We threatened it would be back, and here it is.

We were so excited to bring it back, we decided to celebrate the occasion by recording it on location at the Hop Vault. As ever, we ramble our way through a series of topics, from Hop City to new-found hobbies, industry news to seeking out celebrity endorsements.

So grab a couple of cans and kick back, because we've not held back with this one. If this episode was a beer, it'd probably be a DDH Triple IPA from Hop City. Big, indulgent, slightly excessive, and absolutely not trying to fit into a sensible session.

ENJOY!

00:00 Welcome Back to the Fantasy Beer Name Podcast

After months of podcasting silence, we thought we'd do a bit of a warm-up episode to dust off those rambling skills. And, well... mission accomplished, because over a couple of DIPAs from Deep Fried Beers, the conversation takes a swan dive off the top turnbuckle onto a table of drawing pins.

Enjoy.

We forgot to answer a question in the last podcast, so we've taken this episode to its illogical conclusion - a Dungeons & Dragons style mini-campaign.

Along the way, we ramble over a new brewery to us, a style we've never tried before, and we discuss Pete Brown's 8 best breweries in the UK.

Here it is! The Christmas Special and all the trimmings that come with it. We talk about our year, through the lens of our Beers of the Year, and we drink some potential contenders for the top spot too.

We're back to talk about about sex offenders on milk cartons, the new changes to Untappd, prosthetic dongs and Chris gives Paul a memory test.

In the third round of Farm Trip sessions from Rivington, we've got Messorem from Canada, Ophiussa from Portugal and Makemake from Portsmouth, England. A real mash up of booze and cultures.

While the Fantasy Beer Name Podcast takes a mid-season break, we’re bringing you something special from the PlanetBeerTV vaults. The Farm Trip Speed Dating Sessions were recorded at Rivington’s annual beer festival, where we caught up with some incredible breweries from around the world.

Each episode features three unfiltered conversations about beer, creativity, and staying fresh in a crowded craft scene.

An episode named in honour of the late, great Prince of Darkness (and Aston), Ozzy Osbourne. We resurrect Steve Power's The Doom Bar for a dissection of the Birmingham drinking scene and financial misfires for BrewDog. Chris also tells some tales from the Toon. All aboaaaard!

Jonny Garrett, beer writer and co-founder of The Craft Beer Channel, finds himself humorously detained in our secret underground facility… all because of a controversial beer opinion that could enrage "Guinn-fluencers" everywhere.

In the very first episode of our new series, Jonny talks us through his Death Row beers - each one tied to a personal story, cherished moment, or formative memory. We also talk about Jonny’s important campaign to get Cask Ale listed as Intangible Cultural Heritage.
