I’m partial to the odd Pure Brewed Lager from Samuel Smith – but as I’m still doing a one-man boycott, the Tadcaster bullies’ beers are off limits. Apart from that, I’ve never really got on with British lager, even the ‘craft’ stuff. I don’t even get o… [...]

Joseph Emswiler of Proper Hops | Interview With A Craft Beer Enthusiast (Part 2 of 2)
Joseph Emswiler is a fresh face on the BeerTube scene. He started his vlog "Proper Hops" in the fall of 2011 and has gained a large following in just a few months. I didn't discover him until only a month or so ago, but have to say I'm definitely a fan now.
Joe and I reviewed Southern Tier 2X Stout and rolled right into this interview. Here's the questions:
0:01 Do you prefer any particular styles or an appreciator of all styles?
0:58 How would you describe the Washington, D.C. beer scene?
2:29 Is it true that D.C. doesn't have any distribution laws?
3:33 What's up with all those beer boxes behind you?
4:17 Are you a homebrewer?
4:45 How did you get so many subscribers so fast?
6:39 What's the technical side of your show?
7:59 Do you shoot all your reviews in one night?
8:39 What editing software do you use? Did you design your own graphics?
