For Movies and Booze this week, Sean was joined by Dean McGuinness, Chris Wasser and Rachel Ryan with thanks to Marks and Spencer. Today’s Pale Ales are listed below. Moosehead Pale Ale is an English Pale Ale of 5.0% A.B.V and is brewed in St. John, New Brunswick, Canada. Moosehead Pale Ale presents as pale straw gold beer with a solid white head. At 5% a.b.v., this beer is an incredibly easy drinking beer, but it has substantial complexity. It does not ‘punch the drinker in the face’ with flavour, but it most definitely has many layers of flavour. Interstellar Pale Ale is an American Pale Ale by Outer Place Brewing brewed in Kildare and collaborating breweries. Interstellar belongs in the American Pale Ale style. Brewed with American hops – Cascade and Strata, this beer combines the essence of a West Coast IPA with a juicy New England IPA, but is brewed as an American Pale Ale (rather than as an IPA) – with an a.b.v. of 5% and a less assertive but notable hop bitterness.

For Movies and Booze this week Tom Dunne was joined by Arlene Hunt, Mick O'Connell, and Annette Freeman. This week's wines with thanks to Marks and Spencer included: Combel la Serre Pur Fruit - This is a Malbec from the Cahors region in the South West of France. The original home of the grape before Argentina stole the mantle. This is a delightfully refreshing example, particularly when chilled, and shows blackberry and violet aromas, the hallmarks of this grape variety. This wine is done in the Beaujolais style and sees no oak to keep it light and bright. Craven Cinsaut - By Mick & Jeanine Craven in Stellenbosch. Cinsaut was once the workhorse grape for South African fortified wine production. When young the vines give a huge bounty of average quality fruit. As the vines age the complexity of the aromas go up as the harvest size goes down. This is a complex, but light & refreshing example. Delicious out of the fridge and it’s low alcohol makes it perfect for any occasion.
