Not a beer fan, but I've discovered I _am_ the kind of person who will watch anything you put up. (I did share this with my boyfriend's dad, who just retired from teaching brewing history.) Also, nice haircut.
Not positive but it looks like Graham might have grazed her as he past by. Still, at a beer fest one should expect the odd bump (depending on how long the event has been running at that point). Fine motor skills be damned!

out here in colorado we have an annual beer festivel called the great american beerfest which back in 2014 had roughly 700 breweries in attendence and is one of the largest beer festivals in the states
Eh, I find I prefer mixed drinks anyway. Of course, it's easy to prefer "does not make me throw up" to "makes me throw up," so I can't exactly speak from the position of a perceptive palate.
If you're in the UK in May next year I recommend the Cambridge Beer Festival. It was 200+ different beers (ales) this year, as well as ciders, perries, meads and fancy lagers and it lasts a week. (p.s I thought it was pronounced go-zz )
In fairness to ICBC, I've attended a Beerfest-type event as a Designated Driver. the DD bracelets had the same writing, but were a different base color. As for why I attended, none of my friends trusted themselves to not fall asleep on the bus, and (much to my brother-in-law's chagrin) I can't tolerate the taste of beers, so there was zero risk of me being tempted after 6 hours on my feet with nothing to drink but chilled water.
Yesss join us with the sours! But seriously Strange Fellows is perhaps my favourite brewery of all time. The Bridge Brewing blood orange and bourbon is disappointing for me because it's neither blood orange or bourbon enough
I almost went to beerfest since we were in Victoria this weekend. Would have loved to run into you guys. Decided to go down to Chinatown and eat at Jam instead. Looks like I missed out on drunk Graham. 👍😏
It was almost to the point that each beer was better than the last, as the drinking continued.. but then there was that cucumber one. Anyway, looked like a good time.
As someone who doesn't drink beer of alcohol in general, this was cool to watch and makes me want to try small sips of various beers to learn how to appreciate beer
Ok, rant time: Berliner Weiße is NOT 'traditionally' flavored with syrup. Traditionally it was flavored by dumping fruit in the barrel whil it was ins storage. However, proper traditional Weiße has been lost. Why? Because it was a sour beer which relied on a combination of yeast and a special strain of lactic acid bacteria, however what the brewers didn't know was that these bacteria lived in the wood barrels which were used for storage. So when the brewery changed from wooden to steel barrels they were suddently confronted with the fact, that their new beer was sh!t. Unfortunately by the point they realised what they had done it was to late and they had already trashed all the old barrels. And this is where the syrup-thing comes from, since the idea was that if you dump a bunch of syrup in the beer, people will not notice that its actually crap. - rant over
What's the problem with having thrown away the barrels? You can literally just buy Pediococcus and Lactobacillus cultures. Especially nowadays, it's common for making Lambic style beers. (See eg.: Wyeast 5733, Wyeast 5335) Or do you mean that the original Berliner Weiße had some different sort of mystery lactic acid bacteria strain?
I feel like when Graham says "that is fascinating" is like when I say food or drink is "interesting". That is to say "I'm not into it but it is a thing i can see someone else liking."
Also if Unibroue had their Maudite there I would have happily just had it and not cared that they didn't do anything different. Then again I can't get it around where I am and I love Abbey style / Trappist ales.
I also don't like sours, but this year at beer fest I think they figured it out. My fave of the day was Strathcona Mango lemon, it tasted like a beer mimosa
![Bullets & Buffets [GP Vegas Day 5]](/img/n.gif)
It's extra funny to watch the "Let's go to Barkerville... not actual Barkerville" part after Road Quest
'I've had, I don't want to count how many I've had.'
Ok, Graham channelling Jonny right there.
Graham, you should get a LoadingReadyRun growler produced, and sell it as the GrowLRR.
+ericdhubbard 😮😮😮 we SHOULD
ericdhubbard fantastic idea!
I'd buy one!
ericdhubbard I think you just started something here. Be on the lookout for it. How Graham replied to it showed major interest.
Most Canadian beer coverage ever.
"This is nice. Oh that's nice. This one's really nice."
That was great. The beer count showed in the voice, but not in the footage quality. :)
Autofocus and HDR for the win
Not a beer fan, but I've discovered I _am_ the kind of person who will watch anything you put up. (I did share this with my boyfriend's dad, who just retired from teaching brewing history.) Also, nice haircut.
'Ooh, thats nice' should be Graham's catchphrase.
"It's really nice."
I'm a huge fan of the fact that drunk Graham is just Dave's Spokesman.
So.. does Matt not age or do you just un-freeze him every time you want to include him in a vlog.
14:09 THE FORESHADOWING.
