Episode 81 – Rodenbach Grand Cru

 

This week we’re joined by trouser-adverse beer blogger Matt Curtis to review a beer of much repute: Rodenbach’s Grand Cru.

In the news we look at the upcoming Winter Beer Fest, Pilsner Urquell’s lastest tankovna, the Good Beer Guide 2015 and the recent Indy Beer Can Competition.

We discuss Matt’s foray into blogging, look back at the recent Top 10 UK Pale Ales poll and there’s a double for someone in the Instagram of the Week.

If all that isn’t enough, we look forward to the Indy Man Beer Con with an interview with Claudia from the Indy Man team.

It’s Beer O’Clock!

Episode 80 – My Antonia

We’re back with Season 5, and what better way to start it off than a continuously-hopped Imperial Pils? I know, right! Fresh from Italy courtesy of our friends at Beers from Italy, it’s My Antonia – a collaboration ale from Dogfish Head and Birra del Borgo.

Joining us, and kindly supplying this week’s bottle and others throughout the upcoming season, are Andy and Geremiah from Beers from Italy.

This week’s news is the biggest ever, with the best ever pips and covers most things that we missed while we were off air. The coveted #PrizelessPrize Instagram of the week is back and we look forward to the rest of season 5.

All this plus the normal banter and chatter! It’s Beer O’Clock!

Apologies for some of the sound quality on this weeks show, we think the gremlins are still in the system following the Lock In!

Episode 79 – Summer Special – Magic Stone Dog

It’s our summer special! Now an annual feature (funny that), and this week with have a double-helping of summer goodness – not only do we review the Magic Rock / Stone Brew Co / Brewdog collaboration ‘Magic Stone Dog’, but we also have the sunny presence of Ian from a funny little place called Ireland and the 11PM Somewhere podcast!

PLUS a special heaping helping of audio from Steve’s recent visit to Brewdog HQ* including an exclusive interview with the founders, James Watt and Martin Dickie.

It’s Beer O’Clock!

Episode 78 – Good King Henry Special Reserve 2011

It’s the end of Season 4, and with great sorrow… we open what can only be described as a very special beer indeed. This week we tuck into Old Chimneys ‘Good King Henry Special Reserve 2011’, the highest rated beer on RateBeer.com and one that makes many a beer geek sweat.

In the news is Britain Beer Day, Thornbridge’s Summer Tour and Brewdog’s latest bar (of course!). There’s also the final Instagram #PrizelessPrize of the season and an immense season-end roundup with clips from our trip to the Great British Beer Festival!

It’s Beer O’Clock!

Episode 77 – Orval

This week is every craft wanker’s dream beer (apparently), Orval.

Joining us is the BEER OVERLORD from The Swan pub in Stratford St Mary (in Essex/Suffolky way), who gives us some insight into the beer and joins us for plenty more beery chatter.

Plus, Steve delivers the most self-indulgent news section ever including an interview with organisers of the Witham Beer Festival.

All this plus the Instgram of the week and news about season 5.

It’s Beer O’Clock!

Episode 76 – Bishops Finger

A return to days of olde, with a supermarket staple this week – Shepherd Neame’s Bishops Finger.

We’re joined by beer blogger and all-round good bloke, Glenn Johnson.

We look forward to the GBBF and Steve champions the cause of his local beer festival. Plus we chat to Ian from 11pm Somewhere podcast about the forthcoming Lock In supported by Thornbridge.

No #PrizelessPrize this week due to holidays but keep the entries coming on Instagram with #CheersGuys .

Also, the usual beery news and chatter – it’s beer o’clock!

Episode 75 – 01/01 Saison Citra

Fancy beer time! This week it’s Brew By Number’s 01/01 Saison Citra, and to discuss the style is someone who loves it – our old friend, Emma from Crema Brewery.

In the news there’s more from (yawn) Brewdog and we look forward to London Beer City with an interview with creator and coordinator Will Hawkes.

The #PrizelessPrize is taken to a new level by this weeks winner, all this and our usual beer news and chatter – it’s beer o’clock!

Episode 74 – Orach Slie and 2nd Birthday Special!

It’s the Beer O’Clock Show’s second birthday, and what a beer to celebrate with – Harvistoun’s Orach Slie. See what the lads think of a beer they’ve been holding on to for months just for this show.

Also, birthday messages akimbo, the release of the GBBF beer list and the #PrizlessPrize Instagram of the week!

Thanks to everyone for their support over the last two years – here’s to a couple more, eh?
