It wasnt a matter ofifbutwhenGearJunkie would lean into the hard, thankless work of tasting all manner of craft beer from around the continent. BeerJunkie has long been whispered of among staff. It was a hope and possibility —a dream. But there was always something missing.
It turns out that something was an outsider. We needed someone not from within the hardcore world of gear and product reviews but someone whose perspective matched the everyman, the common craft brewery visitor. Someone who was kind of a celebrity but also … affordable.
Hailing from the world of sports broadcasting and journalism — with CBS Sports, ESPN, and The Dan Patrick Show — Paul Pabst walks the line between consummate professional and painted-face, cheap-seat tailgater. He is the BeerJunkie.
Each week, Pabst will taste the flagship brew from a craft beer maker based somewhere in North America. This isnt a Masterclass from a cicerone; its honest plain-speak about damn good beer. And youll get a primer on the brewery itself —how to visit, what to do, and more.
So get your coolers ready. BeerJunkie is on the air! Check out Episode one: Whalers Brewing now.
