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!
Last week, Jo visited Leeds Beer Festival to make a new friend! She chats to Pip Young from Coven Brewsters, an initiative to promote women owned and women brewed beer.
Pip is all about sustainability and promoting everyone in beer – making room at the table for all of the perspectives. We talk about the difficulties faced by women in the beer industry and community and how we don’t want to tokenise women, but we do want to promote their successes.
Make sure you follow Coven Brewsters on Instagram here:
https://www.instagram.com/thecoven.brewsters/
And find out what is happening with The Coven next! Also, keep an eye out for their super cool merch!
Have we missed any brilliant women owned and women brewed beer you think we should know about? Head over to Instagram to let us know!

From sticking a can of beer in your freezer to gourmet beer floats, we’ve got you covered! Grab your favourite beer and find out with us how you can make it extra extra!
Big thank you to Liz at BeerPicProject for inspiring this episode with her beer slushie instructions!

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
What is mead and what makes it interesting? We decided to look at
something a bit different in this episode, inspired by our interesting
conversations about honey with Wild Weather in episode 25. Mead is a fermented beverage like beer but is made from honey. We taste test Gosnell’s
of London’s 4 session meads to see what we think. Tori and Jo also regale you with stories of family history and school days – all related to honey and mead we promise!
Come find us on Instagram to let us know if you’ve tried mead and what you thought!
You can buy mead from Gosnell’s on their webshop here:
https://www.gosnells.co.uk/
And check out that conversation about honey with Wild Weather
in Episode 25 here.
