Blue Beer?? | Beerfest 2024

[@stephers1983]

Every one of the Beerfest vlogs brings me so much joy. It’s to the point where I - a non-drinker - have pushed my boyfriend to try more local brewery products so I can have a tiny Beerfest to observe every time he goes to get some.

[@pauldee1577]

I am living proof that you can love going to beer tastings and wine tastings while hating the prospect of getting too drunk and thus avoiding the act of getting too drunk. I don't like to get more than 2 or 3 "drinks" in me-luckily you can try small amounts of more varieties by ordering a flight at a brewery or a tasting at a winery. Both are widely-adopted practices at your average brewery or winery. It's fun! And you don't have to get too drunk to drive a vehicle.

[@disco_falcon1895]

Now I want James to show up at the Moonbase with some of the pickle beer shouting "Dilly Beer!"

[@Ranakel]

The smash cut to "Kathleen, try this, it might kill you" was impeccable.

[@Antiivvan]

Graham, please never stop making these! I don't think I've smiled for nearly 40 minutes straight in a long time and its incredibly therapeutic seeing you and your friends having a great time. I always look forward to seeing these Beerfest videos even if I don't like beer, it makes me want to give it a try within my local scene! Please keep making these, you have a real talent for making other people smile!

[@DanielSolis]

INT: TEN FORWARD Data offers a bottle of baja blast to Scotty. Perplexed, Scotty asks "What is it?" "It is..." Data pauses. "It is..." Data sniffs. "It is blue."

[@sokkyu]

After the federation ended a trade embargo banning Romulan ale imports, the star empire resumed the import of Baja Blast. Disaster ensued on both sides.

[@Frittataa]

Super cool to see Matt again! Glad hes doing well. Also always love these beer fest vids!

[@foxmar2344]

"It tastes like blue" - Graham Stark 💙

[@0x6772]

But also: it doesn't look like something you drink on Star Trek so much as something that people actually do drink, on screen, repeatedly in Star Wars.

[@8frostmourne]

@@0x6772 Yeah it looks more like blue milk; as far as I remember romulan ale was always a transparent blue liquid

[@0x6772]

@ I mean, it’s *believable* as a beverage in either universe.

[@NicincM]

Blue means sharks in it!

[@SonicSlicer]

@@0x6772 Yeah, Romulan Ale/Kali-Fal would be Blue, but transparent-ish, like water with blue food coloring. It's not thick enough to be translucent.

[@DarthSmirnoff]

"I'm taking it a little easier." *Cuts to 35 minute mark* "Graham did, in fact, not take it easy, and had to be wheel-barrow'd home, as is the custom for Canadian field drinking."

[@NIRDIAN1]

Jokes on you, Graham! I don't drink beer so I get my entire beer-opinion and taste-experience from these annual treats you make! :)

[@LyingTube]

I think someone in LRR once said that it's entertaining to watch people be good at a task, and whilst G* et al may not be expert alcohol aficionados, they're sufficiently good enough to always be a delight.

[@sankethbhaskar4236]

I appreciate graham handing beers to Kathleen purely for the reaction shots

[@y0_jimb0]

Graham: It's delicious and/or nice Kathleen: 😵‍💫

[@nathanlonghair]

Every one of her facial expressions were worthy of a gif and/or an Oscar

[@Tweygoh]

Love the impromptu Teen Girl bit

[@twistedlimitsjj1901]

Searching every comment because I thought I just imaged that entire bit. I can't believe every comment is "ooooo blue beer." And no one is mentioning the rollercoaster of impromptu teen girls

[@Keifeto]

@@twistedlimitsjj1901 felt. that hold bit almost made me crack up at work xD (edit: for clarity in a out loud and attention drawing kinda way.)

[@keab42]

Andrew's nails are stunning

[@nathanlonghair]

The yearly experience of feeling like back when I had friends is invaluable

[@tipulsar85]

That Baha Blast beer looks more like Star Wars's "blue milk". If your Romulan Ale is that cloudy, ask your local Romulan if it's safe to drink.

