The Moon Under Water has hosted a fair few guests over the years, and as a result there has been a monumental amount of choices made. Draught, bottles, spirits, wildcards... all stretching back since time itself began. But suppose you wanted to take a deep dive into the numbers behind the Pub of the Mind: does such a person exist who could interpret the statistics and come back with fun, digestible stats that provide you with a unique insight into what's happened so far? That person certainly DO...

Is there a better feeling than settling in at your favourite watering hole, drink in hand, and a good book to keep you company? Probably not, but one thing is for certain: if you were to be reading a copy of Empire of Booze by Henry Jeffreys you'd probably be sitting there until the book is finished (which probably means you'd finish a good few pints too). It's an absolute page-turner, and a book that anyone intrigued by the history and alcohol should have in their own personal library. Now if o...

Would you look at the time?! Why, it looks like it's time to begin our new-look deep dive into all things pint with the first edition of The Month in Pubs: think of it as a bit like The Week In Pubs, but with a months worth of content crammed into one special murmuration. The guys discuss their publy activities from across the past few weeks, dissect some of your Mist Mail, and generally have a ruddy lovely time. Do you have some Mist that you'd like to send to the guys? If so, send it to john@m...

Here in The Moon Under Water, time is an ever changing concept; such is the way of things in the Correct Realm. But every so often the Correct and Other Realms align in such a way that enables them to briefly merge together. These are the most special of occasions and deserve all the pomp and ceremony due to them! With that in mind we are thrilled to announce that to celebrate The Moon Under Water’s 100th episode we’ll be hosting a very special live show with none other than legendary Welsh Pint...

Anyone from Yorkshire will know that from the day there are only ever two drinks on offer: tea and ale. Whichever you choose depends on both your age and the time of day, but it means that those who grew up in God's Own Country have pubs running through their veins (not literally). Our guest this week is one such Yorkie - it's Maisie Adam! You may know Maisie from her appearances on Live at The Apollo, A League of Their Own, Mock The Week, and The Last Leg.

Comedy lends itself to spending a lot of time in pubs. Whether it's on a wooden box in a back room, on a carpeted stage in the corner or simply leaning on a bar sharing an anecdote to a large group of people, you're never too far away from a laugh in a pub. As such, the relationship between comedians and pubs can often be a special one.

Many of you will know of Kent as "The Garden of England", but what many of you won't know is that many years ago Kent was known by a different nickname: "The Beer Garden of England". This was due to its unusually large number of public benches, upon which each year millions of ramblers would rest their weary legs and treat themselves to a bottle of lager (or a pint of bitter should the necessary facilities be available). Public benches have since been replaced by public houses, and this week's g...
