About this listen

A travel podcast about beer, supported by Penta Hotels...


Paddy and Rory are not beer experts - as much as they might act like it after a couple of pints. What they lack in knowledge about the stuff, they make up for in their naive enthusiasm for the magic moments it can provide. After countless hours of sitting in London pubs, discussing how much they'd love to be having a drink anywhere else in the world but there, the pair decided to do something about it. So they dusted off their microphones, grabbed their passports and headed out into the world in search of some answers to some pretty serious questions: "is a pint too large of a quantity?", "is the location of the drink more important than how it tastes?" and "Where is my room key? Oh god, oh god, not again. I've locked myself out in my pants. I am pathetic. Why do I keep doing this?"


The end result is T.I.T.L (This is The Life). Each episode will take our hosts to a different branch of Penta Hotels, tasting their way around the unique regional beer offerings of each city and discussing what makes them special... and hey, maybe having a laugh along the way? Hahaha!

    For their fifth and final adventure of the series, our beer loving rascals hopped across the North Sea to the German city of Bremen! Paddy and Rory were lucky enough to be some of the very first guests at the brand spanking new Penta Hotel and they celebrated by drinking every last drop of beer in the building and possibly the city. Hear what they got up to as they skipped along the banks of the river Weser sampling authentic German cuisine, authentic German beer and authentic German banter.

    Our heroes set their sights on somewhere a little closer to home... or, their home anyway (we have a very international listenership!). Rory and Paddy drove to the Penta Ipswich to see what the port town in East Anglia has to offer. Coastal landscapes, a thriving food scene and historic architecture... these are all things we would have been focussing on had we not been distracted by the big frothy pints of ale. Suffolk is also blessed with wonderful people: Josh at Penta was kind enough to talk us through what is so special about the area, and we also ventured into the nearby towns, catching up with Dan, the head brewer of Suffolk's most iconic brewery Adnams. Please do leave us a review if you like what you hear!

    For their next adventure Paddy and Rory head to the Penta Hotel in Brussels in search of something a little different. The Belgian capital is a city known, not just for it's little statues of people urinating but also for its unnervingly strong beer. Can they handle it? Find out as our low ABV lager enthusiasts hop around the city drinking beers, playing chess and get irritated when seeing people lining up in single file at the bar.
