The Moon Under Water

It's Christmas here in the Correct Realm, which means it's time for The Moon Under Water Christmas Party. Yes, Landlord John is ready to down his tools and invite his staff (himself) to their yearly celebration - and because Robin has been helping out a bit on the bar recently he's allowed to come too. As the old saying goes: "Two's company, three's a Christmas party within your mind", so we thought it only right to bring a very special guest along for the festivities. Let's just say she knows a thing or two about pints!

As well as discussing the year gone by, the gang get their taste buds around some beers and non-alcoholic brews! If you want to drink along, the beers tasted are: Anspach & Hobday's Pfeffernüsse Stout, Cloudwater Brew Co. Super Happy Christmas Pale Ale, Big Drop Brewing Co. Galactic Milk Stout, Low Tide Beer Co. Our Future Is Golden, and Gunner.

Merry Christmas one and all, and we'll see you in the New Year. Look after yourselves.

After last week’s brief intermission we’re back, and Robin is felling as fit as a fiddle! And what better way to celebrate his return than by discussing secret member’s clubs and hot toddy recipes! Plus, the guys go through your Mist Mail.

For many of us the pub is a place where friendships are created and strengthened, with the humble pint serving as the perfect canvas for a conversation about all manner of topics. But what if those conversations lead to something a bit more, and a kiss ends up being on the cards? Well, in the past one thing might have led to another and you might end up with a snog... but when was the last time anyone snogged?! It's a travesty, and this week's guest on a campaign to 'Bring Back Snogging'. It's stand-up comedian and writer Alexandra Haddow!

Alexandra (@alexandrahaddow) is one of the hottest prospects in UK comedy, has toured up and down the country, and hosts Dulwich Hamlet Comedy every month as well as Alex vs. Men at Vauxhall Comedy Club every Monday. She's also been running her own indie music night since 2008 (check out @indie.amnesty). But like a select few guests we've had at The Moon Under Water she's also spent many a moon working behind bars, and knows what it's like dealing with the inner workings of the pub. We cannot wait to hear what her dream pub will look like!

Music plays an important role in pubs. Not only can it help set the right tone, it can also become the focal point of a night; especially if there's someone with musical expertise standing behind a set of decks. If you were to turn up to a pub and this week's guest was digging through her record crates then you'd know you're DEFINITELY in for a good time. Making their way into The Moon Under Water is DJ and broadcaster Deb Grant!

Deb regularly presents on Jazz FM and 6 Music, and can often be found DJing in some of London's coolest joints. And as a Dublin native she was lucky enough to grow up in one of the greatest pub cities in existence. But that doesn't mean her dream pub will include blaring music and pint after pint of Guinness; it might end up being something completely different... as we're sure you're about to find out.

We've all seen the familiar sight of a tray of sandwiches resting on the bar, wrapped up snugly in cling film, waiting to be devoured by anyone who seeks nourishment. But have you ever thought to yourself "Hmm, I wonder what sort of sandwich would be on the bar of a pub in 1856?" Well, you might be about to find out, because this weeks guest is an expert in all things butty. It's social media phenomenon and all round good egg Barry Enderwick... otherwise known as Sandwiches of History!

Barry his built up a huge social media following by creating sandwiches from the past and seeing if he can "plus" them up. His creations of often quite odd, but every now and then he'll find a gem. But aside from Sandwiches of History he also runs a whole host of accounts: @inthechipswithbarry, @barrysicecreamoclock, @barryiscookingagain and @craftbeerbarry. They're all wonderful, and hopefully his dream pub will be just as much of a delight!
