Episode 98 – Jarl

 

This week we’re joined by one of the original British beer casters – Richard Taylor from the esteemed BeerCast. Together we review Jarl, a hoppy blond ale from Scottish brewer Fyne Ales.

We preview the next Wee Beastie tasting event from Harviestoun and look forward to the Sheffield Beer Week and our appearance at the Hop Hideout.

There’s a stunning #prizelessprize and we chat to Fergus Fitzgerald from Adnams about the booming Irish beer scene.

Plus, in case you didn’t notice, Steve got an upgrade and we’re sounding better than ever! Just one of a few changes we’ll be making to the show over the coming months.

It’s most definitely Beer O’Clock!

Episode 97 – Bo Bristle Amber

 

It’s time for another beer in our series of Irish ales, and this week we have Bo Bristle’s Amber. Joining us are Mrs Beer Snob Janice Dunn and Sarah Finney from 5 Mins of Finney.

We have a look back at our beery week including a trip to Adnams, Craft Beer Rising and the release of the Wee Beastie!

News comes from our Irish Field Office and includes details of Janice (and Wayne’s) recent appearance on Irish national radio (listen here).

There’s all the usual beery banter and not one but two #prizelessprizes.

It’s Beer O’Clock!

Wee Beastie 01 – Barley Wine & Engineer’s Reserve

 

It’s Wee Beastie time! In a fun little collaboration with Harviestoun, we’re really bloody pleased to bring you a spin-off series of the Beer O’clock Show (but all still on the same feed) featuring a line of one-off beers from Harviestoun, brewed under the Wee Beastie moniker.

In this episode, we have Shaun from Harviestoun on to explain just exactly what the whole Wee Beastie thing is about, and we tuck into the first of two beers from the lineup – a barley wine, and a very special bottle-conditioned version of Old Engine Oil Engineer’s Reserve. Did we mention it’s special?

We’re also working with Justin Mason on this project to bring you his thoughts on the beers over on Get Beer. Drink Beer.

It’s Beastie O’clock!

Episode 96 – Ticketybrew Dubbel

 

This week we’re joined by beer blogger and homebrewer Connor Murphy (@likethemurphys) to review Ticketybrew’s Dubbel.

Plus there’s guest pips and Steve gets bored half way through the news.

The wee beastie approaches and there is a dubbel with the Instagram #prizelessprize

It’s Beer O’Clock!

Episode 95 – Tutti & Frutti

It’s what everyone (well, Mark at least) has been waiting for… Andy Parker (@tabamatu)’s Tutti Frutti Saison!

Except it’s not quite that simple… Listen as the boys tuck into the master homebrewer’s Tutti American Pale Ale and Frutti Saison!

Plus there’s all the news, a preview of Craft Beer Rising and another first time winner in the #prizelessprize

It’s Beer O’Clock!

Episode 94 – Of Foam and Fury

 

We’re back for Season 6, and kicking off what promises to be a jam-packed season with an Irish focus, we review Galway Bay’s Of Foam and Fury.

We’re joined by Janice and Wayne from the Irish Beer Snob podcast, and our old mate Ian from the 11pm Somewhere podcast.

Plus an extended news, loads of beery chatter and the first #prizelessprize winner of season 6.

Make sure to check episode 33 of 11pm Somewhere for an interview with the guys from Galway Bay.

Oh, and just what is Wee Beastie???

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.

It’s Beer O’Clock!

It’s the season 5 Homebrew Special featuring Ady Goodrich, Carl Marshall and Dave-Harrison Ward with their delectable selection of beers.
