    What’s the best temperature for beer and wine?

    A new study has found that beer is more enjoyable when served cold. That might seem obvious to you, but not everywhere serves it that way. 
    The report also says that we should be chilling red wines and warming whites a bit more...so what is the correct way? 
    Joining Kieran to give their expert guidance is Dean McGuinness, MD of Premier International Beer, and Brigid O’Hora, from @brideys_wine_chats on instagram.

Interesting

Mischievous with very good knowledge on general issues and excellent summary of political issues. Only problem is sometimes doesn’t listen to answers from his guests . Opinionated!

Great!

Kieran is a breath of fresh air after George/Ivan. Good command of detail and wry sense of humour at times. I like the travel slot, the head to head/common ground. Better week in review possible of a Friday. Very good at uploading podcasts quickly which is great.. V good on insta/social. So far this show is my preference to last word/Drivetime. Great show!
