The Bearded Beer Pod

Bearded Beer Pod Episode 22: July 2025

It’s been one hell of a month: 13-hour workdays, passive-aggressive Teams messages, and enough stress to make even a session IPA feel like rocket fuel. So, I cracked open some cans, hit record, and things got… interesting. This episode, I share some utterly surreal personal news (spoiler: I may or may not be the new host of MasterChef), shout out some cracking comedy shows from Amelia Bayler and Kate Hammer, and recount a much-needed escape to leafy Dunblane. Of course, there’s beer — a ridiculous lineup ranging from turnip-scented despair to liquid gold, with tasting notes that veer from “angel jizz” to “the beer equivalent of a skateboard to the back of the head.” It’s chaotic, unfiltered, and very possibly career-ending. Pour yourself something strong and join me.

Bearded Beer Pod Episode 20: May 2025

Alright you beautiful, beer-bloated renegades — the chaos continues in this month’s episode of The Bearded Beer Pod! It’s May, the evenings are long, the fridge is empty, and somehow we’ve ended up reviewing beers that taste like everything from Lilt-soaked Ron Jeremy to “Calpol for grown-ups”. You’ve been warned. This month, I’m waxing lyrical about the absolute carnage of Gatekeeper Metal Night at La Belle Angele, the savage brilliance of Roast Battle Scotland, and shouting out the brilliantly shonky Rank Rotten Podcast. Plus, I’ve officially launched the Bearded Coffee Rant Vlog — caffeinated grumbling on YouTube every Friday, because why not ruin your morning too? Beer-wise, it’s been a wild ride: DIPAs that punch you in the throat, AF beers that taste like dusty floors, and one that reminds me of a stripper’s spangly thong. As always, expect wildly inappropriate descriptions, unfiltered opinions, and the kind of chat that gets you barred from family group chats. This episode is proudly sponsored by Barry’s Inflatable Garden Sheds — because nothing says “I’ve given up” like a bouncy shed. Tune in, grab a cold one, and lower your expectations. It’s a riot. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts. Cheers, ya glorious degenerates! 🍻 Rank Rotten Pod [https://shows.acast.com/rank-rotten-a-rotten-movies-podcast] Bearded Beer Blog on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWP5jQ0FTri9i47z90vvwhg] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Bearded Beer Pod Episode 19: April 2025

Alright you beautiful bunch of beer-loving legends — The Bearded Beer Pod is back with a fresh new look, the same old theme tune, and a frankly lazy attitude towards making a new one. In this month’s episode: I got barricaded in my office by a rogue beer delivery, bid a teary farewell to the final haul from a certain beer shop, and got emotionally flattened by the Custard Sessions at Edinburgh’s Blue Blazer. Expect fizzy AA batteries, flumpy DIPAs, a TIPA that nearly put me in a skip, and a few outrageously dodgy beer facts you never asked for. Massive thanks to Brew 61 for a cracking care package and to Krafty Kirkcaldy for dangerously good hospitality. So grab a cold one, whack this in your lugholes, and remember — the sun’s kinda out, the beer’s cold, and it’s good to be alive. Same jingle, fresh chaos.
