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!

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!

We are very excited to get this episode to you because we’ve been planning it for a while. When Jo saw the beautiful artwork on an Urbanaut can and realised it was a beer blender, she knew there had to be an episode about beer blending! We take you through three different beer blends, teach you the rules of blending (and promptly break them!) and give you some ideas for blends of your own.

Have you experimented with beer blending? What worked for you, or what didn’t? Let us know in the comments!

There is a useful article about beer blending here on Beer Merchants:

https://www.beermerchants.com/features/a-guide-to-beer-blending

Here’s the link to the Love Beer Learning blog, and Jo’s recipes for beer pizza dough, beeramisu and Elvis Juice pancakes:

A Woman’s Brew - 114 - Historical Recipes

114 - Historical Recipes

A Woman’s Brew

play

11/14/22 • 78 min

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!

Some of the most interesting innovation in craft beer can come from historical sources. In this episode we have gathered together a selection of beers that come from historical recipes and practices.

Starting with Bishop’s Finger from the oldest brewery in the UK, Shepherd Neame, moving to a mild recipe from 1916 by Elusive and Partizan, Holy Goat make an appearance with their 1897 export stout and finishing with a 200th anniversary oude gueuze from Lindemans. We cover the gambit of the oldest bottled beer, old recipes bought back to life and celebration of traditional beer making techniques.

Brewing is such an interesting art! Are there other historical beers we should look at? Let us know in the comments!

Check out the International Women’s Day page on the Shepherd Neame website here:

12/12/22 • 55 min

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!

You may have seen hard seltzers making an appearance in supermarkets and bars. But what are they, how are they made and how do they taste?

In this episode we drink three hard seltzers, made by breweries, so you don’t have to!

We discuss how hard seltzers are made, their popularity in the US and why they don’t seem to be so big in the UK and what flavours you can expect to find on the shelves.

We tried hard seltzers from:

Shipyard Brewing Company

New Hokkaido

The Brewing Projekt

To find out more about how hard seltzers are made check out this article from Wine Enthusiast:

https://www.winemag.com/2022/03/01/hard-seltzer-definition-guide/

And more information about hard seltzers can be found on Vinepair here:

A Woman’s Brew - 107 - Not Barley Wines (Revisited)
play

09/26/22 • 66 min

Welcome to A Woman’s Brew, where women talk about beer!

Back in episode 67 we talked you through barley wines. These strong ales were brewed to be stored and aged and modern brewers are doing interesting things with them. This week we take a look at NOT barley wines!

Close relative to the barley wine is the wheat, oat and rye wine and we sample an example of each. How do the different grains change this beer style? Why would brewers use these alternative grains and which do we like best?

Have you tried any of these not barley wines? Let us know in the comments.
