Alright you beautiful bunch of beer-loving legends — The Bearded Beer Pod is back with a fresh new look, the same old theme tune, and a frankly lazy attitude towards making a new one.

In this month’s episode: I got barricaded in my office by a rogue beer delivery, bid a teary farewell to the final haul from a certain beer shop, and got emotionally flattened by the Custard Sessions at Edinburgh’s Blue Blazer. Expect fizzy AA batteries, flumpy DIPAs, a TIPA that nearly put me in a skip, and a few outrageously dodgy beer facts you never asked for.

Massive thanks to Brew 61 for a cracking care package and to Krafty Kirkcaldy for dangerously good hospitality.

So grab a cold one, whack this in your lugholes, and remember — the sun’s kinda out, the beer’s cold, and it’s good to be alive. Same jingle, fresh chaos.

Alright folks, we’re back for another round of The Bearded Beer Pod – your monthly sip of craft chaos, curious conversations, and top-tier bants.

This month’s episode comes with a heady mix of bitters and bittersweet. I return from a flavour-filled jaunt to Bristol, where King Street served up pints so fresh they practically introduced themselves. Expect shout outs to some cracking local spots and heartfelt appreciation for the magic being poured behind the bars down south.

But it’s not all sunshine and session IPAs – March brought its fair share of emotional hangovers too. A close call with redundancy and the sudden end of a meaningful friendship bring a deeper, more reflective tone to this episode. Sometimes it’s not just about what’s in the glass, but what’s weighing on your mind.

It’s February, the month of the Braw Beard & Moustache Championships, a month that may only have 28 days, but trust me, it crams in at least 45 days' worth of absolute shenanigans! Buckle up, because we’re diving headfirst into the world of wild beards, mind-blowing music, and some absolutely belting beers.

Well, July was a bit pish for the beers, so I've made the best of a bad lot and recorded a podcast anyway. Sorry.

I've totally not spun it out, either. Not sorry.

Check out Battle Beard and buy some shit.

Bearded Beer Pod ASMR Special: May-June 2024

Welcome, Bearded Beer Pod fans, to the most anticipated (or should we say, hop-ticipated?) episode of the year: our May-June 2024 ASMR special! Brace yourselves for a tantalizing symphony of sounds that will tingle your taste buds and tickle your auditory senses.

In this sudsy serenade, we dive headfirst into the fizzy fray with G’s infamous "Crack-a-Cold-One" opener, where each pop, hiss, and glug is amplified to frothy perfection. Feel the bubbles fizz and the carbonation caress your ears like never before!

Next, we transition into "The Whispering Yeast," where our resident fermentation enthusiast softly speaks the secrets of yeast strains and brewing techniques, all while lightly tapping on glass carboys and stainless steel fermenters. It's like a TED Talk, but way more intoxicating.

Don't miss "The Hops Rub," a segment dedicated to the gentle rustling of hop pellets between fingertips. The soothing crinkle will have you feeling like you’re floating in a field of hops on a breezy summer day. Ahhh, tranquility.

And for the grand finale, "Malted Melodies" offers a mouth-watering mashup of sounds from malting barley. Enjoy the rhythmic swish of grains in burlap sacks and the delicate clinking of malted barley being poured into the mill. It's a grainy groove guaranteed to get you in the brewing mood.

But wait, there's more! As always, there’s a twist: G was too lazy to write this himself and outsourced the job to an AI. Yup, he’s now in cahoots with SkyNet. Long live our new robot overlords!

So, sit back, relax, and let the Bearded Beer Pod ASMR special whisk you away to a hoppy haven. Cheers!
