This week Jonny tries desperately to promote our new beer festival, and to talk about his trip to Chicago and St Louis, but Brad is having none of it. So enjoy this treatise on why the Street Fighter movie sucked, Joaquin Phoenix's anxiety, freeze dried cheese, and old BMX bikes.

We're back with a bumper edition to make up for last week's no show. Despite talking for over an hour, we barely mention beer. But you knew that – so join us for a discussion of Jack in the Green festival, Nicholas Cage, Keanu Reeves, Matthew Perry, and a short bit about cider. OK, also lots of beer.

It's been a busy week for everyone at CBC – Brad's been getting drunk and ordering pizza, while Jonny has been running around Leeds with a former MP.  We also released a video about very strong, very dark lagers which got some really great comments.

Our podcast has finally made it over to Youtube! Crack a beer and join us every Friday at 5pm to wind down and a look back at the week in beer, including the comments on this week's Youtube video.

This week we REVOLUTIONISE podcasts by...following everyone else into making it a video podcast. So, join us here but also on Youtube for an enjoyable ramble about the big and horrible news in beer, this week's Tripel taste test and what we were filming before we did the pod....which is why we're a little tipsy.

Picture this. Brad in the driving seat, Jonny beside him, Aerosmith's Crazy on the stereo. Top down, Liv Tyler and Alicia Silverstone in the back. Matt Goss in the boot. No idea what we're talking about? Us neither. It's Friday 5pm.

This week we deconstruct Jonny's epic Best of the Best video, discuss where it all went wrong for Bitter, and then of course give the behind-the-scenes stories of our trip to Budvar in the Czech Republic... which is the main reason this week's video was late. Soz.
