11PM Somewhere Podcast

by The R.E.D. Podcast Network

A weekly podcast dedicated to promoting & pushing the Craft Beer revolution in Ireland one beer at a time, one craft beer virgin at a time. Beer in Ireland doesn't start with Black Stuff, nor should it be reduced to tastless, bland chemically loaded fizzy piss. Ireland's craft beer scene is teething, waiting to break free & introduce flavourful, aromatically interesting, mouth pleasing amber to millions of macrobrewery mouth-slaves. [explicit]
