We find out what it's like living with a dog who wants to murder you, and Tommy recalls the time Derek Acorah tried to communicate with his dead pet frog, Burt Reynolds. There's also a live beer tasting and a stupid game.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A Beer in the Loire is&nbsp;<a href=\"https://t.co/uUPv5YqQKi\" target=\"_blank\">out now</a>, and it's one of the funniest books we've ever read.
