Beer Nutz???
Contributed by Angry Guy
Just caught a show called "Beer Nutz" on American High Definition Cable Television.
The show is two guys wandering around a different city each week, visiting brew pubs and asking stupid questions.
The episode I watched took place in San Francisco. At one point they visit a restaurant called the 21st Amendment, which was named after the Amendment to the United States Constitution which ended prohibition. On Beer Nutz they flash an info screen which reads:
1936 - The Prohibition of intoxicating liquors is hereby repealed.
The problem is that the 21st amendment was passed in 1933, not 1936.
I can understand someone misspeaking a date, but when you are making a show and providing information which was hopefully researched, and you go as far as to create a graphic, at least get the goddamn dates right.
They also get a chance to talk with the legendary Fritz Maytag of Anchor Brewing - but spend less than 5 minutes of show time with him. And that is the longest they spend on any segment - 9 segments over the course of a 30 minute show (including commercials) - how can you learn anything?
The show is uninteresting and the hosts don't seem to know a damn thing about beer.
The worst part of the show (besides the hosts) is the "rating system" which they use to give people and places from 1 to 5 "kegs". (Fritz got 5 Kegs)
Crap which must be avoided. I give this show 5 "It Sucks".
