It’s our annual Halloween podcast crossover and this year we’re delighted to be chatting to the Spooky AF podcast, a local Irish pod that explores all things spooky, paranormal and weird. We hear from Rob and Suz about how their podcast came to be, their favourite Irish pubs (haunted ones…?) and ghostly stories from Ireland.
Lisa and Christina also appeared on their podcast - go and have a listen. And happy Halloween to all you spooky souls…

The Glasladies Beer Society is on a mission to connect beer-loving women (and non-binary folk) in Glasgow and this year they’re turning FIVE. But they don’t just organise regular meetups, they have an annual beer festival too! The Beer is for Everyone festival is happening on 16 November in Glasgow with a focus on inclusivity, from accessibility to allowing kids and dogs. It’s a celebration of Scottish craft beer and culture for the whole family. Part of the proceeds will be going to two worthy charities: Scottish Action for Mental Health (SAMH) and The Women’s Centre Glasgow.
Listen as Nix and Kristin talk through some of the Glasladies’ history, how they moved from a meetup to festival organisers and what they’re looking forward to at this year's festival. Get your tickets below, it promises to be amazing!

We’re back after an extended summer break.. we did not just rest in the sunshine (LOL, Ireland) but were all busy as hell and so our wee podcast was delayed. Nevermind, we’re here now and our first episode is really just a catchup on what we’ve all been up to (beery or otherwise!) as well as a look into season 5 and what’s to come.

We’re continuing our bumper series of interviews with authors who’ve just released books (that you should absolutely buy…) and this week we hear from Dr James Wright from Triskele Heritage and his work on Archaeological mythbusting. We’re particularly interested in the many claims of pubs having no real proof of their advertised age, as well as how one goes about verifying the claims to begin with. The question always remains, should the truth ruin a great story? A truly fascinating look into building archaeology and what it can reveal.

In this week’s episode, Lisa, Thandi and Christina debate an ever-popular topic in beer (and other things!) - ethos. Does the ethos of a brewery influence you to buy, or not buy, their beer? What happens when breweries make good beer, but treat their staff badly, or are divisive in their politics? We chat about a few stories that have been in the news over the last few years, and debate our own feelings on separating art from artist.

This week we’re delving into the culture and customs around Irish Pints. Pints in Ireland are not simply having a drink - there are as many occasions as there are colours, and often the Irish customs are led by the occasion, whether wedding, funeral or after-work spontaneous pints. Ali Dunworth has written a marvellous, must-read book called A Compendium of Irish Pints documenting these nuances in a fun, relatable way, with awesome illustrations by Stephen Heffernan. We’re chatting with Ali this week about the book and sharing experiences of pints. This is not to be missed!

Have you ever wondered whether climate was responsible for beer styles emerging? Well, we did! So we’re digging into it a little - with how regional crops led to some of the styles we know today, and whether there is evidence of climate affecting beer historically. We also chat about how globalisation and industrialisation has impacted beer production and our own expectations, as well as how climate change is already (and will) impact beer of the future. Listen in, as we found this one very interesting.

This week we’re delving into the mish-mash of cultures: beer and running. Turns out they’re not far removed from each other, with all sorts of events incorporating both and the rise of isotonic beers. Listen as Lisa, Katie and Christina share their own running (and walking!) journeys and views on how the two cultures marry or collide.

After a short catchup on what’s been keeping us busy, we’re chatting about beer competitions! Especially as our Irish National Competition is coming up on 18 May - and beyond giving you all a taste of what a competition looks like, how it's put together, this is also a big ol’ shout out to the homebrewers, judges and volunteers near and far to come and join us for Nationals. If you’d like to sponsor any sort of prize, get in touch with Thandi on Instagram at @craftgeeeksa

We’re rounding off our Women’s Month special replays with Ulrike from Schneeeule in Germany. Did you know that the style of Berliner Weisse nearly died out? Meet one of the brewers who are keeping it - in its most historically accurate form -alive: Ulrike Genz from Schneeeule brewery in Berlin. She tells Lisa, Katie, and Thandi all about how Berliner Weisse should actually contain Brettanomyces, why kettle souring isn’t “the way” and takes us through her own fascinating journey from Civil Engineering to brewing.

Welcome back to another Women’s Month replay - and this week we’re rebroadcasting our chat with Apiwe Nxusani-Mawela, one of South Africa’s best known brewers. Apiwe was the first black woman in South Africa to own a brewery, and boasts a CV that would make almost any brewer look like an amateur. She’s had a very interesting journey into and through the beer world, with loads of ups and downs - today we talk about her brand Tolokazi, her NPO Brew4Change as well as her personal adventures all over the world judging and talking about beer.

Continuing our theme of Women's Month replays - we’re going back all the way to Season 1 (with Covid references even!) where we chatted with Aine from Connemara Brewing. Aine has a rich history in brewing that’s taken her all over the world and has vast experience in both small and macro breweries. She now runs Connemara Brewing (with a great team!) and is employing some very interesting techniques. We loved having Aine on the pod and hope you appreciate the replay!
