BeerCasts – The BeerCast

BeerCast #42 – Grooben’s Choice. We run a democratic ship here on the BeerCast, so when panellist Grooben requested the chance to host a podcast, we unlocked his cage and let him out with the kitty. He came back with four beers, so we cobbled together a podcast. On the panel today, Shovels, Richard, and of course – Grooben.

BeerCast #41 – Pick n’ Mix (2). Our London panel return with another rollercoaster pick and mix surprise podcast episode – join Andy, Jess, Andrew and Nick for all kinds of rambling discourse – some of it even on the subject of beer…

BeerCast #40 - Dutch Beers – One of Europe’s most overlooked brewing nations – the Dutch are sandwiched between the purity-loving Germans on one side, and the monastic Belgians on the other. 95% of Dutch beer may be pale lager, but our panel proves that there can be some great beers to be found, if you only know where to look. Richard, Grooben and Andy head for the land of canals and windmills…

BeerCast #39 – Bières du Quebec Part 2 – CraigAS returns with second batch of beers from French-speaking Canada. Following on from the last podcast, we taste more Quebecois beers, from Scotch ales to a seriously hefty coffee infused imperial stout. As with podcast 38, the panel consists of CraigAS, Grooben, Shovels and Richard - big thanks to Craig for bringing the beers all the way back from Montreal.

BeerCast #38 – Bières du Quebec Part 1. BeerCaster CraigAS recently returned to the UK after living in Montreal for several years. Home to a thriving beer scene, Quebec has some really inventive brewers – and thanks to Craig we managed to sample a few. In fact he brought so many over we had to split the podcast into two parts. Grooben, Shovels and Richard join CraigAS for francophone fun – please be warned this podcast contains some truly awful French.

BeerCast #37 – Gone Bananas. We’re not sure if there’s ever been a banana-themed beer podcast on the internet before – but now there is. Our panel sample two banana beers and one that apparently has notes of the fruit in evidence. The other beer is totally random. Maybe that’s why there aren’t many podcasts themed around the bendy yellow fruit…on the panel today – Richard, Shovels, Andy and Jess.

BeerCast #36 – IPA Battle. Following our recent StoutOff, we retain the format of two British and two American beers – but turn our attention to IPA’s. This time the British entrants are equally as punchy as the American, and our panel of Richard, Shovels, MrB and Steve get to grips with a full-on hopfest.

BeerCast #35 – Not just any BeerCast. Our London panel take to the airwaves once again, having sourced some of the ‘own brand’ ales from Marks & Spencer. Brewed by some of the top producers in the country, these are badged as M&S ales and sold all over the country. Joining Andy and Jess are BeerCast first timers Nick and Kat. Unfortunately for an anchor, Andy was a touch far from the mic – but he is there!

BeerCast #34 – The StoutOff. Our second style show (following an old podcast about Scottish IPA’s) sees us turn to darker matters. We sample two British and then two American stouts, and compare the very different takes on the style. On the panel this time are Richard, Shovels, Grooben and the Hopmeister Tom – who seems to have finally met his match with the Imperial Stouts…

BeerCast #33 – Southwest…ish. BeerCaster Shovels recently picked up a selection of ales from the South West of England – except one of them was on the wrong shelf and hails from Surrey. We never let Geography get in the way of a few beers, so carry on regardless. Joining him for this podcast are Richard, Grooben, the returning Stuart and debutant Steve.
