Boozer & The Brain

Kon’nichiwa, min’na! Welcome once again to the wonders of Japan; specifically, the wonders of that cosy, feathered little nest we call Hitachino. Today we’re going to be sampling the magnificently-named delights of DaiDai and Anbai, a couple of fruited beers of varying style from these cheeky sake brewing masters (who also quite enjoy brewing delicious beer from time to time

Oh. My. God. Yes, people. This is not a drill. It’s happening. It’s… ANOTHER TRAPPIST EPISODE! Aaaaaaaahhh! It’s time for us to delve deeply, delectably, and definitely not at all suggestively into the alluring line-up of Chimay Pères Trappistes - the brewing arm of Scourmont Abbey - as we taste three of their core range, taking in the Dorée/Gold, the 150, and the Red. It

Goodness me, we’re on a new brewery roll! What’s that? ANOTHER one?! Well, aren’t you lot spoiled, huh?! Today we’ll be enjoying a couple of beers by Left Handed Giant Brewing! Not only that - we’ve only gone and got hold of a couple of their 7th birthday beers! Why yes, thank you, a pat on the back would be lovely. So please do listen to us professionally* review This is

How many? 71?! Oh, my… ah. Wait. That’s the name of the brewery. Two actual beers. Ok then. Thank God. So anyway, welcome everyone to another brand new brewery episode! Woohoo! We’re really cranking those out at the moment; well done us. In this episode we’ll be hoping not to hit a sour note with two beers from 71 Brewing’s Fruition series: Blackcurrant Apple Crumble and

Into the wild blue Yonder we go! It’s a new brewery episode - hooray! - and what’s more, both of the beers are collabs - hooray! From Somerset’s own Yonder Brewing we present to you Tropical Gose (with show favourites New Bristol) and Ritual Union (with aptly-named coffee grindery, Girls Who Grind Coffee). Right, that’s all the pertinent information out of the way, you’ll

I’ll give you three clues to guess today’s brewery: 1. Sussex. 2. Small. 3. Batch. Oh, bugger, I’ve given it away there, haven’t I? Yes, it’s an always-welcome return for one of our mutual favourites today, our absolute top pick of all the small batch dessert stout specialist breweries from Sussex! It’s a surprisingly large field… (Ed. No, it isn’t, stop being silly

There was a cerulean darkness rolling in from the stormifying sea… a lone voice echoed across the mist, screeching out bone-chilling tones of doom as her ethereal form swept, hauntingly glowing, through the gathering night towards the shore… also, she was carrying some beers with her… it was THE WHITE HAAAAAG! Yeah, anyway, so we’ve got three Irish beauties for your aural d

Hooray, it’s time to Play! And goodness knows, today we are connecting with our inner children, because this is the Tooth Fairy’s dream: the veritable diabetes-in-a-can that is the Gingerbread & Rainbow Choc Frosted Sugar Vanilla Stout is followed up by the nostalgia-tastic Cereal Milk & Chocolate Marshmallow and Coconut Beer. Who could say no to that?! Well, only grown

NEW BREWERY TIME! Christ, I love these… it gives some meaning to my existence! Today we’re exploring DEYA as they inform us that I Do This All the Time - good for them - and that they are Saturated in Strata. Which sounds like a euphemism. No, bad Brain, no! Naughty!

Oh no. We’re about to have a puntastic prelude again, aren’t we?! Yes, unfortunately we’re reviewing Staggeringly Good again as we sample their wares: I Didn’t Ask for a Monster (I see - are you alright?), Bloo Goo Roo Wrecker (seriously now, are you ok?!) and Un-Bongo Wrecker (right, well that’s just plagiarism, isn’t it?!). Here we go… *sigh*... brace yourselves…
