Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is available for £1.80 in supermarkets including Waitrose. 

Ocho Blanco Tequila is available from Whisky Exchange in 50cl bottles for £22.45.

Next week: Ben & Tom are joined by special guest, the Frenchman Marcel Lucont, a flâneur, raconteur and bon-viveur, expert in charming women and insulting the stupid, and wine connoisseur. Together they will be comparing English with French wines in the form of:

Jenkyn Place Blanc de Blancs, £38, from the Jenkyn Place shop direct.

And Taittinger Brut Reserve NV, £28.50 at Waitrose.
