Beer Nutz is a TV series produced and originally aired by Mojo HD in 2006. It is a documentary-style show that explores the world of craft beer and the people who take their love for it to the next level. The show’s hosts, Todd and Gene, are two beer enthusiasts who travel across the country to meet the hardest core beer drinkers and discover the best tasting brews, learn about beer history, and attend beer festivals.

The show is formatted in a way that is both entertaining and informative. Todd and Gene are likeable hosts, their love and passion for beer evident in every episode. Together, they visit local breweries to taste their unique creations, interview brewers and beer experts who give interesting insights about brewing techniques, ingredients, brewing history and the craft beer scene.

One aspect of the show that makes it stand out is that it's not just about beer. It's about connecting with the people behind it, the artisans and their stories. Todd and Gene introduce viewers to the brewers who create the various styles of beer, showing viewers the people behind the finished product. They get to know these beer makers, learn about their backgrounds, and explore how they came to love brewing beer.

Another great thing about Beer Nutz is that it covers the complexities of different beers, including historical and cultural aspects. They take the viewer on a journey into the world's finest beers, exploring the styles, colors, aromas and connoisseur culture behind them. For example, the show explores the history and evolution of craft beer in Belgium, one of the birthplaces of great beer and home of countless centuries-old breweries.

In the same vein, the show discusses different beer brands and styles, from lagers, stouts, porters, to ales, and IPAs. The hosts engage viewers through their engaging conversations, tasting sessions and beer competitions

One stand-out episode called “Beer vs. Wine Pairings” features a competition between a beer tasting expert and a wine tasting expert in testing their abilities to match a drink with food. It was an eye opener to see how much beer could complement and even surpass wine in terms of food pairing.

The show also explores the beer industry, calling out big brewing companies who often prioritize mass production and making beer more of a lifestyle than an art. Todd and Gene seldom shy away from these brand strategies that result in the lowest common denominator of beer, which to them is bland and bereft of the variety and depth that defines craft beer. In their quest to explore the true meaning of craft beer, they won’t hesitate to call out the corporate interests that are causing the decline of artisanal brewing.

Ultimately, what sets the show apart is the sheer fun and joy that Todd and Gene bring to the screen. With such a laidback approach, their passion for beer is palpable and infectious. It's obvious that they're having the time of their lives, and that sense of enthusiasm carries over to the viewer, making Beer Nutz an entertaining and enjoyable show to watch.

In conclusion, Beer Nutz is a compelling, fun and informative show about craft beer culture, featuring two beer enthusiasts who are passionate about finding the best beer in the country. The show is never dull, providing insights into the art and history of brewing beer, and a glimpse into the lives of the people behind the brews. It’s also eye-opening to see the dynamics of the brewing industry, which is seeing the art of brewing being slowly eroded by mass production. It’s the perfect show for beer aficionados and anyone interested in craft beer, and delivers an immersive and engaging experience for all beer lovers.
