Oz & James Drink to Britain - IPA Quote

[Ged]

This first episode was aired on the 6th Jan in the UK and follows OZ ( Wine Ponce) and James May( Engine head from Top Gear) around the UK sampling beers, visiting commercial and also micro breweries. Not exactly massively scientific but if you've seen their last wine programs - in France and California, its in the same format - quite entertaining in bits...Its very available to Btorrent users. Classic quote form James May who can be rather eloquent whilst talking about IPA brewed in Yorkshire by an Italian & a KIWI !!!

Something along the lines of

" Its like a sweet nymph being chased down your gullet by the Viking of Bitterness"

On another note seeing as I'm saving for a Grain Mill...Should I go for the Barley Crusher Malt Mill or the Millmaster from Craftbrewer or Millmaster...

Cheers guys

I just watched those videos - Thanks for uploading them nzbrewer...

I felt quite disenfranchised when I couldn't find episode 3 online... I felt even worse that it hasn't even aired on TV yet.

Dammit.

Hi mate. Torrents are loaded within an hour or two of them being aired - as is youtube etc for that matter. Given its a new program and its aired on Tuesday night (UK time), the kiwis should be able to find torrents easily from Wed morning onwards NZ time. Looks like there are 8 shows in all.

Looks like they're meeting the Brew Dog fellas in the next episode...

From http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00h5vtj -
In Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens, the pair bump into some radical brewers whose unusual beer and provocative marketing has gotten them into a lot of trouble.

Reference is to this no doubt... http://www.brewdog.com/news.php?id=51

Crikey..5 years since I've stood in those gardens...Watching the odd tramp cherish his can of tennents lager...Truly the worst 'beer' to have ever been brewed...Akin to Tui with extra fizz and water
