Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer! Continuing our Women’s History Month series, we chat to Shannon from Brew Export UK. Shannon has built a global export business based on a college project that has been successfully running for 7 years. Despite Covid and US restrictions, Brew Export UK is managing to bring US craft beer to the UK at excellent prices and through cold chain storage. Shannon’s story is quite inspiring and we loved chatting to her, finding out what is to come from Brew Export UK. We hope to have a beer with her one day in the future!

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
We’ve come to the end of 2022 and it’s time to review and reflect. We look back at our beer goals for the year and help each other set new ones for 2023. We also look over those all important Untappd stats and once again, Tori has influenced the beer choices!
We look back at all we’ve achieved this year – brewing beer, advocating for women in beer and supporting the Brave Noise initiative as best we can to name a few!
We’re planning for 2023 – what do you want to hear from A Woman’s Brew? Email us on awomansbrewpodcast@gmail.com and let us know!

| 27 Feb 2023 | 131 - Cocktail Beers - Pina Colada | 01:02:39 | |
Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
We are back on the cocktail train this week and seeing if a beer can really recreate the flavours of a Pina Colada,
A cocktail that Tori and Jo can both agree on liking, a creamy, pineapple and coconut infused Pina Colada is difficult to recreate in beer form, but we try a few to see how they do. Pineapple and coconut are flavours we recognise in beer from hops like Sabro, which divides the beer community! Will these beers do the same? Along side a cider and a couple of different cocktails in a can we tried:
Bermuda Triangle Holiday Home by Elusive Sunset Overdrive by Vocation Shake The Tree by Siren Brew Co Smooth Ops Pina Colada hard seltzer by 3 Brothers Brewing
Did you miss our other cocktail inspired episode about strawberry Daiquiris? Catch up here:

| 17 Jun 2024 | 197 - Lager Series: Dortmunder Export | 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!

| 08 Apr 2024 | 188 - Quarter 1 2024 Review: Completing Our Goals One Sip At A Time! | 01:32:54 | |
It's been a wild ride this first quarter of 2024, keeping us busy when we should be working on our beer goals and the drink harder challenge! Despite our best efforts to stay on top of our beer check-ins and tracking, we admit, keeping up has been a bit of a struggle. But it's all in the name of good beer and great company!
But! We have a few updates for you, including our memorable visit to Craft Beer Junction and savouring beers blended with intriguing fruits. Jo chats about her dedication to tracking the beer styles she tries this year and how she faced mixed emotions when drinking a whiskey drink, a vodka drink, a lager drink, and a cider drink – all in one sitting!
Tori is on a mission to widen her circle of beer appreciation and engage in heartfelt conversations with fellow enthusiasts. She tells us of her experience of hosting her first panel and is planning some trips in 2024 – so make sure you are following us on socials to see where she ends up. Oh!.... Did we mention we’re in a book too?! How are your beer goals going so far in 2024? Let us know!

| 05 Jun 2023 | 145 - Fine Cider | 01:42:14 | |
We are straying from beer this week and taking a deep dive into fine cider! With breweries doing collabs with cider makers, we thought you’d like to know a bit more about this apple-based beverage.
We talk you through how cider making differs from brewing and some of the lingo you need to know when choosing a cider to try.
Cider tasting is a lot like beer tasting so we talk you through a selection of ciders we though were interesting including:
One the Beech 2020 by Little Pomona Three collabs from Three Hills and Saxby’s A gose inspired cider from Hogans Cider
Are you a regular cider drinker? What would you recommend to us?

| 27 May 2024 | 194 - The Beer Flight Debate | 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! We’ve finally been able to take the podcast on the road! This week we talk you through our experiences at Bigfoot Festival in Warwickshire. Tori went along as a volunteer for Full Circle Brewing Co and Jo brought along her friend Liz who doesn’t drink beer and doesn’t camp! Each of us shares our unique perspective on how we felt before the festival, what it was like there and our top tips for anyone going to a beer festival in the future. Jo is particularly excited as she managed to find a beer that Liz liked! We didn’t get to record as much at the event as we wanted to, mainly because we were having too much fun! But be prepared for our Saturday recording session – it was a bit loud! Did you go to Bigfoot Festival? What was your best moment? Have we missed any beer festival tips? Let us know in the comments!

