While one of us nurses a slightly sore head, we’re joined by guest drinker Paul Grant to chat about our current fear of missing out on new beers

Beers | SIgnature Brew ‘Nightingale’, ‘All Together’ & ‘Pink Vinyl’

Hopinions | Over the last few months how have you been feeling about new beer releases?

Fantasy Pub Crawl Europe | Early Bird | Session 1 | Session 2 | Session 3

Many thanks to Signature Brew for sending us some beers to try on the show. Although these were gifted to us this didn’t influence our thoughts.

Bond. James Bond. We take on an absolute cult classic from the 70’s with Martin taking geekery to a new level and talking facts throughout the entire film. The beers that we enjoyed for this show were…

Thornbridge / Cigar City ‘Jai Jai’

Arundel ‘Clockwork NEIPA (Mosaic & Idaho7)’

Innis & Gunn ’15 Barrel Aged DIPA’*

Brasserie Dupont ‘Saison Dupont Cuvee Dry Hopping (2017)’

Weird Beard ‘Heavy Fuel’

Ampersand ‘Experiments in Evil (Whisky BA 2018)’

Northern Monk / Legitmate Industries ‘Raspberry & Pinot Noir Barrel Aged Quad’

*This was sent to us by Innis & Gunn but this hasn’t influenced our thoughts on it or how much Bond’s cheesy one liners get much worse with age.
