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!

And Jo still manages to bring up crumpets!

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
We are very excited to get this episode to you because we’ve been planning it for a while. When Jo saw the beautiful artwork on an Urbanaut can and realised it was a beer blender, she knew there had to be an episode about beer blending! We take you through three different beer blends, teach you the rules of blending (and promptly break them!) and give you some ideas for blends of your own.
Have you experimented with beer blending? What worked for you, or what didn’t? Let us know in the comments!
There is a useful article about beer blending here on Beer Merchants:
https://www.beermerchants.com/features/a-guide-to-beer-blending
Here’s the link to the Love Beer Learning blog, and Jo’s recipes for beer pizza dough, beeramisu and Elvis Juice pancakes:

And here is Tori’s blog, go give her some love!

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
Back in episode 10 we looked at sustainability and told you about
Toast. Joanne waxed lyrical about crumpets and the crumpet beer that she had missed out on… well! Toast have brewed another crumpet beer and we grabbed it! We also asked Toast a few questions about how they use bread products in their brews and why.
Since we did this recording, Toast have released a 4th beer in their Rise Up series – a Mango IPA with Odd Box London and Flawsome Drinks.
Check out the whole Rise Up range here:

You can write to your MP about food waste here:

Have you had any of Toast’s Rise Up series or the crumpet table
beer? Let us know what you thought in

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
What is a ‘hype’ beer and is it worth it? Tori and Jo try a few ‘hype’ beers including
Putty & Don’t Tell Gus from Verdant and Mocha Imperial Stout from Vocation
x Pomona Island. But there aren’t just
hype beers – there is hype around releases and breweries and even supermarket
beers. We discuss all of this and more.
Is there a hype beer you think we’ve missed? Let us know in the comments!
