So what do you guys think? Are you ready to hear?

Only one brewer can come out the winner of "Beerland."
♪♪
My name's Meg Gill, and I love beer.
Oh, that's a great beer. -Yeah.
Oh. Wow.
Meg: So I'm heading on an epic beer adventure
to find out how beer is bringing people together...
Beer is self.
If it's good, people are going to come.
Meg: ...to meet amazing homebrewers
and to give one of them a chance to brew their beer
at my brewery, Golden Road.
You're the winners of "Beerland."
This is "Beerland."
♪♪
I'm here in L.A., where the winning homebrewer teams
from across the country have come to compete
in the finale of "Beerland."
Look at all the beer...
All the beer.
...in beautiful, sunny California.
Tomorrow, one of their beers will be selected to be brewed,
canned, and distributed by my brewery, Golden Road.
-Great! -[ Laughs ]
-Well, hello, guys. -Hey!
-Hi, Meg. -Hey!
-How you doing? -All these talented brewers
in one place.
I appreciate you guys entering the contest, coming out here.
I know it's a lot of work.
Was it pretty surreal that a beer that you guys brewed
is then served to this many people?
Does it -- Does it kind of make it real for you?
-Yeah! -Of course!
We all want to win. But actually --
What we want -- What we want is just to go ahead
and say you're going to brew all of our beers.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
Well, honestly, all your beers were amazing,
and, you know, we would love to brew them all,
but we can only pick one,
and that's what makes it so exciting.
-The stakes are high. -We'll see.
Big day tomorrow. Cheers.
-Cheers! -Cheers!
Whoo-hoo.
Meg: Today,
one of these homebrewers will get their chance
to break into the beer industry,
but it's been a long journey to get to this point.
I started in Alabama, where I was introduced to
Alabama surfing by a renaissance hillbilly named Willy Bob.
Willy Bob: Well, hillbilly doesn't exactly mean dumb.
They have college degrees. They're educated people.
Willy Bob blew me away with his Peach Hefeweizen,
a perfect summer beer.
If I win, my life will change a whole lot.
Seeing my name on the side of a beer to everybody back home,
they'd be so proud of me.
Meg: My next stop was in Detroit, where father-son team
Sean and Adrian were using beer to rebuild the city they love.
100% of the work that we do right now is nonprofit work,
and beer is, like, the thing that everyone is interested in.
Meg: They brewed a delicious German-style Helles Bock
using all Michigan ingredients.
Sean: We already know that people in Detroit love our beer,
and honestly, I-I really think good beer is good beer,
so I'm confident L.A. is going to love us.
Then I headed to Beervana, AKA Portland, Oregon,
where I found a homebrewer unlike any I've ever met before.
I was diagnosed with ALS,
so I started to round up people to help me.
It keeps me connected, engaged with life.
Mark and his team brewed an American blonde
that stood out in a city known for its craft beer scene.
It's way more complex than the usual American blonde.
Unfortunately, Mark couldn't make it to L.A.,
but his brewing partner, Cody, came to represent their beer.
Cody: It's a little bit stressful being put under
the pressure of being the representative for our group,
but I-I feel pretty confident.
Meg: My last stop was in Florida, where local lifeguards
Michael and Johnathan are using seawater in their beer.
You use seawater in your beer?
We do.
We try to put a little bit of the local stuff in every beer.
Meg: Their brewing operation was super impressive,
and their blueberry, mango, and habanero beer
was packed with flavor.
I'm a little nervous right now, anxious.
I can't wait for everybody to try the beer
and see if they like it.
We know what Florida people like.
Now, will it translate over to the California styles?
-We hope so. -Hope so!
Meg: Now I've brought all these winning homebrewers to L.A.
for 1 final day of tastings.
♪♪
♪♪
To determine the winner today, I've brought in L.A.
beer enthusiasts who will taste the beers and cast their votes.
Oh, wow.
I like the, like, a -- a subtle aftertaste, like...
I also brought in three judges to taste-test these beers
with me and give their expert opinions.
Thank you, guys, for coming in to judge.
-Yeah. I'm excited. -Thank you!
Exciting day!
Meg: Liam, one of our head brewers here at Golden Road.
