Firkin, Gratzer, and Quad || Beerfest 2019

[@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

[@robertwillemstein4031]

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! 🙋

[@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.

[@MinniChii]

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

[@mewr11]

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

[@brantsky]

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

[@Ragnarakk]

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

[@plufim]

I always appreciate Ian being Ian as hell

[@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..."

[@VioletMage]

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

[@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.

[@FLAREdirector]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@MrDudeMan6621]

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

[@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.

[@mofohasteheyelazors]

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

[@calebcologna8681]

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

[@MyrddintheWizard]

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

[@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

[@RoyalWalrus]

The Clerks reference, Oh Graham, I love you.

[@Izel_Aca]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@zacharyrichard3830]

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

[@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.

[@phantomaniperv]

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

[@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!

[@DMwithoutPCs]

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

[@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...

[@Finkeldinken]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@angelx9724]

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

[@Haights]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@Ossum123]

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

[@BeccaRyy]

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

[@MyrddintheWizard]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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'

[@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!

[@thecolortwelve3784]

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

[@EricOrang]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@tipulsar85]

For those playing the home game, A Quad is a type of Belgian Bock ale. Bocks also come in Trippel, Dopple and Mai- variations. In the US the most well known Maibock does not call itself one, because Rogue Brewing thought that adding the term Maibock was a bit of a mouthful when you call the beer Dead Guy Ale.

[@danielhuertasg9021]

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

[@LexSama]

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

[@mumafiedmustangs]

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

[@KinzyKenzie]

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

[@iSmartMan1]

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

[@fletcherpratt4281]

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

[@xdest]

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

[@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

[@redstranger07]

I adore watching you guys wax lyrical about beers :)

[@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.

[@maxw__t__6538]

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

[@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.

[@DiscordianTokkan]

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

[@Tajessa]

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

[@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.

[@stephenkorz8563]

We missed our Beerfest down south of Toronto this year, so my friends and I all brought craft beers to a backyard, put them in a kiddie pool. :)

[@RuthlessPandora]

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

[@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. :)

[@SmaugUKA]

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

[@MadMontyMN]

Twin Cities? That's where I live. Sure, it's the Minnesotan cities, and I reside in one of them, but hey!

[@joakimhansen7733]

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

[@irlylikecanada]

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

[@AcadianBacon8]

AWESOME. This is honestly my favorite content.

[@EnigmaHarper]

I am not a drinker and I especially don't like beer, but watching this makes me want to try everything you try. It must be the way you describe them.

[@beaumcmahon3957]

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

[@chrissmythe3472]

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

[@ElegantBoar]

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

[@ribbontoast]

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

[@Adderkleet]

20:00 - Can you and/or Ian eat cilantro, or do you have the soapy-taste gene? Maybe that (or coriander) was in London fog somehow.

Soapy cilantro for me!!
