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!

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
Ask me about my imposter syndrome! We saw this awesome beer name from Spookton Brew Co – in case you’ve missed it, we talk about our importer syndrome on the reg!
Our excitement over the beer name caught the attention of Spookton founder Jon, and he reached out to us. We are so excited to have a chat with him about how he started the brewery, Spookton’s charitable efforts and his thoughts on Imposter Syndrome. We also get a bit of Brave Noise talk in there for good measure!
You can find out more about Spookton Brew Co on their website here:
https://spookton.co.uk/
Give them a follow on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter here as well:

And don’t forget to ask your local bottle shop to get some Spookton in so you can try these tasty beers! They can contact Jon to order here:

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
We are making noise with Sophie and Maz from Lost & Grounded this week as we continue our Brave Noise round up.
Lost & Grounded brewed a lager for their Brave Noise beer which just shows you can make any beer and still make a brave noise! The beer was in collaboration with We Are Beer festivals but if you missed it, you can still find it on their webstore here:
https://www.lostandgroundedstore.co.uk/
It is delicious! While you are there, grab a Brave Noise and Women of the Bevolution shirt too!
Maz and Sophie talk us through brewing the Brave Noise beer and the process of putting together their code of conduct. We chat about how breweries might already have these in place, but just haven’t signed up to Brave Noise yet – come join us everyone!

As always, our advice is to support your local bottleshops and bars when you can, but in a pinch, here are our supermarket choices to get you through.

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
Back in episode 67 we talked you through barley wines. These strong ales were brewed to be stored and aged and modern brewers are doing interesting things with them. This week we take a look at NOT barley wines!
Close relative to the barley wine is the wheat, oat and rye wine and we sample an example of each. How do the different grains change this beer style? Why would brewers use these alternative grains and which do we like best?
Have you tried any of these not barley wines? Let us know in the comments.
And if you missed it, you can listen back to episode 67 here:

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
In the next episode of our UK Brave Noise round up we chat to Vendy from Vault City about their Brave Noise brew. In true Vault City fashion they brewed a twist on the recipe creating a pineapple sour pale. It stays true to both the brewery and Brave Noise while still being refreshing, accessible and making a noise for awareness – exactly what we need!
Vendy talks about her experience of brewing the beer and her time at Vault City who are an excellent example of how breweries can get involved with Brave Noise.
The beer is unfortunately sold out, but you can check out other Vault City beers here:

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
In another of our Brave Noise episodes we are honoured to talk to Ash & Ren from the Brave Noise team while they were at London Craft Beer Festival this summer.
We had important discussions about why breweries should get involved with the initiative, why it’s not just about the pale ale recipe and how we can all be better at inclusivity.
A massive thank you to Ash and Ren for giving us their time and sharing their insights with us. And thank you to Tom from We Are Beer for helping to make this happen.
Are there breweries you still wish could brew a Brave Noise beer? Tag them in the comments!
If you want to find out more about the Brave Noise initiative check out the website here:
https://www.bravenoisebeer.com/
You can find the initiative on Instagram here:

Ash & Women of the Bevolution can be found here:

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
We’ve got a light hearted episode for you today which has been in the making for a while. What are your thoughts on cocktails? Then what are your thoughts on cocktail flavoured beers?!
In what we hope will be a series of episodes, we take a look at the strawberry daiquiri. But what’s in it and how do you make one? And how to you make a beer version?
We taste a cocktail in a can from All Shook Up, which is readily available in Tesco. Then we compare it to Phantom Brew Co’s Paying with Naivety and our very own She’s Fruity – our IWCBD beer with Lost Industry.
Are you a cocktails drinker? Which should we cover next? Let us know in the comments!