Farideh, a culinary director at Munchies.
And Dailey, a homebrewer who made it
to the "Beerland" finale last season.
I'll take all of their feedback into account,
but the final decision is up to me.
What are you looking for this time around?
Some damn good beer.
Does it matter if it's true to style, innovative?
You know, there's true style,
but there's new styles being created all the time.
As long as it's great beer, I'm down.
Meg: Today, the judges and I will be looking
for four main things from the beers.
Appearance: The beer's appearance includes its color
and clarity, head size and retention.
Flavor complexity: How do all these ingredients come together
in the tasting?
Aroma: Smell is hugely important
when evaluating the execution of a good beer,
and it's integral to the taste.
And aftertaste: How do the flavors of the beer finish?
All right. Let's go change some lives through beer.
-Let's do it. -Yes.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
-Y'all doing all right? -Hi!
-Hello, Willy Bob. -Hey! What's going on?
-It's good to see you again! -Good to see you, my friend!
We got the Slow Pound Peach Hefeweizen here, huh?
-That sounds sexy. -It's supposed to.
Well, I smell it from here.
-Yeah. -Right on.
-Cheers! -Cheers, y'all!
-Cheers! -Cheers, guys.
♪♪
♪♪
Meg: We're at my brewery, Golden Road, where,
today, one of these homebrewers will get their chance
to break into the beer industry,
and we're about to taste Willy Bob's peachy Hef.
Willy Bob: The beer that I'm making is a Peach Hefeweizen,
and in the brew process,
you add peaches in the secondary for aroma and flavor.
It's just delicious.
It's like the perfect hot-weather beer.
It tastes like you're biting right into a fresh peach to me.
-It's -- Yeah. -It was very --
I could drink that all day long. Yeah. Yeah.
It was a little sweet for me.
-Cheers. -Cheers, guys.
The peach -- peach aroma, man.
Dailey: Mm.
This is a really tasty beer.
I don't get into any of, like, that typical Hefeweizen stuff
on the nose, like, the banana and the clove,
and definitely, the peach is forward in the spirit,
which I think is probably intentional.
How much fruit was that? I'm assuming --
It's about six peaches per gallon.
-Okay. -But these were softballs.
-Solid peaches. Yeah. -They were big.
And your general fermentation temperature?
About 70 degrees. I cheated, though.
I had a -- I had a floor, uh, event
that was coming up in my house, and I just sat it on top of it
and cranked the air down and left it.
-[ Laughs] -It works!
-That's not cheating. -It works.
However you can get there. That's not cheating.
That's an engineering solution.
Farideh, what do you think of the beer?
It's not as fruity as I was expecting it to be.
I almost want to, like, cook with this little bit.
I want to, like, add it to, like, a peach jam or something.
I'd have that on, like, a pork sandwich, like,
a pork-and-peach sandwich...
-Mm. -Yeah!
...and drink this with that would be fucking awesome.
Judges' final word for Willy Bob?
It doesn't say Hefeweizen to me, but it does say peach,
and it's a very, very delicious beer.
Yeah. Congrats.
We do a lot of fruit beers here at Golden Road.
Right. Yeah. We use a lot of fresh fruit as well.
And you have to be really careful about your balance of it.
Deliciously made beer, really great process, very impressed.
-Cheers, all. -Well-done!
-Thank y'all so much! -There you go.
There you go. Oh, put it -- Yeah, do that. There we go.
Slow Pound!
Willy Bob: Their faces were really hard to read.
The feedback they gave me, uh, where I missed
a little bit of the Hefeweizen,
the peach read through a little bit differently,
and they tasted more of, like, a wheat beer
than they did a Hefeweizen beer.
I think I knew they liked it.
I feel like I got what I wanted out of this beer.
♪♪
Sean: The beer we're making is a Helles Bock,
and we brewed it using Michigan ingredients,
Michigan malts and Michigan hops.
Adrian: I think this is a really good beer.
It's got a full body flavor, and it's a little malt-y.
It's all around a great drinking beer.
I grew up on German beer.
That's one of the best Helles Bock beer that I ever had.
I love it. I love it. I love it. Strong taste.
-All right. -Very nice.
-You're up, bud. -Hey, Sean.
