A Woman’s Brew
A Woman’s Brew Podcast follows the ‘beer-ventures’ of two beer-loving women – Joanne Love & Tori Powell – on their mission to get more people drinking and talking about great craft beers. The duo look to infuse equal parts education, playfulness, and story-telling with a dash of chaos across their episodes with the aim to make the craft beer hobby more fun and approachable for all – made by women for everyone! Tori and Joanne are both UK based, but weave in their US connections with their love of travel to bring you – dear listeners – stories from across the industry and across the globe. They hope that you’ll grab a drink of your choosing and join them for a round or few – CHEERS!

We’re solving the mystery that is Mysterious Brewing, this week! We chatted to Ken, co-founder of the brewery about his homebrewing background and how the brewery began only 5 months ago.
We were very lucky to try 3 beers from Mysterious – Citrus Triangle, Citra single hop pale, Black Light, a black IPA and Sitka, a spruce ESB.
Ken gives us his best advice for budding homebrewers and those that want to move into the commercial field. We also talk about cuckoo brewing and the Berkshire brewery scene.

Welcome to our new series about Lager! Often people just ask for ‘a lager’, but there are so many different styles that come under the umbrella of lager. We wanted to share our favourites with you!
We’re starting with Czech Pilsner, also known as Czech Premium Pale Lager. We look at the history of the style, tasting notes according to BJCP and share a few examples – from traditional to craft.
Which lager style should we do next? Let us know in the comments!
And listen to our comparison of Pilsner Urquell and Attic’s Birmingham Pilsner here:
