At long last, it's the BEERFEST 2019 GVLOG! Watch me get progressively less coherent.

Meanwhile, the person with the 'Graham's Feet are at' account is anxiously trying to remember their password

[@bustedsim]

Mostly so they can timestamp where "Graham's Drunk Feet are at" 51:08 BTW

[@astaiannymph]

Who else is weirdly fascinated by beerfest even though they don't drink?

[@vzq5175]

*raises hand* Watching this honestly makes me want to try drinking...

[@ArcMedicalResearch]

Watching this makes me appreciate the craft of beer-making, and the variety of flavors and types; but I don't think I will ever come around to actually liking or wanting beer

[@Sientir]

I really enjoy these VLOGs, and Graham's descriptions make me really interested in trying the beers, but I also know I do not like the taste of alcohol and therefore haven't ever actually had any beer.

[@LexYeen]

@@vzq5175 As long as you learn your tolerance - everyone's is different! - by looking at the percentage on your beverage of choice prior to consumption, and remember that it takes a few minutes for anything you swallow to hit your bloodstream and therefore your brain, I encourage you to (should you be of age in your jurisdiction) sample a selection of different fermented alcoholic beverages at your leisure. Assuming your sense of taste isn't sensitive enough to _always_ detect alcohol, and this is sometimes a thing, you may eventually find something you like. Beers have a huge variety, as demonstrated, but so do wines.

[@CasualKing21]

Me, right here! 🙋

[@grennysohail]

This was mentioned in the past, but I am glad to see that this function gives people free bus tickets. They want you to have fun all day, not be ruined by alcohol-induced accident

[@ExhaustedElox]

Grabbing a bee out of the air for a friend and getting stung by it is the most Adam thing I can think of.

[@LadyLunarSatine]

"Adam got stung by a bee." Me: "Of course he did."

[@BOTHthosearetaken]

I like that Ian is an organized drunk. If he's going to drink he's going to use correct procedure. That's very respectable.

[@LexYeen]

He very much strikes me as a quality over quantity person. But Beerfest? Beerfest means _both._ Which means _Preparation._

[@SpookySkellyman]

Staff member: "Do you have any pocket knives, anything like that?" G: "God no."

[@sankethbhaskar4236]

"I only carry exterior knives, like a civilized assassin"

[@BluTGI1]

What is this? Mail Time?

[@BiscuitsBox]

Camera bag = knife, it's Peter McKinnon's fault.

[@mofohasteheyelazors]

I know I was warned, but the audio is like a fresh meringue...stiff peaks.

[@brantsky]

There might be other sources of beerfests out there, but they don't have *this* hat!

[@MinniChii]

At the very end, a faint "see you next year!".... how full of hope they were.

[@realkamoricks]

2019, back when we could gather together and drink in public.

[@TheJohtaja]

To bygone times! *cheers*

[@LexYeen]

Not just drink in public, but drink _each other's drinks_ in public.

[@armisg5664]

@@LexYeen There's a similar event in Finland, too. It was NOT cancelled this year. I went to the Helsinki one. There was a limit on how many people could be in the area, but it was pretty packed nonetheless. Seems to have not been a problem. That's my one sin during corona times. :D

[@foxmar2344]

I don't drink but still really enjoy the beerfest vlogs!

[@MichaelMoore99]

Yeah, same.

[@plufim]

I always appreciate Ian being Ian as hell

[@FLAREdirector]

Firkin, Gratzer, and Quad sounds like a law firm.

[@mewr11]

I'm so excited to see the vlog for this year's "Canadian Beer Fest Online" :p

[@Ragnarakk]

The slow descent into incoherency while trying to stay refined and knowledgable by everyone is a fantastic time XD

[@diamondmagus]

I've enjoyed all the Beerfest videos, even as a very minor drinker, and this one was also great. I really liked having Ian along for an "expert" opinion which helped salve the lack of Matt Wiggins.

[@VioletMage]

I am always excited when I get a Graham Stark youtube notification

[@andrewlaverghetta715]

I love your Vlogs, Graham. Hopefully there's other content waiting in the wings because we're going to have a long stretch with nothing otherwise lol. "Hi folks, Graham here. Today, I figured I'd show you around the fridge..."

