Many thanks to the folks at Best of British Beer for sending us both a Virtual British Beer Festival box to try on the show. Although these were gifted to us this didn’t influence our thoughts. 

Episode 104 – Hook Island Red

 

This week we dive into a bottle from the fine London brewery, Five Points Brewing – a red rye ale called Hook Island Red. We also take a few sips of something special that makes Mark’s lips a bit numb, yes folks we tackle Brewdog’s Sink The Bismark.

There’s a news section that makes Steve proud, we look forward to our new ‘Revisited’ spin off, preview season 7 and there’s a first time winner in the #prizelessprize

All this plus an interview  with Barry who manages a bar in Dublin’s Temple Bar about the growing Irish beer scene.