A lot has changed since Merakai opened in 2020 and we are here for it! Producing a range of beer styles from non alcoholic like It’s a Thirst Trap, New England’s like Am I The Drama, and crazy tasty pastry stouts like The Good Left Undone and Affogato, Merakai makes something for everyone.

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
We are joined by the wonderful Alix from Gritchie Brewing Co – that’s the brewery owned by Guy Richie if you didn’t know!
Alix has had a varied brewing career and talks us through the role of cellar manager, one of her previous jobs, and the day to day of a head brewer. Her background is in chemistry and we discuss women and STEM subjects and how you don’t equate science leading to jobs in beer – it’s actually vital!

| 14 Oct 2024 | 214 - Mount Rushmore Beers | 01:11:27 | |
Who are the pioneers of the craft beer scene? Inspired by Vine Pair’s article ‘The Mount Rushmore of Craft Breweries” we embark on a spirited discussion about the UK craft breweries that have carved a significant niche in the beer landscape. We share our personal picks for a UK "Mount Rushmore" of craft breweries, with Jo highlighting Thornbridge, Cloudwater, The Kernel, and Verdant for their innovation, quality, and foundational impact on the craft scene.
We dive into the unique contributions of each brewery, from Thornbridge's famed Jaipur to Cloudwater's groundbreaking styles, The Kernel’s commitment to historical recipes, and Verdant’s mastery of the New England IPA.
We also discuss the selection criteria for these influential breweries, the balance between personal bias and historical impact, and the humor found in the quirks of beer history. Our conversation even touches on broader global influences with mentions of other notable breweries and the intricacies of the craft beer evolution on both sides of the Atlantic.
We navigate through Tori’s noteworthy mention of breweries like Vault City, Elusive and Emperor’s. As always, you'll find a blend of engaging anecdotes, light banter, and deep dives into the craft beer culture.
Who would be on your Mount Rushmore of craft beer?

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer! We brewed a beer! And our wonderful friend Rachel at Heist Brew Co made it all possible. We were honoured to be asked to brew with Heist and to have the opportunity to develop the beer from recipe creation right through to naming and art work! Together we created a very drinkable peanut butter and jelly porter (using Jo’s base porter recipe!) called When The Beer Is So Lit You Turn Into A Bagel! We also chat to Rachel about the life of a brewer – congrats Rachel for just getting a full time position on the brew team at Heist. We chat about her journey into brewing, so if you are thinking of this path give us a listen to see how Rachel did it. Our beer is only available at the Heist taproom so if you are in Sheffield or can get there go try it now and let us know what you think! You can buy other Heist beers from their webshop here: https://www.heistbrewco.com/store Check out photos from our brew day on our insta here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CViV01tKY8q/ Heist are now a firm friend of the show and we can’t wait to visit them and brew again.

| 22 Jun 2021 | 041 - Doki Doki Comparison | 00:22:02 | |
Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer! Tori & Jo are out and about recording on the road, but we didn’t want to leave you hanging. Here’s a bonus episode we’ve been saving for a special occasion. Back in October, Boutilliers released a green hop version of their core beer Doki Doki – a Helles lager. Whereas the original version is hopped with Polaris and Hallertau, Green Doki was hopped with fresh English Challenger. Jo discusses what OG stands for and how brewers find the ABV of their beers. As a homebrewer there are lots of apps that can help with this – Jo’s fave is Brewer’s Friend which you can check out here: https://www.brewersfriend.com/ We are heading towards green hopped beer season again – did you get a chance to try Green Doki Doki? What other green hopped beers have you had? If you would like to know more about green hopped beer we covered it in episode 7 which you can listen to here: https://awomansbrew.sounder.fm/episode/greenhopvspumpkin

