We are back. Here is a taster episode and a quick catch-up!

The Beer Nation

A few weeks ago Sophie and Sam got together with the Steve and Mark from the Beer O'Clock show [http://www.beeroclockshow.co.uk/], Daniel from Original Gravity [http://www.originalgravitymag.com/category/podcast/] and Roland from Steve and Roland's Beer Podcast [http://www.sarbp.com/] to record a special review of 2015 which we are calling Beer Nation.  We review our beers, breweries and beer festivals of the year as well as discussing some of the biggest topics that have come along in 2015.

Episode 14 - Beer in the Digital Age Part 2

Soph and Sam continue ranting and raving about the impact of Web 2.0 on the world of beer. We talk about a lot of beer apps including, Untappd [https://untappd.com/], the popular beer review and recording app.     In part two of the show Sam samples Hitachino Nest Red Rice Ale  and Sophie tastes the Kernel's London Sour (3.2%) made with cherries. Also in part two we have A Pint With Bob Pease, CEO of the Brewers Association [http://www.brewersassociation.org/] - the US organisation which represents and promotes craft brewers.

Episode 13 - Beer in the Digital Age Part 1

Beer in the digital age   Would we have a beer revolution without the internet? What do social media and sites depending on user generated content do for the beer world? Are beer blogs the digital answer to fanzines? And are there any beer apps really worth the candle?   These are just some of the questions we consider across a show of two halves - in which Sam and Sophie rant their way through their digital loves and hates and Sam expresses his dislike for ring necked parakeet [http://www.rspb.org.uk/discoverandenjoynature/discoverandlearn/birdguide/name/r/ringneckedparakeet/index.aspx]s [http://www.rspb.org.uk/discoverandenjoynature/discoverandlearn/birdguide/name/r/ringneckedparakeet/index.aspx].     In part one of the show Sophie samples BrewDog Electric India (6.5%), a hoppy saison and Sam samples Adnams Mosaic Pale Ale (4.2%) a single hopped beer brewed for Marks & Spencer.
