Pubs. Pints. People.

This enjoyable series looks at the bare necessities of beer and its pub culture including the people behind it and their stories. The trio of presenters bring enthusiastic banter to the show as they discuss events past and present alongside a different theme each week, though it does sound a little bit scripted at times. The in-house interviews are sometimes even more so. It gives people behind the scenes to chance to air their views on the brewing industry, but sometimes it’s the same old tale of how they grew a hobby into a business. Sometimes the feature just reflects the closing line of the segment which is created to reflect an often-stale soundbite. But it does present an interesting view of what the campaign is up to and injects some much-needed enthusiasm into its activities. I’ve sought out some of the brews that they recommend, and they haven’t failed to impress yet. I’m looking forward to a lockdown-free life where I hope they’ll encourage people to seek out a few recommended pubs.
