We’re back from a few weeks off with a mammoth show  where we chat about what we got up to during our break and have a look at the latest news.

Beers | Fyne Ales ‘Nice’, ‘Naughty’, ‘Ragnarok’ and ‘Mills & Hills’

Hopinions | Following Sam Smiths ban this week, what do you think to swearing in pubs?

Prizeless Prize | Back with a first time winner with this picture from The Beer Beard Guy

Blogs | Read about Martin’s trip to Beerz in Cherbourg here

We were given these beers for free from the folks at Fyne Ales but this hasn’t impacted on our thoughts of them. Check out information and ticket details for Fyne Fest here.

In this special episode, Steve & Myles Lambert are joined by The Ale Lady at Thornbridge Brewery for a tasting of ‘Lukas’, ‘Raindrops on Roses’, ‘Kipling’, ‘Am:Pm’ and ‘Mango Halcyon’ with Ben from the brewing team.

This was part of the Big Beery Night 16 auction lot that Myles & Steve won an included a tour of Thornbridge Hall and the Riverside Brewery.

Information on public tours of the Riverside Brewery are available here.

Although the beers and visit were part of the lot that we won, Simon and the team at Thornbridge showed us an amazing level of hospitality for which we are very grateful. None of this impacted on our thoughts of the experience, although the pint of cask Jaipur in the Riverside Bar was possibly one of the best beers ever poured.

It’s our season finale… Martin recaps a recent trip to Coventry and Steve gets a bit angry about Brewdog. Again.

We also get our geek on and spend a LOT of time talking about Marvel & DC’s cinematic/television universes
