About this listen

Martin, a self confessed beer nerd takes his lifelong friend Dan on a beer-curious journey from mass produced lager and in to the wonderful world of craft beer. Each episode Martin will choose an increasingly more complex beer to test Dan’s taste buds and take him one step further away from his standard lager of preference If Martin succeeds in serving up a brew that tickles the taste buds of enjoyment then we will exclaim together ”The Lager’s Off!”Copyright 2023 All rights reserved.

  • S5 E14 Canosphere
    Mar 26 2026

    The lads are back. This week we're cracking open Mega Burns by Newbarns of Leith and diving into a big one.

    We kick things off reacting to the Manosphere documentary — plenty to say about that. Then we launch a brand new feature: The Brewery Tour, and for episode one we headed down to Newbarns of Leith to check out what they're all about. Spoiler: it was a good shout.

    And of course, the Crisps & Choc Bar Tier List rolls on. Controversy guaranteed.

    If you're into craft beer, bad takes, and a good laugh — you're in the right place. Subscribe, leave us a review, and let us know your crisp tier list in the comments. We read them all.

  • S5 E13 Old Men Can't Jump!
    Mar 12 2026

    This week on Lagers Off, we dive into a wonderfully chaotic mix of topics that somehow all make perfect sense after a couple of beers. From questionable decisions at trampoline parks to the eternal debate over the best cinema snacks, this episode is packed with laughs, nostalgia, and a few surprisingly useful tips along the way.

    We kick things off with stories from the trampoline park—covering the thrills, the risks, and why it might feel very different as an adult than it did as a kid. Then it’s on to movie night essentials as we debate the ultimate cinema treats, from classic popcorn to pick-and-mix favourites.

    Later in the episode, we unexpectedly wander into skincare routines and grooming habits (because apparently even podcast hosts need a routine). There’s also a chocolate tasting of Kinder Bueno, plus a beer review featuring Kernel London Beer and some snack pairing experiments.

    Expect plenty of random tangents, nostalgic stories, and the usual laid-back Lagers Off humour.

  • S5 E12 Sunday Dinner
    Mar 4 2026

    This week on The Lager’s Off Podcast, Dan and Martin tackle the serious business of the best Sunday dinners. Roast potatoes: fluffy or crispy? Yorkshire puddings: essential or overrated? Gravy: flood the plate or light drizzle? Nothing is safe.

    Martin also reports back from his trip to Norway — what it’s really like, how painful the beer prices are, and whether the scenery makes up for it.

    The all-important Crisp & Chocolate Tier List continues, and this week two heavyweights step up: Hula Hoops and the mighty Double Decker. Do they earn top tier status, or is there controversy brewing?

    Beer of the week is Tara Boulba by Brasserie De La Senne — a crisp, punchy Belgian pale ale that keeps the debate flowing.

    Expect strong opinions, nostalgic snack chat, travel tales, and the usual amount of nonsense.

    Grab a drink and get stuck in 🍻
