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!”

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).
🍻 What We're Drinking: Imperial Coconut, Maple Syrup and Cacao Stout - The Garden Brewery (Croatia)

This week on Lager's Off, we're uncapping a brew from the Mediterranean island of Corsica while diving into some delightfully unpredictable discussions.
That's not all—our episode also delves into ADHD, from the superpower of hyperfocus to the hurdles of executive function, all while tasting one of the most unique beers we've ever featured. It's the kind of session where a Corsican lager somehow takes us into the world of arachnid behaviour and neurodivergent minds—exactly the kind of meandering chat we love.
Grab your favourite pint glass and join us for another wonderfully chaotic journey through hops, spiders, and the intricate beauty of how our minds work. Cheers! Beer is Pietra IPA.
