The Centre Cut

As the weather gets lighter and brighter, we’re chatting about incredibly strong bourbon whiskey, the effect that sitting in a car for six hours can have on your energy, and the announcement of our return to Rascals Brewery for another cracker of an event this May.

Pablo returns. For those of you who know, you know.

For any of you bright beautiful bunch who dont, Pablo is our Alien friend who pops in from time to time to help convey a point or simply strip the waffle and bullshit away from sometimes complicated topics, sometimes he shows up just to give us a 'Ah we never realised that before' moment.

Ger Garland is currently the Global Ambassador for Keeper’s Heart Irish + American Whiskey. Previously, he spent two decades representing the brands of Irish Distillers.

We owe a lot to Ger, both personally and professionally. He is someone we hold in extremely high regard, and it’s a joy to finally have him join us on the pod.

Happy post-Paddy’s Day to you, sweet friend! On today’s podcast, we’re exploring beer that you’re not allowed to drink until the mountain turns blue, the meditative impact of simply sitting in a chair and looking out a window, and the importance of demanding something from the relationships that matter most to you. Love to you all—stay blessed.

Hey there, friend! Today, we're having a little ramble about the current state of the world—particularly the atmosphere around tariffs and what they could mean for Irish whiskey and the drinks industry.

Happy day to you! Today, we’re joined by Aishling Moore, Head Chef and Owner of Goldie Restaurant in Cork City. Aishling is also a talented author and columnist for the Irish Examiner. We've wanted to chat with her for some time now—not only because of her incredible energy but also because she is, without a doubt, one of the most exciting chefs in the Irish food scene today.

Ever heard of the Norman Hole? It might sound spicy, but don’t worry—it’s just another fascinating French cultural practice we love the idea of. Meanwhile, Matt completely failed to defend modern Dublin against his Corkonian friend, relying on a lovely (but completely irrelevant) storytelling night. Come hear all about it!

It’s Wednesday, companions! Today on the podcast, we took a chance to talk about our evolving drinking habits over time, the Irish and British approach to having a sup on holiday, and how whiskey tends to bleed onto social media.

Have you ever gone somewhere intending to do something other than have a drink, but ended up having a drink anyway?

After last week's chat with Jack McGarry, we wanted to slow things down a bit and share some recent thoughts, including an evolution of our view on Changing Times Brewery, Dublin's high-end dining scene (€€€€), and the top-tier city that is Belfast.
