Upbeat Brew Review
by Upbeat Brew Review
I'm Jon Windholz, an avid beer drinker and enthusiast. On this podcast, I review craft beer. My process uses a combination of multiple sensory evaluations, adding a couple variations of my own. I evaluate 5 main categories, Visual - Aroma - Taste - Mouthfeel - and Drinkability, each having sub-categories for elaboration. I'd love for you to follow along at home. For a copy of my Evaluation Sheet, email me at [email protected]. If you'd like to support the podcast, I have hats and glasses for sale, or I can send you a few stickers for free. Simply email me your order!