14:18 I mean, "We got distracted on the way to Barkerville" is just a good summary of the first few RQ episodes, innit
0:50 DAT GLARE THO
That's the kind of look you give when you unexpectedly spot a cheating ex across the room.
Wait! is that her walking in on her ex at 22:40
That's some grade A+ side eye.
Not positive but it looks like Graham might have grazed her as he past by. Still, at a beer fest one should expect the odd bump (depending on how long the event has been running at that point). Fine motor skills be damned!

"Godspeed Bear-Man!" I laughed.
Also 21:20. Found him.
Is it strange that drunk Graham is only marginally sillier than normal Graham?
Well, we do usually see him in comedy mode...
True...
Now, Normal Graham doing Drunk Adam Jensen, on the other hand...
The effects start being noticeable about min 7 1/2. i shall keep watching to find out how drunk he gets lol
Noticeably exaggerated mannerisms by 14 min lol
Tipsy Graham, plus camera angle gave me some brief flashes of Sir Digby Chicken Caesar.
I thought exactly the same thing!
out here in colorado we have an annual beer festivel called the great american beerfest which back in 2014 had roughly 700 breweries in attendence and is one of the largest beer festivals in the states
Great to see you all having so much fun! Kudos on managing consistent vlog coverage throughout the day, while sampling the delicious beers
Coming back 3 years later and this was the video that made me branch out and fall in love with sours. Thank you Graham!
0:51 - such angry
Amazing! How does Matt look younger since we last saw him??
Raspberry Changeling
Artifact - Beer Changeling
(This beer is all beer types)
It would have the ability Changeling. Changeling is not a subtype.
Shapeshifter sub-type. Boom. Solved.
"Alright, last beer of the day" smash cut to another beer.
21:16 I FOUND WALDO!
Been watching for well over a decade now...I don't remember ever seeing a drunk Graham before. It was quite entertaining.
14:08 foreshadowing for Roadquest
Phrase of the day...'Ohhhh that's goooood!' ;) Looks like your all had fun Sir. Nice video made me smile on a grey, bad news day! Thanks
Starting to sound like Drunk Jensen around 17:30
Wiggins sightings!
The only person to make 25 minutes of "that's nice!" Really entertaining. Thanks for another vlog, Graham!
I like how they tell us how awesome the brewery hats are and then completely neglect to show us any!
Oh man Graham, sounded like you were feeling it at the end there. Cheers!
The quality of this video improved in direct correlation with the amount of beer consumed. A++. Also, Godspeed, Bear-man.
I don't drink beer. But I could listen to Graham read the goddamn phone book and I'd still be entertained.
I'm allergic to beer, why am I even watching this?
Oh. Tipsy Graham. Right.
I am so sorry for your delibating disability through life, and hope you still find happiness at the bottom of a mead bottle.
Eh, I find I prefer mixed drinks anyway. Of course, it's easy to prefer "does not make me throw up" to "makes me throw up," so I can't exactly speak from the position of a perceptive palate.
That was a very fun watch. Hope you do it again
This was a really nice video. It's really nice.
I thoroughly enjoyed the...progression to a joyous afternoon at Beerfest :D
Really enjoy the vlogs, Graham :D
Graham and James have now been to real Barkerville. Would Jimmy like the beer?
Watching in 2020 after watching Road Quest: you know what else they have in Squamish? You guys for like a couple hours lol
I can hear the drunk.
Bearman is not the hero Victoria needs, but the hero Victoria deserves.
Rain+drinking+sharing drinks. I'm pretty sure all of Victoria will have a cold by the end of the week.
Add the beer list to the info!
This was amazing, you should do beer fest again next year!
First few beers.. "citrus/smokey/sour".... Seven beers in... "oooh that's nice"... "ooh that's nice"... "oooh that's nice" 😂 😂 😂 love it Graham!
I guess growler means something else in Canada lol.
growler = half-gallon container as far as i know. aside from the nice design, that looks like every growler i've ever bought.
If you're in the UK in May next year I recommend the Cambridge Beer Festival. It was 200+ different beers (ales) this year, as well as ciders, perries, meads and fancy lagers and it lasts a week.
(p.s I thought it was pronounced go-zz )
Next time try Trou du Diable. It's one of my favorite brewery in Québec. Really love their shawinigan handshake.
"It's the summer beer of me". Lol
I think this was my 10th year going, GCBF is always a blast! Cool video.
17:05 That look of shock, to that cutaway. That's a good bit.
Ok, new business venture for LRR: let us pay you to come to Victoria and go to breweries with you. Cards Against Humanity for a bonus fee.
I made a mistake watching this at 7am- and i want to find out what's going on with Canadian sours now, cheers G.
