It's the first episode of the Fine Ale Countdown 'Open Gate Series'! Recorded live from the Guinness Open Gate Brewery, this is the first of 3 monthly instalments taking the dusty cellars on the road.

All the action in sponsored by The Taphouse bar in Ranelagh. Keep an eye out for Open Gate beers next time you're in the Taphouse!

Huge thanks to Neil Fitzpatrick for the music, and to Sentinel Audio for giving us a home.
