Episode 123 – Snowball (and Indy Man)

 

This week’s show has loads of great reviews from the UK’s greatest beer gathering, Indy Man. We look back at the convention and talk to Myles Lambert, Paul Grant, Bob Maxfield, Carl Marshall, Roland Glew, Beer Farts and Claudia from Indy Man about the beers and their thoughts on the event.

Plus, we do actually review a beer this week – the chocolate, vanilla & coconut stout ‘snowball’ from The Waen Brewery.

There’s news and as you would expect, an Indy Man themed great big box of nothing in the #prizelessprize

It’s Indy Man O’clock!

Episode 122 – NZ Hopfen Weisse

 

This week we feature not one, but two beers from the Manchester-based Cloudwater Brew Co. Our feature beer is the NZ Hopfen Weisse from their Autumn range plus we also crack a US Hopfen Weisse from their Summer Range for comparison purposes. If that wasn’t enough Cloudwater for you, there’s also an epic interview with co-founder Paul Jones.

We also discuss exactly what a Hopfen Weisse is, the constant innovation of beer styles and in #HopTopic we ask what the term ‘IPA’ actually means now.

All this plus the usual news and the most epic #prizelessprize we’ll ever award.

It’s Beer O’Clock!

Episode 121 – Espresso Stout

 

This week we features Manchester blogger, Twitter pest and friend of the show Connor Murphy reviewing Squawk Brewing Company’s Espresso Stout with us. Plus there’s our first interview not hosted by Steve as Connor chats to Oli from Squawk.

In the news we look back at what the #BigBeeryNight achieved, chat about reports and awards and reveal new beers, websites and discount codes.

We look forward to Indy Man with Connor and we give away another great big box of nothing in the #prizelessprize

All this plus another #HopTopic where we discuss picture tagging on Twitter.

It’s Beer O’clock!

Episode 120 – Jack of Clubs & Queen of Hearts

It’s another double episode this week as we take on Wild Card Brewery’s Jack of Clubs Ruby Red and Queen of Diamonds IPA. Plus there’s an interview with the girls behind Wild Card Brewery.

It’s a slow news week, so in the news we reveal a season 8 new beer and in #HoptTopic we ask “what’s the most you’ve paid/would be willing to pay for a beer?”

There’s a return to form in the #prizelessprize and we preview our Crimbo Crawl.

It’s Beer O’clock!

Episode 119 – Jakehead IPA

This week we head to the North East to drink a beer that recently won the 100 Hottest Beers in Britian, Wylam Brewery’s Jakehead IPA.

In the news we’ve got the lowdown on this year’s Indy Man, the #BigBeeryNight and in #HopTopic we talk about the recent Heineken investment into Lagunitas.

All this plus another first time winner of a big box of nothing in the #prizelessprize.

It’s Beer O’clock!

Episode 118 – Cwtch & 14|02

This week we feature CAMRA’s Champion Beer of Britain, Tiny Rebel’s ‘Cwtch’ and Brew By Numbers 14|02 ‘Wai-iti Tripel’. If that wasn’t enough we’ve also got an interview with Tom from Brew By Numbers.
