From your weekly shop to your pint at the pub, nothing’s safe from inflation madness.

This week on Lager’s Off, we’re uncapping a brew from the Mediterranean island of Corsica while diving into some delightfully unpredictable discussions.  That’s not all—our episode also delves into ADHD, from the superpower of hyperfocus to the hurdles of executive function, all while tasting one of the most unique beers we’ve ever featured. It’s the kind of session where a Corsican lager somehow takes us into the world of arachnid behaviour and neurodivergent minds—exactly the kind of meandering chat we love. Grab your favourite pint glass and join us for another wonderfully chaotic journey through hops, spiders, and the intricate beauty of how our minds work. Cheers! Beer is Pietra IPA.

Can you still make jokes? Where's the line? And how do you survive in an office when everything feels like a potential HR incident? Plus: Why American beer doesn't deserve all the hate, our worst workplace moments, and which Spinal Tap song we'd want played at our funerals. Beer is: Stone IPA (big can)
