I always get deep chuckle from condescending beer "lay-experts" who lose their chit over minuscule details in the narratives but, as both a certified beer judge, beer writer and home brewer, I found re-watching this series some 20 years later to be a nostalgic insight into the early years of craft beer culture in Australia. It was gratifying to see larger brewers using traditional gristed malt in process in an er when liquid malt-extract fast brew was the industry standard . I found myself sinking into a warm sentimentality binge watching this early era of brew culture renaissance...if you are beer nerd like me, you will to.

Staggering mistakes
atronseige9 July 2015
The program makes some HORRIBLE mistakes that feed the misinformation that the public clings to. Ales are NOT stronger (Blond, Cream), Lager is NOT always a light beer (Doppelbock), Stouts are not always heavy and full bodied, Dark beer is not heavy.
"Experts" making statements like "I think" to information is another big problem.
The information is sometimes just staggeringly false! Just because the researcher has never heard of something, IT DOES NOT MEAN NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD OF IT!
Clearly the information has not been researched enough and the the data has been centered around Australia, forgetting about the rest of the world.
Would not recommend this to anyone who is even slightly serious about beer.
