Episode 50 – Fullers 2012 Vintage Ale

We’re 50! Well, 50 episodes old at least, and it’s a very special episode with a very special beer: Fuller’s 2012 Vintage Ale.

How will Steve and Mark enjoy a beer they’ve been holding on to for over a year? Will they drift off into hours of reminiscing? How have they last this long, anyway?

All this and the usual beery chatter – it’s beer o’clock!

Episode 49 – Kona Fire Rock

Another trip across the pond, and feeling the sand between our hairy toes as we walk the beaches of Hawaii (at least in our minds) for this week’s beer: Kona’s Fire Rock Pale Ale.

Also, updates on all manner of Beer O’Clock Show goodness! Upcoming milestones, christmas crawls, and more!

It’s Beer O’Clock!

Episode 48 – Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Ale

This week we paddle across the pond (and across land a bit) to the Sierra Nevada mountains in California for a barley wine style ale as another feature of this season’s US Beer Adventure. It’s a Bigfoot Ale from Sierra Nevada.

We’re joined this week by Mark Kelly from the Beer Boutique in South London for some light-hearted, beer-related chatter.

It’s Beer O’Clock!

Episode 47 – Homebrew Special #1

It’s a huge show this week, with FIVE guests joining Steve and Mark in the BoCS studios for our first ever Homebrew special, with four – FOUR – different beers. Hoo boy.

We have the mighty DOODY from Still Thinking with his saison Monarch.

Chris and Emma from Crema Brewery and their Red Snow Rye

Andy from Elusive Brewing with his DIPA

and @Andrew_Drinks from a Brewery Yet To Be Named with his black IPA

No beery chatter – no beery news. Just wall-to-wall beer! It’s Beer O’Clock!

Episode 46 – Red Rocket Ale

It’s Beer O’clock, and time for another trip across the pond. This week, the boys sample Bear Republic’s Red Rocket Ale from Sanoma County in California.

PLUS Steve gets an extra review in of one of his new favourite beers from the Stone brewery.

PLUS!! Steve also gets a chance to talk to one of his adulthood heroes. And no, it’s not Mark…

All this and more!

Episode 44 – M&S Citra IPA

It’s Beer O’Clock, and the boys are joined once again by #3 (formerly #1) fan, Stath AKA Cricket Geoff. Eh?

They drink an easy-to-get Marks & Spencers Citra IPA, and along with the usual beery chat and banter, we also have some clips from the Harviestoun  brewery tap takeover recently held in some pub in London… yes, Mark types these notes up.

Enjoy!

Episode 43 – Odell 5 Barrel Pale Ale

WIth the first of their special selections from the USA, Steve and Mark dive head first into that hydra of beers, the 5 Barrel Pale Ale from Odell. How will they find the kick-off of beers from the other side of the pond?

And also, usual beery news and catch up on everything going on in the beer world. It’s Beer O’Clock!

Episode 42 – Hardknott Infrared

We venture into the wilds of Sainsburys this week, for the Great British Beer Hunt, and a bottle of Hardknott’s red IPA, Infrared.

Along with special guest Dave (@pixellated), Mark & Steve sniff and ponder and sniff again as they try and decide just what the beer smells like using Special Beer Snob sniffing techniques!

This, as well as a roundup of the Craft Beer Social Club’s opening night, and other beery chatter – it’s Beer O’Clock!

Episode 41 – Harvistoun Schiehallion

Mark & Steve take a trip north of the border – if only via the wonders of internet communication – to catch up with #2 Fan, DOODY, as they all taste that Scottish Craft Lager – Schiehallion by Harvistoun.

Includes bonus real Scottish accent!

Plus your usual beery news, facts, and opinions.
