  • A must-listen for beer lovers

    This podcast is mostly composed of interviews with brewers and other beer industry folks, and those conversations are always interesting, thought-provoking and entertaining. If you love drinking beer, thinking about beer and talking about beer, it’s very nice to listen to such top notch beer chat.

  • Fantastic beer podcast

    Lots of breadth, covers lots of topics. I went through the whole first season in less than a day, and I’ve listened to a couple of the latest.

    The pilot is a little shaky, but stay with it. I love the read-through of articles at the end of the podcast, strong Radio 4 energy in the best possible way (from what I remember as a kid!)

    I discovered it from an article in the Ferment magazine (also a great publication and I miss their podcast)
