The lads are back! This week we're covering a lot of ground — from holiday plans and politics to our questionable home wifi setups and the dream jobs we never landed. Grab a pint and settle in.

🍻 Beer of the Week: We're staying with our brewery tour of Unbarred, and this week we're cracking open Black Rock — a Bourbon-infused stout with some serious depth. Smooth, boozy, and full of character — find out what we thought.

Most of us are drowning in boring post and relentless customer service nightmares — so this week we tackle both. Thirty phone calls to British Gas and still no resolution? We've been there, and we'll tell you the law that might just save your wallet.

We also dive into ignored parking fines, a mysteriously empty postbox, and a bizarre Latter Day Saints leaflet that had us questioning the end times. Meanwhile, Martin works his way through an 11% barrel-aged chocolate and hazelnut stout that's as dangerous as it is delicious, and Dan weighs up whether Jeremy Clarkson is a national treasure or a complete buffoon — and whether Harry Kane is really as nice as he seems.

Pour a pint, tune in, and enjoy the most entertaining take on everyday chaos you'll hear this week.

This week, Dan and Martin crack open another cold one and tackle the big issues. MAMILs in Lycra — why are there so many of them, where did they come from, and who gave them permission to own the road? Then it's a deep dive into the soul-destroying world of parking fines — the dodgy signage, the two-minute overstays, and whether fighting them is ever actually worth it. And finally, British Gas. Oh, British Gas. If you've ever been on hold for 47 minutes only to be told your complaint has been 'escalated', this one's for you. Same pub chat. Zero resolution. Maximum catharsis. Beer is UnBarred Permit Rooom

In this milestone 100th episode, Dan and Martin celebrate in true Lager’s Off fashion — with beer, bizarre kitchen gadgets, summer survival hacks, and plenty of chaotic banter.

From spotlighting Brighton’s legendary Dank Juice brew to debating the usefulness of soft serve machines, sandwich toasters, and personal air conditioning, this episode is packed with laughs, questionable life advice, and surprisingly useful tips for surviving the summer heat.

Expect gadget talk, brewery chat, cooling techniques, DIY hacks, coffee machine debates, and the kind of conversations that somehow spiral completely out of control.

Whether you’re here for the beer recommendations, the kitchen gadget obsession, or just the nonsense, thanks for joining us for 100 episodes of The Lager’s Off Podcast. 🍺

This week the lads are settling in for a proper nostalgic one 🍺

We're taking a trip back to Saturday night telly in the 90s — the era of Noel Edmonds, Blind Date, and whatever madness the BBC and ITV were throwing at the wall. Was it golden age TV or glorified nonsense? We reminisce, we debate, and we definitely disagree.

We also dip into MasterChef — has it lost the plot, or is it still the greatest cooking show on telly? You know how that conversation goes...

Then it's time for another round of Bell End or Legend 🔔👑 — the game where reputations go to die. This week's picks are spicy. You have been warned.

And we wrap things up by finishing our Newbarns Brewery tour with a stout 🖤🍻 — is it a fitting send-off to the series or did we save the best till last? Tune in to find out.

🍺 The Lagers Off Podcast | Newbarns Brown Ale, The North-South Divide & A Proper 90s Nostalgia Trip

Martin and Dan are back, and this week they're continuing their deep dive into Newbarns Brewery — and this time, it's all about the brown ale. Does it live up to the name? Is it what you'd expect from one of Scotland's most talked-about craft breweries? The lads crack it open and give you their honest, unfiltered take. But that's not all. Things get slightly heated (in the best possible way) when the debate turns to one of England's great unsolved questions: where exactly does the North-South divide actually sit? Martin and Dan have opinions. Strong ones. You might agree, you might not — but you will have something to say about it. And then it's a trip down memory lane as the conversation drifts into the 90s — the music, the culture, the general vibe of it all — and how much things have changed since then. For better? For worse? Probably a bit of both. Pull up a chair, crack something cold open, and join the chat. 

This week on The Lager’s Off Podcast, Martin and Dan are back with another brilliantly chaotic episode 🍻

They dive into the wild world of parking fines (and the questionable logic behind them), share some love for the unsung heroes that are corner shops, and somehow end up discussing the very real possibility of crocodiles in hotel pools… because why not?

On the beer front, the lads continue their Newbarn's Brewery review series, this time cracking open the Ryder IPA — does it live up to the hype or leave them wanting another round?

Expect laughs, tangents, and a few strong opinions along the way.

Welcome back to The Lager’s Off Podcast! 🍻

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the colourful world of LEGO — from the sets we grew up with to how things have evolved over the years… and yes, we may or may not uncover the existence of a secret LEGO club 👀

Along the way, we also chat about Stephen Baldwin’s podcast and share our thoughts (expect a few laughs there), before getting stuck into some fresh beers from Newbarn's Brewery. On the tasting table this time: a rich double porter and a crisp pale ale — but which one comes out on top?

If you’re into LEGO nostalgia, good beer, and slightly questionable conversations, this one’s for you.

The van's open, the music's on, and somehow we've ended up in a heated debate about crisps. Classic. This week we're getting nostalgic — diving deep into the golden age of the food van, those legendary roadside and festival staples that somehow always hit different at the wrong time of day. We're talking dodgy locations, mystery sauces, and the kind of meals you'd never admit tasting twice (but absolutely did). Then things get serious. We're settling it once and for all — what are the greatest crisps and chocolate bars ever made? Opinions are strong, alliances are tested, and somebody is definitely wrong. Keeping us company through all of it are two cracking beers from Newbarns Brewery — this week's pours are the Screich and the Auld Ale. Both brilliant, both very drinkable, and both doing a lot of heavy lifting keeping this conversation civil.

The boys are back and things get messy in this Easter special episode…

This week, we’re taking on the ultimate festive challenge: 6 chocolate eggs + an 11% stout in just 30 minutes. From Creme Eggs to whatever else we could get our hands on, it’s sugar, stout, and questionable decisions from start to finish.

Was it a good idea? Absolutely not. Did we do it anyway? Of course.

Along the way, we dive into nostalgic Easter memories from the 90s – think classic egg hunts, over-the-top chocolate hauls, and the kind of childhood chaos that just hit different back then.
