You are absolutely right, if we can get our hands on more of this I would be more than willing to give it another shot! Thanks for being a fan Stingo! Glad you enjoy the shows! Hey Stingo!

However, I think in a previous episode (42?), it was sickpuppy encouraging people to give a beer a chance - revisiting it in a month or two to see if you like it then. Does Butternuts get a second chance? Keep up the good work. This was one of your better shows.

So "it seems to me your horrible at what you do. get a new hobby." So if we disagree with you we are horrible at what we do and need to get a new hobby? That sounds perfect! The truth is we hated your beers, get over it. Well, out of 44 episodes, this is the only time we had an issue with an entire brewery and as you can see from

I'd be willing to try it again if you give me a reason. Spend more time on your brewing than online. cheers -spoon Mike, for someone who works for Butternuts Beer & Ale I’d expect a better comment.

I may have to send you some Butternuts just for the hell of it :) Bill - I would rather drink the Chelada again. just sayin... Drunken Polack - even if we got a VIP trip/tour of the place and free beer for a year I will never drink this again. Well maybe once to prove the fact it sucks.

I'm glad I don't need to try that shit now. HAH I see a lot of blogs get free samples from the brewery you blasted and well it’s pretty much the same results.

I remember most of his songs, from Amos Moses to East Bound and Down. Was surprised that he was only 71. I looked him up on Wikipedia for Bio info. I'll have to drink one to Jerry while listening to George Jones' "Who's going to fill their shoes?". A fitting tribute. Yeah, the Sam Adams Imperial Pilsner is easily as hoppy as a lot of IIPAs (double IPAs). Its BIG, its BRASH, and its Balanced too. Not a session brew, but great if you're only having one or 2. Also good as a session finisher, as it will clean out your palate and tastebuds! As for the Butternut(s), I would think that after chugging that Clamato Chelada swill, you could handle anything. Could Butternut possibly be worse than Bud with tomato and clam juice? I don't think so! Cheers! Forgot to mention about the Jerry Reed tribute. I remember most of his songs, from Amos Moses to

Never was a big fan, but I know he was a legend. Wow, this was painful to listen to. You torched this brewery. I found it ironic that you had beers from The Good Beer Show on your last episode, followed by some seriously bad beers on this one. So funny what you said about cartoons on the labels of beer too. Groucho & CHUD stayed away from Fantome Saison because of the stupid ghost on the label, then they had it on my suggestion and loved it. Now they're wondering how many other great beers they've not tried because of what they considered bad labeling. If I were you, I wouldn't expect any love letters from Butternut after this one. I hope that maybe you guys just got some bad cans of beer, maybe they got hot at some point or something. I don't know a lot of breweries that make a bad beer every time. It's unfortunate in this case, because people would easily blame the fact that it's in cans, and canned beer is on the rise in craft brewing. CFF is one of my main fundraisers every year, so it was great to hear you pimping the Brewing Up a Cure event. We do the great strides walk every Spring and raise a ton of money for CF, which is still cutting precious lives short at too great a pace, but thanks to the CFF and events like this, we're making progress. Cheers to the dudes at TRUB for their hard work. Nice tribute to Jerry Reed. Never was a big fan, but I know he was a legend.

I loved the IP when it was out last year but could only drink 1-2 before my mouth puckered. pure deliciousness! Oh, and I would never disrespect the GK by pouring that swill down it. prost!

Just more bad brews out of cans. Perhaps you should have poured the contents through a Gray Kangaroo. However, some beers can't be helped no matter what you do with them. While listening to you two 'belly ache' about the lousy brews, I was partaking of a 2007 Sam Adams Imperial Pilsner. I just got news (via email) tonight that SA will be offering this great brew again next month. Another enjoyable show ... Well, guess I won’t be buying any Butternut beer.
