The Lager’s Off

In this festive episode of The Lager’s Off Podcast, hosts Dan and Martin review Amundsen Brewery’s Christmas Cake beer and share their honest first impressions of this seasonal craft brew. They dig into how pub culture is changing in the UK — from modern taprooms to the evolving role of traditional pubs — and what these shifts mean for beer lovers. The episode also features the return of the popular Crisp & Beer Rating segment, where the lads make a shocking discovery: Mini Cheddars can’t actually be classed as a crisp. Expect laughs, mild outrage, and plenty of snack-based debate. If you’re into craft beer reviews, UK pub culture, beer-and-snack pairings, or just love a good conversational podcast, this episode’s got something for you. Tune in, crack open a cold one, and enjoy!

This week on The Lager's Off, we're cracking open a unique Croatian beer that's actually a collaboration with a Canadian brewery! Join us as we taste-test this international mashup and discuss what happens when two brewing cultures collide.
But that's not all – we dive into a heated discussion about how the price of everything seems to be getting absolutely silly these days. From your weekly shop to your pint at the pub, nothing's safe from inflation madness.
We also take a light-hearted look at the state of British politics (because what goes better with beer than a bit of political banter?).
Plus, we somehow end up talking about swimming pools (because of course we do).
