For our second blind show we had Hart from the Sharp Edge Beer Emporium choose the beers and the drinking order. This show was a lot of fun to record, but we were hit up by the Evil future robots and the quality of the audio is not so good. Evil robots 1, CBR 1.

Extras
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.

Oh Noes!
You spoiled it!
Still listening to the show. When you started on the second one, post-prod Jeff mentioned what that second beer is. Why, Jeff, why? Couldn't you at least give us a spoiler alert of some kind?
Ugh.
What's worse (and this one is my own darn fault), I came here to leave a comment and couldn't help but notice another beer name. Silly me.
Apart from this slight frustration, I must say that I'm really enjoying this episode so far. Much more appropriate approach than Blind Show #1. And I completely agree with Greg The Contrarian about the whole context thing. Too many beer geeks talk as if they assumed that tasting is context-free, that we easily get rid of biases and that we taste "objectively" (which, if you think about epistemology 101, would make no sense whatsoever).
As for audio quality, it's noticeably less pleasant than any episode in the last year or so. But it really isn't that bad. It sounds better than a phone interview on AM radio and is decent enough for the purpose of the show.
Good job, guys!
But, please, for the next Blind Show (I really hope you'll do more), think of a way to not give out too much for those of us who'd prefer playing along. If you post the flight order on the page and announce this in the show, those who want to know can go and look. Or you can say it at the end of the show so people can skip to the end (at least on most MP3 players) and come back to listen to the show. Otherwise, I'll just start singing out loud every time I hear post-prod Jeff's voice. Good thing the voice is easy to recognize.

Sorry for spoiling the fun,
Sorry for spoiling the fun, Other people have commented that they liked knowing the beer when we didn't. we will have to figure out the best way to do blind #3.
Oh yeoes, I'm happy to disagree
I thought it was GREAT pre-show Jeff showing up for the reveal beforehand. Heck, knowing what you're going to drink before you both completely munge your 'mental taste' (thinking you're tasting something you're not), lets me drink that same beer and try to bridge the connection from the other side.
If there are > 50% that disagree, you can have pre-show Jeff list off the beers in order that you try them at the beginning of the show, with a numerical order reminder on-show as you open them. It'd take away a little from the fun having the beer name/style so far apart from the tasting, but it'd make the fussbuckets fast forward less frequently.
...and good job on the editing. It sounded stellar compared to the pre/post shows.
Well it couldn't be Pre-show
Well it couldn't be Pre-show jeff, otherwise it would not be much of a surprise to main show jeff. I hope I didn't open the door to have to do 2 cuts of blind shows. one with. and one without spoilers.
Another thumbs up
Just adding another "love it" for the format. It's great knowing what the beers are in advance. It was especially cool when there were two I've actually had (Liberty Ale and Duvel), so I could go through the exercise with you in my head. This is probably normal for US listeners but made it super awesome for the poor token kiwi! ;)
