Martin, a self confessed beer nerd takes his lifelong friend Dan on a beer-curious journey from mass produced lager and in to the wonderful world of craft beer. Each episode Martin will choose an increasingly more complex beer to test Dan’s taste buds and take him one step further away from his standard lager of preference If Martin succeeds in serving up a brew that tickles the taste buds of enjoyment then we will exclaim together ”The Lager’s Off!”

    S5 E13 Old Men Can't Jump!

    This week on Lagers Off, we dive into a wonderfully chaotic mix of topics that somehow all make perfect sense after a couple of beers. From questionable decisions at trampoline parks to the eternal debate over the best cinema snacks, this episode is packed with laughs, nostalgia, and a few surprisingly useful tips along the way. We kick things off with stories from the trampoline park—covering the thrills, the risks, and why it might feel very different as an adult than it did as a kid. Then it’s on to movie night essentials as we debate the ultimate cinema treats, from classic popcorn to pick-and-mix favourites. Later in the episode, we unexpectedly wander into skincare routines and grooming habits (because apparently even podcast hosts need a routine). There’s also a chocolate tasting of Kinder Bueno, plus a beer review featuring Kernel London Beer and some snack pairing experiments. Expect plenty of random tangents, nostalgic stories, and the usual laid-back Lagers Off humour.

    S5 E12 Sunday Dinner

    This week on The Lager’s Off Podcast, Dan and Martin tackle the serious business of the best Sunday dinners. Roast potatoes: fluffy or crispy? Yorkshire puddings: essential or overrated? Gravy: flood the plate or light drizzle? Nothing is safe. Martin also reports back from his trip to Norway — what it’s really like, how painful the beer prices are, and whether the scenery makes up for it. The all-important Crisp & Chocolate Tier List continues, and this week two heavyweights step up: Hula Hoops and the mighty Double Decker. Do they earn top tier status, or is there controversy brewing? Beer of the week is Tara Boulba by Brasserie De La Senne — a crisp, punchy Belgian pale ale that keeps the debate flowing. Expect strong opinions, nostalgic snack chat, travel tales, and the usual amount of nonsense. Grab a drink and get stuck in 🍻

    S5 E11 Rage Against What Machine?

    This week on The Lager’s Off Podcast, Martin and Dan crank the volume and dive headfirst into the world of Rage Against The Machine — breaking down what made them explosive, whether they still hit the same today, and why old punks never really mellow out… they just get more opinionated. The lads also return to the all-important (and increasingly controversial) Crisp & Chocolate Ranking, where reputations are on the line and supermarket staples are judged without mercy. There are shocks. There is outrage. There may be crumbs. Beer of the week is Nechatron by The Kernel — a punchy, hop-forward brew that fuels the debate and keeps things suitably unfiltered. Expect strong opinions, nostalgic detours, and the usual amount of nonsense. Grab a lager (or don’t — we won’t judge… much) and enjoy.

    S5 E10 Slide Away

    Welcome back to the latest episode of the Lagers Off Podcast! 🍻 This week, the lads dive headfirst into the chaos and nostalgia of the Winter Olympics, relive the absolute madness that was lockdown life, and continue the all-important (and highly controversial) debate on the best UK crisps and nuts. Expect strong opinions, questionable rankings, and the usual tangents… In the tasting chair this episode is a proper fruity number from Staggeringly Good — the Souropod Blueberry & Raspberry Gose. Is it a podium finisher or does it deserve to be disqualified? You’ll have to listen to find out.

    S5 E9 Pie Hard

    We’re back and continuing the all-important rankings as we decide the best UK chocolate and crisps — expect strong opinions and questionable takes. Martin also carries on his legendary “Never Seen It” film journey, admitting to yet another movie everyone else has somehow seen. Plus, things turn very serious as we debate the ultimate pie filling, discuss pie parties (yes, they’re a thing), and crack open Scarbados beer by Yorkshire Heart for a proper taste test. As always: snacks, films, beer, and nonsense.

    S5 E8 Movie Night

    In this episode, Dan and Martin talk classic films, movie recommendations, and the unbelievable fact that Martin has never seen The Princess Bride. The conversation covers iconic movies like Jaws, E.T., The Godfather, and Taxi Driver, along with a discussion about the nicest actors in Hollywood, including Tom Hanks and Keanu Reeves. The episode also features a beer tasting from Mills Brewing, breaking down the flavours of a wild beer, plus a fun debate on frozen vs room-temperature Mars bars. A must-listen for fans of movies, craft beer, and film trivia.

    S5 E7 (Not) Keeping up with the Kardashians

    This week on Lager’s Off, Dan and Martin tackle the big issues facing modern middle-aged men — namely why the Kardashians are unavoidable, how cold is too cold indoors, and whether it’s acceptable to wear extra layers in your own house. There’s also a triumphant return of the ongoing rankings, as the lads continue the serious business of sorting the best chocolate bars and crisps in the UK (with strong opinions, mild outrage, and absolutely no scientific backing). As ever, expect questionable logic, unnecessary tangents, and two blokes slowly coming to terms with winter. Beer is Hard Ticket To Hawaii by Pomona Island
