Welcome back to the Manor! Get ready to pour a pint of bitter or to light your pipe. We're even okay if you play your violin while you listen, but we don't recommend doing any cocaine. Ever. Not even a 7% solution.
Our first Sherlock Holmes episode! Sure, we've mentioned him off the cuff a few times, but in this episode we're going all out and discussing the Hound of the Baskervilles! Don't worry, though. No huge spoilers. Just very tiny minimal ones that won't ruin the ending. But to be fair, you've had well over 100 years to have read it, so that's on you.
But wait! There's more! We're also talking about the overlap between this and Scrooge McDuck! Aren't you glad you're here.
So listen on and enjoy!
Next week's episode is literary firsts... well, some anyway.

Welcome back to the Manor! Have you ever wondered why some Scottish ales and some Belgian, particularly Trappist, ales have numbers on them? Wonder no more! We get into the shilling system used in Scotland and the numbering system used by Trappist brewers.
Pour yourself a pint of either or something else and listen on!
Next week's episode is on Sherlock Holmes and Scrooge McDuck! Kind of.

Episode 391: The Pythons Arms Pub (Monty Python)
Friday May 16, 2025
Friday May 16, 2025
Welcome back to the Manor and welcome to another Monty Python episode! Well, more or less. It definitely involves Monty Python, or at least 1/6th of them, but also involves pubbing things. So more or less what we always talk about. Pour yourself a cask ale and enjoy this episode on the pub that started as one of, if not the first, micro-breweries!
Next week's episode is about the Scottish shilling system and the Belgian numbering system of their ales.

Episode 386: What happens when your pint size is reduced
Friday Apr 11, 2025
Friday Apr 11, 2025
Welcome back to the Manor! Okay, the title is a bit misleading. But would the title "study analyzes what happens when full pints are reduced to 2/3rds pint" have piqued your interest? I think not!
But it is an overlap, to see what would happen if pint sizes were reduced. Listen in to see what happened when a study in the UK had a dozen voluntary pubs reduce their pint sizes. Did it reduce drinking? If so, by how much? Did anything else change?
Listen on! After pouring yourself either a full pint or a 2/3rds of a half or whatever you want. It's all voluntary here at the Manor, as well!
Next week's episode is the 4th of our Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti 50th anniversary episodes, with their touring for the PG album.