-How you doing? -Good to see you. Hello, Adrian.
Super talented brewers but also amazing community givers.
They are rebuilding Detroit through beer.
-Cheers! -Cheers. Cheers. Cheers.
-Cheers, all. -Cheers, fellas.
Liam: Fantastic.
I want to ask the other homebrewers,
have you brewed this style?
I've never brewed this style.
I have, but I screwed it up.
I'm a big fan of bocks, big fan of German style.
A regular bock will be a lot darker than this,
so while it may not seem that it's actually a pale beer,
this is a lot more pale than a regular bock beer.
It's not an overly powerful maltiness,
and the hoppiness that you've got
really balances quite well with it.
It's actually very refreshing.
Meg: Farideh.
I want to compare it to, like, the chicken of the beer,
which I know sounds a bit weird.
I feel like this is a really classic, like,
I could drink it with a lot of different dishes.
Yeah. I think, as experimental as --
as you're saying these hops are,
I'm surprised at how, like, traditional it tastes.
The hop profile is, like, right on the money for a German beer.
It doesn't taste weird or -- or overly bitter or overly floral.
It feels, like, right -- right there.
All right, guys. Final word.
-Liam, go. -I possibly could've look -- uh,
looked for a little less haziness
with a longer lagering,
generally what we're looking for in a lager,
but it's homebrew, and I understand.
This is delicious, and even, like, cooking with it, too,
I feel like this is, like, a -- a nice cookable beer, as well.
I agree with, uh, Liam that it --
it should be more clear. It's just a cosmetic thing.
Cheers. Cheers.
-Cheers, all. -Cheers, fellas.
Adrian: Well, the judges gave us very good compliments,
and I was, like, "Wow! They really like our beers."
Sean: We're up against some really stiff competition here,
so I don't want to put the cart in front of the horse here,
but I think we stand a pretty fair chance of winning this.
Tough thing about a spicy beer,
it will blow their socks off or make them throw up.
♪♪
Meg: The judges and I have two more beers
to try before we decide the winner.
Next up, Cody, who's filling in for Mark from Portland.
Cody: Our main goal with this beer was to really try to create
a balance between a -- a blonde and a pale ale.
We really wanted to create a nice
crisp and refreshing summertime beer.
So, yeah, I think we're gonna be able
to give these guys a run for their money.
I wish it were a little bit more fruitier, but I love it.
It's really, really clean
and smooth like you were talking about.
Yeah.
-Hi there! How you doing? -Hey, Cody. Good to see you.
-Good to see you again. -You've got, like, a really
unique brewing process that you guys follow in Portland.
Yeah, my brew partner, Mark, he's got ALS.
He's pretty much bound to a wheelchair.
Mark is not here today, and Cody is the representative.
He compensates for his brain power
and his sense of humor, I would say, if I can interrupt.
Absolutely, to an evil-genius level, so, yeah.
Yeah. Mark is an evil genius, for sure.
Absolutely, so to be his hands and, like, really,
an extension of his brilliant brain
has really just been a pleasure and a privilege, really.
I think we're ready to try the beers. Let's drink some beer.
All right, I would love to hear you guys', uh, reaction to this.
Our main goal with this beer
was to really try to create a balance
between a blonde and a pale ale.
Uh, it's a little bit too hoppy to be a proper blonde.
It's a little light to be, uh, an actual pale.
Cheers, guys. Let's have a beverage.
-Cheers! -Cheers. Yeah.
Meg: Cheers.
So, Farideh, what do you think?
Blondes are one of my favorite kind of beer.
Not to be cliché, but I really want to drink this beer
when I'm, like, at a ball game, like, watching the Orioles play.
I want a fucking hot dog when I drink this beer.
-What does the anarchist think? -It's not just a typical
light Pilsner, but it's also not some palate-busting IPA.
It does have a unique quality to it while,
at the same time, being imminently quaffable.
Drinkability -- fantastic.
That lacing is some of the best lacing I've seen on a beer.
Thank you very much.
It's a magnificent, uh, protein, obviously, uh,
build that you've got in the beer.
From a homebrew standpoint, it's really difficult to do that,
even from a, you know, homebrew low-carb standpoint.
