Tanked Up 126 – Highway to the Danger Zone

Once again Ben and Aadil discuss the absurdity of misogyny

Once again Ben and Aadil discuss the absurdity of misogyny, this time from the beery side of the coin, relating to a South African brewery’s branding strategy. They’ve also been playing some games, coincidentally both playing puzzle games. Aadil talks Picross Luna and Ben gives his first impressions of Danger Zone 2.

Aadil has a theme this week and drinks ‘Dutty’ a Vermont style IPA from Tiny Rebel and the Vermont IPA from Browar Pinta. Ben has no such theme except that it’s a warm day and drinks Ilkley Brewery’s ‘Juiced in Time’ and another Northern Powerhouse beer, the 003 – mixed fermentation farmhouse from Wylam and Black Lodge.

Ben is like a fine wine, he spends far to much time in cellars. He deliberately developed a stutter and a slur and walks with a limp to conceal his raging alcohol problem. Once beat up a fish for looking at him funny. Ben hosts the Tanked up podcast, but we are pretty sure he isn't aware of that.
