This is not a drill. We are back.

I won’t labour on about why we took such a long break (we cover that in the episode), but what I will do is get straight into what we did with this episode.

We took Triple Hopped back to its roots. A couple of lads, a few tins, and an arbitrary scoring system. You asked. We delivered.

Before recording this, we did some canvassing to see what people wanted to hear - a couple of ideas that really stuck out to us were to focus on NZ hops, but with beers everyone could access.

So, in good ol’ drink-along fashion, this is what we did! In this episode, we reviewed 3 UK-brewed beers based on 3 criteria:

1. Style points: How does it compare to other beers of its style?

2. New Zealand-i-ness: How much of that Southern Hemisphere funk is it packing?

3. Repeatability: Upon finishing the first, are you compelled to slam second?

Simple enough, right?

If you want to get the beers ahead of the episode to drink-along, here’s what we reviewed:

Beer 1: @burningskybeer x @wildflowerbeer - From the Farm

Beer 2: @twoflintsbrewery - Mr. Fluff

Beer 3: @wylam_brewery - In Search of Synergy

We can’t tell you how much we enjoyed recording this - but what we’ll definitely enjoy more is hearing your feedback on the episode, the beers, and our *cough* triumphant return. Drop us a comment and let us know all of the above (and more).

See you all very, very soon - love, @thebeardedbeerbloke @craftcangang

In this edition, Charlie (@craftcangang) and Ryan (@thebeardedbeerbloke) roll back the clock and see if they can remember how to do a drinking episode. @finbackbrewery and @thebeakbrewery are two breweries that get a lot of airtime on Triple Hopped - so virtually sharing one of their collabs, as well as a fresh Beak solo effort, seemed like a no-brainer.

Have you had either of these? Let us know in the comments!
