Cabin Fever - A very special Christmas treat!

Season 1 · Episode 22

Tuesday, November 24, 2020 • Duration

HOLD ON A SECOND, you’re probably wondering, why is there a new Cabin Fever episode in my podcast feed?

Didn’t Eoghan say the podcast was done when lockdown ended in the summer? Well, yes, I did, because I expected - or at least hoped - that there wouldn’t be a second lockdown.

But here we are.

And while Lockdown 1.0 gave us the Cabin Fever Podcast.

Lockdown 2.0 is going one better and giving us the Cabin Fever Belgian Christmas Bonanza - a livestreamed evening on Thursday December 3rd, where we can celebrate the holidays together while enjoying a drink-along of a selection of Belgian Christmas beers!

In the company of some of the world's beer beer writers (and drinkers), we'll drink 4 beers, play Christmas-themed quizzes, sing carols, maybe some prize giveaways, and whatever else happens on an evening spent drinking 10%+ beers.

I’m delighted to have teamed up with London’s Hop Burns and Black, and Belgium’s Etre Gourmet on tasting packs for the event. In each of these we’ve put some superb Belgian Christmas beers, including these classics:

St.Bernardus Christmas Ale

De Dolle Brouwers Stille Nacht

Brouwerij De Ranke Pere Noel

If you order with Etre Gourmet your 4th beer will be Brasserie de la Senne's Winter Mess

And if you order from Hop Burns and Black your 4th beer will be Anspach & Hobday's The Pfeffernüsse Stout

And if you can't get hold of them, get something local and independently-brewed wherever you find yourself!

We’ll be live on YouTube on December 3, so be sure to join. You can find the link to the youtube stream in the show notes, and more details will be coming across Brussels Beer City’s twitter, facebook and instagram.

So, stay tuned and see you on December 3rd!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LddGvzbexLg

Cabin Fever Episode - The Next Episode...

Season 1 · Episode 21

Tuesday, June 30, 2020 • Duration

Hi everyone, Eoghan here.

Wait, Wait Wait

If you’re a regular Cabin Fever listener, you’re probably wondering thinking, Didn’t I say that the previous episode would be his last?

Well, that’s true, to a point. But eagle-eared listeners may have also picked up in the last episode on my not so subtle hint about the possibility of a new, post-Cabin Fever project.

And here it is the Brussels Beer City Podcast.

The concept slightly different to Cabin Fever - and indeed predates it - for reasons that will be become clear.

Instead of me locked away in my room talking to people in distant countries, each week I’ll sit down with someone from Brussels in their favourite bar for a chat.

Have a listen to this sneak preview, and you can subscribe now to the podcast now on all the major podcast platforms, so if you’ve enjoyed Cabin Fever these past few months, be sure to give it a listen!

Over beers from Tempest, Lost and Grounded, Glazen Toren, and Unser Dorfbräu we talked about how it’s okay to not be okay right now, the rollback of lockdown where we are and the positives and negatives that come with it, and why Cabin Fever is a cat-free zone.

We had wanted to talk about the Black Lives Matter protests and the brutal police reaction, but unfortunately technical difficulties cut short our conversation.

I hope you listen in.
