I hope you enjoy listening to this final season and please do consider it yet another reminder from me – and my incredible guests – that beer truly is for everyone.

Season 4

Thursday, July 8, 2021 • Duration 46:22

Today’s guest is Sophie de Ronde, Head Brewer at Burnt Mill Brewery.

Sophie lets us in on what her day-to-day role as a head brewer looks like… but she’s quick to acknowledge that her experience in the role likely isn’t the same as others.

That’s because in recent years Sophie learned she’s allergic to wheat and barley, so she can’t actually spend much time on the brewery floor or even enjoy the products of her labour… but she still loves making beer.

She talks us through how she went from serving beer, to brewing beer, and her time spent as a brewing technologist at a malt producer, too.
