Oz and James, what a pair!! Great television, great entertainment and fun all the way!
Excellent, thanks guys - at last something to look forward to in the middle of the week! (Besides the footy!)
The latest Oz and James adventure, after the drinks that speak for modern Britain. Meeting at the white cliffs of Dover, James meets Oz - no hugs please Oz! The how, when, who, what of food in Britain. James wants a pint (he does through the whole series) so off to Yorkshire!!
James calls Oz an international wine ponce and Oz calls James a scruffbag!
So now the third summer together! From the small to the large companies, breweries and whisky houses.
This year James selects a 1982 Rolls Royce Corniche convertible and a small caravan and I mean small. Watch out for the likelyhood of a burning caravan, see last episode.
Now back to yorkshire, Oz claiming to be a Yorkshire man himself. The Tan Hill Inn at the top of the Yorkshire moors. Sheep at the bahh!! A Yorkshire bitter and off goes Oz deep into the 'wine ponce' mode. Beer, boozing and fun.
Oz and James sleep in the small caravan, a metal tent as they describe it. Then up they get, off to study beer and its most important element, barley. Into a barley field and a lecture on grains, the husk, starches and their conversion to sugar and then alcohol. As Oz says you can make beer every week! Not a bit like wine.
Oz reckons we are civilised because we drink beer (I think that's what he said!).
The Fawcett family produce great beer and off the intrepid pair go to find out how. James takes a bag of malt with him. Next to Derbyshire and hops! Thornbridge, Jaippur beer. Great sweetness with bitterness. So the lads say!
Oz gets James to burp the beer back to get the flavours. So James reckons its tastes of....beer!!!
A vineyard in Yorkshire. Leventhorpe. James spits out the wine and hits Oz's shirt, a very funny moment!
Beer before Curry. A good idea. So off to a railway station with a bar, three of them along one line. Drink a pint, get the train... no driving. Great! Opps there is the train. Off at Huddersfield. Next train is delayed and they nearly miss it. Too much beer and where are the tickets?
Next Staybridge and another pint.
Back to the caravan and a good nights sleep...................
Bakeware and more ......
