About this listen

Martin, a self confessed beer nerd takes his lifelong friend Dan on a beer-curious journey from mass produced lager and in to the wonderful world of craft beer. Each episode Martin will choose an increasingly more complex beer to test Dan’s taste buds and take him one step further away from his standard lager of preference If Martin succeeds in serving up a brew that tickles the taste buds of enjoyment then we will exclaim together ”The Lager’s Off!”Copyright 2023 All rights reserved.

  • S5 E15 We Didn't Start The Fryer!
    Apr 13 2026

    The van's open, the music's on, and somehow we've ended up in a heated debate about crisps. Classic. This week we're getting nostalgic — diving deep into the golden age of the food van, those legendary roadside and festival staples that somehow always hit different at the wrong time of day. We're talking dodgy locations, mystery sauces, and the kind of meals you'd never admit tasting twice (but absolutely did). Then things get serious. We're settling it once and for all — what are the greatest crisps and chocolate bars ever made? Opinions are strong, alliances are tested, and somebody is definitely wrong. Keeping us company through all of it are two cracking beers from Newbarns Brewery — this week's pours are the Screich and the Auld Ale. Both brilliant, both very drinkable, and both doing a lot of heavy lifting keeping this conversation civil.

  • Easter Special
    Apr 3 2026

    The boys are back and things get messy in this Easter special episode…

    This week, we’re taking on the ultimate festive challenge: 6 chocolate eggs + an 11% stout in just 30 minutes. From Creme Eggs to whatever else we could get our hands on, it’s sugar, stout, and questionable decisions from start to finish.

    Was it a good idea? Absolutely not. Did we do it anyway? Of course.

    Along the way, we dive into nostalgic Easter memories from the 90s – think classic egg hunts, over-the-top chocolate hauls, and the kind of childhood chaos that just hit different back then.

  • S5 E14 Canosphere
    Mar 26 2026

    The lads are back. This week we're cracking open Mega Burns by Newbarns of Leith and diving into a big one.

    We kick things off reacting to the Manosphere documentary — plenty to say about that. Then we launch a brand new feature: The Brewery Tour, and for episode one we headed down to Newbarns of Leith to check out what they're all about. Spoiler: it was a good shout.

    And of course, the Crisps & Choc Bar Tier List rolls on. Controversy guaranteed.

    If you're into craft beer, bad takes, and a good laugh — you're in the right place. Subscribe, leave us a review, and let us know your crisp tier list in the comments. We read them all.
