Martin also carries on his legendary “Never Seen It” film journey, admitting to yet another movie everyone else has somehow seen.
Plus, things turn very serious as we debate the ultimate pie filling, discuss pie parties (yes, they’re a thing), and crack open Scarbados beer by Yorkshire Heart for a proper taste test.
As always: snacks, films, beer, and nonsense.

This week on Lager’s Off, Dan and Martin tackle the big issues facing modern middle-aged men — namely why the Kardashians are unavoidable, how cold is too cold indoors, and whether it’s acceptable to wear extra layers in your own house. There’s also a triumphant return of the ongoing rankings, as the lads continue the serious business of sorting the best chocolate bars and crisps in the UK (with strong opinions, mild outrage, and absolutely no scientific backing). As ever, expect questionable logic, unnecessary tangents, and two blokes slowly coming to terms with winter. Beer is Hard Ticket To Hawaii by Pomona Island

In the latest episode of the Lagers Off Podcast, we’re getting festive with a deep dive into Fairytale of Brew York: Walnut Whip Stout by Brew York Brewery. We crack open this indulgent Christmas stout and give our honest tasting notes, discussing the rich chocolatey flavours, nutty sweetness, and whether it lives up to the festive hype.

We also continue our ongoing mission to rank the best UK crisps and chocolate, putting more British favourites under the microscope. Which snacks climb the leaderboard, and which ones completely disappoint?

Expect laughs, mild outrage, and plenty of snack-based debate.
