In our penultimate studio show, we’re joined by long term friend of the show and serial guest, Justin Mason. He brings with him the classic Brouwerij Boon ‘Gueze Mariage Parfait’ for us to enjoy.

Plus the week’s beery news, loads of #Hopinions and another big box of nothing wings it’s way out of the door in the #prizelessprize

Our latest flavour of the month supported by Little Leeds Beer House is Magic Rock’s stunning triple coffee porter ‘Common Grounds’.

It’s Flavour of the Month!

This week we’re joined by more long suffering listeners as Bob & Sarah Maxfield are with us to review Fixed Wheel Brewery’s ‘Summer Smiles’ American Wheat Beer.

There’s the normal news, normal service is resumed with the #prizelessprize and another prickly subject is tackled in #hopinions.

This week it’s all about those homebrewers again! In what will now be our last ever Hombrew Special we are joined by Rob Woodland, Paul Hadfield and Rich Caller as they share their beers with us.

Rob gives us ‘Prime’ an American IPA with no bittering hops, from Paul we have single hopped saison ‘Springtime in Amarillo’ and Rich gives us ‘Dim and Peckish’, a barrel aged extra stout with added brett.

Plus we get the guys thoughts on the new Brewdog homebrew competition and there’s another #Hopinions.

Steve refuses to issue a #prizelessprize this week as he believes his picture should have won it so eventually settles on this one.

Once in a while the planets align and everything comes together, this week’s show was one of those times. When we first asked Rob Derbyshire from Hopzine to come on the season his first response was “only if we do something big and hoppy”. This week Cloudwater released V4 & V4 of their DIPA series and thanks to a series of interventions and the great folk at Little Leeds Beer House, we had the beers, Mark, Steve AND Rob all in the same room at the same time.

There’s barely room for the news, #Hopinions and the #prizelessprize but we managed to squeeze them in somewhere.

It’s Beer O’Clock!
