Hopinions 51 “In The Game”

November 30, 2017 / steve / 0 Comments

This week we’re rocked by the fact that we recorded a show under a hour!

Beers | Wild Weather Ales ‘First Person Fruiter’, ‘Peach of a Weekend’, ‘Breakfast at Sciliy’s’ and ‘Skadoosh’

Hopinions | In the modern UK beer market do breweries need their beers in cans to stay in the game?

Many thanks the folks from Wild Weather Ales for sending over a selection of beers for us to try for free. This didn’t influence our thoughts on the beer. Thanks also to Liquorice in Shenfield for letting us use their tasting room to record this week.

This week we’re joined once again by Ruth Mitchell to guide us through the beery delights that Berkshire has to offer. We also place our bets on who we think will be the next UK buy out as well as covering two polls. It’s a long one folks…

Beers | Renegade ‘Craft Lager’, Elusive Brewing ‘Plan B’ & ‘Level Up (Level 6)’, Wild Weather/Weird Beard ‘Kwantum State’ and Binghams ‘Vanilla Stout’

Hopinions | When you say “dank” what are you referring to? & Do you overlook your local breweries?

Apologies for the slight issues with the sound/background noise in this episode. We were unaware of the audible hum in the room until the edit.

We are grateful that some of the breweries gave us these beers for free to feature on the show and this did not impact on our thoughts on them.
