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!
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!
In case you missed it – we brewed a Brave Noise beer with Merakai Brewing Co. While we were making a noise about it in podcast episode 80, Olly was talking to the guys at Beer Fridge Podcast and Jonny Garrett from the Craft Beer Channel. Check out their episode here:
https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/brave-noise-with-jonny-garrett-and-merakai-brewing/id1423388212?i=1000555686023
To round this trilogy off, we organised a mixed panel to discuss the issues in the beer industry with the guys at Beer Fridge and Emma & Olly from Merakai. We have an open and frank conversation about the Brave Noise initiative, festivals, harassment and what it’s like to be a woman in the beer community.
We pledge to continue to have the hard conversations around these topics and be the change we want to see in the beer community. Are you with us?!

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
We are getting spicy this week with a chat with Sam from Hopt Sauce. The process of making hot sauce draws some interesting paralles with the process of brewing beer. Sam created Hopt Sauce out of his love for craft beer and flavour. We chat about how to make hot sauce, how collaborations work and how hot sauce is surprisingly marketed in a masculine way.
Go buy some of Sam’s delicious sauces at his website here:
