!
  • Croggerbear
    The whole network has given up
    It's clear this whole network has given up. There's large gaps between releases, and then when there are releases it a batch of mutliple episodes at once. Editing is the biggest victim. Commerial breaks are dead silence. Commericals are annoying enough, dead air is just laziness.
  • frymd
    Great Stuff!
    You guys are awesome. I'm a Certified BJCP judge whos trying to improve on my own tasting score to move up in the ranks. And by listening to this show, I gain some wonderful vocabulary and ways to describe what I'm tasting in a glass. Thank-you....
  • Stangela13
    Leveling up
    Just listening to these guys has improved my judging, vocabulary, and descriptive abilities on scoresheets. I definitely owe my recent jump up in tasting score in no small part to this show. Additionally, I feel it's helped me prep for the written exam just by listening to the discussions that are had during each episode. Thanks, guys. Cheers.
  • NestoFC
    My fav
    Listen to several BN shows, but this is one I always stay up to date on. Great info if you have an interest in homebrew competitions.
  • idontknowyoutellme
    GOOD SHOW
    Funny and well put together. Plenty of advertisement too.
  • Jay24350
    Brewtastic!
    I love the concept of this show and giving brewers immediate feedback on their brews. Brewers also get the chance to be on the show and ask specific questions on how to improve. What a great exchange of information and learning for everyone!
  • drjasonb
    Fantasgreat
    Awesome show. Entertaining and informative. Great new addition to the BN lineup.
  • Smurfe04
    Very Informative Show
    I'll give 2 thumbs up to Dr. Homebrew. I have been a BN listener since Day 1. All of their shows have overall been very informative and/or entertaining (insert Lunch Meet) What I like about Dr Homebrew is the in time feedback on a listeners beer. Just like the tag line says, It's an interactive BJCP score sheet. Feedback and suggestions are very on par with improving the brewing process. This is yet another program that keep the Brewing Network on top of the home brewing beer information world.
  • Scotty B Brewing
    BEST BEER SHOW EVER!!
    I love this show! It's everything a homebrewer could hope for! An interactive BJCP scoresheet! I only hope that one day I shall be a guest on the show and have my homebrew sampled by the awesome JP, Brian and Lee!
  • Travismv81
    Awesome Show
    Keep doing what you're doing. Good format and is helping me get ideas on how to align my beer better with BJCP guidelines.
  • A G
    Great Addition to the BN Lineup
    Although JP likely hid me on Facebook, that doesn’t stop him from running a fine show! Great info from two top-notch BJCP judges.
  • tywestfall
    Great new show
    Fantastic new show. The knowledge of the host and staff are excellent and really do a great job evaluating the beers sent in.
  • Petedadink
    Great listen !
    If you want some insight on what master level judges look for and looking to hear Homebrew techniques discussed in depth . This is the show for you
  • Prccap
    Great
    Some info contradicts newer info that has been broadcasted on the BN but all in all a good show
  • srsimko
    Great Show
