In this post-Crimbo Crawl episode we try to cover everything from the busiest week of news as well as take a look back at our day out in Sheffield.

No beers to talk about, no polls to cover, just three blokes chatting in a pub…

This week we’re rocked by the fact that we recorded a show under a hour!

Beers | Wild Weather Ales ‘First Person Fruiter’, ‘Peach of a Weekend’, ‘Breakfast at Sciliy’s’ and ‘Skadoosh’

Hopinions | In the modern UK beer market do breweries need their beers in cans to stay in the game?

Many thanks the folks from Wild Weather Ales for sending over a selection of beers for us to try for free. This didn’t influence our thoughts on the beer. Thanks also to Liquorice in Shenfield for letting us use their tasting room to record this week.

This week we dive into the Fullers & Friends box of beers, get stuck into loads of news and take a look back at our first 50 shows.

Beers | Fullers & Hardknott ‘Peat Souper’, Fullers & Fourpure ‘Galleon’, Fullers & Marble ‘Matariki’, Fullers & Cloudwater ‘NE IPA’, Fullers & Thornbridge ‘Flora & The Griffin’, Fullers & Moor ‘Rebirth’ and Fullers ‘Vintage Ale 2016’

Hopinions | As it’s that time of year where we find ourselves in venues not serving drinks of our choosing, what do you drink when there’s no decent beer on?
