Episode 114 – AB:18

We’ve reached the end of another season and our 6 nations of beer tour concludes with a beer from the Brewdog Abstrakt range, AB:18, an imperial brown ale.

We look back at the shortest season we’ve ever done and pick out our highlights. Plus there’s a bumper news segment, hop topic and a completely self-indlugent #prizelessprize

We’ll be back on 24 July with the first of three summer specials and then back with season 8 on 11 September plus they’ll be some more ‘revisited’ shows to keep you going until we return.

While we’re away you can still access the amazing discounts from our friends online and we’ll be letting you know what we’ll be drinking for season 8 very soon.
