Monky Business

Focussing for the first time on one drink rather than two this week, the chaps check out beer’s relationship with religion. Tasting Tynt Meadow from the Mount Saint Bernard Abbey, England’s only Trappist Beer – meaning it’s made by actual monks – they discuss sweet baby Jesus, Henry VIII and Jay-Z, Harry Houdini, Dutch Ovens and the dynamic wardrobe of rice.

Show Notes

You can buy Tynt Meadow for £3.75 from https://www.beerwulf.com or if they don’t have any then you can also get it at www.beersofeurope.co.uk.

As all profits go to good deeds, the more beers you buy – the better the world becomes.  

Next week, the drinking duo set off for the Isle of Skye and the legendary Talisker Distillery. Get yourself the iconic 10 Year-old from www.whiskyexchange.com for £39.45. Feeling flush? Then also treat yourself to the Talisker 18 year-old, the Talisker Storm and Talisker Skye too – because the boys’ll be talking about them too.

Please leave a nice review, shout all about the podcast on social media, tell all your friends about it and, once you’ve done all that, watch our European Championship of Drink on our YouTube channel.
