Four friends united by a shared love of beer and a lack of knowledge, on a mission to educate themselves to at least a pre-school standard. This is the podcast to listen to if you have curiosity for beer but don't know your hop from your elbow! Join us as we learn from master brewers, bumble our way…
This week Paddy rummages in his suitcase and produces an Eastern European surprise. Once again we are joined by an expert who is so good he can taste beers remotely!
This week we are joined by friend-of-the-show and founder of Maverick Brewing Co. Hod, who adds far too much know-how to proceedings for our liking. Hod delivers us a cold beer and swings by zoom to tell us his news.
Yes it's true, it's happening! Finally this weekend, Pubs will re-open! But not as we knew it before. We are joined by an actual independent pub landlord, Dom Humphries, to talk through innovation, plans, rules and regulations in the post-lockdown world.
In this episode we drink the mainline beer from the Somerset brewing powerhouse, Wild Beer Co. Being a native Somersetonian', you'd think that Tom would know what Bibble means... We also give pointless opinions on how pubs may open on 4th July
In this episode there is only one thing to talk about, civil war battle fields! How does that relate to beer? Well.. loosely, but we make it work! This week we drink a staple southern bitter that is both nostalgic and current.
As the reality bites that we have been poor Zoom users, we look to make amends by putting together a podcast that actually flows from section to section...? Really? Don't worry, it won't last! Tom also has a quilt in his house that looks like Bagpuss!
Finally, after weeks of lockdown, the pod brothers have managed to get together to have a beer! Feels good to be back! As we try and dip our toes back into podcasting, we share our lockdown beer treasures, normal shambolic service resumed!
Back in the studio with some citrus vibes this week. Chris returns to his legendary boring lists. Paddy and I get accused of doing boring reviews, and at least one of the beers is pretty dull. Luckily there are always the facts to sex up the show up!

We are live at the greatest beer festival around! Tom and Chris prowl the hall, bothering as many friends as possible to cobble together a show. Unusually for a live show we stay coherent until the end!

This show is timeless, recorded in a time with no Coronavirus or EU Trade Deals! The Pod Brothers try some beers transported by Her Majesty's Navy all the way from Norway. Cheers Derek!

This week we drink three gifts from our lovely friend of the show Marielle. There must be some magic in the ancient beer recipes because we end up giggling our way through an increasingly random episode.

Join us as we record live at our AGM. We can remember the beginning of this recording but not the end. Hopefully it has a coherent ending. Either way it was a cracking afternoon, evening, night!

Its superbowl night at Paddy’s house and the boys have turned up early for a late night party. We crack open the American beers and have major disagreements about what kind of beer the beer is

It’s another mini show whilst we are on our Christmas break. In this show Chris bullies us, makes us seem like we are Victorian capitalists and is basically very mean. We also drink an empowering Champagne Yeast Brut Pale Ale.

In the name of science we create a ton of washing up by drinking tiny tiny amounts of one beer from multiple glasses. A logical conclusion is found and we review the tiny tiny sips we have just shared.