[@andreagustafson3757]

Yea, I can't believe no one on camera mentioned blue milk!

[@tjf42193]

Kathleen Just causing chaos with the what teen girls think bit was hilarious

[@melissajones492]

Thank you so much for posting this. It is currently 18 Freedom Degrees with snow in the forecast where I am, so it was wonderful to see summertime shenanigans. Cheers, good sir. You make the world a better place.

[@rosesmcgee4159]

Ben is correct. French toast = top tier breakfast food.

[@derrickobara6806]

Mr Stark, I do not like sours, but I will watch you and yours drink, all day.

[@armisg5664]

I dunno why, but the mellow drunk vibe at the end just makes happy.

[@PharaohBender27]

The blue hat returns! Little did Graham know that his hat would match one of the beers . . . Also, appreciate the impromptu Teen Girls on the Street bit :D

[@scbiggles]

16:58 My spouse, whose first name is Dill, is always sad when Graham says “I don’t like dill.”

[@sokkyu]

Perhaps he could take on the name of another herb, if thyme permits of course.

[@danmatthiesen9160]

@@sokkyu that is sage advice

[@phyrexiancoffee6324]

You've made this festival look so damn good over the last few years. While 2025 isn't in the cards for me (all of my vacation time is already spoken for), I think in 2026 I'm gonna make the trip to good ol' Canada for Beer Fest. Hopefully I'll see you guys there, always wanted to say hi and thank you for the well over a decade of good times.

[@marmelade95]

such many lovely people always happy to see leelee

[@scw55]

I think we watch this because we enjoy you enjoying yourself. And your editing and camera skills are enjoyable to watch.

[@videoiris13]

Thank you for this Saturday morning cozy watch ❤

[@Blockrates]

What a wonderful surprise to show up on my feed, always love the vlogs. Thanks, G!

[@JankTank]

Going to beerfest with the LRR crew sounds like an absolutely lovely way to spend a day! thanks for sharing with us! might have to pour out a flight for myself to enjoy with this video!

[@milg44]

Cheers to another year of good health!

[@Type_One___]

Lets Gooooo!!!! New Beer-Vlog!!!

[@SuperFlik]

Beerfest Video means one thing: Matt Wiggins

[@Nathaniel.21]

I don't know why I, as someone who doesn't drink, enjoys watching people discuss beer for almost an hour. But I do, so thank you for making this.

[@schnellnful]

thanks to leelees work about 12 years ago i am now working as a game designer. send her my thanks.

[@sfsmaus]

It's the "Beeriest" Great Canadian of 2024! Woo!

[@youbesilly2k5]

Come for the grahm beer drinking. Stay for the kathleen weird faces when tasting beers. Lol

[@TheTramil]

Here in quebec, it has been a snowstorm that has lasted for the last 3 days. This summery video is very good for my soul, thank you!

[@SventFulgur]

These vlogs are the highlights of my day, I clicked the video so fast! 😁

[@drren1229]

I do like your opinions on how things taste. In fact these videos have gotten me to try new types of beers even if options are a bit lacking in my area

[@TamesLovesGames]

Eating delivery pizza and watching Graham enjoy beerfest has my night sorted.

[@sonofloki-wn3vj]

Love your beer fest videos, get to see Matt again!! Miss him from Friday Nights😢

[@RayneOfSalt]

Omg! THAT'S what they were drinking in Star Wars! Ben! You genius!

[@oisinbrogan]

I hope I am not alone in watching all of the Beerfest G vlogs to hear Graham's real thoughts on beer. Along with everyone enjoying themselves on a lovely summer day.

[@zacheryfrasier672]

I don't typically like beer but watching these makes me want to give beer another try.

