Fantasy Beer Name Podcast

The boys are finally on tour! Join Chris and Paul at Rivington HQ on the first night of Farm Trip 2024, as Paul prepares to check in his 5000th unique beer on Untappd.

But what’s with all this talk of exercise and charity? Why are Chris’s nipples bleeding? Can we find somebody from Rivington to do a quick interview? And how easy is it to segue from the Star Wars theme tune into Superman? 

All this… and more. 

Beer lineup:

- Gone Fishin’ (Weekend Project)

- Drafting (Baron x GRID Beer Project)

- Whale Watching (Weekend Project)

It's the Fantasy Beer Name Podcast's 1st birthday, so we're pulling out all the stops and doing a little drinking challenge. Chris and Paul will be drinking 100 shots of their favourite pale ales in 100 minutes. During which time they'll be interviewing each other with random questions curated by Paul's wife, Hannah.

We all know DEYA for being one of the leading hazy pale breweries in the UK, but there's more to the Cheltenham haze merchants than meets the eye. We met up with Head Brewer, Gareth for a walk around the brewery, an in-depth chat and to see how they've adapted their original brew site into a Mixed Fermentation project.

A podcast version of our second YouTube live stream. Chris and Paul start with a couple of Welsh beers from Wild Horse Brewing and Polly's Brew Co before meandering off into other topics like a stream piddling down the side of Mount Snowdon. No less than 3 DIPAs are consumed, while we indulge in high street conspiracies, chat with some loyal subscribers, tell stories from our recent trip to DEYA in Cheltenham and more.

You can watch the stream back over at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H0CAbXpDDI - but really, now the podcast version is here, why would you want to look at us?

**PLEASE NOTE: this episode is an audio rip from the live stream, where we were both sat around one mic. While we've done our best to give the sound a bit of a clean, this episode won't be up to the usual production values. Thanks for listening!

The Fantasy Beer Name Podcast returns for 2024. A double serving of Baron’s 10% TIPA is all that’s needed to grease the wheels; as Chris and Paul discuss recent trips to Nottingham and Amsterdam, and the channel’s debut live stream. In Steve Power’s The Doom Bar, they discuss the Carlsberg-Mikkeller deal and North Brew’s recent upheaval. This is all punctuated with tales of drunken scooter trips and fledgling careers in porn.  

Beer lineup:

- Too Much TIPA (Baron Brewing)

- Putty 2024 (Verdant)

- Farmhouse Belgian Saison (Vibrant Forest)

This week, we wheel out the Guest Mic and put Olly from Brewser in front of it. As well as joining in with Chris and Paul’s inane beery jibber jabber, he also talks about Brewser’s most ambitious project yet and shares some fun little insights and anecdotes from behind the scenes (and some exclusives). We lube the wheels with a Verdant x Floc DIPA and a 13% Barley Wine from Chapter Brewing.

In the fantasy ad break, Olly provides sidehustling beer geeks the perfect beverage for a hectic lifestyle.

Don’t be fooled by the teaser.. This week, we do have our most serious beer talk yet. In part one, some unfinished fantasy beer name business is concluded, Chris reveals how close we came to missing an episode and our next brewery trip is revealed. Then in part two, we have a bumper edition of the Misery Corner (aka Steve Power’s Doom Bar) where Paul gives us the inside story on his recently closed bottle shop & the trials and tribulations faced in the beer retail industry. Expect some serious insights with moderate levity.
