On the night of December 19, 2004 Owen Ogletree gathered together some beer-loving friends for a party in Athens, Georgia to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the release of the BBC/Discovery Channel Michael Jackson "Beer Hunter" video series.  In attendance were: Owen Ogletree, Kerri Allen, Jean Andrews, Terri Ray, Thel Melton, Gail Graves, Dean Graves, Jeff Rapp, Don Beistle, Diane Beistle, and Martha DeHart.  We watched all six episodes of the series and sampled some of the beers that were mentioned (see list below).  We also took part in a trivia contest that followed each episode (see questions below).  Don Beistle won the trivia contest and was awarded a special, giant bottle of Belgian ale that was graciously donated by Five Points Bottle Shop in Athens, GA.

Check out the list of beers we enjoyed at the viewing and test your knowledge of "Beer Hunter" facts and figures by taking our trivia quiz listed below!


We flew the Union Jack in honor of Mr. Jackson.
BEERS WE TASTED DURING THE VIDEOS:
  • CZECH episode:  Pilsner Urquell.
  • GERMANY episode:  Salvator Doppelbock and Schlenkerla Rauchbier.
  • USA episode:  Anchor Steam, Mendocino Eye of the Hawk, and 2004 Anchor Christmas Ale.
  • UK episode:  Young's Special London Ale and Young's Oatmeal Stout.
  • NETHERLANDS episode:  Affligem Tripel (Belgium), LaTrappe (Koningshoeven) Dubbel, Chimay Red (Belgium), and Duinen Dubbel (Belgium).  After sampling the Tripel, we conducted a mini blind tasting to see if anyone could guess the identities of the three Dubbels.  Gail correctly guessed all three!
  • BELGIUM episode:  Frank Boon Framboise Lambic and Liefmans Goudenband.
