Want a part 2 to this! Loved watching it for a second time :)

[@Theblackchromatic]

Best beer doc of all time

[@willw1375]

As a native of New England (Maine, VT, CT) I'm glad you guys got to enjoy the history and beauty of our little corner of the world!!!

[@chrisgeo1642]

I am absolutely floored by how well this documentary was made, really well done something I would expect to see on a premium network. As a resident of New England and having spent most of my life here I have been to many of the breweries and tap rooms you visited but never really knew their stories and watching this has me planning a summer beer tour to revisit my favorites and discover new favorites. As a home brewer I truly appreciate the craftsmanship and dedication the local breweries put into every can, bottle and pint but as a beer lover I love the experience and atmosphere of the locations. Allagash white is probably the beer that first made me want to brew. I was on vacation and visiting friends at the same time a couple from Maine were visiting and they both worked at allagash sitting by the fireside drinking the white and hearing them talk about the process is what inspired me to start brewing, so happy to see them featured here and heady topper is just a source of local pride for new Englanders. Thank you for making this documentary and re introducing me to the places in my backyard. Cheers

[@shanelawrence8356]

This was an excellent production. As a New Englander, I have been to all of these breweries in this documentary. I love their beer but had no idea on their efforts to reduce waste and our carbon footprint. Thank you for capturing this. Looking forward to watching another production of yours. When you come back to New England, hit Connecticut. We have some amazing breweries, New Park, Counter Weight, Fox Farm and many more.

[@theproceedings4050]

Don't forget Back East Brewing too.

[@frankfermino9121]

Matt at Counterweight and Rob at NEBCO are some of the best people!!

[@nikhilkela04]

Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to do this. We, in India are now where the craft brewing scene and breweries were 20-25 years ago. I had the opportunity to visit Maine and MA and try out some fantastic beers (including a stop at Allagash) . There's a goodbit to learn here and I truly enjoyed watching this.

[@WWJPD]

The karaoke was lit. And those cubes and waste “water” from Alchemist... just brilliant.

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

John Kimmich is the man!

[@franciscouch8378]

I've watched this about 20 times.

[@thetommyandbobbyshow]

NEW ENGLAND BABY!!! Wicked video! Keep em coming!! We should have you on our NEW ENGLAND show one of these days!

[@nomadchad5733]

Just found out my best friend in the world has cancer so I’ve come to have a beer and watch this for about the 6th time, it’s helping. Thanks brothers 👊

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

Chad I am glad this helps and so sorry to hear the news. All the best to you and your friend - we will raise a glass to his recovery.

[@bryancurtis3703]

What I really liked about this was you let the brewers talk. And you were excellent listeners. And I speak as someone who is a subscriber (in Hong Kong) and normally I'm here to hear YOU guys speak, to share your expertise. But as a journalist, sometimes (most times) it's best to let the players say their piece. And you guys shined with that over an hour plus. And it was because the brewers had a great story to tell.

[@johnoberto2659]

Glad you had fun visiting my home, New England. Come back soon. Allagash is my favorite brewery

[@douglashesselmans9970]

WoW, what a nice documentary! Thnx for taking me 'with you' on a journey.

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

Thanks so much! John is an inspiration

[@frankfermino9121]

BRAVO! BRAVO! Im not sure how/why it took me so long to find/watch this, but so glad I did. To see you visiting places in my backyard, with people I actually know (Carla Jean and Chris Lohring), experiencing the queue/standing in line (which I dont do), and the New England perspective. Great work. Hope you come back again sometime. I just had to leave a comment. Cheers!

[@Jaggedknife11]

I went to a small college near hill farmstead. expensive beer for a college student but would make occasional trips. the first time i had the the Everett porter i was blown away. Amazing balance of sweet, chocolaty, coffee/toffee flavors balanced by a subtle grassiness.

[@helloeverybody9675]

Wow! What a journey. I felt like i was watching Michelangelo or Bach or Renoir speaking. The passion, and the opinions, were intense. John was my favorite. It almost felt like a lecture from a professor

[@gerrylangston9514]

Fantastic fantastic brewery journal! Thanks!!

