  • The Pub Notice Board - 'Trying a £20 Beer'

    34:22|
    You lucky lot, not only do you get one hit of beer expert Jonny Garrett this week, but here's another one! Yes, the brains behind the Craft Beer Channel sits down with the boys for a special edition of the Pub Notice Board, and he's brought some gifts with him this time. After mentioning some mouth watering beers in the building of his dream pub, we thought it was only fair for Jonny to stump up the goods. So he joins Robbie and Dan to sample some rare bird drinks, including a beer that has its roots in the year 1883, and one of Jonny's all-time favourite beers, costing £20 a can. Robbie and Dan also attempt to 'learn the language of beer' and Jonny explains how marketing affects our tastebuds.Keep sending us your correspondence to robbie@moonunderpod.com.

    Expert on the horizon! Every so often the Moon Under Water summons someone who really really knows their stuff, and today is one such occasion, for ambling into the pub today is Jonny Garrett from Craft Beer Channel. Jonny settles in for a delightfully detailed and colourful chat with Landlord Robbie and Regular Dan to *craft* a pub jam packed with lovely beers and warmth. One for the hopologists but also a very rewarding conversation for anyone who might have even had just a sip of the odd Pilsner. It even takes us to the most northerly pub on Earth in a place where polar bears roam the ice sheets. You can catch Jonny on YouTube, his website, and his brand new book The Meaning of Beer is out now!To get in touch with the show robbie@moonunderpod.com is the place to send it, and we're @moonunderpod on your socials.

A warm beer in the lobby of a bad hotel? All is revealed within. Elsewhere, Robbie visits the world's largest pub in the Netherlands, then stops off in Crawley to visit the worst pub it has to offer. Dan's theory of never having met a bad Alex comes under fire from a listener, and we encounter some strong correspondent work, verging on award-winning investigative journalism. Keep sending us your bits to robbie@moonunderpod.com. We want to hear about your pub challenges, your Christmas drinking rituals, and everything in between.