[@MyrddintheWizard]

The moment I noticed the Konami Code on Ian's hat: :D XD

[@alexmorley6622]

50 odd minutes of watching Graham slowly become more and more sunburnt/drunk. Worth every minute :)

[@phoniexman]

Man have I missed the vlogs. I know your slammed and have 40 thousand things on your plate, but I really missed these. Even just the work day stuff. Miss ya G, stay safe.

[@GrahamStarkVlogs]

Thank you!

[@amshermansen]

My favourite part of these vlogs is how friendly the staff are at each booth - and how they love talking about the stuff they make.

[@CMDRCrossing]

"I dont't wear hats." *checks channel picture*

[@GrahamStarkVlogs]

I mean, the Star Trek was itself a goof. But fair play, well spotted.

[@WhiteWizard42]

Honestly, I've seen Graham Stark wear more different hats than anyone in my life, between Feed Dump and Mail Time. But I agree he's not much inclined to it when left to his own devices.

[@EternalDensity]

It's very comforting to see Ian wearing a hat. As an Australian it always worries me to see G spend a day in the sun.

[@insaif]

I love getting to see these vlogs. Even as a non beer (or coffee) drinker, I deeply enjoy seeing people be passionate about things and you all are very thorough in your reviews of the different drinks. Also, I find it hilarious how you use shapes and object descriptions with defining the smells of the beers (round or no sharp edges). Here's to hoping we can get to a point where events like this can come back without worry.

[@RoyalWalrus]

The Clerks reference, Oh Graham, I love you.

[@Rogue_07]

I personally can't tolerate the taste of beer, but these vlogs are such a treat to watch. Thanks for a great pick me up today.

[@DrRockor]

Ahah, ye olde times, when gathering to drink didn’t require a zoom call

[@PolskiHacker99900]

YES!!! Finaly there is the 3th beer festival. I've been waiting for it SO long. This is my favorite "series" of your Vlogs G. Unfortunately there will not be one on this year :'(. Have nice day and i hope 2021 will be better and we see more Vlogs, specialy with beerfest, coffe with Serge and running Graham with Beej on a Pax :D

[@Haights]

"It's back and has a taste for Adam" Adam Savor-dan

[@calebcologna8681]

16:40 gave me a mild picnic 25:32 Ian’s VERY audible excitement is the best

[@Quiltfish]

Progressively tipsier Graham is my third favourite Graham.

[@ReallyNotAGoose]

What's your second favourite Graham?

[@Quiltfish]

@@ReallyNotAGoose Exasperated Graham from the Core 2020 preview card video with Repeated Reverberations. Number 1 is ambiguously stoner Graham from the Meghan Markle Okapi Feed Dump, not that you asked. :)

[@phantomaniperv]

Good to see Matt was there in spirit, with all the 'nice' being thrown around

[@Finkeldinken]

This was wonderful. It's so good to see relaxed people again.

[@iSmartMan1]

I don't drink, but hearing them describe beer is like ASMR for me

[@MyrddintheWizard]

Can’t watch now, but giving a like anyway. Love the Vlogs, Graham, and the beer fest ones in particular.

[@TheManaLeek]

My wife and I missed getting to Beer Fest by just a couple days on our honeymoon, but had a great brewery crawl or two while in Victoria! Including getting a 1 on 1 tour at Vancouver Island Brewing where I convinced the brewer to give me tips on brewing my own Nanaimo Bar Stout!

[@TheManaLeek]

I commented too soon. The Beauregarde Blueberry Cinnamon was my favourite beer from our time there. We packed a couple crowlers in our suitcases of it and declared Ile Sauvage our favourite brewery of the entire trip.

[@natural1sonly827]

31:48 It was at this point i realized just how inebriated Graham was

[@RuthlessPandora]

I started getting those vibes right around 'Oooooooh-Mommy'.

[@jon9828]

I started getting it at 19:15 ish. The stumbling for words and landing on " 'effin strange man", made me react. Edit: I accidentally a word

[@sankethbhaskar4236]

Yeah the Umami moment at 22:00 was my "yeah he's drunk" moment

[@MortimerLR]

The Toro is a few minutes before that point and I think that tipped him over to druuuuunk.

[@gltepel]

29:09 This is where I realized it with just a bit of unsteadiness I'm the feet. lol

[@danielhuertasg9021]

OMG James is so fit now!!! Good job buddy

[@Wyldomark]

I don't drink, don't like beers the littlest of bits, but boy do I love GVlogs. Nice, relaxing, and informative! There goes an hour of sleep and I regret nothing.

