In our first episode of 2015 we explore the different nuances that come from the way beer is packaged. As an excuse to get Doc back on the show, we blind taste Doctor's Orders Brewing's Zephyr and Prescription 12 from both growler and his recently released bottles to see if we can tell which is which.

On this year's holiday special, we talk about what we plan to be drinking this summer and on Christmas day specifically. We also make a wishlist but don't bother checking it twice.

Brad subs in for Liam in a discussion about recent (and not-so-recent) beer news, beer in the media, and beer metaphors.

We drink and discuss our favourite dark beers.

In this episode, we complain about sexism, craft beer cliques, poor beer handling by venues, the importance of passionate staff, the overhyping of some beers and hipster beer fads

We spoke with Leo and Brooks from NOMAD about their backgrounds, the challenges of opening a brewery on the other side of the world and their future plans at NOMAD.

This week we went up to NOMAD Brewery, and had a chat with Johnny and Kerry from Experience IT, the importer/distributor behind the brewery.

This week's guest is Hendo, the mastermind behind BrewCult.

Homebrewing is this week's topic as we are joined by Jez and Sam Fletcher, two thirds of homebrew outfit Jabberwock.
