Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pillars Brewery: Crafting Quality Lagers in London With Peter Kennelly
Q: How have awards affected Pillars' sales conversations and positioning?
Awards provide credibility and can help buyers overlook some initial hesitations, acting as a tangible signal of quality in a crowded market.
Pillars Brewery: Crafting Quality Lagers in London With Peter Kennelly
Q: What are the main obstacles independent lagers face when pitching to pubs and buyers?
Price competition, access to market, and the limited support from vast global brands for smaller independents, plus the complex, sometimes expensive lines required to win space in the on-trade.
Pillars Brewery: Crafting Quality Lagers in London With Peter Kennelly
Q: Can you walk us through why Pillars chose to focus exclusively on lager from the start?
Pillars focused on lager to fill a gap in London and the UK for genuinely high-quality lagers, aligning the brand with premium, accessible products and focusing on education and hospitality to shift perceptions.
How Great Teams Build Great Beer with Dominic Driscoll of Thornbridge Brewery
Q: What's your pride or most memorable beer you brewed at Thornbridge?
As a production manager, I'm proud of all of them, with specific credit to the Union era beers like the Dark Mile and Burton Ale; but I always try to ensure every beer is right for the next brewer to take over, focusing on consistency and process.
The Fab Four: Yeast With Paul Malcolm From WHC Lab
Q: How do you approach temperature control and oxygenation to optimize fermentation at homebrew scales?
Emphasize consistent temperature control, proper pitch rates, and gentle aeration; avoid over-oxygenation, and use simple methods to ensure adequate oxygen without cylinders, with a focus on practical homebrew setups.
