  by thebeergeek December 31, 2009
  We finally made it to Australia. After years of talking about it, we made the journey Down Under for Merideth's 40th birthday. We didn't really know what to expect. We knew there was a budding craft beer industry. We had a list of breweries to visit and a few contacts. But that was it. W...

  by thebeergeek August 18, 2009
  “Three Cities, Three Styles” is the latest episode of One Pint at a Time.

• New beergeek.TV Episode - Ales of Wales

  by thebeergeek June 25, 2009
  “Ales of Wales” is the latest episode of One Pint at a Time. We didn’t know what to expect from our journey to Wales. It was only a friend’s off-handed comment that brought us across the Irish Sea in the first place. With a little research, we learned several things about Wales; they have a strange...
