| 207 - Barside Chat with the Topic Jar | 26 Aug 2024 | 01:16:16 | |
We know you love hearing us chat, so this week we bring back the topic jar and answer some burning questions.
Would you rather go to a consistent brewery with only a limited amount of styles or a brewery with more styles but their quality could be hit or miss?
What do you do if someone wants to go to Spoons or Brewdog?
What are your craft beer red flags – this was a great one and we’ve put the question back in the jar to come up with amber and green flags next time!
Have you got questions for us to add to the jar? Let us know and we’ll pop it in!

| 206 - The Complex World of Gueuze | 19 Aug 2024 | 01:11:08 | |
This week we dive into the intricate world of Gueuze—a complex and traditional Belgian beer. We'll cover everything from the meticulous cork removal process to the distinct appearances, aromas, and flavours of their chosen versions. Together, they compare the carbonation, foam, and colour of their drinks, and explore the layers of tartness, dryness, and fruity funk that make these beers so unique.
We will also take you through the fascinating history of Gueuze, the specific serving temperatures, and the traditional glassware that enhance the drinking experience. You'll hear about their adventures finding Lambic baskets, the artistry behind the brewing process, and the fascinating revival of traditional beer styles in Belgium.
In this episode we drank
Oude Geuze from Boon Cuvee Rene Oude Gueuze by Lindemans
Do you want us to explore the lambic styles more? Let us know!

| 197 - Lager Series: Dortmunder Export | 17 Jun 2024 | 01:27:12 | |
Our lager series continues this week with the lesser known Dortmunder Export. We have examples from Lost & Grounded, Exhale and Culmination Brewing and take you through what you should expect from this classic style.
We won't just stop with the tasting notes, though. We’ll also be your guides through the optimal glassware and serving temperatures to ensure you get the best out of each pour and possible food pairing options. We trace the historical roots of the DAB Brewery, unfolding its journey through the technological revolution of refrigeration in the late 19th century, its resilience post-World War II, and its eventual mergers with prominent brewing groups. We'll delve into how Dortmunder Export became a significant component of German beer sales and the intriguing sulfuric notes that define this beer style.
As is our way, we take a few detours during this episode – look out for talk about Bristol, St Patricks Day and international supermarkets!
We drank: Newstalgic 7 from Lost & Grounded Zorc from Exhale Dork from Culmination Brewing
Check out the rest of our lager series here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmO-fOFdLEdqjHZZ2nkKqXCB6zg_UW2Jq
Recommend us a Dortmunder!

| 107 - Not Barley Wines (Revisited) | 26 Sep 2022 | 01:06:34 | |
Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer! Back in episode 67 we talked you through barley wines. These strong ales were brewed to be stored and aged and modern brewers are doing interesting things with them. This week we take a look at NOT barley wines! Close relative to the barley wine is the wheat, oat and rye wine and we sample an example of each. How do the different grains change this beer style? Why would brewers use these alternative grains and which do we like best? Have you tried any of these not barley wines? Let us know in the comments. And if you missed it, you can listen back to episode 67 here: https://awomansbrew.sounder.fm/episode/067-barley-wine Or watch episode 67 here: Get in Touch: Email: lovebeerlearning@gmail.com Website: http://www.lovebeerlearning.co.uk Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/lovebeerlearning Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lovebeerlearning Tori: @adventures_in_hoptimism Joanne: @awomansbrew.

| 106 Brave Noise Round Up Ep 5 Vault City | 18 Sep 2022 | 00:43:54 | |
Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer! In the next episode of our UK Brave Noise round up we chat to Vendy from Vault City about their Brave Noise brew. In true Vault City fashion they brewed a twist on the recipe creating a pineapple sour pale. It stays true to both the brewery and Brave Noise while still being refreshing, accessible and making a noise for awareness – exactly what we need! Vendy talks about her experience of brewing the beer and her time at Vault City who are an excellent example of how breweries can get involved with Brave Noise. The beer is unfortunately sold out, but you can check out other Vault City beers here: And find out how to get involved with Brave Noise here: https://www.bravenoisebeer.com/ Get in Touch: Email: lovebeerlearning@gmail.com Website: http://www.lovebeerlearning.co.uk Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/lovebeerlearning Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lovebeerlearning Tori: @adventures_in_hoptimism Joanne: @awomansbrew.

