What Happened To George & Bearded And Bored?

[@BeardedBored]

Thanks for putting out this video, brother. I really appreciate it. I am in the editing phase for my latest vid right now, so I should have it up soon. I miss George too, and I think you did a great job clearing the air. I also wouldn't have a channel if it weren't for his trail blazing and encouragement. I'm glad we got the content we do have from him. Also, the list of other channels is a really great resource. Thanks so much!

[@wordingreenville]

I've watched all of George's videos 3 times over. I feel like he is family, and there is something about his delivery that puts me at ease. If you see this, George, thank you. Honestly, thank you from the very bottom of my heart.

[@TehMightyWhale]

Absolutely, without George i would have never gotten into distilling myself. He feels like that cool high school teacher who would motivate you and make you believe in yourself, the kind of people you look back on later in life and just be grateful that you got to go along for the ride for a bit

[@bradleygallant615]

Yep, my thoughts as well. Thanks George.

Watching George was like hanging out with a really cool uncle while he taught you how to distill.

Love George and hope he is happy and well . Learned a lot from him .

[@wojciechjurczyk9927]

yeah without him i wouldn't get in to that. Such a great teacher

[@gedion4000]

my thoughts exactly. he was always my go to when i wanted to learn something because he has probably made a video about it. he genuinly seems like a great guy and i want him to be happy, healthy, and for gods sake i hope it wasnt people in the community giving him a hard time that caused him to step away.

[@jasoncollins4088]

I had direct contact with George's daughter-in-law several months ago and she told me all is well and that George was traveling, relaxing, and taking some "Me time."

[@royhendershot]

Well deserved at that. What a good man.

[@williamfleenor8574]

Well I’m glad to hear George is enjoying retirement, I assume he’s retired, and traveling and getting to take in some beautiful scenery and speed time with his family, he has certainly earned it. Here’s to you George from the distilling community.

He will be missed, but his legacy will live on through you guys bringing the latest content on distilling! 🤙⚗️🌾🥃

[@StillnTheClear]

I hate to think I might not get to see any more videos from George, but I wish him well in whatever he's doing. I've learned so much from you and George and Bearded over the years. The distilling community is by and large a sort of extended family and I love the idea of supporting each other. Thansk for the shout out and the list of other channels. There are a couple of channels on that list I haven't heard of and will definately be checking them out. Have a kick ass week Jesse.

[@stillegal-boganbrewery2924]

He will be missed. But we now have all of you guys to fill the void! Keep it up mate! 🤙⚗️🌾🥃

[@desertriderukverun1002]

Jesse, you are a class act in your tact in providing this information to the community. Bottom line is it takes a tremendous amount of time develop the skills to create, film and especially edit good content. Very few people have both the skills and personal time to pull it off. Those that do, mostly do it because they enjoy the process. And when the cons outweigh the pros, it's time to get back to one's real life. Props to George and B&B for making the required work/life balances they needed. To the haters, they are not worth your thought or breath. They are people that are unwilling and unable to put in time and effort to gain the skills and experience to make valid criticisms of those that have skills and life experiences. If they had gained those skills and experiences, they would appreciate what you share with us. Looking forward to seeing some more B&B content, best wishes to George and am looking forward to the new batch of content producers.

[@markneagle1320]

Couldn’t have said it better myself👍. Many prayers to George and B&B for their decisions. I know it had to be hard ones. Hope to see y’all in the future.

[@brucekrisko4364]

Thankyou Jesse for this update on Bearded and George. I credit the three of you for getting me into distilling. George is the Grand Poobar of the distilling KZbin channels and we all wish him well. We love you George!

[@williamfleenor8574]

I’m a retired engineer, I worked in a weapons lab for the United States Air Force. So I’m close to George’s age, just a few years older, and have similar military background. So that said I really clicked with George’s personality, his physics, chemistry, and engineering approach to distilling. I’m no different than many on here, even now finding out that several of my son’s friends have been watching George, that were it not for George I would not be enjoying the craft of distilling. Being retired and close in age to George I salute him for the work and heart he put into his channel. I wish him all the best, I thank him from the bottom of my heart for what he has given me, I hope someday to meet him, shake his hand, and thank him personally. George I hope you are safe and well and enjoying your retirement with your wife and family. God bless you, thank you for your long military service to this country, and perhaps one day our paths will cross and we can share our war stories. Bill in Mustang Oklahoma

Same here, the insight these gentleman gave us into the craft is what pushed me into making the investment into home distilling. Thanks to these guys I have been able to produce a product that I have enjoyed with friends and family. I’m giving different kinds of distilled spirits away as gifts at Thanksgiving and Christmas and now the birth of another grandchild. I really had fun making and enjoying some George Washington Rye Whiskey. I never knew our First President was such a distiller and I loved making it to his original recipe.

Hi Jesse, thanks for the update. Have been concerned about George and bearded for a while, especiallywith the pandemic. You've put my mind at rest whilst still respecting their privacy. Thanks again.

[@ohravenous1]

George is a wonderful person and I count myself lucky to have had interaction with him. He deserves a break no matter. His material is so in depth and the collection so large you could study for years and years and still miss things. He did that massive collection out of love for his craft and love of us. He is not obligated to interact at all with us but he did and that was also out of his kindness. I miss George as much as anyone and I miss him all the time. I always told George he so reminded me of my grandfather. He was so smart... both men the smartest I ever knew. George was not just a shiner, he was a scientist. He had all the numbers laid out for us. Explained the process in depth. He was an inventor and an innovator, but more than that an artist with a hell of a sense of humor. Toward the end I watched things go on that quite disturbed me. This is not second hand this is I saw with my own eyes. I watched some trolls bully George and it really disturbed me the way individuals act. There were also over the top fans that were being obnoxiously demanding expecting him to be at their beckoned call. He is a gentleman and didn't have a mean or rude bone in his body and put up with a lot of nonsense. Everything you need to know is still up on his channel. Everything you need... all the science and the numbers that are so crucial. I hope he enjoys his peace and solitude in retirement he deserves it. That I suppose is all I have to say. George if you are reading this... THANK YOU for all your years of service to us! One last thing... when trying to weld stainless to copper use the acid based stay clean soldering flux ;)

As for George, I’m so relieved he’s well and enjoying himself. I really enjoy his content and I’ve only gone through a fraction of it so far, so I’ve still got a lot of gems to unearth. To those of us in the community: I feel so grateful that someone like George has graced us with his knowledge, wisdom, experience, know how, and endearing personality. I shudder to think of how many of us would have missed out on this if there was no KZbin or if George had decided not to make videos. He has brought to all of us a priceless treasure trove of knowledge and I hope he knows how much this means to all of us. I would love to see him return, even if it was for just an occasional video, but if this is permanent, perhaps a farewell message from the legend himself. Thanks again Jesse, and thanks for the great channel list.

Thanks for doing this video. I follow Bearded and was wondering why I haven’t seen anything from him lately. As for George, didn’t know about him but will check his site out.

I was wondering why i hadn't seen any vids for a while. Thanks for letting us know. You, bearded, and George are guru's and I've learned a lot from ya'z. So thanks
