Episode 93 – Mystery Beer Live Episode

To cap off Season 5 the Beer O’Clock Show went live to the YouTubes to record the grand unveiling of the end-of-season Mystery Beer that only Steve knew about.

Listen to the polished version show via the usual means, or watch our little faces from the YouTube recording below as we break open and enjoy Magic Rock’s Bourbon Barrel Bearded Lady Imperial Brown Stout.

There’s a preview of the forthcoming Lock In with Sharona from Left Hand Brewing telling us all about the beers we’ll be drinking. Plus the final #PrizelessPrize was the closest one we’ve had all season. Check out the winning entry here and the runners up here.

We recount the season past, and all the beers and company we enjoyed, and Mark gets a bit emotional.

The UK Top 10 Ales

 

We have our first brewery to win 2 polls, running away with the votes on this one…

1. Marble Pint 3.9% ABV (bitter)
Former guest on the show and Manchester-based blogger Rowan Molyneux has this to say about the winning beer… Marble has been one of my favourite breweries since I started drinking beer, and when I moved to Manchester I was delighted to be able to drink in Marble’s own pubs. Zingy, pale and fresh, Pint is a stalwart of the Marble range. Full-bodied despite its low ABV, the grapefruit and lemon flavours sing from the glass and its clean, refreshing nature leads you towards ordering another, and another….
