It's a New Year. Let's have a heart-to-heart.

[@DarwinsBeerReviews]

I appreciate the depth of your talk. I have a hard time putting to words my support for you in this comment. All my best wishes are for you. I look forward to hanging out with you more this year and hopefully seeing you at EBF. Cheers!

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+Darwin's Beer Reviews Hey Darwin. Just getting back to responding to the rest of these comments. Your kindness and thoughtfulness towards me has meant a lot to me since we started talking. I really appreciate the support from you and no need to try to put the words down for me. I know man, it is tough. I don't think I'd be able to put myself on camera like this if I had not gone through everything like I have. It just turns you into a different, stronger person ultimately. I find myself being able to do things/say things I never thought I could. Your consistent positivity and reviews help motivate me to continue this wonderful thing we have going on here. Looking forward to seeing you this week!!!! And collaborating this year. Greatness ahead.

[@crit0022]

Hang in there, man. Love following your reviews! Your honesty and openness on camera is inspirational! Cheers!

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+crit0022 Thank you very much for your support and your kind words. It makes me very happy to hear that you enjoy my reviews but more importantly appreciate my openness as I hope that it may help others who go through difficult times. It's you guys who inspire me to keep on going! This community is full of love and kindness. Cheers!!!

[@TheMasterOfHoppets]

Glad to hear you are in a better place my friend, what you have gone through, I simply can't imagine how horrible it was. And yeah, no need to apologize, if you needed time off, you take it, its your channel. As for the community thing, you pretty much hit the nail on the head. The community is what makes the beer reviewing so great, its so awesome to hear peoples thoughts and ideas, and also chatting in the comments, on facebook or wherever. I have gotten a lot of new friends from doing these reviews, that I would never have met if I hadn't started. As for the reviewing, yeah it does take up a lot of time, I am lucky to have that time as a student, but once I am done and get a job, I don't think I will post as insanely frequently as I do now. It takes a lot of time to edit and shoot etc, my videos often come out like 15 min long, and I often try to cut them down to like 5-6 mins, and it does take time. But I enjoy editing, making thumbnails, shooting reviews etc, I guess is kind of my way of winding back, its pretty "chill" if you can say that haha. Looking forward to seeing more from you in 2016 Nick, and look forward to seeing you try some great EU beer once I get the last beers for ya'. Its really cool to see Americans take on what we make here, as is the other way around. Cheers my man and here's to a great 2016!!

[@piotrg.987]

+The Master of Hoppets yup, that is most awesome in craft beer. It's really building society around it, people are talking, exchanging views, trying to understand each other. You are going to pub, meeting strangers, start talking about beer and later about everything.

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+The Master of Hoppets Hey buddy!!! Really fantastic comment and loved hearing your own insight/feelings on the reviews yourself and how the beer community has influenced and affected you. It is surely a special place for folks like us to all get together and share our passion for beer. I love that it goes beyond beer and we can support each other like this through difficult times. I'm really looking forward to getting a strong rhythm going for my channel this year. It has taken me a while to sort of figure out exactly how I want things to be on here, but I think I am finally comfortable with how things are...and excited to share with you guys some really fun stuff in 2016. I am especially excited to do an unboxing video for what you end up sending me, and sharing some of those reviews with everyone from a beer tuber I have looked up to for a long time!!! You are one of the main reasons I got into doing these beer reviews on KZbin man, so it really is amazing to see it all come around full circle now. Cheers my friend.

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+Piotr G. Very well said man. It is amazing where craft beer can take people once they get to talking!!!

[@NathanRyerson]

Glad to hear you are doing better. I can't imagine everything you've gone through. I will say that I've missed your videos. They inspired me to put out a higher quality product and seek out amazing beers. I hope we get to see some reviews soon! This community is great and I'm glad to be a small part of it with you. Cheers!

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+Nathan Ryerson Hey brother. Coming back around to finish replying to these comments I missed. Sorry for the delay. What you said here meant a lot to me. So cool that I provided some inspiration for you and your own reviews. That is super humbling. Your quality is superb, for sure. And of course the beers you pick to review are top notch as well. That's exactly what we need more of in the community. Keep it up dude. Your channel is growing fast. I really hope I can get the ball rolling on putting up more epic beers more regularly. Excited to see what unfolds this year. Thanks for your honest care and support and a huge cheers to you buddy.

