Suit up, grab a beer and join us for one of the greatest superhero movies of all time. This time we get stuck into Marvel’s Avengers Assemble as we work our way through a selection of beers that we’ve put together for this episode.
We tried to drink the beers in the most sensible(?!?) order, potentially linking them to the film at points…
Yellowbelly ‘Citra Pale Ale’ | Available from Honest Brew*
Summer Wine ‘Diablo’ | Available from all good bottle shops/online stores
Rodenbach ‘Grand Gru’ | Available from Beer Merchants
Weird Beard ‘Collabageddon 17’ | Limited release, probably not available any more
Unity ‘Amalgamation’ | Available from Honest Brew*
Tring ‘Death or Glory’ | Available from Tring Brewery
Weird Beard/Time & Tide | Limited release, probably not available any more
Signature Brew ‘Anthology’ | Available from Honest Brew*
Carlsberg ‘Special Brew’ | Available from all good corner shops, offies and park benches
*These beers were sent to us for free by Honest Brew but this hasn’t influenced our thoughts on them or on just how amazing Avengers Assemble and the entire Marvel Universe is.

Beers | Time and Tide & Weird Beard collab series ‘White Cell’, ‘Call Your Friends’ and ‘Crossing Over’

The track at the end of this week’s show is ‘Call Your Friends’ by Zebrahead and was the song that inspired Drew & Bryan to use the same name for one of these beers.
