Michelob
As if you didn't notice, we're here at the brewery in St. Louis where they make all the new Michelob craft beers. Right before sitting down here to shoot th show, the head brewmaster gave us a custom tour to teach us about the Michelob Craft beers. You can check out video from the tour at Michelob.com

This sampler pack is a great way to enjoy a variety of the Michelob craft beers.

This week we are drinking the the Michelob Amberbock

Uses an all malt recipe (no adjunct grains)
Uses all imported hops
Offers a very smooth taste
Deep dark color

We'll be drinking a different Michelob craft beer each week over the next 6 weeks so be sure to get a sampler pack and enjoy the beers with us as you watch Diggnation. Next week we will be drinking Marzen.

Well I would have found the tour to be more interesting if it were at Umbrella.

The main problem with this thread is that someone (non-employee) posted a discussion thread for an episode that wasn't even released. It is our job to make sure these threads get posted and we don't mind fans starting the threads themselves. I hope that people look at this thread and will learn to not ruin an entire episode discussion before the episode is even released.

I am sorry people had to read the whining in this thread but hopefully it won't happen again. Thanks for understanding.

also: Good job to Glenn on the Michelob tour!

"I am so disgusted with the amount of baby wining from half-wits in this forum. If you check the homepage of Rev3 to see if the actual show is available then you would have this problem.

Better yet just sign up for the RSS then you can simply check your RSS accounts for when the actual show is released. The interns are their to do a job and to put the theories they have learned to good use while attending school. If you looked up the definition of interns then you would know that most do not get paid for "donating" their precious time.

LAY OFF!! they are doing their best for something that is not an exact science. If you don't like it go elsewhere. No one is forcing you to stay but I guarentee you won't find half as good as talent as Rev3 for the genre of what they do.

If all you have to do is complain then go get a job. you obviously have too much time on your hands.

Not one of their better episodes but very informative as far as the tester pack beer. I am curious now."

valid points but not as valid as this, you maxhdrm need to get over yourself your not that important

yikes alex. i'm surprised you don't know how to enable such a thing, for an avid computer user (not like he even reads the diggnation forums)
...but - is it me or is that a pretty common knowledge type of thing to do/enable

didn't realize people still keep the default setting to have their file extensions hidden?!? :eek:

Since they couldnt find how to view the file extensions heres how you do it. It's actually really easy to find if you look.