[@swedcraft3743]

Can't imagine what you've been through, you are stronger than you think. So deep and straight from the heart. All the best to you !

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+Swed craft I really appreciate you saying that...thank you very much. All I can do is be as open and honest with all of you as possible, because everything I have been through is so real and deserves to be talked about and shared. Maybe it will help someone else who watches my channel when they are going through tough times someday. Thanks again for your care and support. Cheers!

[@p8ntballah21]

Glad that you're back Nick. It's a great community that you are an integral part of. Cheers!

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+p8ntballah21 Thanks so much. I'm really glad to be back also. It is a wonderful community of caring, intelligent, like-minded individuals which I am grateful for. Thanks again for the support and cheers!

[@Dcalzaretta]

I don't really believe in divine intervention, but it has been a gift to me that I have found you and your channel. It is hard for me to describe how hard it has been for me since I lost my mom. She was an anchor. But she also gave me the ability to make my own way in the world, and for that I shall be forever grateful. Whenever I open a beer or tap my own keg of homebrew, I think about her and her passion for life. And that not only helps me, but has made ME a better parent to my own kids. In short, I would like to thank YOU not only for your reviews (they are a treat to watch!), but mostly for the way you have shared your emotions with all of us. Thanks, bro. I am planning a trip out east and would love to share a beer. Keep up the great work.

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+Dan Calzaretta Hey Dan. Nice to meet you. Wow. What an absolutely wonderful comment. Thank you so very much, sincerely. Thank you for being open with me, and sharing your thoughts, and personal experiences as well. I feel like what I have gone through/going through is making me a better, stronger person every day. Again, thanks for your support. It is people like you who motivate me to keep doing what I'm doing on here...and makes me remember I'm not alone. Please let me know when you head out this way, and we can hopefully grab a beer together. Cheers Dan.

[@TheKraj5725]

Good to have you back... Always need to take care of you and yours especially before beer.. cheers man and keep your head up!

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+Brian Krajack Hey Brian. Great to be back for sure. Yes sir...sometimes it helps to take a step back and make sure your priorities are in order which is exactly what I needed to do. It worked and I'm moving forward in a good direction. Cheers pal. Nice to hear from you!

[@saltydog6241]

Sorry you had such a rough time last year, and for the loss of your mother. I hope you have a great 2016. Thanks for the content.

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+Salty Dog Hey there. Thank you very much for the comment and support. It is very meaningful to me. Glad you found my channel. Cheers to you.

[@txjacket6]

Glad to hear you're doing better! We're excited that you're back. Keep up the great reviews man!

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+txjacket6 Thank you so much. I'm really excited to be back as well. I have a lot of enthusiasm for this year and sharing many more wonderful beers with you guys. I really appreciate the support. CHEERS!

[@mittenstatebeerreviews1313]

Hey man, just came across your channel and must say I'm truly moved by your willingness to share what you've been through, and truly implement a human element into the content your create. Your a genuine person thats creating some quality beer tube content. Just subscribed and I'm looking forward to watching what you continue to contribute to this community. Cheers from the mitten state my friend, all the best you ya!

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+Mitten State Beer Reviews Hey there man. Wow. What a really wonderful comment to receive. Seriously. That really meant alot to me. Glad you found my channel! All I can really say in response to you right now is...thank you!!! I'm really glad that you understand what i'm all about and appreciate your support. That was a very well written, thoughtful comment. Glad to have you on board! I'll have to check out your channel now. Cheers!!!

[@jsenigaglia]

You're only 30?! You're a baby! Welcome back, my bro. Good to see you again!

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+Joe Senigaglia Thanks brother. You know I have lots of respect for ya. You're like another big bro for me out there in SoCal. My own real big bro flew here from Long Beach just to make it to my party this weekend. Epic!!! Made it to 30 now...feels the same but the number game is startling!!! Cheers brother.

