This episode's guest is Robert Wicks, Founder, Owner and Head Brewer at Kent's Westerham Brewery.  We talk about using the finest ingredients, their beers, the brewery's history and Robert answers Weird Beard Rob's Rhinos & Tigers question - with a name drop of a Tennis legend!  All of this while drinking three of Westerham's fantastic beers.   Then there's Beer News, this week covering the Subscription Boxes and Advent Calendars out there; and the Top 5 becomes Top 10 this week - so many great beers that I felt some couldn't be omitted! Grab a beer, put your feet up and enjoy (unless you're driving, of course!!)

Packed episode this week!  I talk to Rob from West London's Weird Beard Brewery, and we drink three of their fantastic beers.  There's the normal Beer News and Top 5 features, as well as a little quiz for fun! I also talk about playing the online Escape Room game The Cyphstress, which is based around Siren Craft Brew's beers! 

In today's episode I speak with Brew York's Head Brewer, Lee Brabham, about their expansion, their beer names and can designs - one of which has had to be withdrawn recently! - and Lee's favourite beers.  All this while we drink a few of their excellent beers.  There's also the latest Beer News and my Top 5 beers of the last couple of weeks.  Enjoy!

By popular demand, here's the full 1 hour 45 mins conversation with the guys from Marble.  It was great fun to record, I hope you all enjoy listening to it as much!  Get yourselves a few beers and press play!

I speak with Joe Ince and 3 of his colleagues at Manchester based brewery, Marble.  Joe sent a lot of great beer in advance and we went through 5 of these beers during the podcast - some of them VERY strong!  This led to a LOOOOONG conversation.  Of course, I've edited it down to standard length, but have received a few messages asking me to post the whole thing.  So in a couple of days time, I'll release a (virtually) unedited cut!  Its great fun, lots of topics are covered and the beers were great!!

What a packed episode!  I speak with James from London Beer Factory and we discuss their beers, their history and what they plan to do for the future, as well as the success of their line in Tesco.  James also tells me what his 3 Desert Island Beers are! As well as chatting with James, I was also out and about (yeah, I know right?!) and visited the Bristol taprooms of Bristol Beer Factory (no relation) and Wild Beer Co, as well as the Brewery tap of Welsh craft giants, Tiny Rebel!  I recorded those visits and include them in the episode.  There's also Latest Beer News, a round-up of beers I've had over the last couple of weeks and details of my visit to the Siren brewery too!  Phew!!  Get listening!!

My guest today is Alex from North Brewing Co, which is based in Leeds.  Alex is Brand Ambassador and tells us all about the brewery's history and a little about their future.  We drink some of their beers and discuss beer in general. I also introduce a couple of new features - a little round-up of the beers I've been drinking, and some news from the beer scene!

In this week's episode I talk to award-winning beer writer Melissa Cole.  The conversation covers a whole load of things from her current go-to breweries, the improvement in low/no alcohol beers, pairing food with beer, cricket ... and much more!

We're talking with the guys from Amity Brew Co, Leeds' brand-new brewery and brewpub!  I'm joined by the brewery's co-owner Russ Clarke, and the Head Brewer, Greig Swanson.  We talk about their core range beers (as we taste them!), their brand new brewpub, their inspirations - Mikkeller get a big mention! - and their experience up until now!  Pour a beer, sit back and listen!
