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!

Breweries are looking for ways to diversify in the current climate, and one of those ways is hop water! It’s potentially a good alternative if you aren’t drinking for whatever reason – but are they as good as they sound? And how are they made?
We try three different hop waters and throw in a Cloudwater soda for good measure. We try:
Lupho Apricot & Citra Hop Soda from Only With Love
Holy Hop Water with Sabro & Holy Hop Water with Mango and Citra from Northern Monk
Raspberry & Rhubarb Lemonade with Belma hops from Cloudwater
How do you feel about hop waters? Let us know in the comments!

While at Bristol Craft Beer Festival, we were delighted to catch up with Kelly from Good Chemistry Brewing!
As the owners of the beautiful Kings Head pub in Bristol, we chat about what it’s like to take over a pub and give it a new lease of life. Alongside the pub, Good Chemistry also have their own taproom at The Good Measure and Kelly talks to us about what it’s like to be part of the beer community in Bristol.
Good Chemistry is all about making beer accessible to all and their She Drinks Beer events do just that. We also look at how their packaging makes choosing the right beer for you easy too!
If you weren’t lucky enough to be at Bristol Craft Beer Festival, make sure you grab some beer from Good Chemistry here:

We love hops! Fruity, juicy, spicy, bitter and all the other good stuff they add to our fave beers. But what options do our brewers have when choosing how they will add them to their brews? As drinkers, do you know what things like T90, BBC, Lupomax and Cryo even mean? Never fear! We are here to explain them all!
We take a look at the hottest addition to beers right now – Thiols – and drink through a range of beers showcasing different hop products. We taste:
VIP Person from Phantom Brew Co
Embracing Equity from Rivington & Sureshot
BRU-1 Pineapple from Vault City, Pomona Island and BarthHaas X
We chat about green hopped beer, here’s our previous episode if you want to learn more:

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?

This week we bring you a touch of beer education. One of our favourite beers is Duchesse De Bourgogne – a Flanders Red ale. But what should you expect from this style and how does it relate to Oud Bruin, also know as Flanders Brown?
We look at tasting notes for these styles, the history behind them and sprinkle in a few fun facts. How different really are these two styles and which versions do we recommend you try?
Have you ever wondered about historical beer and what is might taste like – let us know your thoughts!

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
The lovely Ele from DMC Brewery chats to us this week about ginger beer! As a brewery that specialises in ginger beer, and what Ele refers to as ‘other weird beers’, she is definitely an authority on the subject.
We discuss the process of brewing ginger beer, the choice of ingredients and how their Viking aesthetic lends quite nicely to not only their brews but also events that they visit.
And – what makes the perfect s’more? Possibly the most important conversation we’ve ever had on the podcast!
Let us know how you make yours in the comments!
Check out DMC’s beers here:

We know we’re late, but in a galaxy far, far away we were on time! Happy (belated) Star Wars day!
Star Wars and beer seem to be inextricably linked – in the fictional world and ours. We drink through some Star Wars beers from our stashes and talk about alcoholic beverages in the series.
We also see what Star Wars drinks you could get at Disney – who wants to join us on a Podcast road trip to Galaxy’s Edge?!
Let us know who your fave (and worst) Star Wars characters are in the comments – we won’t judge!