[@BearBeerReviews]

Welcome back dude! Its really great to hear you feel like you're in a better place, I can empathize with how difficult depression can be to conquer. Its great that you reach out to us, your subscribers, who enjoy your content and watch with glee. You bring us a lot of happiness, and I am glad to hear that we do to you too. Keep up the good work, and if you ever need a hand, feel free to ask. If you ever come to the UK, make sure you look me up! Bear

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+BearBeerReviews Hey there Bear. What an awesome, supportive, caring comment from you!!! Thank you sir, this made me smile. Very well written, and genuine. It is so nice to hear from viewers like you who I don't get to talk to much, but to find out how much they care. It's so nice to know that what I am doing on here brings some form of joy and happiness to others...and you guys give that back to me 100%. I will be sure to keep up what I'm doing...and always trying to make it the best that I can on this channel. I still haven't been "across the pond", but when I do I will remember to look you up man. That would awesome to grab a pint!!! Cheers Bear.

[@stevelicht8593]

Welcome back, you definitely have my support.

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+Steve Licht Thanks a lot Steve...it is very much appreciated buddy. Cheers!

[@Originalredman36]

Welcome back! Glad to hear you are in a better place. Best wishes and let me know if you need anything. I know we've talked about it, but I need to send you some tasty barley pops from Nebraska. Cheers

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+Originalredman36 Hey man! Awesome to hear from you. You have been one of my biggest supporters along the way, and I just want to say thank you and tell you I appreciate it very much. YES, we certainly do need to setup a trade sometime in the near future. I would love to try what is brewing out there in Nebraska! I'll have to send you some hazy hop juice from here. Cheers man!

[@musikjunky311]

Awesome to have you back, good sir! You are and will always be one of my favorites on here. Of course I would love more content, but knowing that you are only working at the best of the best for us is more comforting than you know. I look forward to your move away from hoppy beers! I love seeing the latest from Tree House, but sometimes I do get a little bit tired of hearing relatively similar tasting notes / "well, looks like another 100," but I guess TH usually earns their high marks. I hope you continue to do the little one off's that TH does, I think it is Brandon??? who makes those little small batch growler only beers? I feel like that is one thing I particularly love because no one else really goes for the cool styles he is pumping out of that place. On another note: I am happy that you are doing well. I know that the day-to-day can be all kinds of rough on each and every one of us. Keep your head up, stay strong, all of that, but in reality keep following what is making you happy. You can't look back and be disappointed if you followed your joy. Another another note: Will we ever see that cool Vermont beer trip video you were editing? If not, totally understandable! If yeah, consider me the cheer squad as you run toward the finish line! Keep up the awesome work, Nick! Cheers to 2016 (THE YEAR OF MALT, WHAHAHAA) Z

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+Zachary Isom Hey Zach. Finally coming back around to responding to any comments I missed before. Yours was a great one, and I wanted to make sure I didn't skip over it! I am honored that I am one of your favorites to watch on here. Thanks buddy, means a lot. Yes, I am absolutely serious and committed to alternate my hoppy reviews with other styles, every time. I want to make sure no matter what I am putting up is the absolute most exciting/best beer that I think the viewers will want to see. The limited content is a little frustrating, I know...but I have finally settled into the format/style of my channel that is 100% me...and that is original. Moving forward this year I hope to get 1-2 reviews up per week...but at least 1. I am already behind because of my b-day happening and other important life things...but I will be on track VERY soon. I completely understand and agree with what you said about the TH beers. It is true that everything I review from them is just THAT good...but it has begun to get repetitive even to me...which is also why I want to alternate the types of beer I post...so that it keeps things fresh. I will also tell you that I will continue to post TH reviews that are much smaller batch AKA Brendan beers. They are super difficult to get since they come and go so quickly, but when I am able to I will surely post them. Lastly, thank you for the positive, supportive comment regarding the time I am going through in my life right now. It's folks like you who honestly make me so happy and motivated to be on here. I have the best supporters I could ask for as a beer reviewer on KZbin. It is truly incredible and humbling. The Vermont documentary is def still on the agenda man, so no worries. Hopefully I will have another update for everyone on that in the coming months. I am excited to follow through with that, to some extent and release it. It would be pretty awesome to complete. Cheers Zach.

