In our 85th podcast, we talk to friend of the show Mike Sands, the owner, pizza genius, and karaoke extraordinaire of Slice Culture.

Slice Culture is a pop-up pizza stall from Stoke that you have probably seen at taprooms and pubs around the country. Mike has put his passion and dedication for pizza into making Slice Culture one of the top taproom food stalls around. Bringing his own brand of 'taproom pizza' to beer nerds wherever he can.

Mike tells us about how he got into making pizza, the resources he has used and uses to learn and perfect the art of dough, talks ingredients, and gives us a look at what it takes to run these pop-up food stalls.

He also talks to us about how he first approached taprooms, how all that works, and the prep it takes to make a successful few days of serving pizza.

(It's really fucking good pizza btw, take our word for it.)

In our 81st podcast, GRUB asked us to do a live podcast at their Winter Beer Fest. We got Unbarred Brewery, Runaway Brewery and Rivington Brewery involved and pitted them against each other during 3 rounds of questions, guesses, drama and blind tasting.

Sophie from Runaway Brewery, Jordan from Unbarred Brewery and Jack from Rivington Brew Co. joined us on stage as we first asked them to discuss beer cliches then play Beerety Beer (our take on Blankety Blank).
We then gave them 90 seconds to answer as many questions as they could on their own brewery.
Round 3 was a blind tasting. We gave each one a wrapped up beer from their brewery, and they had to guess what beer it was just from aroma and taste.
All rounds were scored so listen in to find out who comes out victorious at the pod's end.

In our 80th podcast, we talk to Lucy, taproom manager for Sureshot Brewing.

Officially opening Nov 18th, the Sureshot Taproom is the newest addition to the Manchester beer scene. Lucy is the taproom manager and was brought in early on to overlook the building of the tap in a railway arch.

She tells us about the the work that has gone into the tap, what she did and did want not for it, and her plans for it.

Lucy has worked in the beer industry for over a decade now, doing pretty much every job you can do, except brewing (she's tells us why in the podcast). So we talk over the industry, the roles she's had, and with it follow the path of craft beer in the UK.

We also discuss the relatively short history of the brewery, and find out what it's like to wander around a beer fest in an inflatable shark costume.