Albertan here. We also have an amazing local brewery scene. We have SO many good sours and saisons. It's mad.
oo good to know. when i eventually take a trip through north america will keep that in mind as a stop, thanks =D
Gotta say, as someone who doesn't drink at all, this was still VERY enjoyable to watch, keep it up! :D
Holy crap, Backroads is from where I'm from! The brewmaster there is the former brewmaster of Nelson Brewing Company, another excellent brewery.
In fairness to ICBC, I've attended a Beerfest-type event as a Designated Driver. the DD bracelets had the same writing, but were a different base color.
As for why I attended, none of my friends trusted themselves to not fall asleep on the bus, and (much to my brother-in-law's chagrin) I can't tolerate the taste of beers, so there was zero risk of me being tempted after 6 hours on my feet with nothing to drink but chilled water.
Yesss join us with the sours! But seriously Strange Fellows is perhaps my favourite brewery of all time. The Bridge Brewing blood orange and bourbon is disappointing for me because it's neither blood orange or bourbon enough
jeez, graham is like my beer-twin, preference wise
"Godspeed, Bearman".
I thought I recognized that "growler" from Dice Friends. Just so happens that I'm rewatching these and there it is.
Watching Graham's ability to keep the camera steady progressively get worse is just hilarious.
This seemed like quite a good day
I almost went to beerfest since we were in Victoria this weekend. Would have loved to run into you guys. Decided to go down to Chinatown and eat at Jam instead. Looks like I missed out on drunk Graham. 👍😏
Wheel house I believe is from Prince Rupert BC.
It was almost to the point that each beer was better than the last, as the drinking continued.. but then there was that cucumber one. Anyway, looked like a good time.
I was going to say. The beer got suspiciously better, the more that had been consumed.
As someone who doesn't drink beer of alcohol in general, this was cool to watch and makes me want to try small sips of various beers to learn how to appreciate beer
Have to agree on the sour beers. Had the Cran-Gose from Devil's Backbone this weekend and loved it.
Matt has returned! Now he can tell me how to make budget mtg angel decks
Its nice to see Matt on camera again
Ok, now I want a Drunk Graham game stream. I don't care what he plays, I just want to see more of happy drunk Graham.
Oh my gosh we haven't seen matt in forever!!!
I've also recently discovered a love of sour beers
I'm way too amused by drunk graham.
8:07 I was 1000% expecting Graham to say "...this hat."
There may be better sources for brews...
I'm also a fan of sours, and have recently got the same glasses as Graham, basically the same person.
Ok, rant time:
Berliner Weiße is NOT 'traditionally' flavored with syrup. Traditionally it was flavored by dumping fruit in the barrel whil it was ins storage. However, proper traditional Weiße has been lost. Why? Because it was a sour beer which relied on a combination of yeast and a special strain of lactic acid bacteria, however what the brewers didn't know was that these bacteria lived in the wood barrels which were used for storage.

17:25 is when they sit down and finally let the drunk materialize
I feel like when Graham says "that is fascinating" is like when I say food or drink is "interesting". That is to say "I'm not into it but it is a thing i can see someone else liking."
Also if Unibroue had their Maudite there I would have happily just had it and not cared that they didn't do anything different. Then again I can't get it around where I am and I love Abbey style / Trappist ales.
Take a drink every time they say nice. Then call an ambulance.
Watching graham's face get progressively redder, is quite fun. Also I miss matt.
God speed bear man.
First shirt from the GVlog?
I also don't like sours, but this year at beer fest I think they figured it out. My fave of the day was Strathcona Mango lemon, it tasted like a beer mimosa
I will admit, when I started working at a brewery, I found my palate agreeable to sours. I now love me sours.
I'm from cologne, the city where Kölsch is from. In Germany it's forbidden to call your beer Kölsch if it hasn't been brewed in the city of cologne
James is here even though he was in the Assorted Anyonymous and The Couch videos....Are we trying to kill him? He JUST got clean!
If you go to a massive beer tasting and don't end up at least with a REALLY good buzz on, you're doing something wrong.
Oh man, they have that Grisette canned over in SK. It goes down real good when it's cold
Drunk Graham is best Graham.
A Cavalcade of Nice Beers.
It has been said before, but I'll say it again. Drunk Graham is the best Graham. Drunk Matt is best too. James seemed quite sober, actually.
I love this video. Drunk Wiggins is best Wiggins.
Hey! It's Matt! And he's like, being happy!
I don't drink beer so I have no idea what they're talking about, but they're still great entertainment.
I love how much shorter Matt is than Graham and James
It is probably my imagination, but I think I ran the 50m track and field event at that park when I was a kid.
As someone who doesn't like beer that much, I kinda want to go to the Oktoberfest/Beerfest in my college town now
Sours grew on me. They're like the beer version of white wine.
Next stop? Beer fests here in Milwaukee. AHEM.
Drunk Graham is pretty funny.
