Welcome to A Woman’s Brew – The Podcast, where women talk about beer! A Woman’s Brew is two beer loving women on a mission to get more people drinking and talking about great beer. Joanne & Tori want to talk you through beer styles, breweries we love, beer tasting tips, beer traditions and more from the world of craft beer.
Joanne has been drinking beer since she was handed a Sam Adams Boston lager and realised that not all beer was yellow and fizzy. She was travelling the world while working on cruise ships at the time and tried every beer she could get her hands on. 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! She passed with 97% and began to build her beer school Love Beer Learning to support other women to discover beer, build their confidence in beer tasting and amplify their voices in the beer community. She is now a Certified Cicerone and has made the leap to work in beer full time.
Though most people don't believe it, Tori was born and raised near Boston in the US but has been living in the UK since 2013. When she first moved here, she stuck to ciders, Brewdog, and Brewdog guest beers and was a pretty big Brewdog fangirl. Within the last 2 years she started to branch out as she saw the scene grow to a point that she couldn’t miss out on it any longer. She says that since the beginning of 2020, she’s really belly flopped off the deep end into craft beer and hit a level she never thought she would where she now considers this her hobby. She loves taking photos in her spare time and when she travels, so already had a few Instagram accounts on the go, which is why she chose Instagram as the platform to start giving her thoughts on the beers she was trying. She refers to these as her “opinions nobody asked for” and it was just a way for her to pass time during lockdown while dusting off her old, rusty writing skills from many moons ago when she was a journalism student. She met Joanne in a Facebook beer group and after seeing her pass the CBS exam, approached her to create this podcast, where women teach women about beer!
The podcast will be with you once a month with our thoughts and views on the world’s favourite beverage. Find us on your favourite podcasting platforms and don't forget to subscribe.

077 - A Conversation WIth... Unbarred Brewery
A Woman's Brew
02/28/22 • 66 min
Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
This week we have been lucky enough to chat to Jordan from Unbarred Brewery. Not only do they brew amazing beer, they also support their local community and collaborate with local artists. From their home in Brighton they have big plans for the future!
We drink their Cold IPA – the first in a series of IPAs they are creating this year and a relatively new style here in the UK. Jordan talks us through the style and how it differs from a regular IPA.
You can find the Cold IPA and their other delicious beers on their webshop here:

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
We are so honoured to be talking to Dr J Nikol Jackson-Beckham from the Brewers Association. Not only was she their first Diversity Ambassador, she now leads the Brewers Association's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion department as the association's Equity & Inclusion Partner. She also runs Crafted for All LLC and is an advocate for inclusion in the beer community and industry. Her insights certainly opened our eyes!
Dr J gives us actionable tips on how we can all be inclusive not only in beer but throughout our lives. This was such an important conversation, and we hope that you get as much out of it as we did.
We can’t wait to have a drink with Dr J in real life one day!

069 A Conversation With... Orbit Beers
A Woman's Brew
01/03/22 • 80 min
Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!
In our first episode of 2022 we are lucky enough to chat with Paul from Orbit Beers. He has a very interesting brewing background which has resulted in beers that are creative and delicious!
We talk about where Paul gets his ideas from, how music is at the core of Orbit Beers and how you can be a DJ for a night (or at least 20 mins!) at the Orbit taproom. Our favourite part was finding out how Orbit got it’s name!
We tried Orbit’s Sazerac Sour and Blackberry Gose – check out their webshop now to find these and more delightful offerings!
