This is not a drill. We are back.
I won’t labour on about why we took such a long break (we cover that in the episode), but what I will do is get straight into what we did with this episode.
We took Triple Hopped back to its roots. A couple of lads, a few tins, and an arbitrary scoring system. You asked. We delivered.
Before recording this, we did some canvassing to see what people wanted to hear - a couple of ideas that really stuck out to us were to focus on NZ hops, but with beers everyone could access.
So, in good ol’ drink-along fashion, this is what we did! In this episode, we reviewed 3 UK-brewed beers based on 3 criteria:
1. Style points: How does it compare to other beers of its style?
2. New Zealand-i-ness: How much of that Southern Hemisphere funk is it packing?
3. Repeatability: Upon finishing the first, are you compelled to slam second?
Simple enough, right?
If you want to get the beers ahead of the episode to drink-along, here’s what we reviewed:
Beer 1: @burningskybeer x @wildflowerbeer - From the Farm
Beer 2: @twoflintsbrewery - Mr. Fluff
Beer 3: @wylam_brewery - In Search of Synergy
We can’t tell you how much we enjoyed recording this - but what we’ll definitely enjoy more is hearing your feedback on the episode, the beers, and our *cough* triumphant return. Drop us a comment and let us know all of the above (and more).
See you all very, very soon - love, @thebeardedbeerbloke @craftcangang -
In this edition, Charlie (@craftcangang) and Ryan (@thebeardedbeerbloke) roll back the clock and see if they can remember how to do a drinking episode. @finbackbrewery and @thebeakbrewery are two breweries that get a lot of airtime on Triple Hopped - so virtually sharing one of their collabs, as well as a fresh Beak solo effort, seemed like a no-brainer.
Have you had either of these? Let us know in the comments!

Welcome back to the long-awaited (by us) return of Triple Hopped session series! Don’t worry about the title, folks - this isn’t the last episode… We’re a bit out of practice with the ol’ beer puns.
In this episode, Charlie (@charlieayling1 / @craftcangang) and Ryan (@thebeardedbeerbloke) kick things off by talking about their favourite beer series.
Everyone loves a beer series - nothing fuels the “gotta catch ‘em all” thing like a theme that ties a few brews together. Download this one to hear Ryan and Charlie discuss their European favourites over the years - and leave a comment to let us know whether you agree… or which incredibly obvious ones we’ve missed!

As you might have seen if you follow him on Insta, Neil @thelowendbeery has been making us all jealous of his recent US East Coast beer tour. What you won’t have seen is that on the Saturday he hosted - and recorded for your listening pleasure - a special one-off New York bottleshare at the wonderful @heartofgoldastoria in Queens with special guests Carl (@somethingaboutbeer) and Blake (@house_of_stouts) from @hoptalkshow as well as Jen, Kevin, Ollie and Sonia drinking (and helping rank) the beers in the background.
Want to see how @cloudwaterbrew “Sitting Comfortably in your favourite Chair” and the @trackbrewingco BA version of “If I had a Soul” got on against some big hitters from the US? You do? Then you’ve come to the right place as our lineup is completed by brews from @treehousebrewco “Vanilla Bean Truth” (from last weeks 10th Birthday), @eqbrew BA “Graceland” batch 2, @hiddenspringsaleworks “Black Aggie Banana Fluffernutter”, @trilliumbrewing “Buncha Bananas”, @weldwerksbrewing “Coconut Symposium” and @horusagedales “Aviceda Leuphotes”.Big beers. Big opinions. Big debates….but only one winner. Who will it be?
Big thanks to Heart of Gold in Astoria, Queens for having us, if you’re ever in the neighbourhood then we can highly recommend you drop by - great bar with an excellent atmosphere and superb range of beer. Go check them out. -
Many of you have been asking for it and here it is: the return of Matt (@beermatter), Simon (@beeryviews) and Neil (@thelowendbeery) after a 15 month extended hiatus.🍺During the course of the show you’ll hear the team discuss the beers that they enjoyed the most over the Easter period, chat about upcoming festivals (@thesehillsfest and @hopcityleeds), anniversary beers from @monkishbrewing, @otherhalfnyc and @cloudwaterbrew.💭Hear their thoughts as they drink / review beers from @verdantbrew x @flocbrewing, @rivingtonbrewco x @heatonhops, @mash__gang and @cloudwaterbrew amongst others.🍷On top of all of that you’ll get whistle stop tour of AF Beers and Natural Wines courtesy of Simon and Matt (respectively) plus the regular random stuff that you’ve come to expect!🙏🏻So, they’ve been out for 15 months - how did they do? We’d love your feedback on this one. Many thanks, as always, for your continued support
