S3E2 -Haacht Brewery

11/20/2021
The ale keeps coming... We can't stop, we simply will not stop; these episodes are coming thick and fast. This month the lovely folks over at Haacht Brewery were kind enough to send us a box of beers to sample; and sample them we did. There's the usual mix of Ben chatting nonsense about Liverpool and sneezing into the microphone for no good reason and Dan pretending he's cultured by mentioning the countries he's visited. Beers supped: Wild-card - Northern Monk's "Shaun of the Death", Strawberry cornetto imperial stout, 11%.

Co-hosts Dan and Ben return for Ale Tales Season 3 after some life-changing events to sample a selection of beers from Newcastle's Wylam Brewery... As well as reviewing this tasty line-up, the boys discuss a sprinkling of beer news stories and there's the all-important Ben Bingo/Dan Dingo game to win (with a booby prize for the loser...) Season 3 is now. Get this in your ears. There's loads more to come. Find out more at https://ale-tales.pinecast.co