-Just delicious, really great. -Thank you very much.
Hops are beautiful.
Well, Cody, I think Mark will be very happy.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
-Yeah. -Cheers!
-Here's to you. -[ Laughs ]
Cody: I'm feeling really confident today.
The judges seemed to really like everything,
not a lot of criticism, which I was surprised about,
so I've got super high hopes, and hopefully,
I'll be able to to give Mark the great news soon,
so, uh, we'll see what happens.
♪♪
Johnathan: This beer that we're doing, the Mango War,
it has mango, blueberries and habaneros.
Michael: And it also has saltwater in it.
It's a really interesting beer.
Soon as you pour it, CO-- it mixes with CO2,
comes out and gives you a good aroma.
The interesting thing about is, like, Mango War
because, you know, they're, like, really deadly,
uh, jellyfish.
This thing is deadly also because
it's so delicious, you know.
Hey, fellas.
-Hi! -How you doing?
-Good! -Thank you guys for being here.
I guess I'll ask. Like, w-why do you homebrew?
We brew good beer, and we do a lot of charity events
where we bring our beer to share,
and we use that as a forum to get our word out
on the things that we like,
especially our clean water project, stuff like that.
These guys actually brew with saltwater
from the Atlantic Ocean... -Really?
...that -- on the beach that they're on.
-Wow. -Really?
Can we try it? Pour it for us. Let me try it.
You want to try it? Here we go!
Meg: Let's give it a whiff.
Wow.
Dailey: Goddamn.
So, Farideh, what's your first feedback on the beer?
Honestly, I want to drink this with seafood, like, right away.
I like the after spice.
It's not, like, too spicy on the tongue,
but that blueberry on the forefront, it's good.
I don't get a lot of mango, to be honest.
-It's really good. It's easy. -All right. Thank you!
It's a good drink.
Dailey?
A place for everything and everything in its place.
Like, this, uh, this beer is just
boop, boop, boop, boop, boop... -Yeah.
...like, lining them all the fuck up.
Goddamn it.
We wanted the blueberry nose...
-It's right -- Yeah! Shit! -...and the spice taste...
and then the mango on the finish.
-Yeah. Yeah. -And they did -- they did
what they said they were going to do
with this beer, right? -Yes. Yes.
-Boom, boom, boom. -All the senses.
-Yeah, it's great! -We even put a little bit
of honey malt in the beer to give it that Florida color.
Ah, yeah, like, motherfucking honey malt. Yeah.
Looks like the Florida sun. Think you lined them up and knocked them down.
-This tastes great. -Liam, man.
Tough thing about, uh, spicy beer is that, fr--
from a marketing standpoint,
you're cutting out most of the population because,
even though most people don't think it's spicy,
it will blow their socks off or make them throw up.
I love the blueberry nose.
It's out of this world, better than most blueberry beers
I've ever smelt. The mango I don't get.
Habanero could be backed off a bit.
Other than that, I think it's a great beer.
-Well, we love it, guys. -New man down.
-Cheers! -Cheers, boys.
-Cheers. Way to go. -Thanks very much.
Thank you!
Michael: Well, when the judges were tasting our beer,
they wanted a little more mango.
They thought the blueberry was good.
They, uh, thought the habanero was good.
Johnathan: Um, they're all pretty hard to read.
I really couldn't tell you which way the judges
are going to -- going to go with that.
-A lot of stuff going on. -We have -- We have no clue.
Meg: Now that the crowd has finished voting
and the judges and I tasted all four beers,
it's time for me to choose a winner.
So, guys, those are some damn good homebrews.
I have no idea what -- what the outcome is going to be.
Meg: We're here at the finale,
and we've tasted all four homebrews.
Now it's time to make my final decision.
Those are some damn good homebrews.
-Damn good. -We have a peachy Hef.
Then we've got the Helles Bock.
We've got the Sticky Betty,
and then we've got the Mango War.
You guys got to interact and meet these brewers.
We got a final decision now.
I mean, I could tell from your expressions
that you love the beers.
I didn't get a lot of negative feedback from all of you guys,
and so I have a feeling it's going to be tough.
I think I'm really leaning towards...
I don't know. I kind of like the mango.
