Emmitt with the chug test. What a genius

[@malzundhopfen]

Love that guy

[@normlang1994]

That was a lot of fun. Excellent editing by the way! I know you had to dig through a lot of footage to find those gems 😆

[@Andrew_Thompson1776]

Just proves how incredibly well commercially brewed beers are brewed. A Bud Light purchased in North Carolina tastes identical to one purchased in Idaho.

[@mild_flounder]

Love that clawhammer makes a cameo! (Also always dig when Norm's on - gotta get him in front of the camera more often!)

[@MoreBeer_]

This was super fun!

[@TroubleBrewing]

Fun idea! Good group of people reviewing as well! Cheers!

[@BuzzKillingtonism]

I love these challenges. A lot of fun.

[@journeyfortwo5211]

A light lager is really nice once in a while

[@judylang3930]

That was/is fun to watch!! (Beer snobs unite 😉🤣)

[@nhender]

It's great having the claw hammer guy show up!!

[@NikitaVorontsov]

Love those results, it's so true though when you don't know it gets so difficult to guess! (Never thought i'd rate a Carling as a decent beer either!)

[@EvanArizona]

Do pseudo lager versus lager next!!!!

[@erichkrumanocker3930]

I find it funny that both are macro breweries! Next time, try to bring in a high quality craft brew.

[@JusBrewing]

I love blind tastings. Looks like y'all had a BLAST

[@bigbrendo69]

Isn’t voodoo ranger owned by Lion? If a multinational brewing company brews a mid strength lager is it still craft?

[@TheBruSho]

This was probably a lot tougher that you would think, not much flavor going on. Although I've had some pretty tasty craft light lagers before

[@danielcunningham6800]

I called it all based on what they looked like visually. The commercial beer had obviously poorer head retention once samples were taken.

[@melloman8210]

Triangle test….THEN discussion! Let’s have 6 individual, non biased tests.

[@Mcmiddies]

On The Hoppy Hour with CH, you mentioned you freeze your yeast. Can you make a video detailing the process? I buy yeast directly from bells and it's 40$ for two packs. It would be awesome to make those last.

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Here's how I do that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYq5oXVpfdmkbKM

[@Mcmiddies]

@@TheHomebrewChallengeThanks Martin!

[@tooidiotsbrewingcompany8137]

Fun Challenge. I don't think that i could tell the differnece.

[@Jango1989]

Oh dear Kyle 😂

[@christiann.7195]

In my opinion, its easier to find a good commercial lager vs a good “craft beer lager”. Not applicable to Ales.

[@azerbouf]

Hhhh... awesome! But I must say that not all "craft" beers are "craft"... If you feel beer tastes like a mass market, this is not a good craft beer. Skip it =) The whole idea of a craft is to make a special beer. IMHO

[@eddjordan2399]

yes

[@RuckinBrit]

But is it really craft - or a crafty clone ?

[@normlang1994]

I'd say it's craft adjacent 😉 In terms of scale, it's dwarfed by the likes of A-B, Miller or Coors (which owns Miller now).

[@danharris5873]

Most people can tell the difference between piss water and real beer! Give me a break Life's too short to drink shitty beer!

[@Tricky_Adventures]

Light lager doesn't even count as beer; it's what I put in my cat's water bowl.

[@TheAlchemistsBrewery]

I would divorce
