Oktoberfest coming to Thornton Cleveleys this Friday. And this is only one of two boxes. Rob's gonna have a fucking fit 😬 🇩🇪 🥨 #beer #craftbeer #oktoberfest #germanbeer #festbier #beersofeurope #beerfestival

A big box of excellent German beers, ordered from Beers of Europe, to give us all smashing headaches this weekend.

Recording again this week, so expect the new episode around the 15th - 17th. All the usual guff, and I speak to Blue Monkey Brewery (Nottingham) about their charity beer for Vicky McClure's "Our Dementia Choir" and how you can help. www.ourdementiachoir.com bluemonkeybrewery.com/product/rhyt...

Had a brilliant time this past month with The Kernel. All outstanding beers - catch the full feature in episode 41 of Reclining Pair, along with a chat with them. The "Ordinary Bitter" ...just top-tier. But.... is it bitter? 🤔😜 www.thekernelbrewery.com linktr.ee/recliningpair

Reclining Pair 41 - out now. World records, rogue bishops, Nina updates me on her latest medical adventures, I'm tricked into visiting a smokehouse 🤔 and we chat to The Kernel brewery, London. www.buzzsprout.com/2188080/epis... Some sketchy audio, but you'll be reet. @deathofbuckley.bsky.social

Been helping Ben with something this week so he's posted me up a care package.... AKA "divorce box" Notice how Eddie instinctively knows when a box that shape enters the house.

Do you enjoy food? Maybe you know someone who enjoys food? Either way, they're/you're sure to enjoy our last quiz on Reclining Pair (40).... which was about polar bears. Not really - it was about food. linktr.ee/recliningpair www.buzzsprout.com/2188080/epis...
