Hi guys, welcome to Drinks Tube. I'm Jonny from the craft beer boys and i'm here with
Hannah from my drunk kitchen. Hello!
What do you drink, when you're in the kitchen?
Um, anything that's available but usually wine. Er, ever beer? Um, I don't really like
beer but I love America, so maybe I like American beers. Well we'll see, we're gonna put you
against the best British, we're gonna get five beers from America, give beers from Britain,
we're gonna cover your eyes and we're gonna see which one you prefer, American or British beer.
May the best beer win.
OK first beers up, it's an IPA, I need you cover your eyes.
IPA, I barely know that A. These are IPAs, these are Indian Pale Ales. Swish. I'll start
with beer A, smells like beer. That's a good but broad start. Beer B, smells like team
spirit. Isn't that a deodorant? Tastes like beer, what else do I taste? You can taste
some melon, you could taste lemon. Ok. Which do you prefer? I prefer beer A. That was this
beauty from Odell. It's a win for the US. Kerching. The next one we're gonna do, it's
a red ale. The red ale you get a lovely red colour from the malts you use, a caramalt
which might suit a sweeter palate. I'm back, wow! What a pretty beer. That is gorgeous.Tell
me what's on the nose, what's the aroma? Ok, I smell... fields of barley. That's bang on,
actually. Singing sting in your head now. Ok this tastes, or smells lighter, more effervescent,
I've barely just got no palate for this stuff, what am I tasting, tell me what i'm tasting.
You're tasting some lovely toasty malts and then they've added a little bit of hops, so
you get a little citrusy edge. Yeah, yeah! You getting that, you feeling that, yeah,
I feel I can see it in your eyes. So which do you prefer? Well I think that beer B is
American, so I kinda wanna say that that one is better but I don't wanna lie to you and
honestly A, A tasted better. You sure you don't wanna change? Then that's one all! Well
done Brewdog! From Scotland, beautiful brewery. Well done! One, one. One all. Game on! It's
pretty, it's pretty tense in here. I feel very tense. We're moving on to our weird beers.
Can't say too much without Hannah finding out. Tah Dah! I'm back. Hmmm, we'll this ones
got quite the head on it's shoulders, ooo it does smell chocolatey, right? or no liquorice.
Yes! It's liquorice. There should be some chocolate, some liquorice. Chocolate and liquorice.
There should be a herb in there. Rhubarb? Er swing and a miss. No idea, what is that
herb? It's a mint chocolate stout. A mint chocolate stout, that is delicious. That smells
like tobacco or not tobacco but some sorta like- yeah. Some smokiness in there. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah I wanna say its some sort of burnt leaf. Burning is a good word. Eurgh, eurgh.
That is... are you pranking me? Am I being pranked? This is incredibly spicy. It is a
bit. Oh my god, nooo. That's... that's olive oil. I know! My mouth is a flame. You can
not tell me that somebody drinks that straight from the bottle. It's a chili beer, it's called
instant regret. Yeah. Which I think you can sympathise with. We can, share out the pain.
There is no way they make that in the United States of America. That's spicier that I remember.
That's not good and i'm voting A, which I'm hoping is from Gods given country. Well you're
going to be, ecstatic. Yes! Because yes. That's right we don't make things you can't sell
to a mass public audience. Well that is two one to America. Oh. I don't think I really
ever thought the chili beer was gonna win. Beer four is a pale ale, technically and American
pale ale. So it's your style but I think we've outdone you. Anything is gonna be better after
that chili beer. Well they look almost identical, ok we're gonna go with beer A, put it up the
nose. Hmmm, interesting, I'm saving my opinions for the very end. Erm I'm gonna guess, here
is my official stance. This one tastes, stronger, this one tastes more bland. They both pretty
much taste the same to me soooo I'm gonna let you pick. Cos I have no preference. Well
i've managed to forget which ones which, which makes this very, very pressured. I pick B
for British. Is he right? I don't know? Yes! Yeah he's right. Oh know, foiled again. Camden
town brewery, beautiful pale ale, very similar in style to sierra nevada. Great. There we
go, it's a tie, we've got one more round. Who will be the victor? You thought the last
one was a bit fizzy and watery so on that note lets do lagers! Lager! Woo! It's the
final beer round! Do do loo do! We're ready for you Hannah. I'm back. Whaaat? I always
thought that lagers were darker because it remind me of logs. Lagers are lighter. Ok
starting with A, mmm, beer, taste, again. Nice beer or bad beer? Quintessential. Ooo,
trying to scare me off with long words. Yep. Ok this scares like barely anything really.
Bring it in deep, don't snort it though, I've done that before. Erm, this is not good. But
this tastes better but I feel like this is, this is gonna be one of yours. So you're going
for this one. I'm going with A. You don't wanna change? I'm going with A. Are you happy
with what you've chosen? Sure. Which ever result there is, which is Britain winning!
Noooo. Schiehallion! Yes! Nooooo. Three, two get in there. Ok but what beer was the American
beer lager. What? What is the lager? That was, er this well known craft beer, the world's
most refreshing beer. You set me up. Yes. And you admitted it! Unbelievable. You have
basically given me water in a bottle and your punishment for winning, is that you have to
drink the rest of this. Feeling refreshed? Tastes like soda water. That's what you get
for cheating. I will never cheat again. That's right. Well Hannah, thanks so much for coming
and more importantly for losing. I think that was a rioting success, so anyone that really
enjoyed that should go check out Hannah's channel, my drunk kitchen. So we should cheers
though, with our favourite beers from today's proceedings. You were the mint stout. I was
the mint stout, I loved the mint stout. I'm gonna go with our friends at brewdog. Cheers!
Wonderful, where can people find you? You can find us at the craft beer channel or the