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer! We’re not sommeliers, but let’s talk barley wine. The nights are drawing in and we need big beers to sip by the fire (even if it’s playing on YouTube). We look at the history of barley wines and compare English and American styles. We also talk about what constitutes a wheat wine. So go grab yourself some big beers for the holiday season and let us know what your favourite is over on Instagram.

| 06 Feb 2023 | 128 - Brave Noise Roundup Ep9 - Elusive Brew Day | 01:05:53 | |
Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
In the second part of our Brave Noise roundup, we share conversations we had during our brew day at Elusive Brewing. On the day we were joined not only by Ruth, but also by Pip from The Coven and Charlotte from Coalition Brewing…. Oh and Bertie, Ruth’s dog!
Over a few beers we talked about codes of conduct and how they not only show a brewery or event’s stance, but should also make them safe and welcoming places we want to be in. No tick box exercises here!
Money raised from the Brave Noise beer we brewed will go towards The Coven’s Wellness Officer programme; Pip explains what this is and why they should be an essential (paid) role at all festivals and events.
We also discuss active bystander training, the progress that has been made in making change (however slow it may be) and that we are not hysterical, we are not dramatic, we are not scared to stand up and make a brave noise – we’re not going to stop!

| 22 Nov 2021 | 063 - A Conversation With... Top Rope | 01:58:23 | |
Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer! Happy Birthday to Top Rope – 5 years young! We can honestly say that A Woman’s Brew: The Podcast wouldn’t exist without Top Rope and their Cold Stone Cream Austin range, which we featured in one of our first ever episodes. (we looked at Ice Cream Pale Ales in episode 003, which you can listen to here: https://awomansbrew.sounder.fm/episode/icecreampaleales) If you don’t know, Top Rope loves wrestling, and their co-founder Neil has some very deep knowledge about the subject. We find out how they come up with their beer names (spoiler – it’s to do with wrestling but often it’s not as obvious as you would think) and how they managed to get Frank Turner to do a gig at the brewery. A massive thank you to Neil for coming on and we will definitely be stopping by the tap room when we get up to Liverpool! Top Rope’s birthday beers are available on their webshop now here: https://www.topropebrewing.com/shop 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! What happens when a brewery decides to go a little off book…. Maybe they add tea to their beer, maybe they add a certain brand of chocolate? Or maybe they pair with a well known fence paint company?! In this episode we look at when breweries work with (or emulate) well known brands and if they really taste like the product they are paired with. Beers in this episode include: Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter UnBarred Raspberry Tea Sour with Bird & Blend Northern Monk Jam Roly Poly Pale with Aunt Bessies Vault City Iron Brew Sour How do you feel about breweries pairing with big brands?

| 22 Apr 2024 | 190 - Lager Series: Mexican Lager | 01:09:53 | |
This week, we're embarking on a flavourful journey south of the border to explore the enigmatic world of Mexican lagers. But do we once again have more questions than answers? We contrast craft enthusiasms with macro lager charm and question how a slice of lime became synonymous with a whole genre of beer.
From the Austrian-brewed history of the Vienna lager's Mexican adventures to the European and American perspectives that have painted our knowledge of these beers, we not only taste some UK versions but alos look at the colonial history of Mexico that has shaped it’s brewing heritage.
So whether you have a Corona in hand or a Cerveza, join us while we try to define what a ‘Mexican Lager’ actually is.
In this episode we drink: Cerveza from Fierce Beer Luz from Omnipollo Mexican Lager from Northern Monk.
Do you have Mexican beer recs for us? Let us know your top picks! Here are the articles that Jo recommends you read about Mexican lager: https://www.casketbeer.com/home/2022/12/1/mexican-lager-history-and-appropriation https://beerisforeveryone.com/colonialism-and-the-legacy-of-lager-in-mexico/amp/

