Doctor Who & A Beer

Doctor Who is back! So is David Tennant. Not as the 10th Doctor but the 14th.

And I have just the beer for watching the three specials and then the Christmas Day appearance of the 15th Doctor, Space Time Sipper DDH IPA a collaboration between Tarantula Hill and Casa Agria.

“With an extraordinary hop lineup including Mosaic, Citra, Cryo 586, Simcoe, and Riwaka, this brew is crafted for the ultimate cosmic experience. It’s like sipping on a starlit dream, with the first dry hop showcasing Cryo 586, Citra, and Riwaka, and the second stage burn featuring an intergalactic blend of Nectaron, Simcoe, and Mosaic.”

For a deeper cut, Urban Roots has a barrel-aged beer by the name of Demon’s Run that has brandy barrels in its pedigree. An only viewers and River Song know where the brandy is hidden on the Tardis.

Need another L.A. suggestion? Benny Boy Brewing has a new bourbon barrel-aged Cherry cider coming December 10th, named Madame Ruby. And the new Doctor’s companion is named, Ruby Sunday.

A Podcast & A Beer – David Tennant Does a Podcast With…

This choice should not come as a shock to those who read the blog and have caught on to my Whovian tendencies. Normally, I am not a big fan of the simple interview podcast. I prefer strange characters or plot twists or just straight up beer talk.

But I tell you, the way that David Tennant speaks is just great. Such a strong accent but you understand every word and so far, he has been interviewing actors that he has ties with so it is all very informal shop talk. Behind the scenes stuff, actory tidbits and a little, “how I became an actor” backstory.

I would try to pair beers with the guests. Perhaps a golden ale from England for Olivia Colman. Maybe a Tardis blue, blueberry accented sour for Jodie Whittaker. For John Hamm’s episode maybe a Mad Men inspired bourbon-barrel aged stout.

Or you could just hit the nail on the head and have a Tennant’s lager.
