This week, the lads have a crack at returning champions 'Blacks of Kinsale', and their Black IPA.

From our dusty cellars, to your childhood dreams, the Fine Ale Countdown is now in session! Hear about some gone off beer, why the French powdered their Frenchie faces and what Manus' political platform would be. There's a pinch of beer reviewing too.

This Fine Ale Countdown is brought to you by Manus Cronin, Jack Toner, Gavin Carberry, and James Belfast. The host of the show is Ben Clifford. You can reach the show via Twitter or Instagram @FAleCountdown. If you enjoyed the show make sure to subscribe, rate and get in touch!
