A must for homebrewers and craft beer lovers

I was shocked when I saw that I have never rated the show. James, and when he is on, Steve, are incredible hosts, with such a profound knowledge of homebrewing and the industry.James is a consummate professional, asks amazing questions of guests, and the font of knowledge, such an incredible asset to the brewing community. I have listened and watched them for so many years that I feel they are a part of my life. The humanity, sense of humor, and passion with which this podcast is presented make it a must listen for any serious brew lover.
