A Woman’s Brew

Joanne & Tori want to talk you through beer styles, breweries we love, beer tasting tips, beer traditions and more from the world of craft beer. Joanne has been drinking beer since she was handed a Sam Adams Boston lager and realised that not all beer was yellow and fizzy. She was travelling the world while working on cruise ships at the time and tried every beer she could get her hands on. When she came home she decided she wanted to learn more about where the aromas and flavours in her favourite beers came from. During lockdown in the UK in 2020 she set herself the challenge to pass the Cicerone Certified Beer Server exam to earn a qualification in beer, just for fun!

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
This week we are chatting to Natalie from Beer Feelings. Jo has visited the Beer Feelings podcast a couple of times now, so we thought it was time we returned the favour. We chat about beer in the UK vs the US, what even are ‘controversial beer styles’ and what it’s like to be a woman beer content creator.
Beer Feelings is very much the American cousin of A Woman’s Brew. We had so much fun chatting to Natalie that we couldn’t fit it all in one podcast – so look out for part two next week! And if you can’t wait that long, why not hop on over to the Beer Feelings podcast for more beer fun with Natalie here:

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
We are still making a Brave Noise about the Brave Noise initiative!
In our second episode bringing you the people behind the UK Brave Noise beers, we chat to Tom from We Are Beer. In collaboration with Lost & Grounded in Bristol, they have produced a Brave Noise lager as the festival beer for the We Are Beer craft beer festivals.
Not only is this the first UK Brave Noise lager but it also highlights that you don’t need to be a brewery or home brewer to make a Brave Noise! We chat about how people can take part in Brave Noise (it’s easier than you think!) and how We Are Beer are striving to create safe and inclusive festivals for all.
If you are going to any of the We Are Beer festivals in London, Glasgow, Manchester or Birmingham, make sure you grab the Brave Noise lager. And if you have ideas of appropriate charities for these festivals to support with a portion of the profits please email Tom at tom@wearebeer.com
Find out about the We Are Beer Festivals here:

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
Are you a wine person, or do you have friends who will only drink wine? Well, we’ve got some episodes for you! We truly believe that there is a beer for everyone, so in this two part series we are finding beers that wine drinkers might enjoy. Let’s kick things off with white and sparkling wines.
Tori gives you a comprehensive look at white and sparkling wines with some thorough research in case you (like Jo) know nothing about wine. We then pick 4 beers that we think wine drinkers might approve of.
We sample:
Brut IPA by Cassels
Ninkasi Saison by Wild Beer Co
Hybrid Moments White Wine IPA by Phantom x Heist
Coolship 2021 by Wild Beer Co
Jo also gives you some cool facts about how these beers are produced and the similarities between beer and wine production.
Do you think you can tempt some of your wine drinking friends over to the beer side now? Head over to Instagram to let us know!

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? Head on over to Instagram and let us know!

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
This week we chat to Joey from Beer in the City about pub quizzes, where to find the best beer in Florence and where you can buy the BEST pub quiz prizes (spoiler – it’s charity shops!)
Joey helps craft beer enthusiasts find the best beer by writing local and city guides. He also hosts quizzes in craft beer taprooms and pubs around London to try to make the craft beer scene accessible to everyone – a mission we fully support here at A Woman’s Brew!