[@Valkyriesrevenge]

I could listen to Ian talk about beer all day. He has ASMR quality to his voice that's really soothing. Learnt alot too!

[@Ossum123]

what a pleasant surprise! time to binge every graham vlog ever once again.

[@racheljohnson8124]

"That tastes like the pages in Battlestar Galactica look," is possibly the best descriptor of anything I've ever heard, and only partially because it combines two of my favorite things - beer & BSG.

[@TheShoveler1887]

Being allergic to hops and thus unable to explore the world of beer, I'm thankful that you've posted this so I can live that dream through you.

[@Scrizati]

There's so much in this video I miss it's kind of heart breaking but wonderful. The PNW, Victoria, the weather, the craft beer scene, people enjoying a pleasant day out...

[@outistynnanyt5153]

I appreciate the gentle confrontation from different vendors of "Are you gonna give us a token?" You gotta have a lot of patience to put up with progressively drunker people all day

[@delmsh]

Graham we need more on this channel!!!

[@GrahamStarkVlogs]

I would also like that

[@delmsh]

@@GrahamStarkVlogs Its probably been hard to find stuff to vlog about during quarantine i imagine.

[@GrahamStarkVlogs]

Yes, but moreso the time to edit it. All my time is spent keeping the rest of LRR’s content afloat.

[@angelx9724]

I actually find this drinking vicariously through G quite soothing. Looks like everyone had a good time.

[@DMwithoutPCs]

This is giving me nostalgia for doing things, seeing people and not worrying

[@aernemus]

Seeing all of these crowds of happy drunks filled me with a profound sense of loss. These are some of my favorite vlogs, and now I cherish them as a reminder of what to look forward to when we can achieve a sense of normalcy again.

[@maxw__t__6538]

Ah. The long awaited 3rd part of the saga. Sill waiting for the prequel/spinoff tho.

[@BeccaRyy]

That guy who made the gratzer is my favorite. I love someone nerding out (in the best way) over something they love.

[@fletcherpratt4281]

When Graham said the audio spiked I wasn’t expecting him to go into Richter Hammerslam mode

[@youarethedemons]

That was pleasant; a vlog of people wandering around and enjoying a public thing like this is pretty pleasant, and moreso because of the everything right now. It might have taken awhile to get here, but this I'd say this is just the right time for this particular GVLOG.

[@TWilko234]

Thank you for this Graham, these have always been a highlight of your vlogs and it's really nice to see life before covid, it was weirdly refreshing and nice seeing things 'normal'

[@AcadianBacon8]

AWESOME. This is honestly my favorite content.

[@DiscordianTokkan]

I hope next year has things settle down enough that Beerfests can be a Thing again. One day!

[@qwillaqwincy]

It's a balm to the spirit to tag along with friends with a shared interest as they enjoy such an event together. It is fun to hear and see their reactions to beers they're familiar with and those they sample from friends cups.. Cool to see recycling receptacles at the event, too. TY, G, for sharing the slosh ;-P

[@thecolortwelve3784]

A new Graham Stark vlog?!? Best day in weeks! The Trilogy is now complete

[@DragongodZenos]

so when i saw this uploaded i thought it was just a video i watch a while ago being recommended. until i saw your tweet about it. thank you for uploading a great vlog once again graham

[@mumafiedmustangs]

this is great, new content, and a chance to vicariously live through someone from the "before times"

[@LexSama]

its always fun to watch Ian take a drink and then have to reboot

[@Tajessa]

The editing on the hibiscus mushroom beer was (😂) 👌💯

[@xdest]

It's the gvlog we all needed but didn't know it yet. Thank for this.

[@MDR-zf8th]

So glad to see this finally up, I your vlogs Graham...but now in the dystopian saga that has become 2020 it's even better to see a new one. It is most definitely...very nice.

[@mistyladybug]

I couldn't give less of a good gd about beer, and yet I always happily sign up to watch an hour of the LRRcrew sip & review the stuff (Especially during these pandemic times. Made me hella nostalgic for festivals and friends and no masks 😭) Thanks for another great gvlog, Graham.

[@SmaugUKA]

Almost an hour long Beerfest? Fuck yes. This should be fun.

[@thecx]

Drunk Graham = Best Graham.

