Episode 131 – Two Hundred Fathoms

IMG_5279This week we welcome Mr & Mrs Beer Snob, Wayne & Janice Dunne back to the Beer O’clock studios to review Galway Bay’s barrel aged imperial stout ‘Two Hundred Fathoms’.

We catch up on all the news, give away another first time #prizelessprize and there’s a bonus interview with Caroline Hennessy, author of the Irish craft beer and food book, Sláinte.

If that wasn’t enough, Mark also gets a bit ranty in #hoptopic.

It’s Beer O’Clock!

 

‘Sláinte’ can be purchased for worldwide delivery here and Caroline’s website can be found here

Episode 130 – Sourdough

IMG_5276This week we feature Wild Beer’s ‘Sourdough’ with guest reviewer Ben McCormick. Ben will be know to many on Twitter as the originator of the beer advent calendar, and this beer features part of his calendar for this year. We also chat to Ben about the rise in popularity of the ‘beer advent calendar’ and this sparks a discussion as part of this week’s #hoptopic.

We give away another great big box of nothing in the #prizelessprize and there’s a fascinating interview with hop farmer Ali Capper from Stocks Farm.

It’s Beer O’clock!

 

Episode 129 – Yellow Belly

image1 (3)This week we welcome Buxton Brewery head brewer Colin Stronge to the show talk to us about all things Buxton including the Yellow Belly imperial stout with us.

No news this week, just wall-to-wall chat with Colin, plus listener questions, the #prizelessprize and another Twitter-engaging #hoptopic.

All this plus an interview with beer writer and secretary of the British Guild of Beer Writers, Adrian-Tierney Jones.

It’s Beer O’clock!

Episode 128 – Revelation

Revelation

We’ve all been there. We’ve all had that moment, and this week we enjoy Dark Star Brewing’s ‘Revelation’ in cans. Plus thanks to the guys at Dark Star we’ve giving you a chance to win a six pack in #BeeryRevelations.

In the news we talk about another craft acquisition, the rainbow project, Irish beers taking over the world and some exciting activities that we’ve been up to this week.

We have an interview and some exciting news from We Can Solutions, a fairly lively #HopTopic and this week’s #prizelessprize goes down to the wire.

It’s Beer O’clock!

 

 

Episode 126 – Organic Chocolate Stout

 

We go all out traditional this week with Samuel Smith’s Organic Chocolate Stout – a beer that we both tried while on one of the Dragon & Flagon Pub Tours in London.

While Mark has been a little poorly (#manup / #poormark), Steve goes a little crazy and in the news we chat about brewing at home using pods, books and the exciting news of the Manchester Beer Week.

This week’s #HopTopic hits a nerve with many of you, there’s a fairly obvious #prizelessprize and a bonus interview with Magic Rock Brewing and Tap Room.

It’s Beer O’clock!

Episode 124 – N7

This week we dive head first back into the big smoke with Hammerton Brewery’s N7 and the author of Total Ales, Matt Curtis.

We have news of our next live event ‘All Black’ to be held at Hop Burns and Black plus we discuss the recent takeover of SAB Miller by ABinBev.

The #prizelessprize goes back overseas and in #HopTopic we ask if pumpkin beers are really any good.

All this plus an interview with Lee Hammerton from, err, Hammerton Brewery!

It’s Beer O’clock!

 

 

Episode 123 – Snowball (and Indy Man)

 

This week’s show has loads of great reviews from the UK’s greatest beer gathering, Indy Man. We look back at the convention and talk to Myles Lambert, Paul Grant, Bob Maxfield, Carl Marshall, Roland Glew, Beer Farts and Claudia from Indy Man about the beers and their thoughts on the event.

Plus, we do actually review a beer this week – the chocolate, vanilla & coconut stout ‘snowball’ from The Waen Brewery.

There’s news and as you would expect, an Indy Man themed great big box of nothing in the #prizelessprize

It’s Indy Man O’clock!

Episode 122 – NZ Hopfen Weisse

 

This week we feature not one, but two beers from the Manchester-based Cloudwater Brew Co. Our feature beer is the NZ Hopfen Weisse from their Autumn range plus we also crack a US Hopfen Weisse from their Summer Range for comparison purposes. If that wasn’t enough Cloudwater for you, there’s also an epic interview with co-founder Paul Jones.

We also discuss exactly what a Hopfen Weisse is, the constant innovation of beer styles and in #HopTopic we ask what the term ‘IPA’ actually means now.

All this plus the usual news and the most epic #prizelessprize we’ll ever award.

It’s Beer O’Clock!

Episode 118 – Cwtch & 14|02

We’re back from our summer break with our biggest season ever and we’re celebrating with a double review episode!

This week we feature CAMRA’s Champion Beer of Britain, Tiny Rebel’s ‘Cwtch’ and Brew By Numbers 14|02 ‘Wai-iti Tripel’. If that wasn’t enough we’ve also got an interview with Tom from Brew By Numbers.

We review the highlights of our summer break, there’s a bumper news segment, #HopTopic returns and we give away the first big box of nothing in the #prizelessprize

It’s Beer O’clock!

Episode 117 – Tastes Like Beer

Our final summer special comes to you live from Hop Burns & Black (well, recorded there at least).

In our first ever live show in front of a group of beery friends we work our way through three beers – our very own white stout ‘Tastes Like Beer’, Gipsy Hill’s ‘Beatnik’ and Gosnell’s ‘London Mead’.

We were also joined by Charlie from Gipsy Hill, Tom from Gosnell’s and Jen & Glenn from Hop Burns & Black.

Massive thanks to all of those who joined us for the evening and to Jen & Glenn for letting us take over their store and for providing us with some great technical support on the evening.

Normal service resumes on Friday 11 September when we return with season 8.

It’s Beer O’Clock, LIVE!
