    Ep8. Magic Rock part 1

    Magic Rock asked us to review some of their beers, naturally we said yes.  In the first of 3 episodes exploring the Huddersfield based brewer's offerings, we give their session IPA 'Saucery' and Gooseberry Gose 'Salty Kiss' the once over.  With outdoor drinking in pubs back in full swing we discuss the differences between a pub and tap room. Is one better than the other? Are they the same thing?

    Ep5. Off Script

    Every now and again we are going to do an episode completely off script, zero prep and just see what dark path we wander down. This is the first of those episodes.  What started off with a chat about the current state of pubs mutated into some light dry January bashing, a discussion around the Scandinavian penchant for for sour beers amongst other mad brews, Lyall channels Bill Bailey and could you really have a breakfast stout for breakfast? *This was recorded in January, any COVID related chat is long out of date.

    Ep3. The Perfect Pub

    For our festive/New Year episode we decide to design our perfect pub.  We miss the pub! To celebrate the holidays we decide to build our dream drinking establishment. The perfect location, the beers, food menu and the all important bar snacks all get the treatment. SPOILER...pigs in blankets are not a bar snack.   This episode is accompanied by drinks from our past, some surprising choices mixed in with a few left-field additions.  From all of us at 90% Water, merry Christmas and happy New Year