I think that I was surprised by the Mango War.
I'm not a big spice person, but I liked the amount of spice
it had on the end I like that one a lot.
-Mango War. -Okay. You're in.
I think each of them have li-little,
small technical tweaks that could be made
to improve, like, with, uh, to me, the -- the peachy --
Dailey, beer always can get better.
Peach -- Peach -- Yeah. Okay. Very well.
-The... -What was the best beer?
I mean, well, in that case then,
what I really want to drink another one of would be the --
the Mango War.
All right. So we got two -- two Mango Wars.
I really appreciate the attention to style
that Sean and Adrian did,
but I think I'm gonna have to go with, uh,
with Willy Bob's Peach Hefeweizen.
-Peachy Hef. -Yeah.
It's a perfect blend of beautiful f--
fruit blend with one of my favorite styles,
great mouthfeel, very easy to drink,
not too high on the ABV.
All right.
I didn't get, like, the, like, the typ--
the typical stuff off of the what we would call a Hef
from the peach at all.
Trust me. I'm a -- I'm a classic styles person.
Yeah.
But as soon as you call something a Peach Hefeweizen...
-Mm-hmm. -...it's no longer a Hefeweizen.
-Okay. -It is a fruit beer.
Mm-hmm. And I think the fruit characteristic
came out of it perfectly.
So, guys, I have the crowd vote in my pocket.
I haven't looked at it, waiting for you guys to cast your vote.
Are you ready to hear about the crowd vote?
-Yeah. For sure. -Sure. Would love to.
Yeah. All right. Wow.
51% on Willy Bob's Slow Pound.
And 31% on -- on Mango War.
The L.A. beer-drinking crowd agreed with you.
They did.
And these guys were -- were second with the Mango War.
-Second. -And those are -- those are --
The problem is, those are my top two.
You guys are split.
The crowd is a bit split, so thank you, guys.
Super tough decision.
I've made up my mind, ready to tell the winner.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
Thanks, Meg.
♪♪
Meg: All right. We're going to bring out our homebrewers,
so, uh, give it up!
[ Cheers and applause ]
That's right!
All right!
[ Cheers and applause ]
They're all out.
They all -- all smiles, all look happy, all look confident,
but, you know, only one brewer
can come out the winner of "Beerland,"
and we're so excited because all the beers were so good.
It's hard to make a well-made beer,
and you all did it, so just a big round of applause
for how amazing the beers were today.
Cheers.
[ Applause ]
So there were two beers that stood out from the crowd
and the judges of the top one and two beers.
The crowd vote, the top beer was Willy Bob's Peachy Hef.
His Slow Pound Hef. So...
[ Cheers and applause ]
Tuscaloosa and all of Alabama will be very proud,
uh, uh, of you, Willy Bob.
Cheers.
And then the -- the judge vote was actually the Mango War beer
from Florida.
[ Cheers and applause ]
From the com-- complexity of execution,
with all the ingredients that you guys put in the Mango War,
uh, the judges were really impressed, uh, with that beer.
So what do you guys think? Are you ready to hear the final?
[ Cheers and applause ]
This was a super tough decision.
From a beer perspective, all the beers were awesome,
but, you know, the execution of the Mango War
was over the top for me.
You guys, you're the winners of "Beerland."
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪
Nice job, Johnathan.
-We feel excited. -Oh, my God. It's so unreal.
Surreal.
I can't even think of words to say, actually.
I -- I see it on TV all the time where people say,
"Uh, I can't think straight," and now I feel it.
To have our beer brewed here, I think it will be able
to get it out to a lot more people
and maybe help more charities
and do what we've been doing all along, hopefully.
-It's simply amazing. -Amazing.
We did our best, and we -- I felt we --
we represented the craft beer scene in Detroit.
I have no disappointments. We made a lot of great friends,
and we had a lot of great beer here.
Cody: So, now that the competition is over,
I think we can all, like, breathe a big sigh of relief.
Uh, first thing we're going to do is have some drinks,
just need a beer, maybe two, maybe eight.
I don't know. No.
Willy Bob: This doesn't put any dampener on anything.
I'm Charlie in the Chocolate Factory.
I'm just happy to be here.
