Hopinions 168 “Beer Cocktails”

In this bonus episode, Martin & Steve have fun trying some beer cocktails

Lagerita | Tequila, lime juice, orange juice & Desperados

Raspberry Beer Mojito | Cabal No 1513 Aged Rum, lime, mint & Bacchus Frambozenbier

Campari IPA | Campari, orange juice & Lagunitas IPA

Espresso Stout Martini | Waitrose/Heston Lazy Espresso Martini (pre-mix) & Guinness original

 

Many thanks to the folks at Harpalion Spirits for sending us the Cabal No 1513 to try. Although this was gifted to us and a good percentage of it has found it’s way into Steve’s Christmas Cake, this hasn’t influenced our thoughts on how tasty it is.

Many thanks to Sean (@uncruliar), Brett from Unbarred and Tom from Lagunitas for sending us beer to try for free on the show, this didn’t influence our thoughts.

Many thanks to the folks at Lagunitas for sending us The Waldos’ Special to try for free, this didn’t influence our thoughts on the beer. Thanks also to Liquorice in Shenfield for letting us use their tasting room to record this week.
