The Lager’s Off

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.

Alongside the beer, we tackle one of the most controversial topics of the season: the best and worst Christmas songs of all time. From absolute festive classics to tracks that should be banned from the office playlist forever, nothing is safe as we debate our ultimate Xmas hits and misses.

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?

If you love craft beer reviews, Brew York stouts, Christmas podcast chat, and very strong opinions on UK snacks, this episode of the Lagers Off Podcast is not to be missed.

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!
