Sonja Mitchell | Managing Director | Jump Ship Brewing

Welcome to we are beer people, a podcast all about the many different people who help us enjoy beer.

Today we’re taking a leap from what is – if we’re honest – the perfectly stable ground beneath our feet and taking the risk and opportunity of the high seas.

In some ways that’s the journey that today’s guest has taken

I’m speaking with Sonja Mitchell, the Managing Director or Beer Admiral of Jump Ship Brewing, an alcohol-free beer brand that started when Sonja – an avid sailor - had had enough of low alcohol beers not coming close to the Scottish beers she enjoyed.

And so Sonja quite literally jumped ship from her day job to brew her own

And after much work and many brews, their lager, Yardarm, achieved best no and low alcohol lager in the World Beer Awards.

Fast forward to today and Jump Ship’s a small crew of shipmates with a brewery under construction in Midlothian with its sights set on making the world a little better along the way.

Ron Pattinson | Beer writer & historian

Welcome to we are beer people, a podcast all about the many different people who help us enjoy beer.

One of the things I love about beer and brewing is that it is of its time, of its place and of its people. We can look into a brewery – see why it brews certain beers, what was popular, who was making it, where the ingredients came from and how it was brewed - and it tells us so much about the time, the place and the people.

That’s why I’m really excited to speak with today’s guest, Ron Pattinson.

Ron’s a beer writer and a beer historian – well known for researching uncovering, deciphering and documenting historical beer styles and brewing practices.

That’s no mean feat, when you might have to navigate a brewery’s idiosyncratic archives take thousands of notes and photos and make sense of large amounts of data recorded and stored with variable consistency.

You might have heard of him from his website Shut Up About Barclay Perkins or his publications, which range from the homebrewers' guide to vintage beer to city and country guides around Europe.

So let’s head into the archives and have a chat with one of the beer people about the beer and its place in history.
