September 25, 2015 / / 0 Comments

It’s another double episode this week as we take on Wild Card Brewery’s Jack of Clubs Ruby Red and Queen of Diamonds IPA. Plus there’s an interview with the girls behind Wild Card Brewery.

It’s a slow news week, so in the news we reveal a season 8 new beer and in #HoptTopic we ask “what’s the most you’ve paid/would be willing to pay for a beer?”

There’s a return to form in the #prizelessprize and we preview our Crimbo Crawl.

Episode 101 – Rua

March 27, 2015 / / 0 Comments

 

This week we once again turn our tastebuds towards Ireland, with the latest installment of our Irish craft scene coverage.

We try Bru Brewery’s Rua along with Wayne & Janice from the Irish Beer Snob.

Despite a bout of manflu #PoorMark survives a show where we discuss Can Gate, we give our co-hosts news that they didn’t know and Wayne does a live blend.

Unable to separate them we award two winners in this week’s #prizelessprize which can be seen here & here.

Don’t forget to grab your Irish beer o’clock show box from Drinkstore so you can experience the great beers we’re sampling this season.