[@MrJugglingbear]

That transformation behind Graham at 16:02 though. Really smooth *chef kiss*

[@connorsharp3570]

Rad video! A little bit of cheer is much needed right now, so thanks for sharing this Graham!

[@ribbontoast]

Okay I LOVE how they give a free bus ticket to everyone.

[@RuthlessPandora]

Watching videos of people having a nice time in the past is how I socialize now.

[@ElegantBoar]

Thought you could slip that Clerks "in a row!?" joke under the radar. I got you :D

[@jericotyler]

Watching this in 2020 is nerve wracking. LOL So much cross contamination!

[@xanosdarkpaw1]

We're all going to be damaged, aren't we?

[@RobertJW]

Hiver Oh, absolutely yes. My hand washing habits will never be the same.

[@EricOrang]

@8:04 OMG Cori I love your Frog Detective shirt!

[@joakimhansen7733]

All the LRR friends where awesome, but I personally feel Ian was an excellent addition to beer adventure.

[@Endermensinspace]

I was waiting for this vlog. Excited to see it finally out.

[@KinzyKenzie]

How have I never seen Corey's Frog Detective shirt before!??! Aaaaaaah I'm so happy!!

[@thecolortwelve3784]

Ah the legendary milkshake beer rumored by Adam last year

[@chrissmythe3472]

So absolutely worth the wait, loved every minute of it. Thanks for putting this out.

[@Middleman9595]

Like a good sour in the summer this video was really refreshing. Just seeing a bunch of people together having a good time gave me a renewed sense of...je ne sais quoi

[@MRBouma]

Yay a GVLOG. Just what I needed with Breakfast.

[@beaumcmahon3957]

Watching Ian getting more drunk as the video goes on is a gift haha and poor Adam the bee handler lol

[@jkdeadite]

These are always fun, Graham. Thanks for sharing.

[@irlylikecanada]

My god this makes me yearn for a beer fest. With people. It makes me yearn for beer and people.

[@avramlevitter6150]

Adam grabbing a bee out of the air is literally the most aggressive I've ever seen him be.

[@zacharyrichard3830]

Also, very cute little effect at 21:30 with the out-of-focus letters

[@redstranger07]

I adore watching you guys wax lyrical about beers :)

[@berndb3141]

As German, this is amazing to watch. Most beers here are still made acording to a purity comendment wich only allows water, malt and hop as ingrediences. All the different flavors at beerfest are wild.

[@informaturge]

I love these every time they happen.

[@informaturge]

Also those free sunglasses are dope as fuck.

[@Josh_Fredman]

Life is just fuller and richer when you have an Ian Horner for a friend.

[@tinyrubi7290]

Ive missed these so so very much! Thank you

[@Brickheadunofficial]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! I love your beerfest vlogs. I’d ask if you’re going to beerfest 2020, but...

[@doubleayrun]

when they eventually find a cure for Celiac, this will be a destination for me haha. love the vlog!

[@wilcoxchar]

It's heeeeeere! I always enjoy your beerfest vlogs and being able to see Canada's craft beer scene.

[@scruffythelilslugger]

I came here for a drunk Graham, but I stayed for the inebriated Ian.

[@capnkyle12]

This is a journey, and tough to watch without having a beer myself. Ian should be a beer salesman.

[@laurencebrown3822]

As someone who does not drink, I have a question about Beerfest. If you find yourself with a beer that you just flat out hate, what do you do with it? Is there some sort of designated beer disposal place, do you have to be sneaky about dumping it out, are you forced to just finish it? An inquiring mind wants to know! =)

[@GrahamStarkVlogs]

Yeah you just dump it. There are big buckets all over the place. I would try to find a friend to finish it, but... that sounds weird now.

[@LexYeen]

Oh hey, a place! I remember places!

[@srenj1985]

Wow, so much waiting for the episode. Love it. What an awesome beer festival. Keep those coming, when safe to do again. BTW Graham, you do know that there are Beers out there that Arent Sours right?

[@GrahamStarkVlogs]

Not at this event there weren’t!! (real answer, yes, and in fact I tried many even in this video :P )

[@srenj1985]

@@GrahamStarkVlogs always a great watch. You should however try the Big Ass Monet Stout collab from Lervig and Evil Twin. Beer brewed on pizza and dollar Bills.
