This week on Beers & B-Sides, we drop the needle on one of the most talked-about albums of the 21st century – Beyoncé's Lemonade.

As always, we kick things off with our Home Brewed segment, where we shine a spotlight on a talented artist from the North East and introduce you to some brilliant new local music.

Then it's time to dive into Lemonade. We rewind to 2016 to look at what was happening around the world before exploring Beyoncé's journey from Destiny's Child to global superstar, the creation of Lemonade, and why it became such a landmark release.

While this isn't the kind of album some of us would normally reach for, its incredible blend of R&B, rock, country, soul, blues and hip-hop had us questioning our expectations. We chat about our favourite tracks, the songs that didn't quite land for us, the singles, our favourite side of the vinyl, different pressings we own, and any memories of seeing Beyoncé perform live.

Did Lemonade change a few minds around the table? Was it a pleasant surprise, or does it still sit outside our comfort zones?

Join four friends with a shared love of vinyl as we crack open a drink, spin another classic, and round things off with our Last Orders Verdict—would we buy the record, or leave it on the shelf?

New music. Vinyl. Great conversation. That's Beers & B-Sides.