| 11 Mar 2024 | 184 - Lager Series: West Coast Pils | 01:08:27 | |
Who knew there could be some new hotness in lager?! Continuing our lager series, we look at West Coast Pils, which is billed to be the hottest beer style of 2024 (do you agree?!)
As a new style, there aren’t any definite style guidelines for West Coast Pils yet, so we dig into what you should expect. We tried three versions from UK breweries and look at what factors are shaping the style.
We drank: Ricochet by Siren Brew Co West Coast Pils by North Brew Co x Left Handed Giant Cold Coast by Mash Gang
Is this beer the best of the lager and IPA worlds? Have you had the chance to try one yet? Let us know!
Check out the article that Jo found about West Coast Pils here: https://beerandbrewing.com/writing-the-rules-of-west-coast-pilsner/

| 13 Nov 2023 | 168 - Session Stouts | 01:03:38 | |
Stouts – for some they are a seasonal indulgence and others they are an all year round affair. But often you will hear in the craft beer community cries of ‘it’s too thin!’ or ‘this would be better if it was barrel aged!’ We are here to challenge this misinformation – session stouts are a thing and they can be just as flavourful as your 15% syrup thick beers!
There is always a time and place for imperial stouts, but what about your oatmeal, dry irish, milk and export stouts? We try 4 different stouts all under 5.5% and see if we can get the same luxurious experience we would get with an imperial (spoiler – we do!) Beers we tried: Scoria by Neon Raptor Mini Milk by Arbor Dusk by Cloudwater Cold Pressed Summer Stout by Unbarred
How do you feel about session stouts? Let us know in the comments.

| 14 Jun 2021 | 040 - A Woman’s Brew x Women on Tap: The Pub That Didn’t Exist | 02:02:07 | |
Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer! We’ve got a very special episode for you today that was specially commissioned by Women on Tap CIC for the 2021 Festival. Women on Tap were looking for creative commissions for this year’s festival and A Woman’s Brew: The Podcast were honoured to be selected as one of 6 submissions. We want to showcase the wonderful women of Women’s Pint Club – a beer group started in person by Jo but then expanded to include all those online via a Facebook group and Zoom. Throughout the lockdown period these women have found a way to connect, make lasting friendships and support one another in ‘the pub that didn’t exist’ on Zoom. Tori and Jo asked the group about their differing experiences of the lockdowns, their feelings about the pub and virtual events and how Women’s Pint Club affected them during the pandemic. We speak to the international members and find out their differing experiences. Finally, a few members who felt comfortable to do so met in person and discussed the difference between the real pub and the virtual, what it means to us and the benefits of both. We want an inclusive society and experience in beer – virtual and in person events can aid this inclusion. What we want you to take away from this episode is our love for the beer community and the hospitality sector; how it has helped us get through the devastating impact of a global pandemic, but also how we’ve managed to help each other in the process. The ‘organised chaos’ that is our beer group Women’s Pint Club is here to stay, both in person and virtually. The pub isn’t just four walls, it’s the community that you build.
If you would like to know more about Women on Tap and see what other events – both virtual and in person – are part of the festival you can visit their website here:

| 06 Nov 2023 | 167 - Beer Tarot with Courtney Iseman | 00:43:55 | |
Beer is often linked to music, pop culture and other interests that craft beer drinkers enjoy – but have you ever considered pairing beer with tarot? Courtney Iseman has been pulling tarot cards and pairing them with beer experiences for a while in her newsletter Hugging The Bar, which Jo loves to read. She’s now put her experience into a new beer zine - Beer Tarot: Pulling Cards, Pouring Beer, & Discovering Self.
With Courtney, Jo discusses how you can start using tarot and how you can apply it to your craft beer hobby. She also gives advice on how to work on your own zine.

In this episode we tap into the world of core beer ranges, the power of first beer impressions, and the essence of a brewery's core lineup.

We also took this opportunity to taste through some beers Jo brought back from the US from Alaskan Brewing Co – one of the breweries that got her into beer. Tori and Jo share a selection of the beers that started their craft beer journeys – with some interesting overlaps! Oh! And Tori gamifies the system by testing Jo’s knowledge of core range beers!

