Brewing Master

Question:

With all the TV channels out there with DSS and stuff does anyone know of a show dedicated to home brewing? I think it would be a good Sunday afternoon show.

I was thinking last night of doing one on beer, tasting, homebrewing, and food matching, but I couldn’t think of a decent name that wasn’t already snagged. We all can dream Cheers, Mike

Response:

Im sure a name could be cooked up the the "Brewers Guild" or "The Art of Brewing" or "The Brewmaster" etc.. it could be aired on one of the Food channels and the kit makers and vendors Im sure would want to sponsor it. I think would be a popular show. Theres a show on one of the channels now that is about commercial and micro brews that I find interesting but we need one geared towards Beer Making.

Very cool idea. My thoughts were more around a show about beers.  Everything from brewery tours to homebrewing to tasting, competitions, and food pairings.  I think most shows on TV run 26 or so episodes per year, so idea should be limitless if it revolves around a variety of subjects.  If you ran it in the vein off Good Eats on Food Network, but with a little more seriousness to it, it would be informative and entertaining. The problem would be getting it produced and shown.  If Julia Child and Martha Stewart can pull it off, some brewer should be able to figure it out too. Cheers, Mike

Thanks for visiting the web site.  We’ve been running this show for about 5 years and it’s tough to get on any network.  We pitched to the food network and they said it would fail.  Then 6 months later they put there own version of our show on the network. We just got back from a great trip to Jackson WY to the Snake River Brewing co. doing a show.  If you want to see some of the shows they are at http://www.extranettv.com Herb

Mike, The show on the Food Network was a special about craft brewing.  I believe it only aired one time.  There is another producer out there that produced an awesome documentary called "The Craft Brewing Revolution"  he spent like 5 years working on it, and when he pitched it to the Food Network they turned him down.  They don’t want to accept any outside ideas.  Unless they come up with it themselves, they don’t care!!  "Brewin’ with Herb" has won over 7 national awards, and has been featured on Dateline NBC and they still won’t give us the time of day!! Cheers, Byron

The old NIH (not invented here) syndrome.  "Brewin’ with Herb" has won over 7 national awards, and has been featured on Dateline NBC and they still won’t give us the time of day!!

I guess money would be a nice addition to the acclaim.  Have you tried PBS?  Or one of the cooking shows that airs on PBS? — [Apparent Rennerian 567.7, 95.9] Al – rukbat at optonline dot net

You contact the outdoor channel?  They run shows on hunting and such, but also have gold mining shows and other types of ‘country style’ programming. May be worth a look. Mike
