This week we’re straight from a British Guild of Beer Writers event with the CAMRA Revitalisation Committee to talk about what’s next for CAMRA.

Beers | Bude Brewery ‘Haven’ amber ale, ‘Porthbud’ pale ale & ‘Black Rock’ porter

Hopinions | In today’s beer world, is CAMRA still needed?

Blogs | Myles talks FOMO, Beer Manchester considers his ‘local’ and Martin reviews ‘Around The Tube in 80 Pubs’

Prizeless Prize | The best picture ever from Steve, who finally wins his first big box of nothing

We’ve been sent these beers for free by the folk at Bude Brewery but this hasn’t influenced our thoughts on them.

Our latest Flavour of the Month with Little Leeds Beer house introduces a slightly revised format.

Now, you get to choose the beer we drink each month, and this month you chose Verdant Brewing Co’s ‘Roy, I Want A Hilux’ pale ale.

If you’ve had this beer, let us know your comments below or on Twitter.

This show is supported by Richard & Bryony from the Little Leeds Beer House. They’re great folk and they give us this beer for free, but that doesn’t affect our opinions the shop or the beer. If you’re ever in Leeds make sure to pop in, say hi and enjoy a beer in the wonderful surroundings of the Corn Exchange.

This week is the first part of the beer podcast crossover event of 2017 as we sit down with Ross & Tom from Beernomicon to talk through the first five Untappd Commandments.

Hopinions | This week’s question was courtesy of Mark (@millionbevs) – Does social media (inc Untappd) encourage unhealthy drinking to maintain social interaction?

Interview | We chat to Steve from Beer Nouveau about recreating old recipes and putting them in wood

Part II | Make sure to tune into Beernomicon to listen to the remaining Untappd Commandments

We are grateful to Steve for providing us his brewery tap room and the beers for this recording for free. This hasn’t influenced our thoughts on the beers that we featured.

As the aftershocks of #CaskGate continue to rumble on, this week we turn our attentions to the growing number of craft beer festivals in the UK.

Beer | Hawkshead/Cigar City ‘Tiramisu Imperial Stout’ & Siren/Cigar City ‘Barrel Aged Caribbean Chocolate Cake’

Hopinions | Is the UK reaching craft beer festival saturation point?

Blogs | Pete Brown, KM Flett, Connor Murphy & The Malting Floor

Prizeless Prize | Cask ale features heavily in this big box of nothing winning effort from Million Bevs

Letters | Our new listener-only letters (by which we mean tweets) section features contributions from @CraftBeerGeekUK, @SilanderGraham & @Katrinnas
