BGRT - Topics
Heath suggested hashing out the topics that we will discuss so we don't talk about the same things as the last two times. While I don't want to have a script, I suppose an outline would be good. Here are a few ideas.
The Hop Shortage.
New and Interesting Winter Brews.
Why is Greg so damn sexy.
Craft Beer Radio is an Internet talk show about craft and micro brewed beers. The mission of the show is to spread the word of good beer. We introduce people to craft beer, and teach them about different beer styles, brewers who make them, and beer history. Whether you are new to craft beer or have been drinking it for more than 20 years we have something for you.
If you have comments or questions that you would like us to read over the air, Email Us.

Is the BGRT closed to newcomers? I would be interested in participating on Jan. 9 or 16, but Jan. 8 is not possible.

Topics
Yeah, I wasn't necessarily looking to get it scripted, just a few things to spur conversation if things weren't moving organically.
Since I suggested it, now I have to come up with potential topics...
Progress of macros doing micro...
Beer advertising, especially targeting craft beer drinkers
Best beers tasted in 2007
Why is Jeff chicken to confront the Shelton Brothers?
Craft beer trends, local or otherwise.
Session beers: Do beer geeks actually care?
more topics
Cellaring beers would be interesting if there are others that do. What's you setup like? How long is too long?
BGRT
I should think that the hop situation would be more topical, and that it would pertain to more activities in beer culture atm. Any evening of any day that ends in "Y" is fine by me, just send me a PM or an email notifying me is all I ask :-)
Prost!

I will not be able to
I will not be able to participate in the round table due to work but I did have a comment about the Shelton bros beers. I have been drinking lump of coal stout at Christmas every year for the past 3 years and this year I did not enjoy it at all. I noticed it was very sugary and not good as you guys did. At the time I thought maybe my tastes had changed but now I am wondering if maybe they changed the beers this year, I have really enjoyed the lump of coal stout in the past. I even went so far as to compare the ABV since I still have the empty bottle of the first one I had in 05 but it had not changed. This may be a tradition that will have to end for me.
