45 min - It's The Drink Talking 23: Christmas beers
In the final podcast of 2017, the trio once again meet up in the Museum Of Comedy, in Holborn, to chew over the week's booze news. Sam starts with Spit Or Swallow, one of which is a rooftop vineyard and the other's a wine-tasting case. Ben is in charge of the tasting, so has a trio of top beers he thinks will be divine for dinner this Christmas; from pre-meal to the cheese course. And Tom rounds things off with another Legend Of Liquor; a man who was both a Nobel prize winner and a somewhat unconventional fisherman.

34 min - It's The Drink Talking 21: Liquors
This week, Ben, Sam and Tom present their premier podcast from the Museum of Comedy in Holborn, which is not only a museum but also a venue and bar and is littered with comedy ephemera and memorabilia. And in this episode, Ben takes the lead, so selects a Spit and a Swallow; pub toilets and Sadiq Khan come in for scrutiny. You'll have to listen to find out more. Tom takes a tasting, and selects a couple of more unusual (but delicious) liquors for Christmas. And Sam lionises another Legend Of Liquor, this time the most qualified wine expert alive today.

39 min - It's The Drink Talking 20: Fuller's & Friends.
In the latest instalment of the very best booze podcast, Sam takes the lead and chooses two things to Spit or Swallow. One is a new range of ice drinks and the other is the quite frankly bizarre concept of adult ball-pits. Ben's tasting is a selection of Fuller's And Friends - their new collaboration with 6 other British beer brewers. And for his Legend Of Liquor, Tom raises a toast to a man who's spent his whole working life making gins.

37 min - It's The Drink Talking 19: Pinot Noir
In our latest thrilling instalment, it's Tom's turn to Spit Or Swallow and he takes on pub snacks and a South African church that welcomes drinkers with open arms.

And Ben lionises another Legend Of Liquor, this time the pioneer of Pilsner. Cheers.

In this latest episode of the definitive drinks podcast, Ben gets to take the lead with his Spit Or Swallow; this week he mulls over pubs versus coffee shops and why monks are set to begin brewing beer again in Britain.
