T’BEST CRAFT ALE SHOW IN T’WORLD…

…PROBABLY!

Craft AleComedyPolitical Show

The ‘Beer n BS Show’ is an independently produced podcast where we drink a little bit of beer and discuss a lot of bullshit. We may focus on the news of the day or talk about some form of popular culture. It might be movies/TV, computer games or involve a political rant. You can guarantee that something inappropriate is said or a wild opinion is shared as we discuss issues that, in all fairness, we are rightfully not qualified to do so.

Hosted by four good friends, on each show we crack open a craft beer and jump right in to a free-form discussion. We will cover a few subjects before playing a round of ‘Beer or BS’. This segment is where Geoff presents the hosts with 5 facts – of which one of them is a complete fabrication. Their task is to decide which of the facts are true – the beer and which one is false – the bullshit. This results in some truly obscure and comical verbal thought processes and the show is worth a listen to for this segment alone. We wrap up by reviewing our beers.

Meet the Beer n BS Team

Geoff

~~Host~~ Jarl of the Beer n BS Show and part time viking. He can often be found doing very little in Azeroth (Eonar), Geoff loves his mead and sour craft ales. Often results in being the school teacher on the show trying to settle the unruly children. His favourite craft beer at the moment is Tooth and Claw’s – Lemon Gose. A well traveled Londoner who now resides in the heart of God’s Country – Yorkshire! Welcome to what we think is the best podcast you’ll ever listen to.

Nathan

Everyone’s favourite and legend with a 4k mind! Generously gifting the word ‘Jovler‘ to world of expletives, a ‘brother from another mother’ [SIC Jeremy/Pine Ridge Brewing] … Nathan takes us all down descriptive, sometimes dark and uncharted, rabbit holes and doesn’t stop when he reaches the bottom. If he has something to say he’ll just keep digging! Loves just about any craft beer but has a preference for the richer darker chocolate stouts.

Rachel

Attempts to bring a feminine touch to the Podcast. A teacher, carer, singer and generally cheery bar wench! You’ll hear me giggling inanely about most things but am a bit of an eco-warrior and social justice advocate so I can make some fair points sometimes! I was introduced to the world of beer with fruity IPA’s like Clockwork Tangerine and Disco Forklift Truck but now (especially on those dark nights) you’ll find me with a thick tasty Chocolate Porter in hand.

Aaron Uhtred

The guest that never left – Aaron, Quirky Ales head brewer, is a self proclaimed beer whore who loves all craft beer. He is most happy with a beer in hand, watching live sport. However, a lover of all styles, his kryptonite is a West Coast IPA. Aaron is often Nathan’s sidekick, giggling alongside him when he enters those famous rabbit holes while Geoff tries desperately to swerve the show back on track. His favourite craft beer at the moment = anything rammed with hops and is opaque.

Beer n BS Show

The ‘Beer n BS Show’ is a discussion on craft ales, politics, gaming, movies with a good dose of bullshit. Hosted by three drinking buddies – we aim to introduce a few new beers to you with a humorous breakdown of topical events and news. Recorded in the Leeds (Yorkshire/UK) from the finest taproom in the area: QuirkyAles.com. This podcast may not be suitable for listening at work or in public spaces.

As 2021 draws to an end… Rachel, Geoff and Aaron are joined by Nathan to discuss the highs and lows of the year.

From sporting events to legal proceedings against British Royals and other BS in the news… we take a trip down memory lane. Will you get our ‘Beer or BS’ quiz all correct?

Grab a beer, put on your headphones (we are not suitable for children – Rachel’s fault – most of the time) and enjoy the show!

Aaron's Craft Beer Suggestion:

Made in the Shade by Track Brewing Company (Porter – English) – 5.6% ABV
Made in the shade is our robust, warming porter. Brewed with a classic malt bill of pale malt with roasted barley, chocolate and brown malt, crystal and Vienna malts bringing the deep inky blackness. Fermented with English ale yeast to bring some fruitiness to the party alongside notes of hot chocolate, cacao nibs, coffee and a candied plum finish. Smooth and satisfying to the last drop.
