PLANETBEER.TV Podcasts

Woke fish, peachy hops, mummified cats and a discussion about how Carlsberg is systematically dismantling British brewing heritage. Roll up, roll up!

We're packed to the rafters this month. We've got an update on our plans for the Farm Trip interviews, a cracking selection of beers from Fast Fashion, and the return of Hops in Focus, where we put the relatively new Dolcita hop under the microscope with beers from Two Flints and CoolHead.

We also answer a Patreon question from our very own Luke Aldersley, about what actually gets us excited about new beer releases these days.

And then there's Carlsberg's UK Tour of Destruction. With more historic British breweries facing closure, we get stuck into what this means for the industry, the future of cask ale, and whether cask beer might actually need to die in order to survive. Unsurprisingly, we don't entirely agree.

All that, plus questionable holiday stories, Noel Edmonds, and the usual collection of conversations that really shouldn't be happening on a beer podcast.

It's all kicking off. In this episode, recorded after the quarter finals of our World Cup of Lager filming, we get a little silly in the Vault. We discuss Track's Welcome to the Neighbourhood festival, South America and we introduce our very first 'Friend of the Show'.

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.

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.
