The Thinking Drinkers Podcast

The French revolutions continue as we storm the gates of good taste in Gascony and the Languedoc - with Cremant de Limoux, Armagnac and the last drips of some bag in a box Cotes de Gascogne.

Show Notes

As the serious players come out to play, we talk sadistic Slovenians, rustic French brandy, bracing bubbles from Languedoc and, as ever, some feeble wordplay and superfluous scatological schoolboy smut.

What is The Thinking Drinkers Podcast?

No matter what day of the year it is, there is always a compelling reason to enjoy a discerning drink. Responsibly of course.

This hilarious, eclectic and erudite elbow-bending adventure through the calendar reveals what you should be drinking this week - and a fascinating and compelling reason to drink it.

Hosts Ben McFarland & Tom Sandham, aka The Thinking Drinkers, have deftly decanted 40 years of unwavering dedication to awesome alcohol into a podcast that will broaden your booze horizons and make you seem even more interesting than you already are.

Steeped in eccentric events, fascinating facts and with all the cocktail recipes and recommendations a thirsty gastronome requires, this pod arms people with essential, some would say useless, anecdotal ammunition with which to impress your mates over a drink...or two.