[@zabuzamomochi2323]

I really had to chuckle when you were talking to the guy from Notch. He said that New England IPAs are what everyone does, and it is refreshing to have a Czech-/German-style Lager. This is the polar opposite of what I am used to. I grew up drinking Helles and Märzen on the Austrian countryside, it is what I am used to and have been drinking for my whole life. A few weeks ago I tried my first New England IPA after watching some of your videos, I was as excited as a young puppy and blown away by the aroma and flavor and juiciness I never thought was possible in beer. I cannot imagine growing tired of something so exciting and perceiving good old lager as something new and fascinating. This showed me that the place where you grow up strongly influences your views on beer and what is exciting and what is normal to you.

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

Ha indeed! lots of Americans would say they can't imagine getting bored of great pils!

[@zabuzamomochi2323]

@@TheCraftBeerChannel And also British bitter is something very exciting for me, I believe I've had only two different ones so far (London Pride and Thornbridge Lord Marples)

Stunning. That was cinematic visual gorgeousness at its best. And years later you're both still making high quality content. Love 'n beer!

[@BigFreak52]

I had fallen out of my love for craft beer but after watching this doc, Im back on the wagon.. the attention to detail from these brewers is seriously impressive. It really is a labor of love in every can. Also, great job showcasing the beauty of New England

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

This is so great to here! I think we all get a bit jaded about beer every now and then, and a great story or amazing beer reels us back in.

[@petermorgan1527]

How am I only watching the second half now?! Damn Jonny killed it on the karaoke! What a voice!! 😂 fucking great documentary guys I love it (yes I know Im late on this train)

Great video! Living in Massachusetts, I’ve always wanted to visit Notch but never got around to it. I will have to make a point to do so as well as visit the other great breweries in New England. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@kevinlawrence9709]

Glad I finally took the time to watch this masterpiece after checking out many of your videos. Really quality work. Entertaining, informative, and just passionate people talking about what they love to do. So, when are you coming to the West coast Portland? No shortage of fine breweries here. Cheers!

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

Thanks so much Kevin! We really want to come to the west coast again, especially portland. Will have to see how COVID goes...

[@harleyadam4813]

And I think I can definitively say, having lived in northern New England for 46 years and having visited places like Texas, Florida, Wisconsin, Tennessee, the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Canada.....New England is the best place in the world to live. The culture. The seasons. The landscape. The food. The beer. I've never found anything to equal it as an overall experience. I may move away someday, but my heart will always be here.

[@harleyadam4813]

Oops. 47 years 😆😂🤣

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

We were only there a week and feel like we left a bit of our heart there!

[@harleyadam4813]

@@TheCraftBeerChannel there's nowhere else in the world that compares. Other places might equal it (although I haven't found one yet!!!) but nothing will ever surpass it. I will, however, go on record as saying Southampton England, Sheveningan Netherlands and Kiel Germany were all pretty awesome.

Round of applause to you both on this video. Came across it today and watched it transfixed to the screen. Genuinely one of the best beer documentary-style videos out there on KZbin. America looks so good for beer, especially the area you visited. Look forward to seeing more videos of this calibre soon.

Thanks Jan glad you like it!

[@MarkMazut]

One thing worth mentioning...unless it has changed, the reason for the long lines at Tree House is that the only place to purchase the beer is at the brewery - zero distribution to stores or kegs to bars. This has been their business model from the beginning and it seems to have worked out as they currently have three locations.

[@djrobincooper]

Excellent documentary - we spent some time in Burlington a few years ago and was lucky enough to go to Alchemist (and foam) then and this just makes me want to go back!

What John said is so true. I find that at the moment NE, WC or classic IPA all are starting to taste the same and not in a good way. And the NE IPAs have for sure lost that refreshing feeling. There are still great brewers out there but being in Europe these days they seem to be fading away and being replaced by hazy swill that tastes of nothing. Ether way this video does make me want to get back to the search and revived my interest in beers.
