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.

  • Easter Special
    Apr 3 2026

    The boys are back and things get messy in this Easter special episode…

    This week, we’re taking on the ultimate festive challenge: 6 chocolate eggs + an 11% stout in just 30 minutes. From Creme Eggs to whatever else we could get our hands on, it’s sugar, stout, and questionable decisions from start to finish.

    Was it a good idea? Absolutely not. Did we do it anyway? Of course.

    Along the way, we dive into nostalgic Easter memories from the 90s – think classic egg hunts, over-the-top chocolate hauls, and the kind of childhood chaos that just hit different back then.

    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.

    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.
