Apple Podcasts5rafiki270United Kingdom4 years ago - Great beer industry insight
I really enjoy Nickās insightful look at the beer industry, especially the interviews and the diverse and varied range of guests.
Apple Podcasts5TypwrtrUnited Kingdom5 years ago - Brewing Brilliance
I found this after looking for UK based beer podcasts, as I was finding the US ones a tad un-relatable in some aspects. The discussions with breweries are fantastic, really insightful and help the humble home brewers (myself) understand the complexities of proper beer making! The only reason I havenāt given this five stars is that a bit more content on homebrewing would (for me) make this a complete/holistic view on the craft beer scene, but otherwise well done.
Apple Podcasts4Dkn321United Kingdom5 years ago - Insightful
