This week is a bumper episode as we talk about "THAT" documentary about BrewDog, and our own reaction to it. We then dig into this week's video in which we build our own homebrewery and studio and reveal that next week's video is a homebrew episode with the one and only Russian River! Oh, and Brad has had his Weetabix. Watch this week's video here: youtu.be/FXGTK7dDILY Wat...

Brad takes a long walk on a cold beach, Jonny finds an explosion in the Brudio, and we spend most of the podcast talking about fish. That's right – it's time for another episode of the Friday 5pm podcast that barely mentions beer.

It's that time of year again, where you try to relax with a nice beery podcast and we send your mind down some dark and mysterious alleyways. This week we talk about Brad's pub crawl of the West End, Jonny's latest homebrew adventures, and what dog would represent a West Coast IPA. Yep.

It's Friday 5pm and we're BACK! Join us as we dig into our first shoot and video of the year, discuss Jonny's new cardigan, and wonder whether we should be on ticktock.

Happy Friday beer geeks! You made it, and your reward is Brad being back on the Pod. Join us for a ramble with him around Amsterdam, a chat about this week's Low Brau, and a question about the biggest brewery we still consider "craft".

In this month's feature length episode we are joined by one of our heroes – the incredible, enthusiastic and utterly lovely Olly Smith. Olly is, in our opinion, the great wine communicator of our time but he is also a huge beer geek. We talk to him about our campaign, #keepcaskalive, and get his perspective on what needs to be done to protect real ale. Along the way we takes diversions into t...

It's a first ever solo Friday 5pm podcast today! Brad has finally made it to Amsterdam, so Jonny is left to derail his own conversations and does a pretty good job of it.

You heard it here first folks. This week, slightly under the influence, we dig into which celebs drink what; why Brad had a TIPA at 11.30am and other important life questions.

This week we take a break in building our new brewery and studio to talk about Margate, this week's video and our amazing new sponsor, THE MALT MILLER.

It's the return of the Bubble for a big episode all about video games! This week we talk to Peter and Eren of Auroch Digital, creators of upcoming homebrew game Brewmaster. We get the lowdown on that exciting project, as well as digging into the business of making games – the world of Triple A and Triple I developers, worker exploitation, the effect of professional gamers and Youtubers, the b...

This week is a softly spoken episode because both of us drank too much Barley Wine last night. We still manage to have a fight about sparklers though, and to go through the comments on this week's video all about the future of cask ale.

So Brad went and got himself COVID, and decided to celebrate by burning his house down. Meanwhile, Jonny is on his book tour and has apparently made an indecent proposal to the person he's staying with Bristol. Also, we talk about beer – cask mostly.

Brad's hungover, but we still bash through an absolute mountain of news and comments on our new video and still find time to go down a rabbit hole about the difference between a shandy and a diesel.

This week we're trying to talk SODA after an inspiration trip to Square Root, but instead we get a lesson in fashion from Brad, and some choice quotes about sandals. After that we dive into this week's surprisingly uncontroversial video about the beauty and the beast that is Untappd – and what needs to change.

It's a bit of a waffle start this week, as Jonny regales us with his late night Twitter wars and dedications to pub staff.
