A Beer Geek With A Video Camera- Chris Steltz and Beer Geek Nation

What comes about when a person is a beer and techno geek? Beer Geek Nation!

Chris Steltz is one of the hosts of the YouTube channel and for anyone watching it becomes immediately clear that the man knows of what he speaks.

Steltz has over six thousand subscribers and over 850,000 video views and of the time of this post, so with numbers like that one has to come to the conclusion that he (and those who occasionally appear with him) have been a part of the craft beer community for long enough to have a real knowledge of craft beer and home brewing.

Chris and beer reviews:

He presents his beer reviews in the standard appearance/aroma/taste format but where he sets himself apart from others is his ability to distinguish subtle flavors and put those into words on the fly. I with I could do that, but not being able to leads me to writing and not having a video blog. Meh, oh well.

He reviews beers from all over the nation and beers from all styles and price levels. He seems to leave nothing untouched. And he does this in a way that is entertaining and never pedantic or arrogant. Well done, Chris.

Chris and how-to:

His how-to videos are a must watch for anyone starting out in the hobby of homebrewing.  His instructions and suggestions are clear and he adds the why with the how-to so a person gets a better understanding of the process.

When he recommends a product it is out of person use and I get the feeling in most cases he has tried competition before he gives a recommendation. There’s nothing better than an honest beer geek.

Occasionally Chris hosts a live cast with his contributors and the latest one I found informative and fun, even at nearly two and a half hours.

BGN has a handful of other contributors and these geeks are well worth following as well, but more on them later. But for now a huge “thank you” to Chris Steltz for the entertainment and the insights into the craft beer scene and long may your tankard be full.