[@Raayvhen]

We went on Friday this year, inspired by your previous visits. I learned a few things: We can take a later ferry to Canada and still have plenty of time. We won't be waking up at 4 am to catch the 830 ferry from Port Angeles next year. I need to bring a hat. We will be making this a yearly trip. Most importantly, bring shoes other than Birkenstocks if you're going to walk 13 miles in one day around the island, otherwise you'll be spending quality time with the amazing folks at the first aid tent.

[@majorfrostbyte7022]

I love Graham, but dang I'd love to have one of these made by Ian as his descriptions and detail are fantastic.

[@stonerkid21]

I watch these for Graham's unfiltered true review of beers. I honestly wish I had something like this around where I live.

[@Vmcf1968]

looked like a nice afternoon with the homies

[@jakubdrabent8158]

For me it was always the best part of LRR. You can see those guys are just friends. There content is never over scripted, they are not Influencers or Personalities with capital letters, they are just a funny bunch who care for each other, hang out, and stumbled onto the fact that people like to watch them hang out

[@caimheul]

I always love to see G-vlogs! Beerfest vids are also always a hoot, regardless of length.

[@MiffoKarin]

I don't enjoy beer, but I always enjoy the chill beerfest vibes

[@EnigmaHarper]

"It tastes like blue" is a perfectly rational statement. I had a blue lemonade at a party, and honestly, it just tasted like blue. Water and blue food coloring that someone floated lemons slices in.

[@bv310]

Blue is my favourite flavour for non-carbonated drinks

[@SonicSlicer]

8:23 "It tastes like Blue" I'm dyin' 🤣

[@Azeria]

35:09 James’s watch though??? so pretty

[@EderNovacki]

the beerfest episodes are my faves.

[@AvrosKyargath]

I watch these to hear your real thoughts on beer, you got me interested in trying more sours a few years back and now I love them! Always a pleasure to watch your vlogs G

[@teddybagadonuts2617]

Thank you for posting this in the middle of winter when it's currently 4*F outside.

[@teapra17]

I really like these beerfest vlogs. Makes want to go some.

[@Frogomb]

I love these beer fest episodes! So much happy there's a 2024 edition.

[@Scrizati]

Many recognisable old faces in the background. Seems like a super chill time

[@artifex_amandalastname2297]

We do enjoy watching you attempt to describe the beer without the vocabulary, it's charming.

[@LexYeen]

Agave passionfruit sour? *I'm in.* Edit: 20:15 The two of you have the most Addams Family vibes. Hell yeah.

[@wilcoxchar]

I always look forward to these, it's fun to see what breweries in other places are doing. The cherry french toast one sounds great.

[@ff0213]

Tell you what - only a little bit into the video and im loving the Soundtrack of the event. While im not a big beer drinker i would love to go there to listen to the environment Edit - Trust Cam to bring a new level of difficulty and style to Beerfest. And Trust Adam to bring out the sweats in people by lifting those anvils with ease

[@PantherAssaultCannon]

These videos always make me want to make the trip out to Beerfest, but I always forget by the time the actual Beerfest comes around! Maybe this year.

[@MatthewMcKee]

I love the Kathleen reaction faces.

[@draytonyork4811]

These make me want to go to a beer fest so bad!

[@lexslate2476]

We are here to enjoy the company of G-Money and the crew. The beers sound delicious. We love hanging out with the LRRians. They are comforting.

[@djshire1984]

I was super excited to see this VLOG when the it popped up as a notification on my smartwatch.

[@Olfan]

An entire townful of slightly to heavily inebriated people, all being merry and engaging in refreshing discourse. Such a delight. Should I ever win the jackpot, I'll fly over from Europe just to meet you guys at this very event.

[@vinewood_OG]

Okay we got to the "Sisko busts out the Romulan Ale" joke. Nicely done. Love the GVlogs!!!

[@F3rum]

Uhhh yea! I'm not going to sleep now! Beer fest! Beer fest! I was looking forward to this vlog.

