There's something mystical about the regional variations of beer. You walk into a pub far from home, and you're presented with something that's as unique as it is tasty. It might be a special mix, it might be in a special glass... maybe you have to kiss a fish before being allowed to drink (CC. Angela Barnes). This week's guest LOVES a regional beer, and he also knows a thing or two about brewing: it's Reece Hugill, founder of Donzoko Brewing!

Like may brewers Reece comes from a chemistry background, which means he's studied beer on an atomic level. He loves everything about beer, and takes pride in making sure that every aspect of his creations is perfect. And as for regional beers? Well, you're about to learn about some of the most interesting drinks available in the Other Realm...

Those of you who tuned in last week would have heard the tale of a pub appearing to Robin... but he couldn't remember if it was imagined or not. Well, today the tale comes to an end; but is it a happy one?

Landlord John and Robin line up on the 22m line at The Moon Under Water. A voice cries "Crouch... bind... set... PINTS" before the two of them battle it out to gain control of the last pint of Guinness at The Moon Under Water. This isn't the usual way they decide who gets the final drink of the night; but it may come in very handy when this week's guest arrives. It's professional rugby union player and podcaster Joe Marler!

Joe is one of the most talented rugby players of his generation, representing England, the British & Irish Lions, Harlequins and Harlequins for close to 15 years. However, if there's one thing to match his rugby skills it's his pinting skills, and he heads to The Moon Under Water as someone who has immersed himself in the sport with possibly the biggest drinking culture out there. Thankfully, he's not about initiations and dirty pints; he'd much rather settle down in a quiet corner and watch the night pass by... much to the delight of John and Robin.

What is the GREATEST job in the Other Realm? Beer mat designer? Pub architect? Hop farmer? Whilst these are all good suggestions there's surely only one thing that every beer lover wants to do... and that's be a brewer. You pick the flavours, you pick the strength, you pick the name; what's not to love?! And this week's guest is not only a brewer... she's been crowned Brewer of the Year on two different occasions; it's Jaega Wise! 

Jaega is the head brewer and co-founder of Wild Card Brewing, and what she doesn't know about beer isn't worth knowing! She's also a judge on Beer Masters and can often be heard on BBC Radio 4's The Food Programme discussing all things alcohol. She also recently opened up her own pub in Walthamstow, so it seems very fitting that she's about to make her way into the Correct Realm to create her dream tavern.
