To celebrate World Gin Day, the boys host a special on the spirit, covering gin’s epic history along with a collection of recommendations to try. Learn about the ori-gins (nice wordplay) of the phrase ‘Dutch courage’; the nasty stuff 17th century gin makers added to their spirit; juniper aphrodisiacs; and why plague doctors wore gimp masks.
There’s also a bit of amateur art appreciation of Hogarth’s Gin Lane 

Despite their motto ‘drink less, drink better’, in this week’s show they tasted:

East London Liquor Company Gin

Fords

Eightlands Organic Gin

Herno

Monkey 47

Plymouth Navy Strength

Boatyard double Gin

Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz

Gin 209

Aviation

Next week, they’ll be back on the beer and getting down to some Monky business with Tynt Meadow, the only Trappist Beer in Britain – made by friars at the Mount Saint Bernard Abbey in Leicestershire. Buy it from Beerwulf here for just £3.95 – all profits go to good deeds. So the more you drink, the better the world becomes.