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer! In another of our Brave Noise episodes we are honoured to talk to Ash & Ren from the Brave Noise team while they were at London Craft Beer Festival this summer.

| 102 - Cocktail Beers - Strawberry Daiquiri | 22 Aug 2022 | 01:06:26 | |
Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer! We’ve got a light hearted episode for you today which has been in the making for a while. What are your thoughts on cocktails? Then what are your thoughts on cocktail flavoured beers?! In what we hope will be a series of episodes, we take a look at the strawberry daiquiri. But what’s in it and how do you make one? And how to you make a beer version? We taste a cocktail in a can from All Shook Up, which is readily available in Tesco. Then we compare it to Phantom Brew Co’s Paying with Naivety and our very own She’s Fruity – our IWCBD beer with Lost Industry. Are you a cocktails drinker? Which should we cover next?

| 101 - Dessert Beers | 15 Aug 2022 | 01:00:29 | |
Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer! Coming down from our 100thepisode, we decided to continue the celebration with some cake! We bring to you dessert beers! These are not for the ‘beer should taste like beer’ crowd as they definitely taste of other things. We compare Yonder & Vault City’s carrot cake sours and try them against actual carrot cake. Then we continue with Vault and try their collaboration beers with S43 – white chocolate raspberry cheesecake sour and cherry cheesecake imperial stout – but does it actually taste like the cheesecakes on our plates? Controversial talk in this episode – how do you have your scones and what are your feelings on sultanas?! Head to Instagram to let us know your thoughts!

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer! We’re making a Brave Noise again! In episode 3 of our Brave Noise roundup, we chat with James and Helen from Wilderness Brewery. Not only are they a wild fermentation brewery from Wales, but also for a long while Wilderness was just James. They may be small but they are mighty! We have an excellent conversation about how men may feel that Brave Noise isn’t for them or they can’t take part in the initiative. But Brave Noise and equality is for everyone, just like beer is for everyone! What breweries do you want to see take part in Brave Noise? Let us know over on Instagram!

| 098 - Something in the Water | 25 Jul 2022 | 01:11:15 | |
Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer! There is definitely something in the water – probably because beer is 90% water! It’s a fairly important ingredient when it comes to brewing our favourite beverage but it’s also quite a complicated subject. In this episode we look at water profiles around the world that have shaped some of the beer styles you love today. We’re talking IPA, Gose and Czech Pilsner. We also taste a beer made in two different places to see if the water is really that important (spoiler – it is!) Check out Attic Brew Co’s blog about their pilsner here: If you can get your hands on some, it is a real treat! And if you want to know more about water or see us blind taste more beers, head on over to Instagram to let us know!

| 196 - Book Club: Girly Drinks | 10 Jun 2024 | 01:59:06 | |
We’ve been talking about it for ages, so here it finally is – our first book club episode and we’re reading Girly Drinks by Mallory O’Meara which dives into the fascinating intersection of beer, history, and powerful women.
Join us as we unravel historical narratives, challenge gender stereotypes, and celebrate the unsung heroines of the alcohol industry. From Cleopatra's controversial portrayal to the inspiring achievements of master blender Joyce Spence, we'll highlight the powerful stories of women and their relationships with alcohol throughout history that O’Meara has brought forth for us.
We'll also discuss ancient drinking rituals, debunk myths surrounding alewives and witches, and share our personal experiences with beer cocktails inspired by history. Plus, don't miss our thoughts on the book's chapters, their immersive drink pairings, and Tori's adventures with Chat GTP-generated recipes.
So grab a beer cocktail and O’Meara’s amazing book and read along with us!
Find the playlist that accompanies the book here: https://www.hurstpublishers.com/book/girly-drinks/

| 097 - What is a Froze? | 18 Jul 2022 | 01:23:41 | |
Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer! Froze or froze? Or Froz-ah?! If you’re anything like us, you love an interesting beer, and fruited Gose is definitely interesting! Not one for the ‘why doesn’t beer taste like beer’ crowd, the fruited gose can taste anything from a fruit smoothie to a cocktail that needs a little umbrella and a beach. We look at froze beers from our friends Merakai Brewing Co and Fallen Acorn and compare them to a fruited gose from Goodh Brew Co and a Smoothie Sour from Drekker x F**K Cancer Project. What makes these beers ‘beer’, how are they made and why do we love them so much? Are you for or against fruited gose/froze/smoothie sours? Head over to Instagram and let us know!

