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!”

🍺 The Lagers Off Podcast | Newbarns Brown Ale, The North-South Divide & A Proper 90s Nostalgia Trip
Martin and Dan are back, and this week they're continuing their deep dive into Newbarns Brewery — and this time, it's all about the brown ale. Does it live up to the name? Is it what you'd expect from one of Scotland's most talked-about craft breweries? The lads crack it open and give you their honest, unfiltered take. But that's not all. Things get slightly heated (in the best possible way) when the debate turns to one of England's great unsolved questions: where exactly does the North-South divide actually sit? Martin and Dan have opinions. Strong ones. You might agree, you might not — but you will have something to say about it. And then it's a trip down memory lane as the conversation drifts into the 90s — the music, the culture, the general vibe of it all — and how much things have changed since then. For better? For worse? Probably a bit of both. Pull up a chair, crack something cold open, and join the chat.