[@KBKarma]

I hope that one day I get to experience this Beerfest.

[@thedevilcomes2011]

BeerFest GVlog. Sign me up! Thanks for sharing Graham and all!

[@thedevilcomes2011]

OMG the teen girl OP from Cam was mint. 10/10 no notes

[@GenCavox]

I don't even drink beer but I look forward to this vid every year.

[@fosterark]

Man, I did not realize how much I needed this in my life today.

[@raincoast_bear]

You folks always make this event look like a fun day out. Nice to see our local New West brewers, Steel & Oak represented. I like their Dark Lager. Maybe I should make the trip to the island for Beer Fest 2025.

[@diamondmagus]

Huzzah, another great Beerfest vlog! I especially appreciate seeing all the friendly LRR and adjacent folks in this video. I think my tastes land largely near Adam's: just give me a Capri-Sun.

[@CrazyMattLine]

HELL YES! Been waiting for this

[@sokkyu]

Thanks autoplay I haven't seen this gvlog- wait hol up? New beerfest? Yaaaaa boi

[@XyryuHyota]

All's well in the world when the annual beerfest vlogs continue to be a thing. :D

[@JavaNinja808]

I love these videos so so much

[@Coloneljesus]

Yo, Pretzel-Necklace (Precklace?) is actually genius for a venue like this!

[@Maximilianus101]

All these beers have so many words...

[@Coloneljesus]

Andrew's nails are FANTASTIC

[@trachalio]

Low Life Barrel House! 😍 It's a dangerously close 1/2 hour walk from my house 🤩

[@anbuagent12]

I have never, and will never drink more than a sip of beer a year, and yet i always go "Ooo!" every time i see this pop up.

[@nathanielleon4163]

Wasn't expecting Banished to make their way all the way out there! They sponsor our local Charity Gaming Marathon. Great folks!

[@the-urbansasquatch]

Love Low Life!

[@trevorknight3904]

Oh good. I was rewatching the other years last week hoping for a new one soon. I actually attended my first beer fest in October thanks in part to these videos. It was much smaller than Victoria's but I had fun trying all of the sours and ciders I could find.

[@datastorm17]

I would have probably enjoyed the Baja Blast one too. Planning on going to a brew fest near me when I get the chance now. Thanks Graham

[@psychopurple]

Can someone let me know if these are halves or thirds (pints). TYVM, Thanks for sharing! I'm here for your thoughts! And every second Cameron is on.

[@pauldee1577]

Risettes are by definition a cross between beer and wine. They are fascinating. As a geography nerd, I would have been giddy at the opportunity to try a beer from NL.

[@LucasParrish-y4w]

Mad Matt "Angels" Wiggins! He got a beard now!

[@electra310]

Kathleen’s progression of muppet-faces as she tastes various beers is giving me life.

[@CmdrUD87]

I love how small the glasses are (for obvious reasons). Also, please take Wheeler with you next year, just so he can pronounce the Oktoberfest-beers.

[@jedfromyourlocallibrary]

French toast beer… that’s magic 😂

[@Circular_Square]

I don't even like beer but watching someone enjoy and critique beer is interesting

[@empath69]

Yeah, same - I'm never going to partake of any of these, but it's just cool to watch actual *enthusiasts* talk earnestly and sagaciously about the things they like. Also - props Graham, tipsy enough to not-deliberately-mispronounce "Newfoundland" for once? ;)

[@paultuck]

I don't drink, so your Beerfest videos are my favourite way of consuming alcohol.

[@bergec0]

Hearing that there were meads there prompts me to ask, was anyone serving cider?

[@sleepy_alice]

Graham, thank you for your comment at 18:30. So many people just gloss over that shit.

[@kdevine7800]

Matt Wiggins finally looks his age... Time comes for us all.

[@rac3rx]

the raspberry tastes like raspberry... the strawberry tastes like strawberry... ... ...the snozberry tastes like snozberry