[@josephralls]

Hang in there man!! Glad to have you back

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+josephralls Hey Joseph. Great to be back man. Thanks a lot for your encouragement and support. Cheers!

[@TacticalTupperware]

[@beardown2489]

Welcome back man Glad to see you are alive and well You don't own anyone an apology. It's your channel, do it the best way you know how. Cheers

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+beardown2489 Hey man, I know we already touched base on Facebook, but just making sure I still respond to all the comments on here. Again, really appreciate the support and kindness. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I've got the best friends/subs I could ask for!!! I'm gonna keep this channel rocking with the best beers/reviews I can. Cheers man.

[@drenouf3271]

Glad to see you are doing better. Knowing the year you had, I was worried that you were going through a dark time. It takes a while for something like that to really hit you. Baby steps, keep moving and it will slowly get better. I wish I was turning 30 again!

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+Dave Renouf Hey Dave. Again, I sincerely appreciate you looking out for me...that was very kind of you. I am grateful and humbled by people like you in this community. I'm definitely moving forward in the most positive direction I can. There's certainly no cheat-sheet or rule book for this in life, so I am just doing my best to navigate my way through and out of it. As you said, baby steps and I do believe it will slowly get better. Cheers man.

[@ksanderlin4]

Thanks for being vulnerable on camera man! Definitely got into craft beer and trading and rare beers for the community as well and it's been awesome! Look forward to your reviews and setting up a trade or two in the future for that trillium and treehouse ha I live in San Diego so I got all the goods :) cheers man

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+ksanderlin4 Hey man. Thanks a lot for your comment and sharing your own experience with me regarding getting into craft beer. It sure is a wonderful place to meet like-minded individuals. I'm really glad you appreciate me being open and expressing myself on camera. It's hard to do, so when I get a warm and welcomed response from you guys it means the world to me. This community is so awesome. I love San Diego, and I make it out there once or twice a year. Only 30 min to Alpine!!! :)

[@ksanderlin4]

+WhatCheersBeerReview let me know when you are out in San Diego! We have a spare bedroom with your name on it :) cheers! Looking forward to more reviews

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+ksanderlin4 Hell yeah! I'll def give you a heads up next time I'm on my next brew tour!!!

[@Tastingnitch]

You're very much loved, man, I'm sorry to hear about your car accident and loss of your mother. That kind of down phase can go on, but we are going to continue to hold you accountable for staying connected to us with the BEST reviews that you put out. The virtual pub of beer geeks is here

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+Tasting Nitch Hey there Nichole. I'm coming back around to finish replying to all these lovely comments, and yours was one of them. I apologize for the delay. Thank you so very much for such a wonderful, positive, caring and supportive comment from one of my favorite beertubers. I know you and I have chatted several times over the past few years now, and it's nice to still have the love and support from someone like you. This beertuber community is so incredible. Even I lose sight of that sometimes. After I put up this video, it was reinforced to me so strongly. I really hope you did end up emailing your Mom after watching this! And I hope that Double IPA hit the spot. I love the name of it too. Cheers to 30 also my friend. I just hit that number on Friday here. I remember our birthdays were super close...so have a wonderful, memorable day with your closest. Cheers pal, keep in touch more! :)

[@Tastingnitch]

[@rubedogg961]

First I would like to say sorry for your lose and I'm happy for you that you are in a better place.You really put in prospective my relationship with my Mom... We have shared craft beer together as we both started this journey together. My next session with my mom will be dedicated to you and the memory of your mom.

[@WhatCheersBeerReview]

+Rubedog G Hey there. Nick here. Thank you for sharing your own story/experience with me. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to hear that my experiences have helped to put into perspective for you the most special and powerful relationship you have with your own mother. That is so awesome to hear that you and her are on the same journey into beer together. It brought my Mom, Dad and I closer together than I ever thought it would, and for that I am forever grateful. Cheers to you and your Mom...and remember to try to always keep that perspective and enjoy life. Cheers!
