ABV Chicago’s Arbitrary Decade-End Survey (and Raffle!)
Being teachers, we value feedback, revision, and “teachable moments” even when it comes to our silly beer podcast. So, we’re gathering feedback about our show, in addition to some outside perspective about the last ten years in beer.
To encourage your patience in filling out this survey, you may enter a raffle by including some contact information on the survey form. A list of possible raffle prizes is listed below. We will be using the results of this survey to compile information for an upcoming article on our website and discussion on the podcast, but we will not be including names of respondents in either of those published pieces.
About the ABV Chicago Podcast:
We (Craig and Ryan) are entering our 6th year covering craft beer through our inane perspectives and arbitrary reviews, pausing every so often to actually learn about this industry we love so much. Though Chicago is our home and informs our perspective and tastes, we always seek to try beer from anywhere and everywhere in addition to the steady stream of locals. We are largely independently-supported through our Patreon patrons, in addition to our sponsorship from independent craft retailer Beer on the Wall. The show’s format is usually just two friends reviewing a lineup of beer that is united under some common theme, but at times we venture to breweries and beer fests to talk with the actual experts in the world of beer. We’ve released episodes every single week on Wednesday since January of 2014, and we’ve been releasing additional short episodes called Low ABVs every Monday through our Patreon since April of 2016.
