Keeler and Dawson

As long as Evil Dawson didn't quit. He's my favorite.

The only way I see any of those guys getting drafted as brewcasters would be if Justin and NB for some reason ended their sponsorship agreement. They are still sponsoring the BN, right?

Sucks though. Otherwise it does seem like a natural fit to have them pick up where they left off over here. Assuming NB was even ok with it, Justin would still have to come up with a new business model to fund video production, and somehow convince all those guys to work for beer. They've got a ready audience, but paid programming probably wouldn't fly.

i suppose you're right...bummer

+1 for the new Dawson and Keeler BN show

Has the thought of too much debt due to over expansion and a shit economy entered anyones mind?

Dawson has a fledgling killer blog going at http://thebeerengineblog.com/ and this comment can be found on the about page, note that MZA is Dawson. Sounds like he's keeping mum.

Will you guys ever fill in your fans about why you left northern brewer?

Nope. That’s between me and NB. This machine makes beer. Cheers!

From their site it looks like they've been looking for a new "director of retail" since Sept. Up until a few days ago they also had a full time retail position listed. I noted "bachelors degree preferred" in the listing... Seriously? To work the counter in a brew shop?

Silly, silly, silly.
I cant imagine a fresh college grad shooting right over to NB to apply for a counter position.
Not to be a douche about it, but most of the folks Ive seen in NB St Paul, dont look to be college grads.
Hipsters, and coolies is the vibe I get. But they very well could be grads. Who knows.
Hairy men and hairy women, too!

Just sayin...
Ive havent used them for quite awhile, either.

Seriously though, with Keeler's sense of timing and Dawson's intellect, and without the restraints of working on behalf of a company, they would make an excellent show, regardless of format.

Could be video vignettes, could be podcasts, could be a live call-in show. Hook them up with some sponsors and simulcast through the BN, and they would increase the rate of new BN listenership even more.

I think all would welcome Keeler and Dawson's contributions to BN brewcasting.
