Welcome to Episode 2 of Pints of View. This week Pete and Cliff polish off Kingfisher (and moan lovingly about Budvar again), debate whether brown or green bottles are better for your pint, and veer wildly into curry culture, pop-culture rants and space oddities. Expect honest tasting notes, brewery chat, northern/southern word wars and the sort of tangents that only happen down the pub.
If you’re into beer reviews, British humour, curry chat and surprise detours into space and TV, this episode’s for you. Pete brings brewing know-how; Cliff brings Yorkshire common sense; both bring the banter.
What we discuss:
Beer: Kingfisher tasting, plus follow-up notes on Budvar.
Brown v green bottles — does colour ruin your beer?
Top 10 countries to live for expats — where would you go?
Costa del Crime (a sun-soaked rant)
The “Phal” curry and Cliff’s dad’s prolific curry-cooking legacy — what’s the best curry dish?
Nerd tangent: 3i Atlas, Voyager and Planet Nine (astrotalk)
TV & film: Andor, The Nanny (Fran Drescher), Spinal Tap, The White Lotus, Trainspotting, and our take on 28 Years Later. Wikipedia
Food oddities: tripe soup, fish & chips follow-up
Music, culture and chaos: Shakira, BBC complaints and the Panama Canal (because why not?)

Let's raise our first pint!
Welcome to Pints of View! In Episode 1 Pete and Cliff review Budvar (from the only brewery owned by the Czech government), talk cans v bottles, beer history and the decades-long trademark spat with Anheuser-Busch and the famous US Budweiser. Expect proper beer chat — malt, mouthfeel and hops — plus the kind of pub banter that spirals into:
words southerners don’t understand,
Game of Thrones and the Sean Bean effect,
fish & chips etiquette, and
an odd detour into the 3i Atlas comet.
and much more!
If you love beer reviews, craft beer, real ale, brewery stories or British humour and banter, this episode’s for you. Pete brings brewing know-how; Cliff brings Yorkshire common sense; between them they bring the arguments, the laughs and the occasional surprising fact. Cheers!
