EPISODE 123: CONCRETE BLUES

//

I met Al Upshaw from Concrete Blues at Beak's These Hills Festival in August. I was bowled over by his beer, and asked him to be a guest on the podcast, which he agreed to. So here is the resulting conversation.

Also featured on the podcast:

• A round up of best Beer books of 2025 for your Christmas wishlists
• Details of the beers of Collabageddon 2025 and where to find them
• Siren's latest beer/movie tie-in for Predator: Badlands
