Tall Boy Radio

Christmas means socialising. Socialising means drinking (well for us reprobates anyway) and you don't want to be that guy that falls foul of the drink-driving laws. So we look at the beers you can enjoy without having to call an Uber. We taste tested 6 Non-alcoholic beers to see how they stack up against their foamy alcoholly cousins. We have to say that 3 of them we were really quite impressed wi...

We don't answer any of these questions, we tell you what we think will happen - let's se...
