(Beery) Conversations With An Alien - Ransom

Ransom is my guest this week. Also known as The Revenant Alien (and he explains what he means by that in the episode). Ransom is a fellow podcaster and creative but worried he was not into beer enough to be on the pod. But, as you'll discover during this chat... a) Ransom has a lot more to say about beer than he thought and b) beer acts as a brilliant springboard into a whole world of other topics. We talk everything from IPAs that look like orange juice, to perfectionism, Rage Against The Machine, ancient Czech lager recipes... and even near-death experiences. Pour yourself a cold one, settle in and enjoy.

I mention at the end of this episode that you can have a go yourself at The Beer Questionnaire - this new software called Rumble Studio will allow you and I to do a "virtual interview" - it will record your answers, send them to me, and I can use the audio in a future episode.

It would be brilliant to get some of these in, so please do get clicking on the link below and recording (it's fine to just answer as many of the questions as you want - you don't need to do all of them if you don't want to):

What It's Really Like To Start And Run A Microbrewery (with Zac from Bad Idea Brewing Co)

1 Recommendations

Founding a new microbrewery is a dream for many of us beer lovers... so what is it like to actually do it? Zac Fox, COO and Head Brewer of Bad Idea Brewing Co (one of the greatest names for a brewery ever in my opinion) gives a brilliantly honest, passionate and positive account of his experiences. This interview really gets across the special community atmosphere that exists within brewing. There are highs... (Zac explains how brewing gives job satisfaction few other professions can match)... lows... (you won't believe what happened with their first professional brew)... and superbly random moments (toasters, metallurgy and Cinnamon Toast Crunch all get discussed). Enjoy!

Palmers Brewery Tour - Video Special

1 Recommendations

Palmers is one of the oldest breweries in the UK that still operates in traditional ways. I've been wanting to do their tour for ages, and when I was in Dorset last week, I finally did it. It didn't disappoint. This is, I guess, like a good old-fashioned slide show. I give my reflections on the tour while sharing pictures from my visit. It's only 8 mins long, so it is a whistle-stop tour. To see the video, you need to listen to this episode via Spotify - here's the link (NB - if no video shows, it may vibe still processing - check back later):

I thoroughly recommend you do this tour yourself at the brewery - it's £17 and you get 2 hrs of tour and a very generous sampling session after (plus you get to keep your Palmers tasting glass).
