S01 E05 - The Wigan Kebab

We know, we know. The Meat & One Veg Podcast might be better named The Wine & Two Pints Podcast. And it's in that vain we go big on beer in this episode.

Food writer Simon Carlo chats to beer guru Laura Hadland. Beer doesn't agree with Simon and Laura doesn't agree with some beer, hence the 'bleeps'! She guides us through the wonderful world of hops, barley, water and yeast and teaches us a few things that will help even the most beer-phobic find something to suit their taste.

Then we have a quick catch-up with Sai from god-tier, Brum, street food stalwarts Buddha Belly. They're about to open their first bricks-and-mortar restaurant, so find out about that along with some of the BB origin story.

More food in the next episode. Promise. CHEERS!
