Episode 115 – Mash Tun No 1

 

Happy Birthday to us! We’re 3 years old and in the first of our summer specials for this year we celebrate our birthday with a very special beer, Shepherd Neame’s ‘Mash Tun No 1’.

If that wasn’t enough, we’ve also got serial guest Justin Mason to share the beer with us and we’ve got loads of birthday messages from our legion of fans.

There’s a very special #prizelessprize and we look forward to the other specials we’ve got coming this summer.

It’s Beery Birthday O’Clock!

This week we’re joined by Beer O’Clock Show’s #1 Fan, @Stath79 – aka Antony – for a tasting of a Shepherd Neame classic – Spitfire! How will Steve handle such a full-tasting experience with *two* of his protege’s sitting as his feet, awaiting his wisdom? Listen and find out.

Coupled with our usual beery chatter and reflection, it’s Beer O’Clock!
