    HPR4734: HPR Beer Garden 20 - TuxJam Half-cut Special

    24/09/2026
    This show has been flagged as Clean by the host.

    The usual trio of
    Dave
    ,
    Kevie
    and
    Paul
    meet up for the first time in person and are joined by
    Al
    ,
    Andrew
    ,
    Joe
    and Rainy. The meet up was for the
    TuxJam Half-cut
    live event in Manchester. Rather than the usual style of show this is a (mostly) unedited recording of the beers that we are trying and general yarns around the table. We were interrupted by a yelling numpty, a middle-aged boy racer and a tram (these were edited out), but otherwise the recording is pretty much as is. The show was recorded outside the
    Sureshot Brewery Taproom
    .
