In this festive episode of The Lager’s Off Podcast, hosts Dan and Martin review Amundsen Brewery’s Christmas Cake beer and share their honest first impressions of this seasonal craft brew. They dig into how pub culture is changing in the UK — from modern taprooms to the evolving role of traditional pubs — and what these shifts mean for beer lovers. The episode also features the return of the popular Crisp & Beer Rating segment, where the lads make a shocking discovery: Mini Cheddars can’t actually be classed as a crisp. Expect laughs, mild outrage, and plenty of snack-based debate. If you’re into craft beer reviews, UK pub culture, beer-and-snack pairings, or just love a good conversational podcast, this episode’s got something for you. Tune in, crack open a cold one, and enjoy!