| 195 - Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice | 03 Jun 2024 | 01:43:13 | |
Here at A Woman’s Brew, it’s always Pumpkin Spice season! We missed our pumpkin episode last autumn, but we have finally got round to trying our selection of pumpkin spiced beers for you now.
From the aroma reminiscent of freshly roasted coffee with a hint of warming spices, to the unexpected flavour profiles that these unique beers deliver, we'll leave no pumpkin unexplored. As we savour each sip, we'll share our thoughts, preferences, and memories, from childhood pumpkin carving experiences to our university days of culinary exploration.
Join us as we recount the origins of our pumpkin fascination, debate the authenticity of whimsically named pumpkin varieties in our fun "Real or Fake" game, and explore the history and versatility of pumpkins in both food and beer. We'll also take a nostalgic detour to discuss our experiences with pumpkin spice items like pop tarts and lattes, and reflect on the influences of our diverse family cuisines.
What was your favourite pumpkin spice beer? Let us know!

| 080 - We Make A Brave Noise! | 21 Mar 2022 | 01:15:48 | |
Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer! We are making a Brave Noise – both physically and by brewing the beer! If you haven’t heard about Brave Noise, it is a global collaboration beer started by Brienne Allan. It started as a question: “Have you ever experienced sexism in the beer industry?” This opened the flood gates to reports of not just sexism, but racism, homophobia and sexual assault within the beer industry and community. To honour those that have spoken out and to try to have a safer, more inclusive beer industry, the Brave Noise collaboration was born. To take part breweries must submit their code of conduct and make this publicly available to staff and consumers. They must also commit to doing the long term work of building a more inclusive industry and make a donation to an appropriate charity or non-profit that reflects the mission of the collaboration. We were honoured to be asked by Merakai Brewing Co to be part of their Brave Noise brew – not only brewing the beer with them but also expressing why the cause is so important to us and helping to choose the non-profit partner to receive funds from the sale of the beer. We chose The Coven Brewsters Wellness Officer initiative. These with be trained staff that will attend beer events and festivals to help, support and act as witness for attendees. In this episode we talk to the whole of our Brave Noise Team: Emma O’Neill-Parsons @merakai_brewing Bex Morton @bexdrinksbeer Emmie Harrison-West @beerwomxn Kimberly Owen @craftbeerpinup Leeann Craven @craftbeer_redhead Ranjana Cartwright @ranji86 And shout out to Rebecca Price (@beerme_becky) who couldn’t make it. The beer has SOLD OUT from the Merakai website already but check out their socials to find all the local stockists who have supported the cause and grab yours from there. If you would like to learn more about Brave Noise and encourage your favourite brewery to take part check out the website here: And if you want to find out more about The Coven Brewsters, check out episode 53 where we talked to their founder Pip here: Get in Touch: Email: lovebeerlearning@gmail.com Website: http://www.lovebeerlearning.co.uk Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/lovebeerlearning Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lovebeerlearning Tori: @adventures_in_hoptimism Joanne: @awomansbrew.

| 194 - The Beer Flight Debate | 27 May 2024 | 01:40:36 | |
How do you feel about beer flights? Here at A Woman’s Brew both Tori and Jo are big advocates for beer flights - both for beer choices, pour size and beer education. But there is a debate going on as to whether a beer flight works for breweries and taprooms – does it slow down service? Not give the best representation of the beer? Or maybe there isn’t enough space for glass storage?
We look through two articles and decide if we agree with the opinions, of if we are still pro-flight.
What are your thoughts on beer flights? Are you for or against?
Check out the articles here:
Article one from Inside Hook: https://www.insidehook.com/beer/why-breweries-saying-no-beer-flights
Article two from Punch Drink: https://punchdrink.com/articles/craft-beer-flights-debate/

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer! In our first episode of 2022 we are lucky enough to chat with Paul from Orbit Beers.
