Today, getting what you need is as easy as a trip to the store. From food to clothing, energy, medicine, and so much more, Andy George will discover what it takes to make everything from scratch. His mission is to understand the complex processes of manufacturing that is often taken for granted and do it all himself. Each week he’s traveling the world to bypass the modern supply chain in order to harvest raw materials straight from the source. Along the way, he’s answering the questions you never thought to ask.

I really liked the guy showing you around. He was so knowledgeable and passionate and eager to share a small part of his knowledge with you (and in turn us). It was a joy to watch.

Virgin America offers your videos on their flights. This is really high-quality

1:41 “all the foam, all deh *bobols* ”

My favorite part 😂

Part 4 is me sitting and drinking tequila while saying "Man, I think Andy's job is cool."

[grunermrk]

That guy was very well spoken and was very articulate in the way he shared his knowledge of the process.

How has this channel not become more popular?

[icampos]

I want to love something like that man loves tequila.

I tasted anejo Tequilla and it cant be compared to the cheap "shot" one. It tasted more like a good scotch. Very mild and pleasant to drink. Awesome Video series!

[xBeauGaming]

Loved it man, you're making awesome content.

This is my opinion:
I think you might want to upload episodes weekly, if you finished your project, to keep viewers interested so they stick to the channel. YouTube's algorithm also likes schedules, so keeping a schedule for a project is good. That may not be possible for every project you have but if you're finished with one I think you should put the episodes up on a weekly basis and not just upload all of it straight to YouTube. I understand that this suggestion may not be possible but it's worth a shot.
I really want this channel to grow because it shows potential to make the best of the best in terms of documentaries. I mean it already is one of the best in my opinion.

Definitely, I have a lot more appreciation for tequila, so thanks for showing me everything Andy.

I really love how this guy talked about tequila. I enjoy my tequila either straight or in a whiskey glass with ice and splash of lime. That depends on the quality of course. I've had tequilas that have been like motor oil and others that taste like caramel or oaky and although both are good the latter are much more enjoyable. Also yes! For cocktails use the bottom shelf stuff. The expensive stuff should be savoured. Like you'd never use an aged scotch in a whiskey and Coke. Don't do the same with añejo tequila

[Julyfaction]

I love a quality reposado! This video is so educational about how the noble, humble agave becomes fine complex tequila

[healinglily]

It's meaningful because it's their culture, it's their live. It's really a part of their soul. When things are so hands on, so everyday, all around you, that's meaningful.

I love how the guy described the way some other tequila makers make theirs but refused to say what most people in his position would say that "they make it this way and we make it this way which is why ours is better" he just said they are different

[killer]

im really curious since there is not exact limit to how long you can let in sit in the barrel i wonder what the oldest tequila they have or have seen or tasted

[Vlad]

Fantastic series guys. Looking forward to the next episode, cheers!

[intime]

I just subscribed to your channel! Such interesting projects.
I loved how he was so passionate about everything surrounding the production of tequila.
The message he wanted to send or has reached another person!

Thank you for you videos and keep up the amazing work!

[TheDaleyVlog]

New found respect for tequila :) I really want to see more people following your videos man they are amazing!

Awesome Content!! I wish this " How To Brew Everything" series was longer (per episode) and more in depth. I would rather watch stuff like this, thane regular T.V. Your perspective as a new brewer is relatable, but your leg work is unique and highly valuable! Please extend this series. There is much to discover about the process. I've been a subscriber for a long time, I love this channel. Great job!
