This month we are back to full strength as we visit newly re-opened Harlequin.

Adam and James get together for our annual Tramlines preview episode.

It's just the two of them - everyone else is too busy - but they share a beer together in James' kitchen to look back at last year's washout, and ahead to this year's festival.

There's a big development with a new beer area close to the main stage and some awesome local breweries involved.

And the weather forecast is good, so stop moaning.

It's been five months but we are finally back.

James, Adam, Laura and Sean catch up over a beer at the Rutland Arms.

We talk about new jobs, reforming bands and breaking bones... oh, and a teeny tiny bit about beer!

This month Sean, Laura and Adam venture to S10 to a new venue for the team. We are joined by Mac from the very excellent micro pub in the Nether green area of Sheffield… the Wonky Labrador.

T'was the night before Halloween and poor Sean has a bit of a technology horror show so only joins us half way through.

But Laura, Adam and James persevere and get through some nice beers - along with one not-really-a-beer. All will be revealed!

We're recording online this month but will be back in the wild in November.

This month we are back on zoom. With busy schedules and James swanning off abroad, Adam, Laura and Sean catch up over a beer. Laura chats about her trip to Stockport and Smokefest and we forward to October's Steel City Beer and Cider Festival

Our expedition doesn't take us very far - as we end up at Beer Central's home of the Moor Market in Sheffield city centre.

James, Laura and Sean are joined by a special guest to talk about a special beer - called Coalition - and all the usual skulduggery to boot.

We visit the all-new The Old Shoe in Orchard Square... yes in an orchard! You can't write that can you.

The Old Shoe is the new collaboration between Matt Beety (The Bear, Abbleydale Road) and Mike Pomranz (The Cider Hole).

We talk to The Old Shoe's beer, cider, and wine experts (and all-round awesome guys) about the venue and what you can expect there.

Sheffield Christmas has arrived!

We're joined by Alex Deadman from Tramlines to talk about this year's festival in Hillsborough Park.

There's beers involved too (and a tiny bit of swearing too, just to warn you!)

We're at the Wisewood Inn in Loxley for May 2023's episode.

There's the usual beer talk, some summer plans, and an unboxing of some rather unusual sounding beers.

This month we visit a new pub for the Hopcast but one that has been a Sheffield Staple for a long long time. The Irish run Freehouse, Dog and Partridge on Trippet Lane. Oh do we love a snug!
