Pints of View

It’s Pete’s round — he brings Alco Lager (yes, Alco ) into the studio and Cliff joins him for a proper pint review. The pair taste the lager live and debate the Top 10 World Cuisines (Italian, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Indian and more). Expect a little footy nostalgia (Bolton, Leeds, Match of the Day), beer-shop shout-outs, and unexpected cosmic detours - James Webb, Mandela Effect & the Fermi...

In episode 6 of " Pints of View ", Cliff strides into the studio with a clutch of bottles and proudly presents a cold Duvel for Pete to quaff live. What starts as a tasting quickly explodes into a Friday-night free-for-all: a Top 10 sitcom debate (almost all American), Belgian-beer nerding (yeast, glassware, pouring technique), footy nostalgia , absurd hypothetical battles, and a new rec...

Pete and Cliff crack open a crisp rice lager — Orion: Okinawa’s Craft — then take a rip-roaring ride through a Top 10 of modern inventions (courtesy of a rather dubious list from Ohio State University ). Along the way they detour through heists at the Louvre, the Elgin Marbles vs British Museum row, Robin of Sherwood nostalgia TV, Torvill & Dean, and (naturally) Sean Bean's casting as the...

Pete and Cliff experience their first sips of Franziskaner Weissbier (Munich) and sprint through a very German-themed episode: a Top 10 of famous (and infamous) Germans, pub philosophy about doom-prepping and AI, football gossip (Leeds, Bolton and more), and cultural detours from Gutenberg to Beethoven. Expect laughs, a few heated takes, and one Sean Bean impersonation too many. Leeds United memor...

This week we crack open a Mousehead Small Batch East Coast IPA and barrel-roll through 3D cinema, cult films and Star Wars lore, while somehow finding time to debate the greatest PS1-era shooter, Leeds United nostalgia and Fish & Chips scraps - the pub version. Expect beer chat, tangents about Mandalay and Toronto, deep dives into classic games, and one unavoidable shout-out to Tony Yeboah. Fe...

Welcome to Episode 2 of Pints of View . This week Pete and Cliff polish off Kingfisher (and moan lovingly about Budvar again), debate whether brown or green bottles are better for your pint, and veer wildly into curry culture, pop-culture rants and space oddities. Expect honest tasting notes, brewery chat, northern/southern word wars and the sort of tangents that only happen down the pub. If you’r...

Let's raise our first pint! Welcome to Pints of View! In Episode 1 Pete and Cliff review Budvar (from the only brewery owned by the Czech government), talk cans v bottles, beer history and the decades-long trademark spat with Anheuser-Busch and the famous US Budweiser . Expect proper beer chat — malt, mouthfeel and hops — plus the kind of pub banter that spirals into: words southerners don’t u...
