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!

Cath is also the founder of Brum Beer Babs and Brum Brew Fest. Jo has serious FOMO from nit being able to go to Brum Brew Fest – maybe we can go next year?! We chat about women’s beer groups and why diverse spaces are important in the beer community.

Welcome to our new series about Lager! Often people just ask for ‘a lager’, but there are so many different styles that come under the umbrella of lager. We wanted to share our favourites with you!
We’re starting with Czech Pilsner, also known as Czech Premium Pale Lager. We look at the history of the style, tasting notes according to BJCP and share a few examples – from traditional to craft.
Which lager style should we do next? Let us know in the comments!
And listen to our comparison of Pilsner Urquell and Attic’s Birmingham Pilsner here:

Breweries are looking for ways to diversify in the current climate, and one of those ways is hop water! It’s potentially a good alternative if you aren’t drinking for whatever reason – but are they as good as they sound? And how are they made?
We try three different hop waters and throw in a Cloudwater soda for good measure. We try:
Lupho Apricot & Citra Hop Soda from Only With Love
Holy Hop Water with Sabro & Holy Hop Water with Mango and Citra from Northern Monk
Raspberry & Rhubarb Lemonade with Belma hops from Cloudwater
How do you feel about hop waters? Let us know in the comments!

While at Bristol Craft Beer Festival, we were delighted to catch up with Kelly from Good Chemistry Brewing!
As the owners of the beautiful Kings Head pub in Bristol, we chat about what it’s like to take over a pub and give it a new lease of life. Alongside the pub, Good Chemistry also have their own taproom at The Good Measure and Kelly talks to us about what it’s like to be part of the beer community in Bristol.
Good Chemistry is all about making beer accessible to all and their She Drinks Beer events do just that. We also look at how their packaging makes choosing the right beer for you easy too!
