The return of the Beer Geek Roundtable and it's a doozy. we talk about all kinds of things which you can find on the wiki. It's 3 hours long, listen as long as it keeps your interest and we will be back next week with a regularly scheduled episode.
Craft Beer Radio is an Internet talk show about craft and micro brewed beers. The mission of the show is to spread the word of good beer. We introduce people to craft beer, and teach them about different beer styles, brewers who make them, and beer history. Whether you are new to craft beer or have been drinking it for more than 20 years we have something for you.

Doozy?
Which definition of "doozy" fits the most, here?
A night filled with excessive drinking to the point that events of the said night are hazy and cannot be completely recalled. There are varying degrees of "doozy", the most common being a night filled with drunken hilarity that for the most part is only recalled by those who did not get too drunk, or partake in the "doozy". A person who has a doozy usually wakes up the next morning wondering where he/she is, often times confused about the events of the night before.

roundtable
hi guys, i'm a very new homebrewer in Chicago who just learned about the show via google reader. the show was very entertaining. you guys covered all of the topics in which i am interested: hop shortage; macros doing "micros"; beer laws; and what are some good craft beers out there. also, kudos for blazing ahead despite technological limitations. i am very fond of this sort of informal/underproduced recording. suggestion: get someone to talk about midwest beers. we're not PA or the nort west, but we do have some good brews to offer. one more: i know i'm new, so forgive me if this has been done, but it would be great to do a show on descriptors. i assume that you all use pretty standard descriptors, as do wine connesuers, but for us newbs, it'd be great to learn the "correct" words to use.
Doozy? I'll have to take your word for it.
Having heard every show from it's inception I am sorry to say this will be the first one I missed. Though I consider CBR essential to my podcast listening, I found this one to be unlistenable. The inconsistent sound quality and input levels ranging from whispering to ear-shattering had me giving up during the first subject. I know other shows (This Week In Tech for example) use the roundtable format using Skype with guests positioned all over the planet and it sounds great. I've also heard numerous more podcasts that find that quality heard to achieve, so I am sure it is incredibly hard to work out and expensive. Therefore I will be sharing part of my tax return by pushing one of those "Donate" buttons to the left and I encourage others who realize the value of this excellent show to do the same.

I have to side with Greg, in that conflict does make for good radio, but sympathise with the view espoused by Jeff and Rick. I couldn't do it either. I say sic Mad Dog Weiss on him, and just sit back and watch the carnage! ;)
I do have to disagree with praising him simply because he imports some good beers. If he didn't do it, somebody else would. Hell, here in a tiny country on the other side of the world there are at least three independent importers bringing in a wide range of obscure Belgian beers, many of which overlap. Now if only they would get us some of the man candy from the USA, I'd be happy!
So yeah, let Dan take his lumps. :) He sounds like an interesting and passionate enough guy, and I'm sure he can stick up for himself.
giving it to the man
What if Dan Shelton doesn't know he's selling bobbins beer? Wouldn't you like to know if your product was sub-standard, so you could improve your product line?
You'd be doing him a service if phrased write.
If you give him the right to reply on the podcast then its more than fair. As it is we are hearing one side of the story.

Enjoyable, but...
I enjoyed much of the content of the roundtable, but it was a painful experience at times. I visibly winced many many times as I sat on the bus listening to this.
I don't know if this is possible with the software you're using, but it would be nice if the number of people "holding the mic" at one time could be limited.
Say Ale-X is talking and Rick thinks of something useful to add. He'd press his "I want to talk" button. Alex would see that Rick wants to say something, and he'd wrap up what he's saying and release his button. Meanwhile, someone else has pushed their button, but since Rick was in the queue first, the mic token goes to him. Probably the hosts should get super-user status, able to interrupt anybody.
It seems to me that something like this would be much more enjoyable to listen to, but I'd still plan to listen to the next one you do regardless.
