In this episode, Rob returns from an extensive journey across the UK, sharing a "stream of consciousness" travelogue that spans from the bustling pubs of London to the snow-dusted streets of Edinburgh . He dives into the nuances of British pub culture—from the etiquette of "pay as you go" to the specific charm of low-ABV cask ales . Along the way, he navigates the "nerve-racking" experience of driving on one-lane blind curves in the Dales, hunts down filming locations for Slow Horses and Ted Lasso, and shares the saga of getting a traditional kilt sized in Scotland . Whether you're interested in the history of the Burton fermentation system or just want to hear about the "second best" historical figure in London, this episode is a deep dive into the soul of British beer and hospitality.
*To be on the lash is slang for tying one on or drinking substatially and having a good time.
