Episode 92: James Dowdeswell & the Thornbridge Union

//

No, it's not a beer-related rock band, it's an episode featuring comedian James Dowdeswell, who talks about his beer-themed comedy show "Beers of a Clown" and his own beer, Lazy Eye-PA; and also Rob Lovatt and Dom Driscoll from Thornbridge, who tell us all about the Burton Union set that they've acquired from CMBC and are keeping the historic brewing process alive.

Episode 87: McColl's Brewery

//

In the latest episode I speak with Danny McColl, founder of McColl's Brewery based in County Durham.

We talk about his beers, the beer landscape in the North East, and Men's mental health.

I also chatted with Laura and Michael, who work in the beer industry but also have a little fun on the side with a YouTube channel called "Does It Shandy?" where they take often highly-rated beers and mix it with varying fizzy soft drinks to see if it shandies! As well as a little chat about their videos, we also try to see if a very well regarded McColl's beer works with Ginger Beer to make a shandy!