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
This week we chat to Ben from 360° Brewing Co. Did you know that they are 10 years old?! We sure didn’t! As a brewery that produces both traditional and craft styles we discuss how they choose what to brew and the sense of place that 360 puts into their beers.
Ben and Tori share a love for punny and interesting beer names, while we are both excited by the work 360 do with a local campsite to keep the camper’s thirst at bay. We might have to plan a visit ourselves! We applaud the collaboration between local businesses, especially right now.
Grab some fresh cans from 360 at their webshop here: https://www.360degreebrewing.com/shop/
And give them a follow on socials to see what they are up to next.
What’s the best beer name you have seen? Let us know in the comments!

| 27 Nov 2023 | 170 - Interesting & Unique Ingredients | 01:07:52 | |
There’s been talk recently about ingredients in beer and if here, in the UK we should restrict what can go in a beverage called beer. Here at A Woman’s Brew we say why stifle creativity?! So, we bring you some beers that use interesting or even unique ingredients.
Some of these beers we’ve been sitting on for a little bit, so they may be difficult to get hold of if you want to try them – soz! But hopefully we inspire you to go try some beers made from interesting things.
We tried:
Elixir by Yonder, a birch water, cold-steeped, barrel aged, sour porter with chaga. Read more here: https://brewyonder.co.uk/blogs/news/natures-elixir
Purple is the new black by Kees, a Ube pastry stout
DDF M*rs Bar from Vault City x Neon Raptor, a deep fried mars bar stout
What’s the weirdest ingredient you’ve ever had in a beer? Let us know!

| 28 Nov 2022 | 116 - Brave Noise Round Up Ep 7: Fierce Beer | 00:51:35 | |
Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer! We are back making a Brave Noise, this time with Fierce Beer! We chat to Kirsty from Fierce about their version of the beer and why they took part in the initiative. Kirsty comes from a background working in beer bars and has a lot of insight around what it’s like for bar staff in the beer industry. Fierce donated their portion of Brave Noise profits to the Drinks Trust to support workers in the hospitality industry. It’s good to remember that the issues raised by the Brave Noise initiative and those like it affect not just those working in breweries, but the hospitality industry as a whole. Disclaimer – in this episode we talk a lot about Beer52, through which the Fierce Brave Noise beer was distributed. We recorded this episode in August with Kirsty and the beer was released in December 2021. At A Woman’s Brew we always advocate for shopping local and supporting your craft beer bars, pubs, taprooms and bottle shops, who need our support more than ever at this time. To check out Fierce’s current range of beers, head to their website here: https://www.fiercebeer.com/browse And find out more about the Drinks Trust here: https://www.drinkstrust.org.uk/ If you are interested in finding out more about Brave Noise or taking part – there is still time!

| 01 Jul 2024 | 199 - Lager Series: Light Lager | 01:27:39 | |
In this episode of our lager series we are diving into the effervescent world of American light lagers, shining a spotlight on their unique place in beer culture.
Alongside giving you tasting notes, we navigate the fascinating history and marketing strategies that have propelled these beverages into the hearts and hands of many… if not those of us craft beer lovers! Tori grabbed us a Miller Lite while she was in the US, so we can give you our honest insights into the typical example of this style. We then compare this to craft and non alcoholic versions brewed here in the UK.
We drink: Miller Lite Good Time by Duration Low Life by Mash Gang
Do you shun light lagers or do you indulge in a little guilty pleasure every now and then, maybe on a hot day while bbqing?! Let us know!

| 15 Aug 2022 | 101 - Dessert Beers | 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! Back in episode 10 we looked at sustainability and told you about Toast. Joanne waxed lyrical about crumpets and the crumpet beer that she had missed out on… well! Toast have brewed another crumpet beer and we grabbed it! We also asked Toast a few questions about how they use bread products in their brews and why.

Tasting beers blind is a hard task, but it’s also really fun! This week we are trying to guess what Yonder’s 2024 mystery beers are and arguing about it along the way!
We discuss blind beer tastings in general – they are a great way to train your tasting palate - and ways you can set up your own. As it happens, Jo has a kit for that in her Etsy shop!
Have you tried this year’s mystery beers? What do you think they are?
You can still enter Yonder’s competition until 31stMarch, find out more information here: https://brewyonder.co.uk/blogs/news/mystery-beers-project-2024
