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.

🎙️ The Bearded Beer Pod — June Edition! 🍻

Alright you magnificent, malt-obsessed maniacs — your unapologetically hungover host is back for the June instalment of The Bearded Beer Pod! Expect absurd labels, dangerously boozy hop-bombs, surprise sours, and the occasional pint you only bought because the sticker made you laugh in the bottle shop.

This month we’ve got a jam-packed episode:

🍻 Beer reviews galore — the good, the bad, and the what-the-actual-fuck-was-that?

🌈 A live Pride takeover from Edinburgh’s legendary Salt Horse bar, with a taplist so fabulous it needs its own feather boa

🎙️ An exclusive sit-down with Lucy from Closet Brewing to talk all things beer, Pride, and brewing brilliance

🤘 Plus a few Slayer stories, some unsolicited life advice, and a heroic plug for our utterly unnecessary but life-enhancing sponsor: PINT POUCH™ — the world’s first wearable beer bladder. Fill it, strap it, pretend it’s medical.

So whether you’re hiding from relatives at a wedding, half-cut at a festival, or sick to death of reusable cups, get this episode in your ears. It’s daft, it’s boozy, it’s got glitter beer and a label that says “bum eggs.”

What more do you need?

Listen now wherever you get your pods, and join the beautiful, unhinged chaos.
